Dah-mee - Natick

Anyone rating this less than 5 stars has no idea what their talking about. This place is SO good and they give you so much food for such good prices. I love this spot. It's definitely more of a casual restaurant but a great spot for a date night. Everyone is so nice! I don't understand the rating at all.

I 've worked in the restaurant industry for years, so I hate to leave bad reviews, but I must say I was so disappointed by the food we received from Dah Mee last weekend. I 've been to Dah Mee before, and was excited to get it for takeout, but unfortunately received reheated, dry, and skimpy portions for the almost $90 that I spent. Additionally, when I picked up the order, there was barely anyone in the restaurant, yet the hostess told me to grab whatever bag was mine and turned the screen and said pay then just walked away. Japchae noodles are one of my favorite dishes, but they were flavorless and the portion was barely enough for one person (pictured below). The chicken in the noodles was clearly reheated, dry, and difficult to eat. There was no sauce or seasoning on the noodles, so it was eating plain glass noodles with dry chicken, and flavorless vegetables. The sushi (yellowtail spicy tuna roll pictured below) had scraps of tuna and looked like it was haphazardly thrown together. It was chewy and didn 't taste fresh at all. The volcano roll (not pictured) was overly torched on top and had a burnt taste. The pad Thai with shrimp was decent, but barely had any shrimp in it. Unfortunately, I didn 't realize the situation until I returned home and found that the one container of soy sauce they provided had leaked all over the bag and the containers. I 'm really disappointed in this poor service and disappointing food and would not recommend Dah Mee to anyone looking for a delicious, relaxing, local meal.

I met a friend here on a Tuesday night. There were other people eating and we was seated pretty promptly. We were looking forward to catching up as well as our meal. We ordered and our food came out very quickly. I had the pad Thai which was good and my friend had a curry which she said was good. The menu had a variety of Korean, Thai and Japanese and the kids menu looked pretty good. The problem came around 7:15 when our waiter seemed to be watching us and wanting us to hurry up and be done. We had been sat around 6:20 and on the website it says they are open until 8:30pm. By 7:30 there may have been one other group and a take out order here and there, and I understand it might have been a slower night, but we didn't appreciate being rushed out. At 8:00pm they asked us to pay and they had jackets on and were yelling closing at 8:12pm. At 8:15 we were outside the restaurant and they had one take out order come in, and then turned off all the lights by 8:17pm. It was not a relaxing dinner and I don't like feeling rushed out when I am trying to enjoy a night out. If I were to come back it would not be on the earlier side or maybe a weekend. The service soured the experience for sure.

I've been coming to Dah Mee for years and will continue to do so indefinitely. Whether it's my favorite Ok Dol Bi Bim Bab or an entirely new dish to me, Vegetarian Jab Chae, I'm excited by the food, the wonderful Kitty whose warmth and care radiate through her service each time and, of course, Mrs. Soon Lee. Her restaurant has been my first choice many times when I made dinner plans in Natick Center.

$12 for 4 crab rangoons is absolutely insane. They don't s state anywhere on the menu how many come in the portion. Beware!
