Soban Korean Cuisine — Restaurant in Petaluma

COVID-19 Update: The food is still incredible here and now they have soft-serve available for take-out at the restaurant by the pint! Take advantage of being forced to do take-out and get Ssam, lettuce leaves for wraps and a spicy paste to go on your lettuce, to go with one of your entrees and practice your skills without the risk of public embarrassment. Then, when we can all go out to eat again we can show off our impressive chops at creating delicious little bites of amazingness! If Ssam is an unfamiliar concept check out videos from Serious Eats and Eater for some instruction on eating Korean BBQ with Ssam! The food here is AMAZING! I've tried most of the menu and can say unequivocally that it is all delicious. The spicy dishes are SPICY, so those with a low threshold should take note. Try some cold soups or noodles on a hot day, be a little adventurous: You will not be disappointed! The proprietor is one of the nicest, most welcoming, restaurateurs you will meet and if you go in for take-out you might get treated to some K-Pop on the stereo in the restaurant. Kicking myself for not eating here sooner. Make sure to get the side...

My wife and I have been to Soban in Petaluma about 7 times since it opened up a little over a month ago, and every time it's been fantastic! Originally we are from Southern CA — and having sought out some of the best Korean restaurants between San Diego and LA, and having lived in/traveled South Korea for several months, I have some pretty high expectations for good Korean food, and Soban is among the best Korean restaurants I've tried. Having said that, in regards to traditional Korean food in the Bay Area, it's second to none.

Additionally, it's pretty cool that Soban is family-owned and operated — run by a husband and wife team who are some of the kindest and sincere people we've ever met. Also, as a self-defined beer connoisseur, they have a surprisingly awesome selection of craft beer; even some from San Diego, which I loved. Anyway, I highly recommend trying Soban Korean Cuisine, whether you're craving Korean food or you just need a...

Personally I wouldn't recommend the double fried chicken It didn't taste right It was so dry it started cutting the back of my throat and when I asked the waiter if this was normal all they said was there should be sauce on the bottom and walked away before I could request extra sauce. He was incredibly rude dismissive the entire visit. I never did finish my meal and as leftovers they only got worse. Some of the other items we got were fine. But with the increase in price clearly shown on the menu drawn over with sharpie I expect quality. This was not that was it merely a bad day for the chefs I don't know but with how bad that chicken was I won't be having anyone in my life or myself waste money on that, chicken should never be that dry. In a good waiter would check on their guest asking how everything was if there was a problem and what they could do to make it better. Not making them so uncomfortable that...
