Reviews

This is Korean BBQ with a twist...YOU get to cook some of your meal at your table. This is an "all you can eat" restaurant but you have two hours to eat. You will be served sides like salad, kimchi, corn salad, etc. You can choose different meats and seafood and vegetables to barbecue at your table. Dessert is included, however, dr ... read more

What a great suprise. Everything was so fresh and had great flavor. Make a reservation.

First time at any Korean place, very welcoming staff who were patient with questions. Even during Covid they get a good amount of business, and I can see why. While you cook the meats (and some vegetarian options) yourself, the marinated meats are very good, as well as the sides. The rice alcohol being $14 surprised me initially, but ... read more

Amazing food! Great service! Very upbeat atmosphere and clean. Delicious side items and attention to detail. Will be returning soon and recommending to friends. A great restaurant to bring friends and family from out of town too!

We were happy to see that you had two prices and the food was not bad at all but the waitress could have been a little more attentive and bringing drinks and food.

WOW!! We had the BEST dining experience at Bawi. What a fun experience! The food was amazing! The drinks were good and the service was the BEST! Janeth, the waitress, was so attentive. She explained everything precisely and even told us the history or reasoning they did it. 5 stars is an understatement!!

Always amazing service here, but Jessica was quite simply the best I’ve ever had. I will be sure to be back even more often now that they have a standard vs premium menu.
Alex Howe via google.com - Jan 23, 2021
This is my first time coming to Bawi. I am very impressed and loved the whole experience. You have your table but you feel that it’s private and not a lot of noise. Sandra was really great at explaining the process and I will definitely come again. Such an amazing place and would definitely tell people to come here. Thank you so much ... read more

Oh how I wish this place had a second location in St. Louis! Great price for the quality of meats and variety. What I liked best is they had a vegetable platter seasoned perfectly for grilling. Our place in St. Louis does not offer that. We even got smaller meat portions by request so we could try more variety. The banchan was limite ... read more

I’ve been to more traditional Korean bbq places, this place didn’t have the same selection but overall I really liked everything we tried. The server Rebeca was super helpful in explaining everything and describing all the side dishes and sauces. Not a bad price for all you can eat, would definitely recommended.

Confused for a second, but we got the hangof it!
This was the first time we ate at a Korean bbq restaurant. I would have liked more of an introduction to the cuisine and the general process. Cleaning the grill would be a nice aspect if you are cooking a lot of food and with...varied options. Yet, the atmosphere is a bit of fun, and certainly not a "dive." The food is very good.

My wife is Korean and my In Korea, a clenched fist is called bawi (a rock), while a fully-stretched, open hand is called bo, or bojagi (a wrapping cloth), and a half-closed hand with only two fingers (typically the thumb and index finger, or index and middle fingers) sticking out is called gawi (scissors).

I must say I was very impressed to get an authentic Korean BBQ experience in Springfield. Bawi had it all right! We went for the all you can eat and ordered all kinds of meat and seafood.

If you have every watched Korean drama, then you'll really appreciate this place. It's all you can eat for two hours. It's a really good deal. They have several beef, pork, chicken, and seafood options. It's so fun to cook your own meat. The sides are delicious. The service has been good every time.
Katrina Rush via google.com - Dec 24, 2020

It was good. I have no complaints. I have had better Korean and the portion size was a bit small. We got it to go because we're still not eating in. I believe that eating there would be your best option for this restaurant.
Diane Smith via google.com - Dec 17, 2020
I LOVE Bawi! The food quality is great (the cooking quality varies, but usually it's good if I can keep my mom's hands off the tongs ;) ) and the service is always impeccable. I love how social the whole experience is too. Definitely consider Bawi if you're looking for a fun night out!

Had dinner here by recommendation by girlfriend. You have a few dishes out already. You pick a few meats and you get unlimited after that two dishes at a time.
