    Silver Cod Jigae
    Addy C.

    Still one of my new favorite Korean restaurants, and a great choice if you're trying to impress ... love getting 10 different banchan incl. the marinated crab. Soban is getting very popular now - you can tell the servers are working very hard but feels like they need to hire more help. BRAISED SILVER COD - $49.99 Ohhhh so good - pricey yes but very good and you get a ton of food. This is definitely for sharing. The fish, squash, tofu, radish - all caramelized and soaking in flavor. If you have just 2 people in your party which we did - you will have leftovers to enjoy later. KIMCHI PANCAKE - $15.99 Good but not crispy which I think it key for a good Korean pancake. I definitely want to try that cuttlefish platter and galbijjim next time - I saw many tables order the galbijjim.

    TL;DR -- Soban Korean Restaurant is a promising newcomer with food that genuinely stands out -- the cold noodle alone might be the best you've ever had. Service has some growing pains, but the friendliness and food quality make it easy to forgive. Everything here feels fresh -- the space, the decor, the menu. Speaking of the menu, clear your schedule before you sit down because it's going to take a few minutes to get through. The decoration has a warm, homey feel that makes the space comfortable despite being brand new. Now, the service. It took three different servers to get water, and our second dish didn't arrive until we were almost done with the first. Timing and coordination still need work. That said, everyone was genuinely friendly throughout, and it's hard to be too hard on a place that's still finding its rhythm fresh out of the gate. Give them time. The food, though -- that's where Soban earns its keep. The cold noodle is exceptional. Most cold noodles at other spots are bland and forgettable, but this one actually has flavor -- a subtle radish note running through a broth that's light but surprisingly complex. If you're looking for a cold dish to beat the summer heat, this is a must-order, full stop. The beef back rib with bean sprout delivered too. The meat falls clean off the bone, and the bean sprouts held their texture without going soggy, which is harder to get right than it sounds. The food here is the real deal. Come for that cold noodle. Service: 4/5 · Food: 5/5 · Atmosphere: 4/5

    A pleasant surprise while we were shopping close to Mega Mart for a Sunday lunch before heading back to Midtown. Still a soft opening, but service was great. Only three servers then, but they were fast and efficient and always prompt when we needed service. Their side dishes are probably one of the best in the Duluth area and quite authentic which we liked. Great quality, service, and ambiance.

    They give you so much side dishes! The cuttlefish tastes as good as it looks. We got the cuttlefish and also the galbijjim that had the bones sticking out. They cut up the meat off for you or you can eat it with disposable gloves.

    Soban ssambap w/ bulgogi. With banchan and soy bean soup.

    Wonderful spread. So many choices of bancha and phenomenal service. I will return soon!

    Very clean, spacious, and good food. Banchan was good too. Recommend if you are visiting Duluth

    Best Korean food in Atlanta! I don't say this lightly either. They provide a wide assortment of banchan and have menu items you can't find anywhere else in Atlanta. They area bit pricey but the quality and portion sizes more than makes up for it

    Moo Bong Ri

    I recently visited here since it's located in the H-Mart plaza we go to often…read more Honestly, I thought it would be more like other Moo Bong Ri restorants with hot pot-style soups for sharing (전골), but it turned out to be more of a BBQ restaurant. Just a heads up so others don't get confused like I did. The place was pretty busy, which made it feel like a popular spot. The atmosphere was nice and everything looked clean and well kept. Even though it was crowded, our server was very friendly and attentive. They cooked the meat right at the table, which made the experience better. The fried rice (볶음밤) they made on the grill at the end, especially with the pork belly, was honestly the best part. Overall, really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

    I rarely write reviews and try to be considerate of the behind the scenes operations as a former…read morefood service worker from my past. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed with the service. My partner and I came in around roughly 9:50-10pm. When we arrived we're were initially informed that we had to order soon because they were closing in 30 minutes and were understandings of that. Shortly after we were seated, (literally 1-2 minutes) about 3 employees came to our table letting us know we needed to order within the next few minutes. It was like 10:05. I tried asking one of the employee what the meat options were and was just interrupted by him being persistent in us ordering and did not really answer our questions, mainly because I noticed some of the meat options were pork and I do not consume pork for personal reasons. My partner and I felt overwhelmed and just ordered something we thought would not include pork. After submitting our order another employee came by with the check already without us asking insisting for us to pay before our food even came out. Mind you the restaurant closed within 20 minutes at this point. When our food did come out, it did contain PORK!!! We just left shortly afterwards and left the food on the table.

When I opened the omurice, the rich egg and cheese aroma covered the entire dish, and every spoonful of rice was full of flavor. The sweet and tangy fried chicken skewers were also delicious. I also tried their mandu (beef dumplings) -- juicy and full of savory flavor. The second time, I ordered the Alfredo pasta, which had a strong creamy aroma and an addictive white sauce flavor. The only downside was the portion -- it was a bit small and disappeared too quickly!

Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.
