The menu was quite amazing never have I've seen fries, tacos and burrito in a korean resto. A big bold move to have this item infused with korean twist. Its also great that their korean meat dishes got 3 choices of how many grams do you want. This is a great idea for customer to be able to estimate how much to order. The meat also came with various choices of marinate. Nice so many choices.
For the food they let us try out some of their best seller
Kimchi Fries - your fave fries infused with kimchi and drizzled with cheese. I truly love the idea of this merging the crispy fries with the delicious taste of their kimchi. I also like the idea of Elaine O to add some Nori flakes for more flavor.
K-Taco - another great dish on their menu. Love the soft shell taco and the meat was delicious. The white sour cream sauce was also good!
Japchae - your typical Japchae but I like their version not too sweet unlike in another korean resto.
US Premium Beef - this one is not yet on their menu. They just gave us a sneakpeak of this item. This was my fave. I love the flavorful meat and blends well with the salted sesame oil. This one for sure will be one of their bestseller.
Original Pork Samgyupsal - Tasty pork belly. This one is best when dipped on ssamjang sauce and wrapped on lettuce with kimchi. Just like an original korean foodee.
Chilli Bean Pork Samgyupsal - same tasty pork belly but this time marinated on chilli bean. This is equally good as the original but I think a little more spiciness.
Caramelized Galbi - Caramelized chicken fillet. Double deep fried to give it a super crispy skin. A good choice to have a sweeter note after all the kimchi.
Sides - like all korean resto food came with various banchan (sidedishes). I love the delicious bone marrow soup. It was very tasty and refreshing. The Gyeran Mari (Egg Roll) was also good but I wish they would add Gyeranjjim (Steamed egg) in their sides. I also love their kimchi just right amount of spiciness.
Coffee Prince - One of my fave kdrama is now a dessert haha. This is a scoop of coffee icecream bed by graham and redbeans. Love the presentation. Good mix of bitter coffee and sweet red beans.
Overall love the great service and everything were delicious. Love how they kept refillig the sides and our bottomless icedtea. Exhaust was also good didn't smell bbq after the meal. If you are a fan korean food this is a great choice.
Great korean food, good ambiance, friendly and attentive staff. I've been to Kpub, Lee Hak, Don Day, and other Korean Resto, but Soban is still number 1 for me. Tried most of the food on their menu and my favorites are Dwaegi Bulgogi, Upjinsal, Dak Ganjeong, and Deung Galbi Kimchi Chigae. �
1st time today, SM North Edsa branch. Ordered bibimbap beef. It was good! Big thin strips of beef, not ground beef by the way. Friendly & attentive staffs ready with smiles! They refill my side dishes without me asking for it! Ambience is good! No smell of smoke inside. Overall, twas a nice experience! Looking forward for my next visit with my daughter! Keep up the good work guys! And keep the food great everytime! ���

Dined last 9/25 with a buddy of mine at ATC branch. I ordered Bibimbap and Woo Sang Yup 180g. Quality of food is superb and taste was great! Great value for money & excellent customer service too! I'll definitely come back and recommend it to my friends.
I have been to Korean Restaurants around Makati and SOBAN RESTO is one of the best Korean Resto in town. The food was great and tasty espcially their side dishes. ( i could not resist asking for refill ) The price is reasonable, the service is fast with nice, helpful and courteous servers roaming around ready to attend each customers needs. I will surely go back to this resto.

Thank you Soban K-Town Grill SM North. Very friendly and attentive yung mga staff especially Miss Emcee. � And super nag enjoy kami ni boyfie sa quality ng food �
Thank you looloo for the inviting us and soban ktown grill for having us try your upcoming beef set grill.
Dotz and two sisters explained to us how this resto turned out to be. They were inspired in LA to see a lot of booming restaurants and all those different concepts. One of those are the flavored sampyupsal in which they think would really hit high here in the Philippines. And so the kaladkarins are here to find it out.
kimchi fries 199php
This was first served to us while waiting for the rest of the gang. Lucky are those who arrives early cause they get to have the picture of the fries in its full glory, get to be served by the owners and get the fries at its best temperature ang goodness. Knowing that it is best eaten right away. The fries were a little too hard on the edges and super soft in the middle. You can only taste the kimchi and fries. I want more cheese though. I suggest a separate cheese dip aside.
side dishes
☀️ kimchi rice - i like this. Not so spicy. The corn and green bell pepper really smothers in my mouth. The spiciness kicks after a while. The bell peppers tame down the kimchi spiciness.
☀️ beef soup - no kidding this is really good! It does not look so beefy but better than bulalo. No added msg imo.
☀️ kimchi - i like this. Not so spicy. Bicolana
☀️ egg roll - tamago! Lol. Sweet tasting
☀️ fennel salad - sweet tasting salad good to go with the lettuce and doenjang.
☀️ lettuce and doenjang- doenjang is like the natto counterpart of Korea. It's fermented beans but just in a spicy tomato paste. This side is good to go with the USDA beef and all proteins set at the table. Wrap it up with the lettuce provided.
samgyupsal set 90 grams 315php
doenjang - fermented beans

original
soy garlic
wine
chili bean
Pork!! This is what you order to test soban's specialty. We tried the soy garlic and original. The Korean spices were really meat deep.
the USDA premium beef (tatsukono)
Get this already too! Thick beef chop marinated very very well. So tender too that you'll not have a hard time chewing it.
dak galbi set 90 grams 310php

spicy
doenjang
Grilled chicken! We tried the spicy and for me the spiciness is also tolerable. Meat is ok. Kinda was not able to appreciate the chicken here.
japchae 195php
Minatamis na pansit sabi nga ni marc. The vermicelli noodles were full. Can i call it aldente??! Haha. It's not so sweet. Not too oily too like as other chapchaes
k taco 75php per piece
The meat was super soft and the sour cream?! HEAVEN! Genius creation! Get one of this!
caramelized chicken
If you want chicken, try this... Cause this one is fried. Its skin is double fried so it's super crispy. Unlike bonchon this one is crispier and less artificial. I like the tender chicken as well.
mango banana shake
One round of this is enough. Served in a really tall glass. Mango then banana aftertaste. However the bananas was quite rough in the tongue. I go for the iced tea (green) it tastes apple and mint.
coffee prince 120php
Ah! Desserts! Homemade coffee ice cream on soft graham crust and Korean red bean bed. It tastes like adzuki beans. Well, similar din naman kasi ang Korean sa Japanese. The frosted chocolate on top is easily overlooked by the combination of the three.
It's absolutely a good place to hang out and catch up with friends. The place, although it's grill place, it is not smoky at all. They have a special pull down ventilation that could suck the smoke from the grille
No internet or CR inside, however there's a possibility magkaroon ng WIFI soon and the mall CR is near the area. Could accommodate around 40-50 customers. Will definitely be back fir the wine flavored samgyupsal and the beef set again!!!
The place is huge the food is delicious the staff is friendly and very accomodating.
It's our first time to eat here an i was impressed with their service, they served our food fast and very accomodating. The food is so amazing we tried also their K tacos its so nice.I would definitely comeback to dine in again.�
The sad thing about Soban is they do not have unlimited meat options because Soban’s meat is really fresh and delicious! It is better than most Korean restaurants. If you’re looking for a place to get good meat and not quantity and other Korean food (bibimbap, chicken, etc), Soban is one of the places to go-to
We got the Meat Combo for two and the serving was actually a lot! There was free rice, MEAT side dishes, korean omellete, drinks, soup, and the usual side dishes on top of quality meats
Good food, polite employees, clean branch.
Overall, service is great. Staff are very pleasant especially whenever they greet their guests. Also they are very attentive. It is the most impactful part of the whole dining experience.
food and service is great.. unli side dishes.. highly recommended
I love their Woo Samgyup! ❤️ Place is really neat. I also like that place is not that hot compared to other Korean Grill Restos.
Enjoyed the service, food, and ambience. They have well trained staff. We will definitely come back.
Best samgyupsal in town, affordable price, courteous staff, clean place, and super delicious pork belly and side dishes. Will definitely recommend Soban to my friends. Will keep coming back 😋😍😊
Food was great. And all the staff are accommodating. Babalik balikan to. Promise!
The ambiance is so nice. The service and the crew are nice, approachable and well mannered. It is a best place to eat at if your are a samgyupsal lover. Overall I give it a thumbs up.
Good place to eat samgyup! Very approachable crew and nice service! ❤😍😍
excellent service and the approachable crew👍❤️
Polite food attendants! Good job 🙂
Good beef and pork. Tasty. Fresh lettuce and I love their steamed egg. All staffs are commendable. Danica served us well.
Amazing korean restauraunt...
Ms.Danica is helpful....
Excellent customer service from Ms. Danica...Recommended
Best meat and nice ambiance. Service is good. Ms Danica is commendable for fast and accurate lservice. Will definetely go back.
Here goes my first review on Zomato. Amazing bbq restaurant! And relatively good pricing! Came here for early dinner with the family, and got the package good for 4! Best bbq restau so far.
Actually the soban grill very absolutely nice and good. The ambiance its so nice to be seated hehe. And lastly the foods its so very amazing and yummy, tasty.
Worth it for the price. The soup is good and different from the usual soup in kbbqs. The black pepper samgyup is good too. Only wish the place was bigger.
Abundant in meat, lettuce, and soup. Cheese dip was on point. The place was smokeless. The fried chicken was tasty. But the cherry on top were the friendly staff. Thank you, Danica and Michael.
Our table is packed with foods. Korean food cravings satisfied. Staff is very accodomating specially Ms Danica :)
Thank you for the great service Ms.Danica.
Thanks to ate Danica for Assisting us. Very kind and jolly.
They have immediate service. A food good enough to be gluttoned by many. Thanks to Waiter Danica for the service. 🙂
The ambience of the place is comforting, as well as the seats. Of course the price is a little expensive though it is worthy for they serve good and flavorful food.. The customer service as well (i.e Ms. Danica)
Very attentive and polite servers. Quality of meat and side dishes are excellent. Soban is a great Korean grill place--would definitely come back!
Rustic vibe resto. Meats were nice and did not lack flavor,👍🏻 Place were neat and they have attentive servers.

Staff are very accommodating. There are a lot of side dishes and the meat is more than enough for two people.
Service is great! Still operating even if mall has no electricity
The Premium BBQ set is super sulit! Best place to eat kbbq without the pressure of eating at an unli place.
The quality of the meat is superb, especially the marbled beef. Super sarap din ng kimchi chigae. The service is also exceptional in this branch. I highly recommend this restaurant and will come back.
Friendly staff and relatively quiet place. Dishes are served quickly.
Surprisingly, no waiting time, given that the branch is inside a mall. Service crew were very accomodating, and easy to approach. I really enjoyed the food we ordered & will definitely go back again because all of the food were just for P700 and it's already for two. Full details on my experience is on my blog website.
Anyways. Soban K-town grill is a very affordable Samgyup to go restaurant which means will definitely go back again.
The place was clean & lesser smoke. The staff are very friendly, organized and accomodating. . The meat are healthier, fresher and with quality. Our children enjoyed the experience. Very unique. We will definitely come back again
The tenderness of their beef is good , service is good , ambiance and cleanliness is good .
They know how to control the smoke coming put from the grill , not so smokey the entire resto ...
We enjoy the food , and will be coming back for more ...
Hmmm will recommend to frens and relatives too !!!
Let’s eat !!!

Love the vibes here, always go here with friends and co workers 😍😍
Very accomodating staff and i love their samgyupsal and steamed egg.. :)
The place is literally screams the notion of “you get what you pay for”. Not the typical Korean bbq restaurant that is very common around town. There are a lot of reason why I always come back to this place.
1. Very spacious and provides privacy to every customer.
2. Clean and very tidy place compared to the typical smoky and crowded place of a Korean bbq restaurant.
3. Very unique side dishes and I really love their bone marrow soup, definitely a must try! They also have high grade meats and unique flavours of it.
4. Price may be expensive but it definitely provides a fancy experience.
5. I will never forget how accommodating all the service crew as well.
The food will not only satisfy your cravings but you’ll walk out the store with a full stomach and smile on face plus complete satisfaction.
Final verdict - EVERYONE MUST VISIT AND TRY! 😊
It was our first time to dine in at Soban here at Robinsons Place Manila. The price is quite high compared to other samgyup resto we’ve been to but it’s reasonable. What made us decide to try is that you can take home the meats you weren’t able to finish, the desserts are delectable, and side dishes were heavenly. The gimbap rolls are awesome. Basta every thing is worth it. The staffs were friendly and approachable and were nice, too. The place is cozy and impressive, too. We’ll dine again soon.
Great food value for money. Sobrang accomodating ni Danica in introducing us to great deals.
I really love soban that's why I always invite my friends here every weekend 😍
Love eating here and love the samgyupsal and steamed egg ❤️
Normally, we always had our samgyup outside streets and not in the mall., but there is one samgyup store I'd really love to go back again, prices are little bit costly for 1 time round of pork and beef, but all side dishes are worthy on your taste buds.
For the love of Korean grills and stuff, i would say that Soban will definitely add on my lists. And i am looking forward going back here again.
Great food, great customer service!
Out of all the korean bbq SOBAN is one of the best out there. Aside from good Food, You'll Also get a nice service from the waiters/waitress.😍😍😍 Highly recommended.
I super love the place! Aside from the very accommodating staffs, their food is very luscious. Will definitely eat again here! Good job Soban! ♥️
Highly recommended samgyupsal place and very accommodating staff.
Very delicious korean food...
Thank you for the service, Soban Ermita!
I really liked how they unlimited sides and the food was good. Everything had good flavor! I tried the the Bim Bap Chicken, and it was good!
Always come back to the different branches. Love the service and the food. Always one of the best places to go if you are craving for some samgyupsal 😊
The food are tasty and not that oily, they also have many side dishes which you can enjoy especially when you order their favorite bbq set, they are also delicious . The crew and staffs are friendly.
This is my first time dining in Soban and it did not disappoint! I love the meat and the side dishes! Plus, the staff is very friendly and accommodating ♥️
Been coming here to Soban at Rob Manila since it opened. Meat quality is the great and the price is affordable. the banchans are also very tasty and go very well together with the meats.

I have eaten here a number of times in different branches. The quality of the meat is very good and there are a variety of choices. The portions are also generous. I also like their banchan choices. The servers in Robinsons Place Manila are very kind and accommodating.
Was craving some Korean barbecue. Experienced service, extremely worth it for the price, and most of all, delicious! Would definitely go back here!
Soban K-Town Grill is my top favorite restaurant in term of offering samgyupsal food. I like that they offer omelet as side dish since im a fan of egg rolls, and unexpectedly I like the taste of it! Their kimchi is cold enough the way I want it and for the meat, it's my kind of holy grail - very fresh, soft and tasty! Im very picky when it terms to the meat that any samgyupsal restaurant offers, but this one really hit my taste. I would definitely come back often. Probably number 1 in the samgyupsal list! ❤️❤️❤️
The presentation of the food is great and very easy to access during cooking. The food is so delicious. I would like to go back for more. The place is neat at have a very accomodating and nice staffs.
Great food! Servers treat the customers well to make them feel the real soban experience. Great experience overall!

Quality of meat from other unlimited kbbq is noticeably better; you can taste the quality; the beef broth paits well with the rice, and it's unlimited so yayy! The service we received was quick and we had our food arrive at. the 10-15 minute mark (other than the pajeon which i believe was made to order). My favourite is still their chicken though, which ha sthe right amount of sweetness and is very crispy
