Millennium Dae Dong

We had a wonderful dol (Korean 1^st birthday party) here. We knew our gathering would be small and intimate (35 people at max) and we wanted something 99% done for us with good food, good service and good ambiance. They met all the criteria. The service was stellar from start to finish — including the food and tending to the important family members. Our son had a fantastic birthday party here. The whole package was especially helpful for busy working parents — I would literally just answer a couple of emails or phone calls regarding the venue details, color theme, slide show stuff, and then when we got there, everything was set up! It’s helpful to know Korean but they are also good with English, as I preferred to communicate in English. I highly recommend the venue for parents who are looking to throw their dol.

Best place for marrying couples and babies’ birthday party! They accustom food selections based on your preferences and it is so flexible and convenient! Services are so excellent and we didn’t need to worry about anything due to their high end professional servings. I was happy more than enough that my guests were satisfied with atmosphere, food, and serving! !

3.5 stars
This place is a venue used for weddings, reunion, etc. I thought this was an appropriate rating for this venue. I recently got to visit this place for my wife’s college reunion.
My first issue was even before getting to the banquet. There was this reunion and another wedding going on at the same time, and the parking space was way smaller than what they can contain, so I had to park on a street 2 blocks down (after driving for 10 minutes). Also the driveway to the building and the adjacent street are so narrow that if you get stuck you will spend some good amount of time.
hall was very large, and it was adequately decorated for the meeting, and Hors d’œuvre composed of finger food, sushi/​sashimi platter, dumplings, shrimp cocktail, etc were pretty good. I thought salad with leafs and nuts with light dressing was well prepared, and the mushroom cream soup was very good. The steak was grilled in charcoal, which was pretty surprising, but it didn’t really have any synergy on the experience other than the recognition of it. I personally thought there was too much rosemary and thyme (dried) to the steak, and it was cooked a bit too much (ok, this I understand because the majority people on that meeting was Koreans of 40−60s, who usually cook the meat at least medium well). Dessert cakes were ok, and the fruit was very fresh.
Overall, I thought it was not a bad experience. I guess it should depend on how much the place was for the night, but i thought they could run a decent banquet.

I especially love the white décor of the Diamond hall! Staffs were very kindly professional and the food was great

Nice wedding hall in the heart of «Korean town» on Northern Blvd. Surprised to see such a westernized catering hall. The decorations inside were nice, was able to enjoy many korean dishes as well as some sushi and sashimi. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would consider it for an event in the future.

Pleasantly surprised to find an American style decorated catering hall behind the super Korean name and it’s location. Came here for a wedding over the weekend and the interior designs have a great western influence. The buffet included a vast variety of korean pickled/​fermented vegetables, fried rice, jap chae, lobster on the half shell, raw oysters, sashimi and sushi rolls. They have one huge ballroom and a smaller, more quaint room-​good for different party sizes. If I ever need an event space, I’d definitely consider DaeDong.

Do NOT have your wedding here. The only reason I had my wedding at Daedong is because my parents threatened to disown me if I had it at one of the venues I had liked. Daedong is located inside a complex in Flushing, which is next to a car wash.
My guests were impressed by the cocktail hour buffet and it’s nice that they include flower arrangements and 3 hours of happy hour. However, that’s where the good ends. The venue was late in setting up for the ceremony, so I had to wait in the Emerald room for 15 minutes where they also sent the arriving guests, so that everyone saw me sitting. The staff messed up the ceremony music despite my sister explaining to them beforehand, having written instructions and having the files named 1, 2 and 3. The chairs and carpet and filthy. One of my guests spilled soup on the floor, and a staff member took my guest’s napkin to wipe up the mess, but never came back to finish cleaning or replace the napkin. Several people did not receive their meals even though I paid for them (found out after the wedding). For some reason, rubbery steak was the only option for some tables, while other tables only had the option of flounder, despite supposedly having the option of 3 main courses. Communication during the planning process was painful because I’m not Korean and everything had to be translated by the coordinator to the manager.
Overall, a terrible experience.

We had our son’s first birthday Dol in the Emerald Ballroom a little over a two months ago.
When we decided on having a Korean first birthday party for our son. I found there was only two places I can think of; Kum Kangsan Party Room and DaeDong Manor. We decided on Daedong because it was basically the only establishment to offer in the dol party area the decorations, cake, food, and space all in one price which was reasonable. Management was accommodating to what we wanted and the staff was helpful. And the food was better than I thought originally. At the end of our party, the staff packaged the leftover foods to take home and packaged our personal decorations. We were also given a gift from DaeDong, a poster board of our son.
Our whole experience from start to finish was a good experience despite the room being warm. I saw later, the staff opened the roof door to get air in the room. None the less, despite the one thing, nothing is perfect as we all expect it to be. We would gladly hold another party with DaeDong if the occasion arises.

Came here for a wedding this past Saturday and I thought it was great. It was in the grand ballroom for ~200 guests and it was really nice. The ceremony room was also really nice. The food was only ok, not the best I’ve had but not bad either. The service was great though. Waiters made sure our waters were always filled.

We had our wedding reception here and we were not disappointed. This place offered the best price for the food, open bar in the area. They even took care of the center pieces and the floral decoration, wedding cake and a ice sculpture for us all included in the price! It does not get any better than that. They also gave us a free banner/​poster of a picture of our choice.
I was a bit worry what the flowers and decoration would look like since it was all included in the price. But the day of the wedding, I was amazed at what a great job they did. We picked a pink scene for our wedding and had it at the Diamond hall and it was gorgeous. All the chairs had pink ribbons on them and all the table cloths were pink as well. And the flower decorations and the center pieces were so beautiful and went with the pink scene very well. And the ice sculpture was gorgeous as well. And so was the cake.
My father forgot the boutonnieres that we ordered from the floral shop, we were panicking about what to do but thank God that Daedong had boutonnieres for us! Whew! Also I forgot to add that they provided us two guests books on the house. One for the bride and one for the groom. How nice!
Now moving on to the food. Food was amazing. We opted for the buffet style. And I’m not comparing the food to Michelin star restaurants. I’m comparing it to buffet style food. Tons of different types of seafood, meats and veggies. Everything was delicious and the guests loved the food. And there were tons of left overs and we were able to take them home.
Service was decent. Not the best service but not bad. Definitely room for improvement. There was no bartender at the bar. The staff comes when people are waiting at the bar and leaves when there’s no one. So some guest had to wait quiet a while to get their drunks. So maybe have a designated bartender would be nice.
We also had 25 more guests than we anticipated. And Dae dong took care of everything very well.
Overall, for the price you pay, the food and the venue you get, I highly highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Daedong!

I recently attended a wedding at DaeDong. Food wasn’t that good and service was slow. Their filet mignon was came after other guest who ordered salmon have already finished their full plane for over 15 min, and when the filet mignon came, it waa overcooked (while I specifically asked for medium rare). The rest of the food is generally salty and they are also slow in refilling your water.
This place is also NOT breastfeeding friendly. I asked if I can use an empty bridal room for 20 min and was told no. I end up feeding my baby at the handicap bathroom stall ! So for those of you who are planning to have an event there… STAY AWAY !
The venue does look nice and clean, but not enough to make up with the poor service and mediocre food available.

I was recently married at Daedong manor, and I can’t rave enough about the place. From the ceremony to the reception everything was absolutely amazing. All the guests enjoyed the ceremony, the music, the food, etc. Iryne, the manager was such a pleasure to work with. She was so responsive to our requests and worked together to accommodate our budget. Iryne and her team went above and beyond to make our day perfect as she assured us from day one. The food was amazing, especially the cocktail hour. My cake was done by their in-​house baker was both so beautiful and delicious. The florist design was also arranged by Daedong, it came out absolutely beautiful. The whole place looked so nice and the big day progressed so smoothly. We couldn’t have ask for more!

Came here for a Korean first birthday party. It was so much fun! This place is lovely and the decorations were so classy. One would not expect it from the outside. Bartenders need some lessons– drinks were two sips and done and the Bloody Mary was vodka and tabasco, but I did ask for it spicy! The food selection was unreal. If I was rating on quantity and variety this would be a 4 – 5 star review. Unfortunately most of it looked better than it tasted. The jellyfish salad was great as were the short ribs and fresh kimchi. The sushi was decent. The pancakes were disappointing — soggy and kind of tasteless. The razor clams were quite tasty as was the octopus. However the day was so enchanting that the shortfalls were nominal. I would love to come here again to see how different events are run.

I’ve come here for numerous weddings and baby birthday celebrations. Today we came together for a wedding, and it really hasn’t much changed since they’ve opened. Mostly I think it’s due to convenience for most «Asian» events. The food is mediocre for the most part regardless of what tier you order, but the service is pretty much all inclusive so it’s nice to have others worry about the mundane details that come with large events.

There are number of things that catches my eyes while I was attending wedding last night.
1. Slow service. If wedding start 7. It should start 7.
2. Food is mediocre at best except main entrée was terrible. And Buffett serving dish!!! Why they are using such a small plate? What are they implying?
We were celebrating wedding and they served sparkling cider over champagne. Unbelievable! Cheapest champagne cost as much as sparkling cider for crying out loud.
3. This is most annoyed part of entire evening. Some catering office staffs came in and EAT among guests. WTF?
I know food has been paid for. And many food will be not be eaten. If these event staffs are eating back stage or something, it can be tolerable.
But why staffs eating in my table like they are guests? This is not just professional about it.
That’s way too messed up things to do with someone else’s expense.
This kind of unprofessionalism annoyed the shit out of me!
I am even overheard few staffs are talking which food they are going to take later. WTF?
Serving staffs are doing their best but despite of more than 6 – 7 serving staffs, 4 chefs staffs, and 3 – 4 event staffs, whole event going very slow.
Main entrée should come first but Buffett started first. Many main entrée dish haven not eaten because many guests already consumed buffet food for their dinner.
Main dish were pretty terrible also. What a waste of food.
4. DJ– OMG I am not going there.
Overall, if I do need any catering event, I would avoid this place in Flushing. Their interior may be beautiful but catering business is all about professional service. They are clearly lack of it.
Avoid at all cost. I would not spend dime on this place for my special occasion.

Pretty beautiful Korean catering hall in Flushing on Northern Blvd. We attended a wedding here recently and I was quite surprised how elegant it actually looked from the inside. This is no 5 star type of place but for what it is in Flushing, I have to give them some credit for their interior decorations. The lighting and the drapery on their curtains were fabulous.
Before you read any further, I am reviewing Millennium Dae Dong and their services. NOT the wedding, meaning not the bride and groom, their family, the dress, the guest, the Reverend, the sermon, the traditional ceremony, etc.
Open Bar — Pretty awesome. Had a nice variety of scotch whiskey and wasn’t cheap on the pour either. As for the cocktails, the bartender wasn’t very good at making them. The cups were disposable and the bartender failed to fill the cocktail to the brim of the small cup. There was too much ice, literally 2 – 3 sips and the cocktail was finished.
Food — Massive amount of food but was it any good? Not really. They served good octopus and raw oysters. That was the highlight of the buffet line. They also served lobsters but the lobsters were overcooked. The meat was no longer tender. It was dry and tough. They also had freshly made sushi on the spot which was pretty good.
The Bad — Almost all of the meats. Steak was bland and dry. All of the other korean meats were mediocre at best. The sweet and sour dishes had very little meat, every bite was just deep fried batter/​flour covered in the sauce. Shrimp tempura was okay but the shrimp was very small and flattened. 10% shrimp, 90% deep fried batter. The eel was nice and meaty but the sauce they used was way too sweet. There were a lot of other things I didn’t enjoy. We saw many other guest with unfinished plates of food on their tables.
Service — Not good, but not that bad either. They took awhile to remove the dirty plates from tables and also did not bring us a 2^nd bottle of wine. There was a lack of communication between the staff and the host, and DJ of the wedding. We weren’t sure what was going on that night. One second, they’ll do one thing, next second you’ll see a million people rushing to the buffet line before the bride and groom came out.
Ambiance — The room that we were in was nicely decorated. The dance floor was nice and spacious and the stage was large. The room was very well lit during the entire ceremony and the party lights were awesome.
Verdict — Despite the lousy food, I was quite impressed with the other things I saw. Millennium Dae Dong felt roomy and spacious. There was no crowding and cramping. They have a parking lot w/​valet. Their facilities were as clean as a whistle. But there’s another minor issue that should be addressed, and Joseph C. said it best. They are a Korean company serving primarily Korean food to a Korean crowd. I can’t imagine a Chinese or any other ethnicity group trying to throw a party in this joint. With that said, it was still a fun night and I wouldn’t mind coming back here for another event.

There is always reason for people to end up with Daedong Manor for their the most specila event wedding. My friend’s fiancé completely fell in love with the place based on the photos. Recently renovated interior such as dark wood panels, high cilling, moving lights, chandelier, open bar, uplighting, carpet, and flower decorations were combined so well to be the best place to get the ceremony at. Its was a gorgeous space and definitely newer than many of the others me and my friend visited. In addition, they can accomodate the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
First, my best friend couple had the ceremony, then while all the guests moved to the room right next from the ballroom (where they had a ceremony), the servers changed set up from the ceremony to the reception set up (tables and chairs and flower decorations). It was just so gorgeous and so quick. Within 30minuates, everything was reset up and redy for the reception.
The menu sounded tasty and wedding cake and open bar was included. There was free valet so we did not have to worry about the parking as well. I have visited several events at Daedong, and so I had chances to eat their buffet and sit down dishes.
I loved both styles at the same. Buffet wedding was for one of my Chinese friend’s wedding, and so they added few Chinese dishes instead of some Korean dishes.
Chef and the couple had a meeting and even created for their own wedding menu.
For sit down dish, I had half lobster and steak, which were fantastic! The servise was nice and they were happy to serve the guests all night long.
I would totally recommend the Daedong Manoe to weddings for up to 500 guests.
They have everything in package so it is very easy and simple way to prepare the wedding.
Getting ready for flowers, photographer, food, music/​MC, dresses and everything else seperate make you spend more money and time, and at the end you will regret not choosing Daedong Manor. Most of people around me had wedding or some other events at Daedong at least once in their life times, and they were all satisfied. I can not wait untill my last best friend to get marry at Daedong in this coming june!

Came here for a wedding recently. It was well organized. The only complaint was the dinners werent well portioned even though it looked tasty/​was tasty. The cocktail hour had a good variety of food but was a little too short to really enjoy all the food with the masses of people so needless to say there were lots of leftovers.

This place is like a hidden gem in Flushing. I would of never imagined how nicely decorated this place is. I was here for a 1 year old birthday party and was amazed at how nice, clean, the amount of space we had, especially with all the young ones running around.
The staff was very attentive to the hosts and all the patrons there with the food, clearing out the dishes and drinks.
Great place if you’re looking to throw a special event occasion.

Been here twice; both occasions were for friend’s child’s 1^st birthday parties («dol» in Korean). The place has, I believe, three banquet rooms of varying sizes. Both times, I was in the upstairs one (for smaller parties — seating for about 75 people or so). Food is done buffet-​style; don’t load up on the early plates! The better stuff (like short ribs and sashimi) are always at the end. Servers clear plates in a timely manner.
Here’s the quirky (or interpret however you’d like) part. So we had the room reserved from 2pm — 5pm on a Saturday afternoon. We’re wrapping up around 4:30 or so, when the valets bring up our car keys, a not-​so-​subtle sign to leave. Granted, these places book multiple parties for each room every weekend. But I thought that was a little excessive.
Overall though, it’s a good place to have a party/​banquet/​event.
