About Soban

A small room in Koreatown where the banchan arrives before you have touched the menu. This is Korean home cooking at its most exemplary, featuring ganjang gejang (soy-marinated raw crab, rich with fermented roe and brine), galbi jjim braised for two full days until the meat gives, and a spicy black cod that has been the best seller since they opened.
