Dit Koreaanse restaurant was een gok voor ons. Maar het zat goed vol en er was een uitgebreide menukaart. Ik nam zelf Spicy Chicken en dat smaakte goed. De 3 andere gerechten waren ook goed. Het was ruim voldoende. Rond 20:00 waren wij klaar en stonden buiten mensen in een wachtrij om er ook te eten.

Really excellent food here. Korean Fried Chicken was crispy, juicy and sweet. Just like I remember from Seoul. Possibly go for another variation if you're not a sweet tooth. Very good and authentic tasting Bulgogi. Quick and polite service. Highly recommended.

It looks and feels like a informal Korean restaurant. We went on a Saturday evening expecting a queue but were pleasantly surprised to be shown to a table. Very polite and friendly staff. We ordered soju and rice punch for drinks. It was a good experience to try something new. For food we ordered, kfc, bibimbap, beef bbq, spicy chicken udon noodles and bbq chicken. Rice and kimchi on the side. The orders arrived very promptly. The food was good, especially the kfc and grilled/bbq beef. The kitchen was next to our table which added to the atmosphere.

We got a recommendation to go here by a friend at work. Home is near to St Albans, so we set aside some time to come down purely to eat here, and it was very much worth the trip. We ate Takoyaki which was a very interesting use of Octopus. Yank Nyeum Chicken and Pork BeBimBap which may be a bit of a tongue twister for english pronunciation, but fantastic taste and texture. So, in all, lunch for 2, with drinks came to £48.80 including a 10% service charge that we added. I have marked this as a must do for a business lunch / dinner destination in the future.

This may be the best food I've ever had. We regularly journey here for special occasions from over 1hr 30 minutes away. The food is so flavourful and well cooked and the lunch menu is very affordable. Customer service is questionable and very hostile from all but one young cheery guy. But we look past that for good food. Consider bring a stab vest due to location.

Maden var super lækker. Der var nok af den. Vi spiste for knap £28 pr person. Betjeningen var hurtig og venlig. Stedet var rent og pænt. Absolut et besøg værd. Man kan med fordel reservere bord, da der er travlt og ikke plads til mange

We did take out so I can’t speak to the dine in experience but the food was delicious. My daughters walked to pick up the food and said the restaurant was full of diners so we knew it must be good Korean food. They also carefully wrapped the cups of sauces in plastic wrap to protect against leaking and making a mess. We appreciated that.

Visited with friends after the theatre. Booked a table and glad we did as was very busy and plenty of people getting takeaway too. Staff were really friendly and food comes quickly. Excellent quality and fresh. Fried chicken, Bibimap and Bulgogi were all delicious and portion sizes are generous. Reasonable in price too for London. Altogether a great meal and would certainly recommend and return. Korean excellence.

Fantastic local Korean in Vauxhall with authentic food. Had been meaning to try out Daebak since before the pandemic, but hadn’t got round to it. Kennington Lane in Vauxhall is a pretty un prepossessing location. Dirty and gritty. But don’t be fooled. Excellent restaurant. Moderate prices. People clearly travel some distance and I’m not surprised. Fresh and tasty. Korean Fried Chicken is a speciality. You may have to queue outside.

I’m missing this place already. My Kimchi Jjigae arrived to the table boiling hot (even took 20 mins to just cool down!) and my butter fried chicken was hot and crispy too. Staff are very attentive and it was a particularly hot day so they moved around their mobile fan/aircon unit to make it fair for everyone in there. Their portion sizes are great and the menu selection is wide and varied. I look forward to coming back here again when I’m in/near Vauxhall!
