Daebak in Lambeth

Delicious, authentic Korean food. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. Quite an extensive menu. I'll definitely go back!

Very fast and good table service. The food came out very quickly. But it was the worst Korean food I've ever had. I ordered two bibimbaps and both had a heavy sense of patchwork. The seafood pancake was also very ordinary. The fried chicken was good

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.

I have been to Korea and the food in this one just horrible and bad the boss and the customer service was just plain rude.

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.

Genuine Korean food, made with fresh ingredients. Service is fast and kind. A little corner of Korea in the heart of south London. Pleasant surprise!

Food was ok experience ruined by rude workers. Yes it is Friday night but you can’t just come up to us telling us to leave because there are people waiting outside, hadn’t even given us the dessert menu yet. Food might be nice but deffo not Korean service just rude - spend your money elsewhere guys

Great chicken well worth the visit. Price very reasonable too - booking recommended. 2nd visit and would go again

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.

Une belle découverte. Une très bonne adresse où il faut réserver sous peine de faire la queue pendant 45 minutes. Le fait que l'établissement soit fréquenté par nombre d'asiatiques confirme une cuisine savoureuse ! Le personnel est charmant. Juste 2 erreurs sur la note ! À checker :)

We tried this place on a whim - it was great! Full of Korean people so the sign we needed that this place would serve delicious authentic food. The fried chicken and bulgogi beef were delicious. Friendly service.

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!

I needed a quick dinner when solo travelling for work. This place had a great atmosphere and I didn't feel awkward at all for reading my book and eating alone. The food was also great. I had tofu ramen and it was very much a generous portion and tasted delicious.

In particular, the asian male worker with glasses who wears a hat - VERY rude, gave VERY bad customer service... very unfriendly and he ruined my experience at the place.

My wife and I have become addicted to South Korean TV series which put a lot of the western series to shame. There is always a lot of eating in these series. So we wanted to try some Korean food and this restaurant was one...

Such a neighbourhood gem! I used to work in Vauxhall for several years and this is the best recommendation I’ve ever received from my colleague. I could otherwise have walked down Kennington Lane millions of times and never noticed it! I took two friends here...

Was wandering down Kennington Lane hungry and stumbled across this place. Really nice mix of food on the menu, pumpkin croquettes were yum. A few things were sold out but the waitress recommended some great substitutes. Great service and really enjoyed the food and really...

Did not love the food. The best dish we had were the bulgogi dumplings. They were great. The KFC was wet and covered of sticky sweet chilli sauce. No the dry crispy fried chicken you expect from a Korean place. My seafood soup was mostly...

Best Korean food we've had in the UK. The staff were lovely too and the place was clean and fresh. Great value 10/10.

The Korean fried chicken is the best I've had. Soy garlic is my fave! Everything else is delicious too, I love coming to the restaurant as it's a very chill vibe with delicious Korean beers. It also travels really well on Deliveroo! always a pleasure

As suggested by my best friends, I went there once ... after this experience, I went to another twice. I ordered delivery many times because I am lazy, but the service there is very good. Waiters are focus and care. I tried Edamame Spring Roll,...

It was my first time trying korean food and it was amazing.the black bean noodles and korean fried chicken were delicious and really satiating, the Soju was great and the ice cream was refreshing. The staff was really nice and the place was cozy and...

Ordered from them through Deliveroo given COVID lockdown. Got the Korean Fried Chicken, seafood pancake, and coleslaw. All were excellent and very tasty. I was very impressed with their attention to detail, all the containers were well wrapped and presented. I'll definitely order from them...

When your first thought on leaving the restaurant is that your favourite bit was the glacier mint that came with the bill you know you've had issues... I jest....well at least I think I jest? I think we just made two mistakes, ordering too much...

Back after eight (8) months of Covid enforced hiatus. Still As good as I remembered, though the place so small it does not easily help itself to “social distancing”. Recommend seafood tofu japchae, not as spicy as I remember. (must be my Corona induced loss...

ビビンバ、海鮮チジミ、とり唐揚げを頼みました。ビビンバ、唐揚げはバリエーションがあり、選ぶのに時間がかかってしまいました...

I had been here with friends once and decided to take the team for dinner, it was a great experience: super quick service, great atmosphere and delicious generous portions of great food.

it offers really delicious, good value lunch but it is often really busy. Enjoyable KOrean food in a good location if you work around Vauxhall. Much cheaper than if you go further into central and in my opinion, just as good.

Three of us went here. Did not realise we ordered so much, there was barely enough space on the table. Kimchi pancake was divine and a meal in itself. Jjajamieng was tasty and more than enough, I could not finish it. Friends had set meals...

It's kinda hard to find a restaurant of authentic Korean food in London. The place is small but full of people when mealtime. I would recommend fried chicken and soups. If you are around Vauxhall, then you need to definitely go check it.

Visited this gem several times now and brought different friends, no one has ever left disappointed!! By now I have tried half the menu and everything has been well cooked with amazing flavours and large portions (which is needed as the food is so “more-ish”...

If you close at 10pm, don't say that you close at 11pm. It takes you an hour to break down your kitchen? That's misleading and ridiculous.

My wife and I stopped in Daebak after getting off the Underground in Vauxhall and were so happy to find them open. We had the Soy Chicken and Bulgogi Chicken plus rice and we were more than satisfied with our dishes.

Enjoyed our visit there: although the staff does't seem to understand us everytime but service was quite good. Every dish we had was delicious – great pancake! The menu has good varieties and well thought. Prices were reasonable, and the experience was lovely. Good location...

Whilst visiting a nearby attraction I spotted this place, and decided to return for lunch. The meal was really enjoyable and tasty, and the seating was comfy - a nice breeze was provided by the open front too. The food itself was superb, and I...

Being located just around the corner from our offices this is a regular lunch favourite for us. Having tried the udon noodles and bibimap (my particular favourite). This time I went for the tofu curry bento box. It was ok but next time I’m back...

The atmosphere is cosy . The staff was not receptive at all. Our starter and main were served all together, which was bland . 15 min after finishing our meal the waitress bought the bill on her own accord. When we said we would like...

Unable to handle more than 4 people per table. I would recommend this place only to my worst enemy. The food was good, but, it was wasted away because of the complete lack of organisation. Then placing the table just at the entrance, in early...

This place sold such badly cooked, obviously ropey chicken off-cuts that I didn't want to risk my family eating them. Unfortunately I'd already paid and they refused to reimburse me. Apparently, their policy is that you have to eat their muck and get gastroenteritis for...

Really enjoyed by visit here: great service, very friendly staff. Every dish we had was delicious – great Kimchi! The menu is broad and the only problem is that too many dishes look appealing. Prices were affordable, and the experience was lovely. Good location too.

Went here with my partner on a Friday night after wanting to go for ages. The staff were initially friendly, however they sat us in a corner booth and completely ignored us, while serving the table next to us who had come in after us...

Two starters to share, octopus balls and dumplings. Very nice and decent size portions! We also tried the Korean beer which was very crisp - similar to Asahi. Two mains of Bibimbap - one chicken and one beef. Very interesting and different food! Great tasting...

This is hands down the worst take away I've ever ordered. Maybe eating in the restaurant is okay but the food they delivered was abysmal. I've never gone online to write a review before but I felt like I should. I just don't want anyone...

Great little restaurant with a wide selection of dishes and friendly knowledgeable staff. We had a lovely evening.

Really enjoyed the food here, something a bit different. Freshly cooked with lots of flavour. We felt the prices were very reasonable.

Despite a significant increase in prices, we now visit less frequently. Nonetheless the food is excellent and the raw beef bibimbap is a winner.

After reading such a great reviews, I expected really decent food. My bad. This place is literally a chicken chip shop under korean name and with the double price - food isn’t any better. It tastes fine, if you’d like to eat an instant soup...

After months of disappointments I found an authentic Korean gem this side of the world. It is a bit of a travel across London to Vauxhall, but well worth it... 300 yrds from the tube station. I got there few mins past opening a most...

Been several times for lunch from work and it’s always great. The staff are always super nice and the food very tasty! The bibimbap is exceptional and the lunch deal is good value for money.

I came here several times: always great food and polite service. I would recommend the spicy seafood soup, it’s delicious

Great little restaurant/takeaway in Vauxhall, near the station. If you're new to Korean food this is the ideal place to try it. Reasonable value and good service.

Had a small portion of the sweet chili fried chicken but could easily have eaten a bigger portion (even though the small is a decent size) its that good! Also had a seafood pancake but this was more pancake and not much seafood and far...

Delicious food with good portions. We had a tasty noodle dish each and a range of starters that all arrived quickly. The place was full by 7pm on a Saturday night so its a good idea to book. They are obviously busy apparent by receiving...

This restaurant is very casual and is mainly about the food rather than atmosphere but the food is delicious! Fried Chicken is amazing! Starter Dumplings and my husband said the Katsu Curry is by far the best he's ever had! HIGHLY recommend !

It was my first time trying Korean food and can I say that it was so good! I had Kimchi, Kimchi Fried Rice and Tteokbokki, it was so tasty and savoury. I'm a Nigerian and I went for Holiday in London and I made sure...

We’re quite keen on our Korean food and were excited when we spotted a local option had opened and have been very impressed with them. It has a really friendly relaxed atmosphere and serves very tasty Korean food including our favorites (seafood pajeon, raw beef...

My partner and I have frequently visited this restaurant since we discovered it several months ago. Food is fantastic, the Spicy Seafood Udon Soup and the Raw Beef Bibimbap are two absolute musts and the Korean Fried Chicken with sticky chili sauce is perfect! The...

Daebak is a good lunch option. Seating is comfortable and service good and quick. Quite a wide menu - we enjoyed our various choices.

I was here recommended by friend. The food actually very good, like fried chicken, kimchi tofu. But the seafood dishes were not we expected. There were no much seafood. The seafood pancake was too thick and no seafood of course. I don't like it. But...

Great find not far from the Vauxhall Travelodge. The name means "great fortune" or so the menu says. Felt like I experienced this in finding the restaurant. Staying over for work so a starter, main and a beer for less than 25 quid was a...

Come here regularly since we’ve found this place near our office a month ago. Food is lovely and reasonably priced. Waitress is friendly and a good atmosphere to chat. Recommend the Bibimbab and the Kimchi Pork soup with rice.

Amazing Korean with authentic delicious food in Vauxhall. I live in the area and find the lack of good restaurants frustrating which is why this is a welcome change. The staff were friendly and the food was served in good time. Definitely recommend.

I love this restaurant! The food is amazing everytime and the staff is friendly. I love the ramen and my partner the KFC, the prawn tempura are also very good! On the bows with rice and veggies, go for the raw beef instead of the...

I actually spent 2 years living in South Korea and my wife is Korean - so Korean food is an area of moderate expertise for us. We first tried this place a few weeks ago then went back again last week. It is a great...

Good service. Great food at a reasonable price. Kimchi starter was fantastic and delicious beef main.

First off, I asked if they accepted credit cards, and the waitress said "yes". She didn't speak much English, I think. I had to show her my debit card before she understood. Then I saw the sign saying there would be a charge for paying...

This is a great addition to the rather limited options for eating in Vauxhall. They have a good range of Korean (and Japanese) classics and everything we tried was good. Service was very helpful, relaxed and friendly. Overall, reasonably priced with good portions of great...

Now that this has been renovated, it looks nice inside, although was a little chilly. It has a varied menu with all the Korean dishes you'd expect. We tried the KFC, Kimchi pancake Bulgogi and bibimbap and all were great. The prices were very reasonable...

Three of us walked up on a Wednesday night and they were able to accommodate us straight away. We ordered a selection of starters (the 4 pot starter is a good whistle-stop intro into Korean food) and the crispy seaweed as well as kimchi pancakes...

I've walked past this place many times and finally decided to try it. I'm so glad I did because I am so impressed with this restaurant. The staff are very friendly and we got seated quickly. There was a good variety of food on the...

Tasty food. Great staff. Only downside is minimal options for vegetarians. But still food was good. Everyone satisfied.

We stopped at Vauxhall to get lunch and found this little gem of a restaurant. Neither of us had been to a South Korean restaurant before and we were very impressed. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was incredible. I’d definitely...
