Dokébi Brooklyn Reviews
Came here (again) with my partner for dinner and had the loveliest birthday dinner. Been coming here for years and have never been let down by the food or service at Dokebi. Sensational restaurant and super reasonably priced. Love it here so very much! Everyone who works here is so kind too.
I ordered the Hot Stone Bibimbap and it’s one of my favorite bibimbaps in NYC — perfectly seasoned and the serving is not overwhelming. This place is a perfect date spot. The atmosphere is cozy, service is efficient, and the food is memorable. Been here twice with my husband and once with a group of friends and it never disappoints. Parking in the neighborhood is hard to find though, so plan ahead.
One of the last few staples of Williamsburg that’s been thriving for over two decades. If you want exceptional ingredients, quality service and very affordable prices, look no further than Dokebi. As a neighborhood resident, I’ve been eating here for over 15 years and have never been disappointed. You can’t go wrong with the Sundubu Stew, Bibimbap and Mul Naengmyun. Also, they have fantastic non-alcoholic options!
i loveeed the bibimbap and soon dubu stew. get the stone bowl bibimbap if you can, as you get the yummy crispy rice at the bottom! portions were perfect, banchan was just enough and delicious and they also have n/a beer which i appreciated. huge shout out to our server ethan, who went above and beyond, and was always one step ahead of us getting us things we needed before we even asked for them 🌟 thank you dokebi, we will be back 🌸
I tried Korean BBQ for the first time and it was such an enjoyable experience incredibly delicious! Korean BBQ actually reminded me a bit of döner kebab. It was really amazing. I had a great time, and the prices were reasonable too. You should definitely give it a try ,you won’t regret it!
The right balance of great service and dining experience makes Dokebi a great choice for dinner with family or friends. Loved the selection of Korean BBQ options (we tried many) and the spin on a margarita was a great addition. Go with the thinly sliced beef as the cooking is a little easier to manage but highly recommend Dokebi!
My favorite local Korean bbq spot! It’s awesome intimate, and tastyyy! The staff is always a delight and most of the time you can get a table but I would call ahead from Thursday to Sunday. Food is excellent Kim chee is on point, and they have a decent sake selection as well which is my preferred drink with Korean bbq! Go eat and enjoy 6 stars!!!
This authentic Korean cafe is a real find! The food here is absolutely delicious—the Bibimbap and fried chicken are particularly outstanding. The flavors are spot on, and you can tell everything is made with care and attention to detail. The only thing that caught me off guard was that they didn’t have my favorite Korean drink, Milkis, which I was looking forward to. But honestly, the quality of the food more than made up for it. If you’re craving authentic Korean cuisine, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back for sure, but hopefully, they’ll have Milkis next time!
Love this place. Having only A+ service and food here for years! Sneaky amazing brunch menu for those who hate the idea of regular williamsburg brunch. No waiting in line, no overly loud, overly terrible music, or any last night's disco crowd. A consistent and enjoyable restaurant with great staff and amazing chefs. Cheers and thank you!
Dokebi has an incredible staff who were extremely accommodating when we showed up last minute with a large party. They were happy to work with us and even split the check without any hassle, which we really appreciated. The food was solid overall - fairly standard fare. My kalbitang was a bit bland, but still enjoyable. One nice aspect of the menu is that it isn’t strictly Korean...they also offer Chinese and Japanese dishes, which gives everyone more options. A standout feature is the ability to have the KBBQ cooked in the kitchen instead of at the table. It’s a great option if you want to avoid smoke and fumes lingering in your clothes. Overall, a pleasant experience with excellent service.
Solid Korean spot - went there for lunch. Cocktails are great! Ordered the tacos which were decent but a bit too many toppings on them (got the short rib, oyster mushroom, spicy pork tacos). Scallion pancake was fine but nothing special. The beef bibimbap was good, got it with the purple rice for more texture — definitely get it in the sizzling hot stone bowl because it makes the rice crispy and helps everything mix together.
If you’re looking for real traditional Korean, please skip. Ingredients were all good but the sauce and seasoning weren’t classic Korean flavors. I got spicy bibim noodles. And my wife got the nakjee bokum (squid sautéed with veggies). We started with the seafood pancake (pajun) which was decent. Panchan was decent. Maybe it’s considered good fusion.
Very agreeable Korean food, the bibimbap was decent, I appreciated the fact that it was ACTUALLY spicy, definitely love the extra kick. I only give 3 stars though because the service wasn't exactly the best. I couldn't help but feel like the waiter wanted us to get out of there asap so he could give our table to someone else. That's probably because it was only two of us and didn't order any barbecue.
The food is fine, but overpriced. It’s not a true Korean BBQ because the meat was not marinated. The pork belly was really just bacon. So we felt like we payed $30 before taxes for a plate of bacon and some basic veggies. The little side dishes are nice. We also enjoyed the beer, Kirin. Atmosphere was definitely the stronger point here. It was comfortable and plenty of space between you and other guests. The lighting is nice too. The wait was only 15minutes and we got beer in the meantime.
I give two stars for some politeness, but having us wait a long time makes me think I will not return to this place. It was nice to check out but when asked to order, one waiter wasn't sure how to serve us or not. So I started to record. Not happy that there was someone who came to our table, pretending to be a waiter, and then we had to wait but what was more concerning was the distrust in the energy. you know the seating was nice too bad Service took a flop
