Our story

단비 sweet rain

단비 is the first sweet rain after a long drought, the kind you wait all season for.

We grew up between two tables. The Korean one at home, with its banchan, steamed rice, and a grandmother's expectations. The American one everywhere else. For years we tried to pick a side.

Danbi is what happened when we stopped. The flavors we were raised on, plated for the Koreatown we love. Meat over charcoal, crispy scallop pancakes, soju by the bottle.

In the kitchen: executive chef Lareine Ko, with junior executive chef Mike Kim right beside her.

Luv u so matcha cocktail
한잔 for a fun night

Trust us to pour.

Soju cocktails with a smaller ABV that still mean business. Rice wine, canned highballs, and a bottle list for the curious. Start the night the Korean way, and we'll take it from there.

Can't decide?

Tell us two things.
