    Yum! Soban is the perfect Friday take out place. It's a let's pop on the couch, put a show, rice, protein, and a couple sides perfection. I was very surprised at the generous portion size! I did a custom make your own with zesty chicken, purple rice, mashed sweet pumpkin salad, and salad with sesame dressing. The chicken was crispy with a sticky glaze. The salad reminded me of yum yum sauce and was refreshing. The sweet pumpkin salad was on the sweeter side and something I'll probably pass next time but I'm a savory gal. It had great texture though. My husband also did a custom order with bbq pork, kimchi, and the fried Mandu. Big fan of the kimchi and fried manu. I would definitely choose these sides again. The bbq pork is on the saucier wet side if you're into that. Overall I'm super impressed and wished I tried Soban sooner! I'm excited to continue to explore the menu.

    I have been here quite a few times since I first discovered this place. I love this Korean spot. The bulgogi and the spicy pork are so good. It's pricey but you're gonna have to expect pricey at this point. The portion sizes are good though. The owners are super friendly. The mandu is usually kind of cold by the time you eat it but I don't mind that. I don't need my food piping hot but others might not enjoy that. Plenty of parking and the place is always clean.

    This was a new restaurant to try because we have so little Korean restaurants in the Milwaukee area. The place is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The decor is modern and fresh with nice tables and chairs. The place is subway style with a hot and cold table to make the entrees. The menu is small but it packs a punch. They have standard entrees or a build your own with choice of proteins, veggies, rice and sides. I chose the build an entree with purple rice, spicy pork, dumplings and Mac salad. The plate looked amazing with that purple rice. The purple rice is sticky and cooked perfect Al dente but didn't pack much flavor. The Mac salad was was cold with with perfect cooked noodles Al dente also. The fried dumplings were average with no distinct meat flavor that appeared to be noodles, micro meat and veggies. The spicy pork in a red sauce topped with sesame seeds was the star. They were tender strips of pork with the heat slowly turning on with the first bite and and a hint of peanut butter in the finish. On a side note the customer service was outstanding with everyone say hi as you walk in and bye as you leave. Overall as Korean food I have nothing to compare it to because there is so little Korean restaurant and the two that I have been to was a seafood stone bowl and a Korean bbq where you cook your protein and get 10 different bowls of side dishes. Overall I would go back for more of the menu since I drive past them all the time.

    I watch a lot of Korean television and now, FINALLY, a good authentic BulGoGi joint in town. Unlike previous mediocre Korean restaurants that try to cover too wide a range of Korean cuisine and maybe even pseudo Japanese and Chinese this place is limited to spicy pork or tofu or Bulgogi with the usual sides. Served up Korean style in a place that is Korean clean, and they have Pepsi Zero. K Pop playing and good Tteok-bokki. Service is excellent in a Korean small food shop way. This review was really hard work because of ethnocentric auto-incorrect.

    Sometimes I sit at home dreaming about the meals I get from Soban! The flavors, options, and service is top tier! Worth every penny! Restaurant is set up nicely, is clean, and ordering/pick up is fast!

    Delicious, clean, not expensive, big portion, quick, balanced meal with a bit of different dishes... Everything we need nowadays for a lunch. I wish they were by my office so I could go for lunch every day ! I got no. 3 chicken meal with purple rice (yes! They have purple rice!) and hubby got a custom one with sundubu soup and Japchae in our first visit. So flavorful. Love love love. The staff are so friendly and greet you with Korean when you walk in. Parking is free and easy outside. We will for sure come back often!

    Came on a Wednesday lunchtime and only one counter person and a kitchen person was working with several people waiting plus trying to take care of carryout orders Counter girls English was pretty good but it was hard to understand sometimes since it was my first time trying to order here Food overall tasted good. Based on that part I'd come back Plenty of seating if you want to dine in Located in a strip mall 2 stores away from a PHO restaurant I would try this restaurant again in the future

    So glad to have Soban in our neighborhood! Delicious, authentic, Korean food. Priced well for the variety, quality, and quantity of food you receive. The workers were friendly and welcoming. Ordered food to-go but will enjoy at the restaurant next time. Cozy atmosphere and very clean. Lots of families were there enjoying their meals. The kimchi, dumplings, and glass noodles were all incredible. Excited to try all the different protein options. Can't wait for you to visit and see for yourself!

    Build your own.

    We will definitely be back. I enjoyed the tasty chicken and purple rice along with a side of the glass noodles. I did not care for the kimchi but would trade it out for something else. The menu is to the point. It is not a restaurant of many many choices. It was a clean and cozy place to eat. The service was great and they were very helpful with ordering. It's nice to have something new close to home. Can't wait to bring family and friends for a taste.

    Mandu, Japchae, Spicy Pork, Purple Rice & Fried Egg.

    Saw this and the first few positive reviews, so we had to try it. Staff said they've only been open for 2 weeks but the word must've gotten out as it was quite busy. When we walked in there were a solid 10 people in line. Staff was great, one came out to the line to tell everyone it would only be about 10 minutes to order. I'll start the review by saying I work for a Korean company and have been to Korea twice in the last 9 months (including just 3 weeks ago), so I have a pretty good palette for their food. Now for the food: My wife had the Bulgogi, purple rice, mandu (dumplings) and salad. She loved everything but the salad. Said it was a little bland. I had the spicy pork, purple rice, mandu and japchae...and everything was absolutely delicious. Pork was spicy and flavorful (but not obnoxious), rice was done perfect, mandu was absolutely fantastic and the japchae was top notch. What a gem this place is - we will absolutely be back and would highly recommend!

    I did DoorDash this but after trying this food and living in South Korea while in the military I will have to say this is the most Authentic Korean food I have ever tried in Wisconsin. If you are looking for authenticity this is the spot!

I have driven by it so many times not seeing the place since it's hidden in a strip mall. The place is super small with about four small tables so it's tight. It's basically soup, salads wraps and sandwiches and I opted for the combo of soup and a half wrap. I did a combo that probably no one else would have ordered because they are so far apart paring wise which was the chili dog chili and the grilled chicken Cesar wrap. The chili dog chili was pretty good with lots of sliced hot dogs that about every other bite had one and the texture of an all beef hot dog. The grilled chicken Cesar wrap was also good and I don't usually order wraps. I noticed right away that the wrap had lots of big moist chunks of grilled chicken and was tasty. Overall I enjoyed my lunch and I was impressed with the quality of the food and the fact that they don't skimp on the ingredients.

Only one pasta listed it clearly, and we had to ask our waiter for clarification on the others, which was a bit frustrating. That said, the wait staff was kind and friendly, and helpful. The pasta was edible, just not memorable, and the overall selection didn't impress us. I may not return, but it's worth noting that the restaurant was very busy while we were there, so it's clearly a favorite for many just not the right fit for me.
