San Antonio Welcomes Dae Gee Korean BBQ to the Lone Star State

San Antonio is bubbling with excitement as a popular dining spot from Denver has just opened its first Texas location! Dae Gee Korean BBQ, the franchise that has captured the hearts and appetites of many, has made the move to the vibrant foodie scene in San Antonio.

Setting Up Shop in Blanco Pointe

Located in the bustling Blanco Pointe Shopping Center at 19186 Blanco Rd #103, this new eatery brings a delightful twist to the local culinary world. For those unfamiliar, Dae Gee made waves back in 2015 when it was featured on the hit show hosted by Guy Fieri, a show that celebrates thrilling dining experiences.

A Family Affair

Dae Gee isn’t just another franchise; it’s a family-owned venture! The restaurant is run by the dynamic pair of Anahi Resendez and her husband Tommy Nguyen, along with her parents Ovidio and Ana Resendez. Bringing this exciting concept to San Antonio was a no-brainer for them, especially given the city’s rising status as a must-visit culinary destination.

Why Dae Gee Stands Out

When searching for the right franchise to introduce to San Antonio, Anahi and Tommy found themselves gravitating towards Dae Gee. There’s something truly special about this restaurant that sets it apart from others. Perhaps it’s the unique dining experience where guests can enjoy the thrill of cooking their own meals right at their tables!

This interactive atmosphere is not only fun but also invites diners to savor Korean barbecued flavors like Galbee (beef short ribs), Sam Gyeob Sal (sliced pork belly), and Dak Bulgogi (chicken). And let’s not forget the extensive variety of sides that accompanies these mouth-watering meats, including rice, fresh slaw, spicy sauce, kimchee, broccoli, radish, and fish cakes!

Health Benefits That Are Hard to Beat

On top of being delicious, Korean cuisine is also known for its health benefits, being heavily comprised of proteins, vegetables, grains, and a medley of spices. For health-conscious diners looking for a satisfying meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor, Dae Gee is definitely worth a visit.

Looking Toward the Future

Dae Gee is ready to serve not just with their exceptional food but also with a commitment to expanding their presence. Currently, they have seven locations and are eyeing an exciting growth path with plans to open five to ten additional locations within the next year! San Antonio is just the beginning of their Texan adventure.

If you’re in San Antonio, come on down to Dae Gee Korean BBQ—the perfect place for a fun and flavorful dining experience. They are open every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and extend their hours to 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, making it easy to fit a visit into your weekend plans.
