Charming
Neighbourhood gem

“Best Korean Restaurant in Los Angeles” - Timeout Los Angeles December 2023

“And the gooey raw crab, marinated in Soban’s own mild homemade soy sauce, is among the very best reasons to visit Koreatown, a sweetly caressing jolt of salt and umami that may be unlike anything you have ever tasted.”
-Jonathan gold

Authentic Korean food using traditional techniques, with a large variety of banchan - made in-house daily.
Soban is led by a mother-daughter team. The menu is a celebration of Korean flavors, featuring signature dishes like Galbi jjim (braised short ribs), Braised Black Cod, and Soy Marinated Raw Crab.
With Michelin Guide recognition and features in LA Times' Best Restaurants ('20,'21,'22,’23), JGOLD 101 ('13,'15,'16,'17), and Eater LA's 38 Essentials, and more.
