What ate l doesn't like about Soban Korean BBQ:
We are looking for a buffet restaurant in downtown but because of covid we ended up with this little place. It was our first time to try this restaurant in downtown. The server there i think was the owner and she was nice. They have lunch specials and it was a heavy meal though the meat part of the lunch special is a bit few but it was good. We will try to come back and try their other food next time. Their bathroom... View all feedback. What SamuelFHuang likes about Soban Korean BBQ:
Came here with a colleague for lunch on a Wednesday. Was not too busy and we were seated right away. The menu had a good selection of items (not terribly extensive) but adequate. They have Lunch Special offering in a bento style box which is a good thing as sometimes dinner options can be very filling. I ordered the Galbi Bentio (short ribs) my favourite. It was very yummy. It came with some shredded lettuce for sala... View all feedback.

The restaurant itself is very small with about 10-15 tables so make sure you come before rush hour (12:00/30pm) to get seats.

A good little place inside Dragon City Mall, with decent dishes. I have been there for lunch and for dinner and was not disappointed.

This is one of our favorite places for Korean food. The fried chicken and tofu soup are delicious and so flavorful. Great place to try.

Located in downtown, this buffet-style restaurant offers a delightful dining experience, despite initial reservations due to COVID-19 restrictions. The friendly owner, who also serves as a server, adds a personal touch to the service. While some dishes may lack seasoning, the lunch specials are a hit, with the spicy pork and tempura receiving special mention. The cozy bathroom adds to the charm of the place. The menu offers a range of traditional Korean dishes, with varying reviews on the soybean soup - a hit or miss item. Prices are average, with the lunch special in a bento-style box being a popular choice. Overall, the restaurant provides a pleasant atmosphere for a business lunch or casual dining, with efficient service and delicious food that leaves patrons satisfied and planning a return visit.
