Rice Goban - San Diego

We absolutely love the honey roasted chicken! However, I do wish there was a more accessible location. The parking situation is a bit challenging, and walking from UTC just for the honey fried chicken can be stressful. That being said, the fried chicken is incredibly delicious!

I absolutely love this place! I ordered the crispy tofu lunch box and it did not disappoint. For $15, I received a generous portion of fried rice, delicious and crispy tofu, along with a beautiful variety of banchan. The service was friendly and incredibly fast, and the food was simply delicious. My only regret is that I was so eager to eat my lunch that I forgot to take any pictures. Oh well, there’s always next time! I’m currently enjoying a meal from Rice Goban in Westfield UTC.

I visited this restaurant for the first time and I would definitely return. The hunch didn't have a strong flavor as I had expected, but it was still decent. The rice and all the added vegetables were enjoyable. The dumplings were also quite good.

Rice Goban is pretty good! More specifically, I can vouch for the bulgogi bibimbap: it's a marinated sliced rib eye beef over a bed of rice and a plethora of veggies. Then you add the gochu jang sauce (a Korean hot sauce with a slight sweetness to it), and mix it altogether. If you wanna take it to the next level, add a fried egg to the mix. It was a mad delicious lunch and kept me filled up so I didn't even desire dinner. Staff was cool too. Rice Goban in UTC mall, check it out specifically the bulgogi bibimbap bowl, for a dynamic taste experience.

Always super delicious filling! Love the flavors and multiple sides the bibimbap bowls come with!
