Dae Ji Cutlet House - Burnaby

I used to visit Dae-Ji in Coquitlam in the past (and I have also been to their location across from Metrotown a few times in 2016). Like many others, I have become lazier over the years and decided to order takeout in early October. I chose the hamburg steak and pork cutlet with curry sauce. Fortunately, the food traveled well and the pork cutlet remained crispy with a flavorful curry sauce. Both dishes were served with shredded cabbage, potato salad, macaroni salad, and miso soup. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed their thick and juicy hamburg steaks with demi-glace sauce.

The lunch set is definitely a good deal. $20 for a fancy set! No wonder it is limited everyday and only available on weekdays. Had the same set before and everytime the side dishes are a little different. All the dishes are so delicious, especially the Katsu. Large portion and could not finish it.

Food is great, they have everything like a lunch or dinner set

What happened to Daiji? The menu has totally changed and portions got way smaller for a lot more money… it’s just not the same anymore did the ownership change or something? ? on top of this the rice wasn’t even cooked properly seriously undercooked and hard… very disappointing Id give the food a zero stars if it was an option.

I usually don't leave restaurant reviews, but the food...its so bad. People need to know and maybe the restaurant will make improvements.Food used to be average, now I wish the cooks try their own food. They will know exactly what I'm talking about. Everything watered down...literally.You can taste the water seperately in the kimchi Tofu soup. How is this even possible?? The sauce also watered down. Small portions for cutlet? Well things are different now, but for the price and quality? yes it's still too small.
