    Raw Soy Marinated Crab 간장게장 and Pork Bulgogi (Spicy) 돼지불고기
    angela l.

    Loved the marinated crab even if it was not as much for many others because I literally haven't ate this since I was a kid.So for me it was delicious and plenty since we ordered a variety of other foods.Mom and daughter were owners and quite helpful.Small place but old school,great that this business is still around in Ktown.

    I went to a place called Soban over the weekend. Since it's a Michelin restaurant, I went in with pretty high expectations. The food was good and everything was nice, but for a Korean palate it definitely felt on the sweeter side. Overall, most of the dishes were a bit sweet, so I felt like American customers would probably enjoy it even more. It felt more like Korean fusion than traditional Korean food. That said, the food was good, the atmosphere was great, the interior was nice, and the service was solid -- everything was good. But if someone asked me whether I'd go back again, I'd have to think about it.

    Last night, I went to dinner with my mom and my two brothers at Soban. Soban is a well-known Korean restaurant that has been famous for a long time. I had been there once before with my mom and tried their soy-marinated crab, which I remember really enjoying. But my mom said that ganjang gejang isn't something you should eat in the summer, so this time we ordered something different. We had braised short ribs, braised black cod, and spicy fish roe soup. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and all the side dishes were amazing as well. The service was incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. They even gave us a complimentary meat pancake, which was a really nice touch. This restaurant is also famous for being visited by many Korean celebrities. In particular, when Bong Joon-ho won the Oscar for Parasite movie, instead of going to an official Oscar party, he and his entire staff came here to celebrate together, which made the restaurant even more well-known. Because of that, you can see photos throughout the restaurant of Director Bong, the actors, and even food critic Jonathan Gold. (Honestly, I didn't know who he was at first, but I saw his photo on the wall and ended up Googling him.) It was also very interesting to learn that Maggie Kang, the director of K Pop Demon Hunters, had visited this restaurant. I asked one of the staff members when she came, and they said it was about two months ago. Also, I didn't realize this restaurant had received a Michelin recognition, but I noticed it said "Michelin 2019." I definitely think it deserves it. Soban is truly a place where every dish is delicious, and the service is so warm and welcoming that I would definitely love to come back again. cf 1) After finishing the meal, they serve maesil (plum tea) as a complimentary dessert, which was really nice. cf 2) Also, when you order rice, they ask whether you want multigrain rice or white rice. My two brothers and I chose multigrain rice, and my mom had white rice. But if you order white rice, they charge an extra $2.

    Black cod was incredible. What a dish! I loved the kabocha and potato, really goes well with the sauce. Excellent quality fish. I'd return to order this again. It was empty when we got there early but lots of folks waiting by the time we left. Probably good idea to make a reservation. The Ban Chan is interesting, some I liked better than others. I loved the kimchi and radish. It's a small restaurant but spaced out well and didn't feel claustrophobic.

    I wonder why Soban's reviews are low because I was blown away when I ate here with friends over the weekend. It's no wonder the Parasite cast came here to celebrate after their big win because everything from side dishes to main dishes were perfection. I love that nothing is too salty despite being soy sauce heavy, and service is great. We had a really large party (~10 people), and they were able to save a table in the middle for us the same day around dinner time. I had such a good time trying their many side dishes, fish, raw marinated crab, and galbijjim. Everything is made so well with really high quality and healthy ingredients, and even though I ate so much, I didn't feel lethargic or heavy afterwards.

    Restroom was clean, so impressive!

    If I could give 10+ stars, Soban is definitely deserving! It was our first time dining at Soban Korean Restaurant today, 12/12/25 and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, everything about the experience was outstanding. The food was fantastic--delicious, authentic, and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared and tasted amazing, making it clear why Soban is so well loved. We ordered the cod fish, short ribs, seafood pancake, bulgogi, raw crab dish. Omg, I am still tasting the food in my mouth and wishing I was still there eating! The service was phenomenal. The very kind lady was attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome, which made our first visit even more enjoyable. She worked alone but was so happy to help and ensured everything was perfect throughout our meal. The restaurant itself is clean, relaxing, and comfortable. Even the bathroom is worth mentioning--spotless and well maintained, which really shows their attention to detail. Parking was also easy with convenient spots in the back. Overall, an excellent first-time experience with incredible food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Soban to anyone looking for authentic Korean cuisine! Located in K-town on Olympic and Noble Ave. if you haven't tried it, go now, run!

    12 Seasonal Banchan
    Edward S.

    Soban has some of the best galbi jjim (braised beef short ribs), braised black cod, and soy marinated raw crab. On the wall, they have gold leaf art honoring Jonathan Gold. Today they still have their summer DineLA menu, so when in K-Town, you gotta go large! 12 Seasonal Banchan: A dozen of the best banchan of the season! The best ones were the candied lotus root, the soft tofu, and the mountain greens. Small Jiggae Stew: The fermented soybean stew (doenjang) contains tofu, onions, and potatoes. Seafood Jeon Pancake: The shrimp and squid patties are crispy and savory with a tasty red chili sauce. Soy Marinated Raw Crab: One of the shining stars of the restaurant arrives in a giant dish containing a soy marinade with raw onions, ginger, garlic, jalapeños, and 18 aromatics. But, first you must don thin plastic gloves. The blue crab legs are attached to body segments. So you grab the soft-shell legs and squeeze the soft gooey blue crab. You slurp and suck the contents that have a savory and floral flavor. This isn't a pretty sight, but it's worth the effort for the briny treasure. When you're finished and it's gloves off, they instruct you to add the purple rice, sesame oil, and seaweed into the shell. Stir the orange and yellow crab mustard with the added contents and enjoy the flavor explosion. 2-year Aged Maesil Cheong: The glass contains a beverage of Korean green plums fermented in sugar with ice. Intended as a digestif, this is the best plum juice you'll ever have. Dining Area: The cozy spot has almost ten tables with a long counter next to giant jars of fermented goods. Parking: There's a tiny lot in the back, with a valet booth. However, depending on the time, you can probably snag street parking.

    Started out great, but ended in a shocking disappointment. The food was good, and we initially had a pleasant experience. However, it became very apparent that Umma (the owner) treated Korean customers with noticeably more warmth, respect, and attention. We watched other tables receive banchan refills without issue. Since we're not Korean, we only asked for refills of the two banchan dishes we actually enjoyed: the fish cake and the japchae. The first refill was only for the fish cake. After waiting about 15 minutes, we asked for the second refill for only the japchae, and Umma immediately responded, "No, no, no. Too much." How is refilling only two side dishes, one time each, considered "too much" when other tables were being accommodated? The difference in treatment was difficult to ignore and left us feeling unwelcome. Good food, but we won't be returning because of the disrespectful service and the clear disparity in how customers were treated.

    Jennifer T.

    This place feels very authentic and the dishes taste amazing! All of the banchans are delicious. The marinated raw crab was super flavorful and unlike anything I've tasted before. I wish the galbi was a bit more tender, but the flavor was good for sure. I enjoyed the braised black cod as well. Service was pretty quick and friendly!

    Had Soban bookmarked for a while and finally made it in for a Sunday lunch. They've been recognized by both the Michelin Guide and Jonathan Gold over a decade ago - so clearly, they're doing something right. The space itself is cozy and traditional, with limited seating (definitely recommend snagging a Resy). Inside, massive jars of fermented goods line the walls, adding to the vibe. I already knew what I wanted and went straight for their specialties: braised short rib galbi jjim, soy-marinated raw crab, and braised black cod. We started with nine assorted banchan, and contrary to some reviews, they do refill them when empty. All the side dishes were solid; nothing that blew me away individually, but the variety was great. Shortrib Galbi Jjim - Tender short ribs, perfectly cooked with shiitake mushrooms. The portion runs a bit smaller compared to what I'm typically used to, but it's still shareable for two. 7.5/10 Soy-Marinated Raw Crab - Served as a single crab, which I could've easily inhaled two on my own. Super fresh, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. My only gripe is again portion size. 8.5/10 Braised Black Cod - The star of the show and rightfully their signature. The fish was fresh, flaky, and generously portioned. Every element; the radish, kabocha, and potato - was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with their purple rice. Watch out for bones, but this is a must-order. 9/10 Overall, I can see why Soban has been a K-Town staple for decades. Between their specialties and the care in execution, it's a spot that still earns its accolades. That said, with all the strong competition in the area, it may not be the most mind-blowing meal if you eat Korean food often but it's definitely worth trying at least once.

    For a group of 4 around lunch time, service was fast. The staff quickly seated us and gave us just enough time to deliberate the menu. We got two sets of the Dine LA special so we could get a good sample of the menu and also added on order of the raw marinated crab. The banchan was served very fast and the selection is so wide! The server made sure to explain each one so we could be aware for allergies. The seafood and the kimchi pancakes were so delicious. The galbi jim has such a deep and rich flavor, with hints of sweetness. She let us know the jujubes inside were from her house! I'm usually not a fish person, but the braised cod is worth trying just to taste the mixture of flavors they've cultivated. The star is the soy raw marinated crab! On top of hot rice, it's so delicious. Street parking seems to be easiest for this place, be prepared to come early and find a spot to walk.

    Seafood jeon and doenjang jjigae
    Lisa T.

    We arrived for dinner and were seated right away. I saw two other tables who arrived after us get their food before we did, which was annoying because I was very hungry and we placed our order before them. They were still honoring their dineLA menu so we got the $35pp for 2 people and it included a jjigae, pancake, entree, and two bowls of rice. It was a good deal and very filling. The braised beef was tender, sweet, and savory. The seafood pancake was crispy, but not memorable. Doenjang was okay. I want to try the raw marinated crab next time. It looked delicious. We found free street parking. Otherwise, it's pay to valet.

    I'll be honest I'm not very familiar with K food except for some K BBQ. I had no clue what to expect but I was blown away. The restaurant was very busy since it was Valentine's day - we had a res and we got seated pretty quickly. The staff were all very friendly. The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the braised black cod and my bf got the braised ribs. I really enjoyed the presentation of the variety of side dishes and the main dishes of course. The flavors were incredible! The fish, potatoes and kabocha squash were all cooked to perfection. The portions were incredibly generous - I even had left overs which they packed with fresh purple rice to go. I don't eat beef so i didn't try my bf's. But he also thought it was very flavorful and he was very satisfied with the portions. We definitely plan to come again.

    Is the kimchi vegan? (I am allergic to shellfish.)

    Do they have parking?

    Yes, there’s a small parking lot at the back of the restaurant. It can park about 5-6 cars. In the old days, there was valet service. Business is not the same, no need anymore.

    Gluten free options?

    I don't think so

    Are there gluten-free options? There's no GF annotations on the menu on their website or mentions here on yelp, so I'm assuming no.

The owner came by to check how we liked the galbi kalguksu since it was a newly created dish and we told her that it was delicious, seasoned just right. Before the meal, as they brought out the side dishes, they brought out barley rice with denjang on top to mix with yeol-moo kimchi. That was a special touch. We absolutely loved the food there. I saved the info so that we can return when we visit Koreatown again in the near future. Highly recommend this place to anyone who craves exceptional Korean food.

This place came highly recommended online, and I can see why! First of all, the vibes are sooooo good! From the dope music to the staff, I felt at home walking in the door. I love how the restaurant has an open air feel to it, where even when sitting inside, you're also right next to the outdoor spaces. I ended up sharing the Taiwanese popcorn chicken with my husband and ordered the wonton noodle soup. The soup was pretty good and fresh, but popcorn chicken stole the show! Just delicious. My husband got the Dan Dan noodles which were also super flavorful.

    We were craving some Taiwanese food and decided to stop by Saturday morning. There was a short line…read moreas we arrived, because they were transitioning from their breakfast to lunch menu. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who took our order and told us to look for any spot we'd like. The Dan Dan noodles came out quick and was delicious. The noodles had a nice chewy texture and the thick peanut sauce and chili oil that coated it made it super scrumptious. The freshness of the cucumber and herbs cutting through the rich sauce balanced it out. The pan fried pork buns however were rather forgettable. The meat was juicy but I was left wanting more flavour in both the meat and the buns. I also wish the bottoms were a bit crispier. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to try their breakfast menu and other items though. Because peeking at the other tables they offerings looked delicious.

    Had a great experience at Sulga House of Beef Bone Soup…read more Their beef bone soup is simple, clean, and really solid, the kind of comfort food that just hits right for the soul. They currently have a great deal at $12, which makes it even better value for what you're getting. The sullungtang comes with rice, soup, and two types of kimchi. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy and satisfying. Place was chill, not too overly crowded. I've noticed a lot of people ordering other dishes every time I go, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of the menu, but I keep coming back for the basics because it's just that good.

    Sulga was definitely THE place to be for a warm bowl of bone broth on a rainy night. My friend and…read moreI stopped by for doganitang (for two), and the portions were indeed large - for four. We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.
