Superb service. High end flavors and unique combinations for a delicious take on Korean BBQ. Got wide selection of dishes. The meats were exceptionally fresh & tender. Understated, elegant restaurant. Very convenient to Fulton Market, River North, West Loop & the Loop.

We go to Daebak often and things are usually very good, however tonight we took our friends from out of town and experienced very slow service. The restaurant was not very busy and seemed to have plenty of staff, however they seemed more concerned with cleaning instead of providing service to their customers. We had a reservation but was told they had to “prepare our table” and were finally seated. Once seated, we had to raise our hands to have our order taken, then again to request water, and then again to get our check. This is not our usual experience, but it’s very unfortunate that this happened when we recommended and brought new customers to Daebak.
