Our founder, Joe Kim, wants him customers to come and “Pig Out” have the meal of their life while enjoying good company. It's a completely interactive experience shared with friends and family - In 2019, Yelp reported that relative demand for the cuisine grew 140 percent in Phoenix, 80 percent in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Boston, 70 percent in New York, and 50 percent in Atlanta, San Jose, Chicago, and Houston. American-based chains have cashed in on the craze
Dae Gee has been featured on Food Network numerous times and our Founder is a fan favorite on Guy Fieri’s “Drivers, Dive-Ins, and Dives.” A commissary kitchen eliminates the majority of food prep for our franchisees, which allows them to run a lean and mean machine that can be successful for years to come! The Commissary kitchen allows consistency in product. Zees don’t have to worry about mixing sauces, marinades, or side dishes. Everything the owner needs is created at our central kitchen and shipped to the owner. This eliminates error and food waste for owners. Korean Culture is growing in the in US and Americans are becoming emphatic about it. Come try our food, you’ll want to come back time and time again! It brings a new perspective to dining. Our founder, Joe Kim, wants his customers to come and “Pig Out” have the meal of their life while enjoying good company. It is a completely interactive experience shared with friends and family. People are at the center of everything we do, from our customers and our staff members to our vendors and business partners. We always treat them with respect and dignity. A niche spot in a fast-growing sector of American cuisine and culture! Korean dinner is all about communal living. When sharing sides and expertly seasoned beef off the grill, you tend to rub elbows with your neighbor. Working for the health of your community plays a key role in attracting new collaborators, new customers, building brand loyalty, and ultimately changing the world. We want you to come Pig Out with us! Take an adventure, get a little dirty, dance like nobody’s watching, eat like nobody’s watching, eat while dancing like nobody’s watching.
