Bawi Korean Bbq

First of all, Jon and Bailey were amazing! We were a party of six and none of us had ever been to Bawi. Our inquisitive and hungry minds had lots of questions and these two were so patient to answer them all. A few people in my group kept getting confused and I'm embarrassed to say irritable simply because they were equally confused and hungry. Neither Jon nor Bailey let the abrupt grumpiness phase them and continued to provide above and beyond service. They more than anything else made this a memorable experience. I can't praise them enough because as we all know, our current covid world has produced many challenges including staffing shortages. People still want to dine out but not as many people want to work. These two are a treasure to Bawi. Seriously, if you can request to sit in Bailey's section, do it. She is incredibly kind, patient, helpful, and even humorous. Jon is excellency pleasant, patient, and just as helpful. Everyone in my group is a meat eater except me, I'm a vegetarian. Since everyone has to order the same thing, we all ordered the premium dinner. Bawi is accommodating to vegetarians and only charged mine as a standard dinner instead of a premium priced meal. Moreover, since (in the midst of all our questions) they forgot to tell us large amounts of leftovers are charged an additional $10, they didn't even add on the upcharge. The pancakes and the spring rolls were especially delicious, I got to try a new beer, and to our surprise dinner was topped off with an adorable dessert of vanilla ice cream, a half moon pie, and chocolate syrup! I ate so quickly I forgot to take pictures but here are a few I remembered to squeeze in at the end. This was such a fun experience! If you're looking for something out of the ordinary but don't want to sacrifice quality of taste, this is the place to go.

I went to this place the weekend before last and they failed to open the doors at open and after about 15 minutes of standing in front of the doors we left. The next day we tried again and they were open and the experience was good. The had a tea dispenser in front that was cheap (a quarter) which allowed you to try some great tea. We sat after waiting maybe 10 minutes. The service was polite and knowledgeable. We got the standard all you can eat which was $20/person. I think kids under a certain age eat free (ours didn't eat anything sooo I am glad they have that option). Everything was good.

This was mine and my family's first experience eating here, and I was very disappointed. We definitely should have done more research beforehand, but overall the experience wasn't enjoyable. We paid $23 per person and then still had to cook our own food. I understand that cooking it for yourself is a part of the experience and it's all you can eat, but I still think $23 is a little steep. If I wanted to have an expensive all you can eat dinner I could go to Re Rico's and have a lot more options(meats, smoked pineapple, amazing salad bar etc). The service wasn't very good, but we also had a young man who was training serve us, so I can't put too much blame on him.

This is easily one of the best restaurants in Springfield, MO. Incredible service, amazing food, seasoned and marinated to perfection. The decor is gorgeous and intimate. It is definitely the kind of place to bring friends and family to sit and eat, talk and have a good time with conversation. Helpful staff that actually have a good knowledge of how to assist and contribute to the experience. It's worth every cent and your time will be well spent as well.

This was my first time trying Korean cuisine. Our little trio tried the all you can eat option with short ribs, pork belly, herb chicken, and calamari along with some veggies and sides. It was really good! I had great guidance to be able to avoid my allergies courtesy of our fabulous server, Cedar. She was attentive and very helpful. Can't wait to come back and try more.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant! The food is great and the service is incredible! The staff is very accommodating and helpful to first time visitors. They happily provide tips and advice on how to order and how to fix the food. Unless you're comfortable cooking food, it feels intimidating at first having to cook your own food but worry not, they make it very simple and easy to do! It's a very unique feature and allows the creation of wonderful experiences and memories. The restaurant is very clean and well kept. It would make an excellent place for date night! Overall I really enjoyed my experience and I will certainly be coming back.
