Amazing food. Ginseng chicken is so hard to find on the East Coast and this place absolutely killed it! Very satisfied with the beef bulgogi as well - well marinated and tender.

Service wasn't good. One of the members of our party didn't get his food for a while, and when they finally did bring it, it wasn't what he ordered. No apology or anything. Food was okay, except for dessert. Tiramisu tasted like plain cake and was literally frozen in the middle. They gave me a 30% discount on it. Won't be back.

Mokban Korean Bistro is a fantastic spot for a casual meal or a date night. The food is quite tasty, showcasing a range of flavors that are sure to please. However, I found that some dishes could benefit from slight improvements. For instance, the chicken wings we tried were a bit on the soggy side, which detracted from their potential.
Overall, though, I had a great dining experience and would definitely recommend Mokban if you’re in the mood for Korean cuisine. The inviting atmosphere and delicious offerings make it worth a visit!

Wow, this pork belly is perfection. Juicy and fatty but not greasy, with incredible texture. The flavor isn’t super authenticity Korean (not spicy), and panchan are clearly not made in-house, but the dishes are delicious in their own right. Portion sizes are generous too. Don’t miss this spot!
Really cute atmosphere and some of the best korean food I've had in Rhode Island! We had the Kalbi Ssam, Kimchi Pajeon, and Kimchi Jjigae. All were awesome, and we washed down with Makgeolli. The only detractor is we weren't able to get ahold of the server too frequently; but when we did need things the entire staff was helpful and attentive.
Parking: We had to drive around a bit to find a street spot, but there were paid lots with plenty of space (we just didn't want to pay)

An outstanding menu with so many excellent options. I've had a few different things on the menu now and it's all been quality. Outside a good selection of beverages I love their teas. Plum tea is a favorite for sure.
The atmosphere is cozy yet stylish and a great place for a date or just to chow down by yourself. Pricing ranges depending on what you're getting but considering the food quality and being in downtown Providence I think the value is great. Give this a try whether you're new to Korean cuisine or a seasoned fan.
Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian sides and a variation of options on their menu. They also ask about dietary restrictions enhancing the options further.
Dietary restrictions: They accommodate respective restrictions.

Pretty good food, but I wish the side dishes included… kimchi. I also don’t know how I feel about automatic 20% gratuity for 4+ parties. But the decor was super Instagram-story-worthy.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant is spacious with interesting decor.
I got the spicy Korean beef stew (yukgaejang). It wasn't anything special. It had button mushrooms, which I've never had before in this dish. The soup was decent but it tasted like ramen powder rather than having depth of flavor. In contrast, I thought the army stew (budaejjigae) that my family got had a much more rich and tasty soup. We didn't think the side dishes were anything special.
I also got a pomegranate shaved ice soju drinnk. The shaved ice was more like a snow cone with little chunks of ice rather than smooth ice shavings, so rather than being like a slushie, the ice gradually melted into the drink. It was still yummy, just not what I was expecting.
Overall I think this is a pretty solid option with a good variety of Korean dishes. I'm not sure if I would choose to come back here since it wasn't particularly notable.
Good food and service
