I'm not from around here and this was the first thing that came up so I gave it a try. Small place but their food was good. Got their chicken Teriyaki bowl and their kimbap. Price wise was ok. Service was fast read more

Pictured is the set lunch and omurice! Café sobahn is always the go to place when my friend and I want some comfort food. I loveee their omurice and everything else is so good like their naengmyeon and set lunches! My favourite set lunch is the chicken cutlet one but look out bc their set lunch changes every week of the month! In the first picture you can see the set lunch comes with a variety of items such a Yakult, fresh fruit, and some side dishes The omurice also comes with some side dishes like pickled radishes and miso soup! My explanation cannot begin to show you how delicious the omurice is so you must go and try it yourself I would definitely recommend coming here with friends, family, or on a date read more

Cafe Sobahn is located in a plaza on Anson Rd in Coquitlam. The cafe is not open in the evening and focuses on lunch service. Currently, the cafe is open for dine-in service but we decided to grab take-out. When we entered the cafe, we were greeted by the friendly owners and they were happy to see us. Cafe Sobahn offers a variety of simple Korean rice, noodle and snack dishes. They have bibimbap, cold noodles, fried rice, udon noodle soup, and bibimbap. They also have a variety of drinks. We couldn't go to a Korean cafe without trying something Korean so we got the kimchi kimbap. These Korean style rice rolls were filled with egg, carrots, ham, pickled radish, cucumbers and mayo. I was pleasantly surprised that each roll was warm and the rice of soft. Hurray for no pre-made kimbap! The only disappointing part about the rolls was that there wasn't enough kimchi to go around. For a whole dollar more than the version without kimchi, I don't think the kimchi provided was enough to match it. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and had satisfied bellies by the end of it. Who would have thought we would order carbonara pasta at a Korean cafe? It turns out that this was the most brilliant idea! The pasta was coated throughly with rich creamy carbonara sauce and speckled with bacon and mushrooms. I liked how there was extra sauce on it so that the noodles didn't stick together. The bacon flavour was really strong in the pasta so that even if you didn't get a bite with bacon, you could taste it in the cream sauce. Definitely a must try on the menu. read more

Korean comfort homemade food in Coquitlam. With the abundance of good quality Korean restaurants in Coquitlam, it is often hard to stand out but Cafe SoBahn just reminds me of going home. The people running the cafe are extremely friendly and they make delicious food. I mean the only thing that I could complain about was that I had to walk to another building to wash my hands/use the bathroom. Would definitely recommend! read more

I really like this small but yet family operated restaurant. It feels warming and welcoming when you the chef being the husband and the server being the wife working hard to cook and serve great Korean food! The Dosirak as known as the Korean traditional school bento box, is a hearty and filling course with simple Korean ingredients. Kimbap is very family styled and delicious! The fish cake soup is a big portion for 5 people and it comes in a Korean traditional golden pot! The spicy cold noodle is perfect for a hot summer right now with a nice blend of spice and vinegar on the side. Overall, this restaurant is not pricy. The price is just right for its portion and they are all very authentic Korean food. They make you want go back each time! The food is like what mama used to make! In this case the Korean couple who runs the restaurant absolutely put their effort in the Korean delicacy. read more

Excellent food - we had the Korean-style carbonara which is heavy on the cream. I love Asian-style carbonara (am definitely aware that Italian carbonara is cream-free) at times when I need that luxurious, full-fat taste. This version was amazing. My husband had the beef and butter bimbap - marinated beef slices on top of steamed rice, mixed with butter and served with a fried egg. He wants to go back today (Sunday) for another serving but they're closed on Sundays. Service was warm and friendly, food was tasty and reasonably priced, and we can see ourselves coming in often. read more

Cafe SoBahn - Carbonara - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

This restaurant is owned by a very nice couple, and the food is delicious. The carbonara was my favourite, very creamy and rich. Was a little disappointed that the kimchi tuna rice bowl was not raw tuna, but I guess that is not common in Korean places. Overall, it is worth trying for a casual lunch. read more

This was one of greatest experiences I had. Such a cozy and modern little spot. The sweet couple that run this restaurant are amazing, you can tell how much love they put into their food. The weekly specials are just the greatest. I enjoyed the chicken karage bowl with miso soup and sides. My friend had the lunch box. Both dishes were amazing and full of flavor. Each week there's a new special , you will never get tired of the food here. A must eat spot. read more

Cozy Korean cafe in the area. I really like kimbap so I made my way here for lunch. We ordered kimbap, udon soup with fish cake and japchae. Prices were reasonable for the portion size. Service was good. Menus and tea offered right after we were seated. Tea was refilled a couple times during our meal. Food was tasty. Kimbap was fresh. Udon soup with fish cake tasted like a home cook meal for its simplicity and was very comforting to eat during the cold weather. Japchae used ground beef instead of beef slices. read more

Came on a weekend an hour before closing to find this place relatively empty. There were only two other tables. We walked in a little confused as the waitress was cleaning and did not acknowledge us. My bf and I stood awkwardly at the entrance waiting for some time while the other patrons looked at us. Due to the lack of service, we thought this was a self-serve place. After a while of waiting, we were finally seated and served chilled tea, but not given menus. We ended up grabbing the menus ourselves. Pros: - The decor is very simple and cute - very "instagram" worthy. Menus are laminated photos that are bind together with a binder ring. - Prices are reasonable. Cons: - This is a small restaurant that can seat around 20 customers. - Menu is small (3 chilled noodle options, 1 pasta, 1 bibimbap, 1 old fashion lunch box, 2 kimbap, and 1 weekly special). - Side dishes are not served. Food: - The kimbap was fresh and had good flavours. Other than that, there isn't much to say. - The chilled beef noodles was plain. There wasn't anything in the dish other than noodles, vegetables and a half boiled egg (see picture). The broth however, was very delicious and flavourful. - I enjoy being able to add my own soy sauce and hot sauce to my bibimbap to fit my preference. I was a little disappointed that the dish had very little grounded meat and no kimchi (was given radishes). The fishcake soup that came with the bibimbap was bland, but toned down the spiciness of the bibimbap. The fishcake was mushy and tasteless. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant is owned by a Korean family so the dishes taste homemade, but delicious. However, we don't think we would crave to come back since nothing stood out or was spectacular. read more

Cute small family-operated korean cafe. Cozy and comfortable. Food tasted decent. I like that they have vegetarian options for the japchae and bibimbap. Would be even better if they had a veg option for the kimbap! read more

Please come here!! I have been here at least 10 times despite never checking in, and it is without a doubt one of my favourite places to eat! I have introduced many friends to this cute lil place and they go more often than me now This place is run my a sweet married couple. As expected for a small family run restaurant, the menu is not extensive and the place isn't very big. You don't come here expecting an amazing fancy experience, you come here for the warm, friendly, and comfortable vibe! The weekly specials are by far my favourite thing to order here. The chicken cutlet is the best cutlet I've ever had! Everything else on the menu is also very good. Kind of home-style and that's what I like. Having grown up Korean-Canadian, I do not like eating Korean food out (including Sura) and this place is the only Korean place I'll actively come too. Try it out if you're in the area and looking for a cute bite to eat! read more

I really wanted to like this place - especially with the four and a half star average - however it was incredibly disappointing. Here is the food breakdown: 1) Japchae (2 out of 5 stars) - flavourless, lacked ingredients and tastes like they microwaved it 2) Kim Bap Kimchi (4 out of 5 stars) - the only decent thing I liked at this place. The kimchi was delicious and the crispness of the veggies were refreshing 3) Cold noodles - Niang Meyeon (2.5 out of 5 stars) - all of them are pretty terrible. We ordered #1, #2, and #3 - avoid at all costs. The beef broth tasted like instant powder mixed with water and the one without broth is just spicy sauce with noodles. Overpriced and bad. I can't tell whether it's the burning spice in my stomach or swiping my card for a meal that costed $50 that is fueling my anger. Avoid this place as there are better places around in Coquitlam. read more

Carbonara Pasta with Bacon & Mushroom $11.99 Review: I was MASSIVELY craving pasta and even though this is just a korean café, the pasta wasn't bad. FUNFACT: You know the chef here used to work at an Italian restaurant The pasta was cooked to a nice al dente texture. And the pasta was infused with the many delightful flavours of the sauce. The carbonara sauce was nice seasoned and very creamy I love bacon and mushrooms (YES I LIKE FUNGI OKAY) so I thought it paired with the pasta very well. All the ingredients of the pasta collaborated together to make a beautiful flavour! However, I feel like this sauce is a bit too heavy and oily for me as I felt super bLoAtEd after eating it and I don't usually feel this way because I can eat a lot... I recommend this café but I probably would not order this pasta again. The pasta doesn't taste bad at all but I just find that actual Italian restaurants that offer pasta to make it better as it is their forté. I would recommend to stick to the korean options as I have tried them and it is a korean café after all! Rating: 7.5/10 read more

I really liked their which is cold beef broth noodles. I came with my parents and the three of us ordered 3 cold noodles and bibimbab. The bibimbab was simple nothing special but it was really good to share something a little warm with our cold dishes. My dad also really liked the cold noodles as well. The waitress was really friendly and the food came out relatively fast. I would come here again for sure :) read more

I really like this cafe. Firstly, food tastes so natural as I believe the chef makes most of the food from scratch. Tasty yet natural so I will never get bored of their food. Secondly, each dish attentively plated so that you can enjoy the food visually as well. Thirdly, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, which makes the experience all the more enjoyable. I will definitely visit again!! P.S. They have a weekly special so you get to try new menu every week! read more

Cute little cafe with delicious food just like I'm back in Korea. Seemed to be husband and wife working. Small and cozy. I'll be back!

We've always passed on the idea of trying cafe sobahn and opted for henderson's food court but we finally gave cafe sobahn a try on a early weekday dinner because the husband and I was craving for kimbap and ddeokbukki. Unfortunately, Cafe SoBahn doesnt have ddeokbukki which is a real shame because it goes so well with kimbap like cheese and crackers. We ended up getting a kimchi kimbap, a bibimnaengmyeon and one dosirak. Everything could be summarized with the description of small and dainty, tasty, but all in all nothing special. It reminded my husband of his mom's dosirak that she made for him as a child which meant good memories but at the same time nothing couldn't be made at home ourselves. The owner gave us a larger bibimnaengmyeon for the price of an original but the serving still seemed smaller than other establishments and made us wonder what a true normal size really meant. The kimchi kimbap was surprisingly a normal kimbap with little pieces of kimchi placed ontop instead of inside. Our experience at cafe sobahn made us feel that the small cafe was targeting younger students that are in the area for hakwon academy/after school tutoring, but the prices were priced a tad too high. read more

You can eat Korean foods here that are almost similar to real local foods. The cook doesn't put a lot of ingredients into the foods but they are perfectly balanced. Especially in terms of cold noodle which is called Nangmyeon, it's really difficult to find a restaurant in Canada that makes broth because many restaurants usually use the commercial ones but this restaurant makes it. It's so good. I'll definitely come here every week! Thanks! read more
