Sorabol Korean Restaurant Reviews
It was a good place. Now out of business.
First time eating there. It went well. Lots of things to choose from. Now that I have experienced Sorabol I will know more about what to expect.
2025: I have been told that the restaurant will close end of February for renovations. I was also told that the owner may choose to retire due to the projected time for renovations to be completed. A nice restaurant. Hope it reopens.
This is one of the few places in Honolulu that I could find ginseng chickens soup albeit a bit on the pricy side at $28 a pop. Ginseng prices must have gone up without notifying me. Such is life.

Sorabol Korean Restaurant is known for its delicious and flavorful dishes. Popular menu items include Combo Kalbi & Fish Jun, Kalbi, Soondubu Jiggae, Seafood Pancake, and Chop Chae. The spicy tofu soup can be made extra spicy upon request, and the restaurant offers a variety of fresh side dishes to complement each entree. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure to accommodate customers' requests. The cozy atmosphere features Koi ponds that add to its unique charm. Customers particularly enjoy the Kalbi, Grilled Yellow Corvina Fish, Tongue, and Beef Tartare. Portion sizes are generous, and the quality of ingredients is top-notch, even if some dishes like bul go gi may not meet everyone's expectations. Overall, the service is excellent, with servers who remember returning customers and ask about their families. The restaurant is a nice place to experience authentic Korean cuisine in a welcoming environment. Currently, it is scheduled for renovations, and there is hope it will reopen afterward.
