Hoban Korean Restaurant

Not too bad. I have pretty high standards since I have been eating Korean food since I was a child. I felt like they did most of it right, but some of the flavors were just off. I ate there 3 different times and had three different entrees, the bulgogi being the best (but still dry). For the location I'd say quite good, overall in comparison to what I have had in my lifetime not so much.…

Not so good, average. I went to this restaurant because the review was good and I had Oxtail soup for dinner and I also had Dukmandoo-guk for take out. The oxtail soup was not taste. It has to be boiled for a long time, but it was not. Also, the Oxtail did not seem fresh. The taste of side dish was not that good, and the service was too slow.

Once they server your food, they never come back until you ask them to bring the check.

The decoration of the restaurant was so poor.

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

By the way, my parents used to operate Korean restaurant in Korea and my aunt opened the first Korean restaurant in NYC. They are retired now. So, I really know the taste of Korean food.…

Best Korean Food!. Hoban is one of the best Korean restaurants that I have ever been to. I always bring new friends here and they too get addicted! I enjoy their huge selection of entrees, and it's fun to try something new. However, their jungols are super huge, so I think you should always bring a friend. Their portions and pricing is ridiculously awesome! (Compared to some other korean restaurants.)

Service is always great! However, they have some days when it can be better, but I understand since most of those days are the weekends, when it's the most busiest. Yet, they still give good service!…

Get there early for the lunch buffet. They bring Korean sides or condiments to your table in little bowls such as Kimchi, bean sprouts, shredded white radish and a few others. About half their customers are Asian who often order from the menu.

I have been there maybe 10 or 12 times and have had to put up with waiting for the buffet to be resupplied with food more than a few times.

This last time I invited a friend and while I managed to get decent plate full, he returned from the buffet with meager pickings. He became unhappy with the long wait to eat. We decided to go to another restaurant to eat and offered to pay for one meal about $8 and politely explained why. We were brusquely told to pay the full price and that we could have waited.…
