Danbi is a fast-casual concept built around fresh, seasonal ingredients, run by chef Jack Kim, a Culinary Institute of America graduate whose background includes JoJo by Jean-Georges, Nobu 57, and db bistro moderne. Dishes are composed of lean proteins, wholesome grains, and seasonal vegetables, sourced with an eye toward what's in season.
The name Danbi is a Korean word meaning "sweet rain, awaited rain after a long drought" — the idea being a meal that arrives as something you didn't know you were waiting for.
