Sorabol Restaurant - Korean restaurant in Newport News - 13286 Warwick Blvd, USA

The taste of the food is phenomenal, one of the best authentic Korean restaurant I've ever been. The service is just OK. She seems not so friendly, not smile and talk much, but quick and get our orders right. Price is high just like all other Korean restaurant so that's epected and acceptable. Overall, I would always come back for the food, and highly recommended for trying it out.

The food was delicious and the service was quick! They were really accommodating with changing some things around in the menu for a vegetarian friendly option. Would recommend the kimbap and japchae without the meat if you are vegetarian. As well as the vegetable stir fry. The portions were a decently big size for the prices 👍🏻 10/10

The place is definitely cozy and feels like a mom and pop place. For one server running orders, food, and checks, she was very charismatic and made sure everyone was taken care of with water refills, taste of food, and billing. I ordered a beef bulgogi which came with the banchan of kimchi, pickled veggies, and blanched veggies. It wasn't the usual bulgogi taste, but more of a kbbq taste. My family ordered the dongasu, japchae, and soondubu jigae — which were delicious and filling. For me the standout was the soondubu jigae with its rich taste and soft tofu. This was a great meal, and a little pricier for dinner.

I was craving for grilled mackerel. Sorabol was a good place to order it. The scallion pancake was good too. My friend said Bibimpap was underwhelming which precluded me from giving 5 stars. The place also needs updating - it would help. They still have a Christmas wreath ... in July! Maybe that's what it was for!??? Carpeting is outdated, tourist brochures are displayed...There were benches to the side but the backs were purportedly artistically angled, they seem broken! Service was good. Love it that they give you the little side dishes. Wish they had the been sprouts or potatoes.

Quality: I've lived in Korea and this food was pretty spot on! Portions: I was impressed by the amount of food we got on most meals. I wish the fish dish was a bit bigger but nothing to really complain about. Price: They do NOT offer lunch portions on Sunday, make sure to pay attention to that on the menu. Standard prices for an international meal. Expect $15-30 a person. Environment: Looks like they do karaoke which is pretty cool. It's a regular quaint restaurant. No issues with anything. Service: I didn't go while it was busy but for lunch over the weekend the service was GREAT. Recommendation: Yes indeed. I'll return

This is my first time in this Korean restaurant. It did not have the same vibe as a lot of other Korean establishments. Here, I almost feel like I am eating over at Grandma's house having a home cooked meal. The food here is not about esthetics, but it captures you in the mouth at first bite. I will surely visit again!

We have been eating here for about 10 years and has never let us down. The owners are wonderful the food is delicious. Your meal is prepared fresh when ordered no reheating. We refuse to eat anywhere else because we are always disappointed because this bar is set so high.

Service was great and fast. For just one lady serving everyone in the restaurant I think it was very speedy. Kimbap was delicious. My husband's bulgogi was tender, flavorful and not overly salty. My kimchi jigae was pretty good but a little too salty for me. Would definitely come back to try other dishes when we are in the area again.
