Katya V. • September 19, 2011Spicy octopus (stone pot) bibmbam is really good and the kimchi is amazing. Busy place.
Márcio V. • October 5, 2016Spectacular bbq. Prime beef belly. Exhausted table meaning no smoke on you. Great kimchi and sides. Good service. Recommend.
Stephanie T. • January 9, 2020Must try. All the beef soups are delicious. Kim chi is amazing. I come here every time I can when I am in so cal.
Tamikx • January 23, 2011$39.99 dinner set - awesome! Plus it comes w/a free bottle of either soju, beer or wine!!! LOVE the side dishes, kimchi around the grill, the kimchi fried rice and the rice drink at the end!!!
LA Weekly • October 4, 2011Soban is a slightly odd institution, nice in a way that's probably closer to the way your mom's best friend's kitchen is nice. The most famous dish here is probably the spicy galbi jjim.-Jonathan Gold
Jane C. • September 22, 2012Boodae jjigae ("army" stew) is a spicy medly of everything yumm. Also order the kimchi or scallion pancakes
Andy W. • August 7, 2017No reservation accepted, which is good. Come early to beat the crowd. The meat is high quality and the staff are attentive
Christine H. • May 18, 2017Knife-cut noodles made in-house. Chicken, seafood, or clams all delicious. $12 for big bowl + barley, Kim chi & fermented soybean paste to start. 🍜
Jonathan K. • March 19, 2015Incredibly authentic Korean food (pretty much everything in Koreatown is). Not amazing, but a great standard.
Theodore K. • December 1, 2011My favorite Korean chicken place, hands down. Garlic flavor is the way to go.
Max • December 1, 2016Incredible lamb skewers done Chinese style on live coals. Don't forget the cumin chili dip.
Angel • July 18, 2015Get the pork belly sampler. It's 8 slabs of pork belly marinated in different ways, very delicious!
LAist • December 17, 2014Kick your Korean BBQ game up a notch with BBQ Duck! There are 3 different duck meat options to choose from: spicy-seasoned duck, fresh duck strips, and duck slices. Spicy Seasoned duck is most popular
Karen E. • January 25, 2021The tteokbokki here is so good, but they aren’t kidding when they say it’s spicy 🥵 I can take spicy but honestly the mild was good enough for me lol. Beware!
