位於West Loop​的優質韓式料理​餐廳

We ordered the Jampong Mussels, Chef’s Meat Sampler, Doeng Jang Jjgae, and Banchan.. everything tasted good. I mean it tasted as Korean food should, the meat was buttery soft and while I thought it odd to have to order banchan separately… it is unlimited, so there is that. The Jampong Mussels tasted good, but it wasn’t Jampong soup really, it was more Kimchee Jjgae broth with pork (so if you are pescatarian you might want to ask if they can omit or it may not work for you). The cocktails were lovely though (as many people commented… ) I had a Matcha Sour, I believe it was called, so good if you like sweet cocktails and the expresso martini was fantastic. In terms of the ambiance, it’s a nice moody sort of interior. It is dark at night, but because it is a corner restaurant it was nice to see all the night lights come through the windows. All adds to the vibe. All in all would I recommend? If you want to have a Korean experience, but in an elevated atmosphere then yes. The food is good, but was it phenomenal? No… it wasn’t like a Benu (from SF) experience, but could be a nice date night, special occasion, or somewhere you would bring a special guest… that maybe isn’t Korean? Honestly I think the bad reviews were mostly from fellow Koreans, (or at least those who are in the know about Korean food) but like I said it’s very good food, just not anything new or quantity wise, satisfying for the natives.

It’s all about the beef. High quality, but pricey. We felt worth it. Love being able to eat the beef cooked the way you like it (rare to medium-rare for me) right after cooked. Max flavor of the beef. Loved the Korean sides and Ssam, and dipping sauces/ spices. Also has the Kimchi fried rice, super rich, high umami. Service was great, very attentive. Let us cook the beef!! Wines were also pricey, but need that accompaniment. A new fave for us.

Highly recommend Palilgu for a casual yet lively dinner! The pork belly and teobokki was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try out the other dishes.

I was celebrating my daughter's 24th birthday. From start to finish the service was impeccable. My daughter is a pescatarian and loves korean food which is one reason I choose this restaurant. Although being a prefixed menu, they were very accommodating in offer alternate no meat plates. The drinks were very good. The staff was very attentive through out the evening. Overall, was a very satisfying evening. Would highly recommend.

Had my 30th birthday dinner at Daebak - the staff was so fantastic and helpful and were able to make a quick dinner for lots of people with different needs work well for us. Everyone constantly said how good it was and how much they liked it and we had a fantastic time. For everything we got and how many people we fed it was a great deal too. Will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend!
