I love this place. It really made me fall in love with Korean food. My only wish is that they had more vegetarian or vegan options, but that is not as common in the cuisine. At least In most Korean restaurants located in the midwest.I had to Bebeau bowl, which comes out in a hot stone bowl so the rice gets crispy. It is served with all of the kimchi and other little side dishes. Those home make the mail worth it. I really enjoy the food, but only wish it was closer.

Super yummy Korean food but the service could def be improved.The food was super delish. Very authentic with large portions to share. The only downside was the service. We were waiting a really really long time for our food and our server kept ignoring us. We had to keep flagging the server to get refills but he literally kept running to the back lol. On top of that, he forgot one of our items which came out wayyyy later after we finished eating. Such a bummer because the food is soooo good. :(

I have been going to Hoban for over 16 years and I still love it. The galbi was charred and sticky sweet.the banchan was deli as usual and the kimchi panjeon were delicious. I really wasn't too impressed with their wings but I guess you can't win them all.

Came here for my final dinner before leaving back home the next day. It wasn't a too far drive from Mall of America and had better food options than the ones there.The service was great. The greeted us and sat us down promptly. There was only 2 other parties there besides me, my sister and Mom. Apparently there is a karaoke next door but idk if there were people there or not cause I didn't hear anything so it didn't bother us.The food was out in under 10 minutes and it was HOT and steamy. The side dishes were good but I didn't care much for them because the food was good and I didn't have room for them. The only one I didn't like too much was the beans. It was good at first but after the 3rd bite, I didn't care for it anymore.My mom ordered the chicken fried rice and it was delicious! Just like a Korean restaurant back home. It was seasoned just right.My pork bulgogi was ok. I would've like the meat cut thinner so I wouldn't look all crazy when I eat it. There were raw onions and mushrooms on it as well. I would've liked them cooked a bit because I don't like raw mushrooms. It was not spicy at all though. And kind of flavor-less other than it had enough salt.The soondoobu was delicious too! I got the beef one and had the same meat issues as with the pork bulgogi. I would've liked it cut thinner as well. It would've absorbed the soup more and not be so tough when I eat it. That was the only issue tough. The broth and everything else about it was great.Food was good enough so that I would come here again if I was ever in town.

One of the og Korean restaurants around the twin cities area that's been around for years. I've been here copious amounts of times, each time I come it's because I'm craving the galbi and soon dubu jichae. I think the service has gotten better over the past few years. They are more attentive with your water, adding side dishes and the food comes out relatively fast even when the restaurant seems relatively busy. The pajeon was okay this time I had it, it was pretty soft which I prefer a bit crisper. The galbi and grilled mackerel were the stars of the show, the galbi was nicely charred and cooked to a medium wellness soo good. I was disappointed in the soon dubu jigae, way too salty this time. The japchae noodles were good, not sure if I'd get it every time because I've made it better myself at home, the noodles were a little overdone to my liking. This restaurant looks and feels older with the outdated carpets and booths. However, it does give you your Korean food fix! I like their kimchi here too.

Went here for karaoke. It's super fun for karaoke but the food was pretty greasy with smaller portions. The servers were quick to bring in food and drink. Just wish the food was a bit better!

Been coming here for years as it is the only decent Korean restaurant south of the Twin Cities. Not all the dishes are a home run and some are not made in house. Over the years, some things have changed. The shrimp tempura is not as good as prior years etc. Here is what I do order when I'm here: Kalbi (marinated beef short ribs) with extra charCold spicy buckwheat noodles (my fav)Spicy seafood tofu stewSpicy calamari stir frySeafood pancake (hit or miss)Side dishes that are free-not as good as other placesService is good but I've had it bad as well. Plenty of free parking in the strip mall. Large and spacious dining room for large parties, although the carpet could use a good deep cleaning.

My husband and I ate here about six years ago when we were in town for a conference. We loved the food at that time and talked about it. 6 years later we get an opportunity to visit again and we could not remember the name of the restaurant. I searched for a place with similar food we remembered and we were happy to see it was the restaurant we wanted! We got to take our daughter because she wanted bibimbap and she loved it. Great service also. Everyone was very friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and we enjoyed our meals. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area!

Stopped by Hoban a couple of months ago with some friends after a night out at the connected Karaoke shop Do Re Mi. There is another location of Hoban in Uptown Minneapolis where I used to live so I had some expectations going in, although that one is focused on KBBQ where you grill at your own table.The menu is pretty good with a lot of options and what seemed to be something for everyone which was great as we had a large group with a lot of picky eaters and people with dietary restrictions. Also, without any reservation, the restaurant and waiters were kind enough to accommodate us and push tables together despite it being pretty crowded.I decided like trying something new so I got the Chicken Katsu which I know is more of a Japanese dish than Korean, but felt like trying something new here that I hadn't had at the other location. After we ordered, they brought out banchan for us which were super delicious. A good mixture of spicy, savory, and sweet dishes. These were great to keep us satisfied while we waited for our dishes.The chicken katsu was good - nice and crispy, not super dry on the inside and with a few little veggies on the side. It was good and decently filling. Not the best Katsu ever but a solid choice for a meal. I think most people in the group left thinking similarly to me, that it was a solid meal.
