Koreatown

Why We Like It

It’s hard to say what’s better at this Koreatown favorite, the raw soy-marinated crab (ganjang gejang) or the braised black cod, but get them both, along with fantastic braised short ribs, an amazing array of banchan, and other soulful dishes. The space is tight and rarely empty, and the service swift yet friendly.

Need to Know

There is a parking lot directly behind the restaurant. You may park on Olympic Blvd. before 3pm and after 7pm on weekdays. Weekends - feel free to park on Olympic at any time. Thank you!

About Soban

“The Best Korean Restaurant in Los Angeles” by Timeout LA Dec 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.
