Fantuan allowed me to place an order while the establishment was closed -- it is confirmed, but no pickup email was ever delivered and the pickup time has lapsed. Google facilitated this purchase -- their hours for this business differ from what I saw at the establishment, where there's a sign that states "Back at 11:30am". (The same sign hangs in their window the next day at 4pm. Their phone number is also out of service.)Mysteriously, the order was "received" at 12:40am today, when I never picked up anything.Having had to download the Fantuan app to reach customer service, and now wait a week for the refund, I'm pretty displeased.

I recently saw this place move in and are here for the first time. Very tasty skewers with excellent service. Highly recommended as something low key but satisfying. Pork belly is the top pick!

Bland. Bad service.I was really excited to try this place. I ordered the combo B (ribeye, squid, sausage, chicken wings, corn, okra, salad) and chicken skin. I placed my order on skip the dishes, which didn't go through, then called and then had to place the order again. I got there after skip told me the order would be ready and was told it would be another 10 minutes. To their credit I probably only waited an extra 5 minutes.It seemed like nothing was seasoned at all except the wings (which didn't have any skin, so I guess you need to pay extra to get skin for your two chicken wings per $3 skewer). The chicken skin wasn't crispy or seasoned, the corn (about 1/3rd of a cob) was not sweet and had no seasoning, the okra was non-existent and instead I got a cherry tomato skewer that had like 5 unseasoned and lightly roasted cherry tomatoes, the ribeye was cooked well but had no seasoning, the sausage was a lone breakfast sausage on a skewer, and the squid was fine. The salad was some leaves with some dressing and sesame seeds.If everything had some kind of seasoning or sauce on it, it would have been fine and I would have given a good review, but for the price they're charging it's unacceptable what they're serving.

My mother and I tried this place on its very first day. The staff were mostly enthousiastic, calm & helpful and the music was just at the right volume but coming from the corner so we moved away from the source. This is not a place to cook your own Japanese BBQ but a restaurent of yakitori skewers. Delicious! They even had a free house sauce which enhanced each dish. I started with "miso soup with clams" which didn't have any detectable clams but had fresh seaweed, soft tofu and a gentle miso umami. We also ordered edamame, which came warm with salt. My mother enjoyed the green salad but didn't get the sauce on the side as requested. We also ordered chicken skin (so good especially with salt), ribeye beef, short ribs, octopus, jumbo shrimp, corns, mushrooms (so good we ordered another right away!), eggplant, beef tongue and okra. Unfortunately the last two were unavailable, and the eggplant never came but they did remove it from our bill. Each skewer order came with two. The decor was on theme and they had placed various Buddhas in some alcoves along the wall. I will note that despite it being their first day open, the bathrooms were not very clean. Will also note that the menus aren't consistent (one had okra another did not - one had octopus another had squid) as one had more details but both contained cartoon versions of the food and were visually accessible which I really appreciated personally. Our server was readily accepting feedback, very nice and attentive to us the entire time. Super cute place, a nice date night idea (although we also saw families exploring), and we both really enjoyed our meal. I would love to come again to try the rest of the menu!

We dined in on their first day open and had a delightful time..it was a really fun meal. Basically consisted almost entirely of food on skewers. We tried the corn, mushrooms, jumbo shrimp, miso soup, squid, chicken skin, beef rib eye and beef short ribs, edamame and the green salad..for the most part everything was absolutely delicious. I personally did not like the shrimp even though it was one massive shrimp per skewer and the short ribs were slightly chewy. The food tasted great and the special house sauce added a nice touch. Some things - like eggplant, okra, and beef tongue were not available even though on the menu. Beef short ribs were cooked medium rare. Every food item on menu was $6 or more (2 skewers per serving) and they had combo platters as well. This is not a place for folks with large appetites or who want lots of starch with their meal. It's a really fun place to go - loved the buddhas decor. Wondered why they had a live feed on the streets of Florence, Italy - why not Kyoto? But to be fair, they had another still life screen which was clearly Japan based images. We liked it - a bit of a quirky fun place to go for an evening. Pleasant, quiet, unrushed intimate atmosphere.

Visited this restaurant with a group of ladies to celebrate International women day! We had an enjoyable experience! The meal was skewer-centric and offered a diverse range of options. From the delicious shrimps, chicken wing, mushrooms to the flavorful squid, beef rib eye, all dishes were delightful. Nonetheless, the special house sauce elevated the flavors.the place is cozy and intimate, with charming Buddha decor. Overall, a fun spot for a unique dining experience. Definitely 5 stars food and service, I recommend!

The chicken thigh and chicken wings are so juicy! And the beef rib eye with lemon salt are so delicious!
Had a horrible experience at Dakogi! The lady server, Bushra, was pretty rude. Food was undercooked, and when we complained, things got worse. She got extremely rude and argued that how can we say that the food was undercook. She tossed our chicken in the bin right in front of us. Tried to reorder, she even refused to bring ketchup, even after promising earlier that it was complimentary, and after the arguments, she told us that we would have to buy the ketchup.It's not our first bad experience with Bushra, and this time, the food was oily and tasteless too along with pathetic customer service like always.. Plus, she seemed more into chatting with her friends than helping us.Upon asking to call the manager, she became defensive and arrogant again and told us that we can only talk to her and if we wanted to leave a complaint, it should be through her.Hope they sort out these issues. They used to have good food but now along with the customer service, the food has also gotten worse. I'm not planning on going there again!

Korean chicken tastes great! Hahaha, the interior is not very spacious with about 4-5 tables, but there are good restrooms and the chicken is faithful to the basics, so I am satisfied~ A half-chicken combo like that was about $22, and I almost exploded while eating it alone (I originally ate half).

The waitress barely spoke English. We had to point at the pictures in the menu. She got the order wrong. The sea food rice cake plate was terrible ... The clams were closed and could not be eaten and the shrimp and calmar were extremely overcooked ... We had to spit some bits out. Even the rice cakes were overcooked and falling apart. Terrible experience!But the chicken was tasty at least.
