Amazing food. I didn’t realize there was a Korean restaurant that was so close to my office at Northwestern. I used to live in K town and I love Korean food. I can say their food is definitely authentic and tasty.
This is my favorite Korean Restaurant, My favorite is Rabokki! And I love free appetizers and free refills😍 So tasty and filling. People who are works there all helpful and kind!
Food 4 stars Environnement 5 stars Staff 5 stars Price $$$/$$$$ (because of small portion, two dishes plus an appetizer costs 50+) Overall 4 stars Standard Korean food restaurant. Food tastes good. The portion is on the smaller side though, so order enough.
First time at Soban, but many many Korean restaurants around the entire Chicago area. My standard first time item is (yuk guy Jeng) Yukgaejang, which is a spicy soup with shredded beef, green onions and green bean sprouts with glass noodles. It is hot and spicy, and it helps me determine if the food is authentic. My wife always eats the Dolsot Bibimbap, rice crispy in a stone bowl and cooked veggies and a fried egg, and a selection of different meats,shrimp, tofu, etc. Both dishes were outstanding and served hot and delicious. I ordered both dishes before the waitress brought the menus, but she came back to the table the make sure I knew my dish was hot and spicy. Maybe this white guy doesn’t know what he’s ordering, 😆😆? I thought it was funny. When the food was brought out they didn’t think we wanted the Kimchi, so I did ask for the Kimchi. Maybe they get a lot people who don’t know Korean food? We will return to this quant little restaurant in Evanston. Tap on the thumbs up 👍 below before you leave.
Stone pot kept the soon dubu jigae warm through the meal + great tofu. Tteokbokki was a little on the sweeter side, but still really good (better with some rice). Highlight of the meal was the budae jigae! Wish the portion was slightly bigger, though.
From the moment we walked in we were greeted with warm smiles and an inviting atmosphere. The bulgogi was excellent, nicely spiced and flavorful. The fried rice complimented the bulgogi wonderfully. The ramen noodles extra spicy were so good as I watched my 8 year old daughter devour almost the entire bowl! If you’re looking for a solid and tasty family owned restaurant this is it! Oh be sure to try the Jacob’s tear tea…perfect ending to a delicious lunch✨
Recently found this place driving by and came back for dinner. The atmosphere is inviting, staff is friendly, and the food is delicious! We tried the gungjung tteokbokki and seafood kalguksu and both were just perfectly flavored and so tasty. Some banchan was provided and refills were accommodated too so we had plenty of kimchi with our meal, super good. We'll be back and highly recommend!
This is the worst Korean restaurant in Chicago area. The pot was so small, and the soup is too spicy… it does not fit the price. and why give me a red pen for signature????? One star for this restaurant.
