Came here for a late-ish lunch. Ordered bibimbap, which came in a large tray, 4 bonchans, and a bean sprout soup. Portion size is generous, enough to feed 1.5 persons. The good: Flavorful all across. Reasonably priced. Service was fast. The not so good: Bean sprouts in the soup were a little soggy. The stone pot wasn't real stone- not sizzling, not hot to touch, and sat directly on a wooden tray (they wouldn't do that if it was real sizzling stone). Yes, I'm spoiled because I'm married to a Korean and my mother-in-law's bibimbap is still the best, but this was good.
This is large restaurant that is nicely decorated. The service is wonderful; we got seated right away, and our food arrived shortly after we ordered. I came in super excited for some authentic Korean food, but it didn't quite meet expectations. The banchan were fine, but I ordered a dolsot (stone pot) bibimbap, and the rice never got hot enough to form the crispy layer that makes this dish so special. My date ordered the same thing, and even after letting it sit for a while, the rice still never crisped up, which was disappointing. As we were leaving, we noticed that none of the cooks seemed to be Korean. While you don't have to be Korean to make great Korean food, it did make me wonder if there was a lack of understanding about how the stone pot impacts the flavor and texture profile.
We ate here as a party of four. The drinks were really good, but it's somewhat expected when you're using soju as a base (soju is just so smooth). We ordered their soju cocktails yuzu lemon and slushy lemon/pom. We also got sake (hakutsuru) and their Valentine's Day cocktail as well. We ordered the kimchi beef fried rice, stonepot bibimbap, KFC wings, and dumplings. Everything was good, but I thought the kimchi fried rice was a little too salty. The KFC wings were bigger than expected, crunchy, and tasted like gochujang. The dumplings were dumplings and the bibimbap was bibimbap! The side dishes that came with the bibimbap were fine to mid, a bit simple and not all Korean side dishes. I wanted more variety and more Korean side dishes instead of broccoli. I like the menu. It's formatted nicely, making it very legible. The service was fine! The vibes was cute since they decorated for Valentine's Day even though we forgot it was around Vday when we went. Parking could be hard since it's downtown. Overall, I would like to visit again.
Came here to absolutely overeat (second dinner) just one hour before they closed They were super fast with our orders though and seated us promptly. Got the original soju bottle. Seaweed salad was perfect!!! KFC Wings - turned out sweet not spicy and very big on batter and rubbery chicken inside - don't recommend Kimchi fried rice - I have had better but it wasn't bad. And it comes with banchan which was okay The dumplings are standard dumplings (we got the steamed pork) The beef bulgogi salad was good but again came with a very sweet dressing - not for me The choco lava cake lacked the lava but when we cut it The coco-nuts was a good dessert though Overall, I'm assuming the food was 3/5 because it was closing time cos otherwise the place seemed like a decent place :)
Always spot on, the service and the food are fantastic. I love the atmosphere in here. Rose Tteokboki - ordered the special app for $12. It was really good and tasted like a bisque. I would would highly recommend it for 2 people to share. Seafood Jam Bong was just as good it was the first time I had it. I absolutely love this Ramen. The broth is so good and has just the right amount of spice for me. Everything comes out so fresh and flavorful.
Gorgeous interior, modern and chic with woody accents and a loft feel. Food was elegantly presented. Had the most beautifully plated beef galbi, with a crispy fried lotus wheel on the top, and surrounded by three types of banchan, a basket of crisp romaine lettuce and blanched purple cabbage, and a side of purple rice. Delicious. The bulgogi beef was equally good. Hearty portions. We got a free dessert from leaving a Google review- waffle topped with real vanilla bean ice cream (you could see the dark specks in the ice cream), a drizzle of chocolate syrup and roasted peanuts. Server was unobtrusive and food came out quickly. What a great meal, would absolutely recommend.
Cool, calm, relaxing environment to enjoy some Korean cuisine. The noise levels are moderate, but you can still hear conversations at your table. Smells from the kitchen fill the space, making sifting through the menu exciting. I had the chicken bibimbap. It was packed with solid variety and flavor. The sides were a nice touch. They were so diverse and really electrified the palate. The service was awesome and everyone was very friendly and attentive.
Cool spot for Korean in Prov recommended by a couple of Korean friends. Wide menu variety was in a bit of a rush so got some chicken wings to eat there and some food to go. The KFC and soy ginger wings were great, crispy big hot flavorful. I think the spice level wasn't bad on the KFC just not my sort of style of it; crowd favorite was the soy ginger. Restaurant was clean inside, updated modern. Server was kind and efficient, I would definitely come back to try additions dishes and drinks on the menu!
I've been eating at Mokban for many years and every time I come back, I'm reminded how good the food is. My partner had the kimchi stew and I had the pork katsu. Both dishes had a lot of flavor and a good portion size to fill us up with some leftovers. The service was great. We had a very attentive waiter and the candle at the table is a nice touch.
Stonepot bibimbap was amazing!! So fresh and so flavorful! Service was excellent and very attentive. Ambiance was cute, but a little loud.
Providence isn't exactly a place known for its Korean food, though I must admit that the food has pleasantly surprised me with how much it's improved over the years. Perhaps it's from the more discerning college-age foodies that have descended upon Brown's campus in recent years. Our large party of twelve walked in without a reservation at the end of Brown's annual Reunion Weekend (around noon on a Sunday), and we were immediately seated at two large tables by the windows. The restaurant interior is spacious and airy, with an industrial-chic vibe, and large windows line the street-facing walls, allowing natural light to flood the interior and offering passersby a glimpse into the bustling dining area. Exposed brick walls and metal accents create a trendy yet comfortable atmosphere, complemented by vibrant green plants that add a touch of warmth and freshness. The menu is extensive and showcases a variety of Korean dishes ranging from the more Americanized fare (bibimbap, bulgogi, etc.) to more traditional foods (think seafood soybean soup and kimchi stew) to appetizers/street foods (dumplings, Korean fried chicken, and more!). We started with some appetizers to share, including their dumplings, edamame, and pa jeon. Their dumplings ($8.99 for 6 pcs, your choice of fried/steamed, beef/pork/shrimp/veggie) were okay: we went with fried pork dumplings, and while the skin was crispy, they lacked filling and flavor. The edamame ($6.99, mild or spicy) was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the pa jeon (scallion pancake, $10.99) was crispy and not overly greasy. For entrees, all dishes come with banchan and rice (Korean side dishes including pickled onions, cucumbers, kimchi, etc. - it's decent but nothing stands out). One member of our party ordered their Spicy Beef Veggie Soup ($20.99), which comes with tender pulled beef, egg, and plenty of vegetables and glass noodles in a spicy broth. While this was nowhere near the best yukgaejang we've had, it was perfectly serviceable. Another two members of our party opted for the Chicken Ramen ($19.99), which is a large bowl of their most popular ramen, topped with pulled chicken leg and vegetables in a garlicky, spicy broth. They seemed to enjoy the large portion and the unique vegetables such as fernbrake and taro stems, which you don't often see in ramen. The Kimchi Beef Fried Rice ($16.99) is a huge plate of stir-fried rice with kimchi, spicy sauce, onions, and beef bulgogi - this is a great option as it allows them to mask less-than-fresh kimchi and lower-quality cuts of meat in a dish that is a great value and arguably still delicious, topped with an indulgent runny fried egg. Lastly, I opted for the Ginseng Chicken Soup ($25.99), which is one of my favorite Korean dishes of all time: a whole cornish hen stuffed with sweet glutinous rice, dates, chestnuts, garlic, and ginseng root. This version was fine, but not memorable: the chicken was large and tender, but there wasn't enough rice stuffing, nor dates, chestnuts, and garlic (and only a tiny piece of ginseng). I did enjoy how it came with a side of salt and pepper to season the broth to your liking, but I couldn't justify spending $26 for this dish again. Overall, I think that this is probably some of the best Korean food that you'll find in the area, and as long as you don't get your hopes up too high for truly authentic fare, you won't be disappointed. If you're looking to curb a Korean food fix with satisfactory food, friendly service, and a great vibe, this is a great option!
Expensive, warm inside restaurant since no AC. Big portion of food. Good kimchi tofu soup. Delecious crunchy kimchy pancake. Good service, parking on street. They also serves purple rice, a healthier version of rice, bit you can substitute to white rice if you ask the server.

Mokban Korean Bistro was such a pleasant surprise! We ordered the beef bibimbap, the kalbi ssam, and the soy ginger wings to start, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The soy ginger wings were the perfect appetizer--crispy, flavorful, and coated in a sweet and savory glaze that had us reaching for one after another. The beef bibimbap was fresh and well-balanced with plenty of vegetables, tender beef, and a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg. Mixing everything together with the sauce made every bite so satisfying. My fiancé loved the kalbi ssam--the short ribs were tender and flavorful, and wrapping everything in the fresh lettuce with the sides made for an awesome meal. What really stood out was how comforting everything felt. As fellow Asians (though not Korean), the food gave us that warm, homey feeling that good Asian comfort food should. The banchan and soup were a great touch, and the portions were generous. This is easily some of the best Korean food we've had so far, and we'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more
10 out of 10 recommend! The food was soooo good. We got the braised pork belly, beef bulgogi and the short ribs! It was all really good. The food came out pretty fast and the service was really good. I wanted sliced jalapeños but they didn't have any so they recommended a spicy sauce, went great with the pork belly. If I go back to Rhode Island, this will have to be in my rotation of places to eat. read more
The food was delicious. I love their presentation. I had the dumpling soup and each one was cooked perfectly, not soggy or mushy. They looked and tasted handmade. There were only 4 side dishes but I really loved the broccoli and kale with gojujang. I think the front part is well lit but the rest of the restaurant is quite dim, maybe for ambiance? read more

We popped in on a Saturday for dinner. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. I got the Yuzu aloe drink and it was very delicious! Dinner was very good. With all the extra sides on the tray it makes it a fun meal. The jap chea with beef was really good! Would come back for it. Everyone else at the table got the bibimbap and the chicken gang jeong. Good portion sizes and presentation! Would come back again for drinks and apps- those looked good but we didn't get any this time around. The space is really cute! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars, I absolutely would! Mokban Korean Bistro is a gem. I loved the cozy vibe--especially around Valentine's Day, it felt so warm and inviting. The service was amazing--friendly, fast, and super accommodating. One of my favorite parts was the variety of side dishes that come with every meal. Such a fun and flavorful touch! Highly recommend trying the tofu soup and the katsu--both were delicious and super comforting. Also, don't miss the flavored rice wines--they have a great selection and each one is so unique. I'll definitely be back! read more
More like 4.5 stars Thanks to PVD Yelp pal I found this place and it was quite good. I brought my mom here for a weekday lunch What we got Me? Kimchi stew, comes japchae, pork belly, loads of veggies, salad, rice. Was good. Thought the rice was bit bland and broth was a bit salty Mom got japchae noodles with tofu and she loved it. She's never had Korean food before and now she's a fan. Yay! We got a free dessert, which was waffle and scoop of ice cream. It was nice and it was free lol We had no problems with the service. Everyone was polite and helpful. Parking is on the street and there is some for free if you look for it Price is reasonable given the location and food caliber Overall I really like the vibes and ambiance. The food was tasty so I would recommend! read more
Nice little gem on our way back from a spin class! We definitely didn't know what to expect but found parking relatively easy right outside on the street. When we entered, there was only a few tables on this Wednesday night so we were seated promptly. The servers were very nice and we opted for the seafood jambong and the spicy pork bulgogi! Now i must say the presentation trays that everything comes on (all the Korean sides you get per dish listed on the menu) is nice and organized. Though i opted to place the different dishes on the table and ditch the tray after as it does take up quite a bit of real estate. The pork bulgogi was tender, came out hot and well seasoned. Now much to my liking, there was actually good size cut of meat and plenty of it: many other places tend to give you the tiniest bit of shredded pork and mainly filled fluff of veg and peppers. The lady had the seafood jambong sorry if i misspelled it, lazy to look it up again haha. But it had good deep flavor depth to the broth and the seafood felt fresh. Nothing off putting in taste. Came out hot, PLENTY of noodz and definitely filling! I was a fan of their KFC wings, large wings, well marinated flavor and seasoning with a bit of a kick! Crunchy underneath the sauce as that is the signature of Korean fried chicken! I will def be back when in the area! read more

Great restaurant right on Westminster St! With so many Korean restaurants in the city MokBan always sticks out. This time I went with 7 of my coworkers and we made a 6:30 reservation. We were sat promptly and our waitress was very kind and accommodating. They even have a whole gluten free menu if that's needed for you. Prices are reasonable with most dishes between 18-25. I had the tofu kimchi with pork and my coworkers had the stone pot bibimbaps. All were very happy with the food. I especially enjoyed the numerous banchans and there was so much food I couldn't finish. Paying the bill was easy as they had a machine they brought over. My only minor criticisms was that the restaurant was a little warm and loud. But it's not enough to ruin my five star experience. read more
Mokban is a lovely Korean restaurant at the heart of downtown Providence with delicious dishes and generous portions. The interior is a very cute space with warm-toned wooden paneling and spacious seating. We ordered the kimchi pancake, the stone pot bibimbap, the braised pork ssam, and the beef soft tofu soup and were blown away by how delicious each dish was as well as the generous amount of banchan and sides that came with each dish. The service was also great and attentive! read more

Tasty Korean food in an elevated atmosphere. The interior of the restaurant is stunning with light woods, plants and warm lighting. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual but elevated. I tried the duk man du which was a rice cake and dumpling soup and my partner got the bibimbap. Each entree is served on a wooden tray called a mokban and came with banchan. My soup was hearty and the broth was very flavorful. I loved that they included crispy rice to sprinkle on top. The banchan was unique, and several of the dishes I had not tried before. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and this is the perfect date night dinner spot! read more

Great spot for some Korean classics! The service was great other than asking for water refills just once. The space is also large, so I would definitely return with a larger group next time. We started with shrimp sweet chili dumplings - they were super crispy and had great spice. For the meals, we got a Stonepot bibimbap and a Mokban ramen. Both dishes came with a side (either a miso soup or crispy rice) and banchan. The banchan are always different, and I love trying the different creations each time we come here! The meals were very well seasoned and well cooked. Our least favorite part of the meal was the beef shank in the ramen; it was chewy and wasn't our favorite flavor. The pork belly in the ramen was great though! I also got a soju mojito to go with my meal. It was a pretty good drink! Overall, we will definitely come back to continue trying dishes. It's a great spot for larger groups or an easy weeknight meal! read more
Mokban Korean Bistro is an absolute gem, located in Downtown Providence! We were craving some good Korean food in the area and Mokban definitely delivered just that! The restaurant is super cute, spacious w/ tall ceilings, had a rustic aesthetic, and served our entrées w/ pretty wooden trays. What we ordered: -seafood jam bong / jjamppong -pork bulgogi -kfc wings -ice cream w/ waffle Everything we tried today was absolutely phenomenal. I honestly wasn't expecting the seafood jjamppong to be as spicy as it was haha, I often order seafood jjamppong at Korean restaurants and this has been one of the spicier jjamppong I've tried! It had a great amount of seafood, and included shrimp, squid, mussels, and clams. The pork bulgogi was also very good! Had nice flavor & we liked that they used pork belly instead of the typical cut of pork used for bulgogi that we have seen. Something I really liked about our meal was that they gave us some steamed cabbage to make bulgogi wraps! Not a lot of places steam the cabbage for you, not that I've seen or experienced. I think I could eat the steamed cabbage by itself, every day! We ordered the KFC wings as our appetizer and it was tasty. Loved the flavor profile & cooked well, not dry at all. To end our meal, we indulged in their ice cream dessert, which consisted of a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream I believe, on top of a mini waffle, with a mini strawberry on top! That was a lovely way to end our dining experience at Mokban Korean Bistro! Only thing I would say that could be improved is the service. The staff members were all very nice, however, the service was a bit on the slower side. Other than that, our meal was perfect and I could definitely see myself coming back again the next time I'm in Prov & craving Korean food! Parking: meter parking available right outside. read more
Stopped in for late snack during the 4th of July water fire. They were closing in 45 min but said they could squeeze us in. The food was super tasty. I got shrimp dumplings, someone else got pork dumplings and someone got the beef bulgogi. The staff was kind but not overly attentive or smothering. Food came out in an odd order. The pork dumplings first, then the beef platter then my shrimp dumplings like 5 minutes later. We were there about 15 min past closing and they hadn't brought the bill yet. Overall a nice experience! read more

I was craving a Korean meal on a rainy day and was not at all disappointed by my meal here!!! Not only are there an abundance of amazing things to choose from but all were delicious. The grilled mushroom ssaam was very flavorful and loved the different banchan that came with the dish compared to the other dishes. Kimchi was very good! Crunchy and flavorful. The soybean ramen (and tofu version of it) hasn't had any reviews on here as far as I know so I took a risk to try it. It was wayyyy better than some restaurants that advertise themselves as ramen restaurants! The broth was so flavorful, a little salty but I love that in a broth. The noodles were well cooked, not over or under cooked! Absolutely an amazing choice more people need to try!!! Highly recommend checking this out (if you can find parking around here :p ) read more
This place is absolutely amazing! For appetizer we had the pork dumplings and for entree we got the Chicken Noodle Ramen and GangJeong! Absolutely phenomenal! 10000% recommend if you're in the Providence area to come check this place out. Beautiful lighting and ambience and perfect for multiple vibes! Service was great. read more
