Ho Ban Korean Restaurant is a popular spot for Korean cuisine, especially known for their Korean fried chicken. Customers enjoy the variety of flavors, with soy garlic being a favorite for its crunchiness and texture. The restaurant also features pork bone soup, which has a flavorful broth and plenty of meat.

Recent reviews highlight the quick and friendly service, with waitresses always smiling. Customers have tried several dishes and found some surprises, like Y07 and Y05 jajangmyeon, which they found surprisingly good. The braised pork hooks Durban could be improved by adding vegetables like romaine lettuce. However, some were disappointed with T07, as they didn’t like the sour flavor, vegetables, or clear noodles, which do not match the authentic version that uses instant noodles. Overall, most dishes are seen as better, especially the Korean fried chicken and the soup.
The bibimbap received praise for its presentation and taste, especially when ordered through delivery services like Uber Eats. However, some noted that eating in the restaurant or picking up might be less expensive. The soup, Gamjatang, is considered fantastic, and the service staff is praised for always providing side dishes and fresh water. The only minor issue is that the chicken in the bb bimbab is a small portion, but the overall experience remains positive.
