Soban

When you go to Soban you will take notice of the many framed reviews and accolades that serve as its sole décor, you’ll realize you’re in for a treat. Even amid tough Koreatown competition, Soban is known for its banchan.

The menu changes frequently and is extremely amazing, with everything from classic kimchi to sautéed eggplant. Soban, a seafood staple, can't go wrong, starting with an incredible assortment of banchan to start each meal. Pan-fried fish and spicy braised black cod are among the menu's highlights, which come in either a garlicky soy sauce or a thick spicy red pepper sauce (or opt for the spicy beef short ribs instead). The house specialties, such as ganjang gejang (raw crab pickled with soy, garlic, and ginger) and galbi jjim (sweet and soft braised short rib stew), are popular choices.
