Hoban | Korean Restaurant

Good prices on good food! Our usual is Deep fried squid, dolset (hot bowl) pork bibim bap, kimchi fried rice w/chicken or pork & our newest favorite it Toppoki (Korean rice cake) w/potoati starch noodles & fishcake. Yummy 😋

The food was very underwhelming. Like the Galbi was just super watery and the mushrooms totally not cooked that were in it. The scallion pancake was bomb. Just made me miss LA Korean restaurants 😅

A lovely hidden gem for authentic Korean food in Eagan! Me and my partner drive out from Downtown St. Paul just to visit. Service is very quick, and staff is always attentive. I highly recommend the crispy kimchi pajeon and the sweet and sour chicken; it's unlike any sweet and sour you've ever had, truly mouth watering. Meat is very clean and not gamey at all. Prices are very fair especially for the large amount of food that you receive.

1st time back in a while and I don't think I'll be back ever again. The kimchi jjigae was actually awful and bland, I do not know what, how or why. That quality for the price is crazy work.

Best Korean food I have had in the Twin cities.

I ate early dinner at Hoban in Eagan with three friends. They have the largest variety I've seen on a Korean restaurant menu near the Twin Cities. Though I admit I've only been to a handful of Korean restaurants around here.

I had the kimchi bokkeum and two others at the table had dolsot bibim bap with tofu. Our meals were perfect.

Our fourth diner ordered a seafood dish that had some problems with the preparation and needed to be returned. The server dealt with the issue without any drama and the replacement meal was perfect.

The decor is simple and the seating was comfortable enough. The table fit our four individual dishes and the banchan. It might have been a tight squeeze if we had ordered a hot pot meal, but maybe if our friends who arrived first had said we planned to order hot pot, we might have been seated at a larger table.

As I mentioned, the server dealt with a problem with a dish with grace. He was also attentive without being annoying and ready to answer questions about the menu if we weren't familiar with Korean food.

I'd come back to try the scallion pancake, japchae, and some soups if I lived in the area.

Always disappointed by this restaurant. Called the restaurant for pick up. Puts on hold for 10 minutes after I ask for pick up , so I hang up, call again. They said they don't do pick up order, even though they have ordering services. I understand if you're busy and you can't take orders, but don't waste people's time with some bull shit excuses. 별 2개짜리 맛 레스토랑이 서비스는 ?창렬임.

Wanted to share my Uber Eats order experience. The driver was nice and efficient but the restaurant is cheap. For the price I paid for my food, they gave Zero condiments. I ordered 3 dishes totally over $70 and they did not provide any of the condiments they would have served in the restaurant. To me, that’s cheap and rude business practice. I will take my business elsewhere from now now. I ordered, kimchi Chigae, katsu chicken and pork bulgogi and they gave Zero condiments.

The quality of food and service at this place has certainly declined over the past two years. I live nearby and used to order from here occasionally. However, 75% of the time, my order would be incorrect or missing items. I usually order the spicy squid stir-fry and never once have I gotten my order packed correctly. All the squid and red sauce would seap through the styrofoam box and leak all over the bag. Which then would get all over my countertops and I’d have to salvage whatever is still edible. It's truly disappointing.

The staff also aren't very friendly and don't seem to care much about providing good service. There are much better Korean restaurants in the Twin Cities area.

Food was unappetizing. Cooking frozen dumplings from Costco would’ve tasted better unfortunately. The stone pot bibimbap barely had any chicken and the sauce was very bland.
