NADEFO

Wow. There is a reason the wait time is close to 45 min.

The meat here by itself is marinated so well and is absolutely incredible.

Appetizer: We started with soju (sweet liquor to cool us down and wet our appetite) and a Sapporo beer for everyone (to balance out the heavy meats). We should have ordered the dumplings.

Dinner: costillia de res en marinada en salsa de soya, punta de res bañada en salsa de ajonjolí, 6 piezas de camarón (we 4 were so full no one even tried them ????), kalbijjim (sopa - super rich and sweet plus extreme spice, thick broth -everyone likes it but me), budaejigae (sopa - delicious light ramen like broth with plenty of meat to share - I liked this soup more than everyone).

Dessert: helado de lichee - super refreshing to share with others after a heavy dinner like this

This was easily enough food for 6 people.

Many Koreans dine here.

We spent $3,300 MEX - not a peso waisted

Decided to visit this place on a day off in the evening, found a free place quickly and decided to order a 3xBuffet for three
The level of the waiter is amazing with his indifference and attitude.
The level of English is minimal and the use of an interpreter is also a consequence twice he mixed up the order and could not bring a glass of water.
But the food luckily was delicious.
My advice is to sit on the veranda or it will be hot.

Good Korean restaurant. Juicy meat dumplings, great soup, bibimbap was under salted and lacking some sauce to it other than just spicy paste

Visted this place and ordered beef ribs to bbq myself. Suprise, they cooked and bought this cut up pieces of meat. For sure it did not look like beef ribs. Look at the picture. Do you think it is beef ribs or ?. These so called Ribs looked too small to be from a cow/bull.
Your guess is good as mine.
Service of waiter was very poor.

We have eaten at Nadefo over nine times since November 2021. At first, panchan was legit and since gone downhill in quality and variety, kimchi is super salty now, the serving size of rib eye got smaller, and service went from ok to horrible with high turnover. Twice we went and they were doing construction during dinner time - loudly knocking out the wall next door and metal work near the kitchen.

Tonight the waiter first sat us at a table with dirty seats, then we waited while the waiter came to our table - without saying another - went to another table and took their order, came back and took our order, went to the counter - came back and asked us twice what we wanted. He came back a third time (mind you, still no banchan or drinks served) and told us we had to order more than one serving in order to have coals and bbq at our table. If that is the new policy — TELL your customers before they sit around for 20 minutes wasting their time. Print your requirement on the menu or hang a sign. The waiter also had his mask hanging below his nose.

Every time we have visited, the grumpy owner/아저씨 just sits in the outdoor area, drinking with friends. Will never return. Treating any customer, especially local return customers like this is not a way to run a business. I don’t expect special treatment as a Korean, but this is ridiculous. Walk two doors down and eat at Mapo Galbi.

Update June 5, 2020:
Still amazing! Still delicious! The LA Kalbi here is still my favorite. This time we ate outside in the patio area with no problems. The waiters were very attentive and they even replaced the charcoals when the flame started to die out.

Original:
The buffet was quite enjoyable. There were mainly 3 options available: pork belly, steak tips, and LA kalbi. I definitely preferred the kalbi as the flavors were definitely on point. The prices aren’t cheap, especially for Mexico, but you can easily eat your money’s worth if you come with an appetite. The ambiance is alright with pretty of indoor and outdoor seating. They’ve definitely got the ventilation system down, sucking up that smoke and reducing the smell on your clothes. I wish they had bulgogi, but for now this will remain one of my favorite Korean joints in Mexico City.
