Dwj Korean Bbq - Memphis

This was my first time trying Korean cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised! The restaurant wasn’t very busy during the time we went so the server had plenty of time to explain the menu items to us. I was in a party of 6 and she made the perfect suggestions to each of us. The mango soju was very good! I wanted to go out and bought a few bottles afterwards. I played it safe with it being my first time trying it and went with the Chadol Baki. It was so good that I cleaned my plate! I’m definitely keeping this on my list of food places and will be recommending it to others as well!

Probably the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time… I usually only write good reviews of food places, but truly this was an exceptionally bad experience. The waitress did not seem to want to explain how the table cooking vs kitchen cooking worked and was unclear with her menu explanation. There were two other tables present- one that was leaving and one that had just ordered- and it took 40 minutes for our platter of uncooked meat to be brought out. Despite there being four of us, we were given two tongs and were told we could “figure it out amongst ourselves” because there were no other clean options. The order of ramen I received was like packaged ramen- similar to a Buldak bowl (which can be purchased at Walmart for a dollar) and was soggy by the time it was brought out- making the noodles puffy. Additionally, when the waitress was laying out the Korean BBQ plates, bowls, and meats her hair whipped onto the dinnerware, as it was styled all the way down her back. Beautiful, but not when it is touching the food and plates as she turns. Finally, although she said she would return to make sure we were using the pan correctly, she did not… and the pan was cooking unevenly with the crumpled aluminum they had placed over the skillet. Finally, though minor in comparison to the rest of the night, my friend had to ask me if she could drink my water, because the waitress never returned to refill any cup. Overall, it was a long string of inconveniences and disappointing food. The location itself wasn’t bad, though the restroom wasn’t very clean. Also, please be advised that the close earlier than the website says! Their door says 10pm, Google says 8:30, but in practice they closed at 8.

We had an incredible experience at this restaurant. My family and I truly loved it. Kid-friendliness: It is very accommodating for kids.

I traveled from out of town specifically to visit this restaurant after seeing some appealing pictures on Google. However, when I arrived, I was shocked by how poorly presented everything was. All I can say is that it looked like it was served on aluminum foil and a pancake skillet. To make matters worse, they placed raw, uncooked meat—pork, chicken, and beef—all on the same plate. It felt like they were serving me a big plate of Salmonella.

This was one of the best experiences of my life! I absolutely loved the ramen and the kimchi—definitely a 10/10 recommendation for the soup. It's like heaven in a bowl. Make sure to try the stir-fry as well! If you’ve never had Korean food, you should definitely visit this place; it’s fantastic, and I recommend it to everyone! P.S. It would be great to play some classic Korean music in the background or some TV entertainment like anime or Korean talk shows. - Ziyon Danner
