Tuesday night, my friends and I had a quick dinner at DaeJi Cutlet House. It was our first time having food at this place. We had a great experience in this restaurant.
DaeJi Cutlet House is a Korean Restaurant based in Vancouver, BC. It’s located on Kingsway Burnaby, which is right across the street from Metrotown. It offers authentic Korean best cutlets and hamburger steaks serve to all their customers.
We arrived the restaurant around 6:30 pm on the weekday, so the restaurant was not very busy. We quickly found the table and began to look at the menu. Since one of my friends is Korean, it was very easy to order the meal. After discussed with each other, we decided to order the food to share. We had the most famous in this restaurant Kimchi fried rice, sweet corn cheese, deep-fried chicken to share.
Our food came out the kitchen fast. The kimchi fried rice came with a big plate of salad, which is a very great deal. The taste of the kimchi fried rice was great. I did not find any pork in the dish. It was actually Kimchi and Rice. But, the flavors were a little bit spicy and intense. I love it. The sweet corn cheese was very well cooked and fresh. It was my first time having this dish. Very special experience with it. In the end, the deep-fried chicken came out the kitchen. It was in very large portion too. I like the potatoes slices combinations with chicken. I donot very like the flavors (sweet and sour) of the chicken. It seems like they used their own sauces to mix them. Comparing the chicken dish to BBONG Korean Restaurant in Lougheed Town Center. I love BBONG Korean Restaurant Chicken more.
In summary, we spent $60 for the meal. We had fun to try some new restaurant. good experience.
Though known for their cutlets, the star of the night for me was the boneless deep fried chicken. Crispy, somewhat juicy, and a blast of sweet and sour / soya sauce (depending on what you choose). I liked how it came with fried potato as it gave my tastebuds a "break" and made it eating fried chicken bite after bite "less boring." We got the half-half order of sweet and sour and soya sauce flavour. *Extra $1 for half-half orders*
Affordable, simple, home-style feels for the food. Very casual place.
Dae Ji is a Korean cutlet house that serves up delicious Korean comfort food including fried cutlets, hamburg steaks, fried chicken, fried rice, and pork hocks. They have 6 locations in the Lower Mainland with the South Burnaby location being one of the newest ones.
One day to pay day and I was looking for something quick and easy for dinner. I have passed by a few of its other locations in and around Vancouver, five in total. Each with its trademark orange accents and mascot: a chubby orange piggy with more stout than face. Inside, the cafe is orange and white, with each table ready for seating, set with their double sided menus. The menu is divided between cutlets, specialty cutlets, hamburger steak, rice, pork hocs, chicken, and sides. It is a visual list to guide you. I tend to steer away from pork as if it is slightly overcooked its dryness reminds me of chewing saw dust, and if it is undercooked it isn’t any better. So I was looking to see their take on the protein and hopefully enjoy some now. However, as a visual diner, each photographed option didn’t look like much, but at least they tasted a lot better.
Dae-Ji Cutlet House is a Korean fusion chain that opened up in Burnaby in the former Cattle Cafe location. Interestingly, Cattle Cafe moved out of their former location only to relocate next door. I suppose the curved layout of the interior is a bit challenging because of the seating restriction. After having some really great cutlets at Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin in Hawaii, I was interested to see how Dae-Ji compared.
Dae-Ji Cutlet House - MetroTown (韓式炸豬排連鎖餐廳)
Dae-Ji Cutlet House是一間專門吃韓式炸豬排的連鎖餐廳,商標有一個很可愛的小豬圖案,其實店家賣的不只是炸豬排,而且還有炸雞排、炸魚排和漢堡牛扒呢!這家餐廳自2006年起在溫哥華市中心開設首間創業店至今已擴展到6家連鎖店,包括我今天光顧這間位於本拿比市剛開業不久的新店在內。(參閱2013年介紹 Dae Ji Pork Cutlet House的文章)
這間位於本拿比市的Dae-Ji Cutlet House新店所在地點前後曾經營過多家食肆,包括最後的台式鐵板餐廳“踢到鐵板”也擋不住關店的命運,希望接手新店能夠打破這個厄運。店家採用連鎖店的劃一餐牌,也是我最喜歡簡單易懂的圖文併茂設計,除了主打炸排類有魚、雞、豬三種外,還有漢堡排和一些韓式餐點,價位都在$10左右。如果想一次過吃到兩款不同炸排的話,就要選Combo Set Menu A或B,這套包括任選兩款炸排主菜外,還附送椰菜絲沙律、甜玉米粒、醬漬蘿蔔片、通心粉、白飯及味增湯或泡菜湯啊。
Dae-Jl Combo Set “A” $12.99
這套包括任選兩款炸排主菜外,還附送椰菜絲沙律、甜玉米粒、醬漬蘿蔔片、通心粉、白飯及味增湯或泡菜湯,雖然每款配菜都是一點點,但視覺上還蠻豐富的啊!
If I'm craving some good ol cutlet, this is the place. Brand new location. I don't see why people rate it low. Foods delicious, size is generous. If you truly want to be stuffed, get their omelet rice. Doesn't matter what you order it's yummy. Yum yum in my tum tum.
This is my first time eating at Dae-ji and I got to try their Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice ($8.50) and Cheese Shrimp Chili Pork Cutlet ($12.99)...
The Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice was a bit disappointing. It was served with some salad, danmuji (yellow pickled radish), and some very basic miso soup. The chicken cutlet was cut into long pieces, and covered in the curry which had some vegetables in it.
The Cheese Shrimp Chili Pork Cutlet was served with salad, danmuji, corn, macaroni salad, and rice. This was quite spicy since it had jalapeno peppers and spicy gravy sauce, but it was amazing. The combination of cheese, shrimp, jalapeno pieces, and spicy gravy sauce gave such a strong kick but made me want to continue eating it!
Overall, I would definitely recommend the Cheese Shrimp Chili Pork Cutlet if you can handle a bit of heat, but pass on the Chicken Cutlet Curry. I definitely plan on trying their fried chicken (I'm hoping it'll be comparable to the fried chicken I've had in Seoul).
Ben brought Arkensen to Metrotown for dinner to show him the Pokemon Go hot spot. It was unbelievable to see so many people at one spot playing the game. We walked across the hot spot to have dinner at Dae Ji Cutlet House. It is a relatively new restaurant. The menu is not too big and some pictures of food is always good.
