ordered their spicy rice cakes via uber eats and added cheese to it too! the sauce was very different to what i am used to, it was much sweeter and not that spicy at all. it came with super thicc ricecakes, sweet potato noodles and lots of fishcakes. so sad that an egg isn’t included though!
Such yummy food, love the side dishes they bring out and also hot miso soup yummm. Price are reasonable though you will be satisfied when leaving
Honestly my favourite Korean restaurant in Melbourne. Nice and cosy, super friendly staffs, and delicious Korean traditional foods, you’ll love it if you love Korean food. I will definitely visit again to try out more foods there. Highly recommend!

Super love the pork bone potato soup in this restaurant!!! I could can here all the way from Mordialloc to Oakleigh only for the soup! They also provide free soup for you, really sweet services.
Soban has been my go to korean restaurant in oakleigh for two years and still going.
I always order the beef bibibamp and the beef bulgolgi.
Everything is affordable that does not break your bank and the meat is so delicious.
The beef is nicely marinated, it gives it so much flavour and it is succulent.
My bibibamp is usually my lunch meal, it keeps me very full, the fried egg, beef and rice are a great combination together.
Happy to have found a new favourite Korean restaurant. We ordered a soft tofu stew (requested for less seafood) and vegetable japchae, both of which were delicious.
The soup stew arrived with a generous portion of tofu, accompanied with very nicely cooked (purple/grain) rice. We've always had white rice at other Korean restaurants so this unexpected serve was thoroughly welcomed and enjoyed. For sides, I've tried better sides elsewhere but this wasn't a deal breaker.
The japchae was GOOD. Not too oily; the perfect combination of noodles and a variety of vegetables.
Overall, I appreciated how the food (at least what we ordered) was less salty compared to other Korean dine-ins I've tried in Melbourne and would definitely return and try other dishes.
Also, good to know that they accept cards although on amounts above $35, but even better—we spotted ATMs just meters away.

Taste like mom makes;
Although no pictures but must try jjim dak & gang dwen jang ssam bap! Bests :) Pork cutlet and soups, side dishes are nice too.
Soban is an authentic Korean restaurant located next to the oakleigh station. The restaurant is small but the service is outstanding. The waitress spoke good English and was able to modify my dishes to meet my diet requirement. The side dishes were tasty and came in generous amount. The spicy tofu stew was very flavourful and worth for a try if you like spicy soup. This place only takes cash.
Went for lunch with my husband today, overall experience was quite good. The lady was nice and considerate, even asked my husband if he needs knife and fork, not much Korean restaurant asked for that before. Pork Kimchi pancake was a highlight and we think it's the best we ever have. I ordered seafood tofu stew, it was alright but little bit too spicy for me. The side dishes are quite unique and tasted very fresh and yummy. Will come back again!
We went there on valentine night, Average food but really nice service. The place is quite small and dark atmosphere. Overall, we had a nice experience there
Nice service that does vegetarian food (kimchi and everything doesn't have anchovy).
Serving size is a bit small for the price, although it is a good size if you don't have a big stomach.
Hadn't been here in a while. Seems to have changed management since last time I visited, but the bibimbap was still great.
Food was good (but not the best!) and prices were reasonable. You can park near the train station or oakleigh central if you can't find a parking lot along the road side.
Literally one of my favourite authentic Korean restaurants to go to, its beautifully hidden in the Oakleigh district amongst all the Greek food. The food is amazing, and staff are lovely. Definitely recommend checking the place out. The place is abit old and more for a causal setting but overall definitely a delight! 🙊
Great local Korean restaurant!! Highly recommend.
Great food. Very quick. We ordered the bento box and it was very tasty.
Visited a few times this trip to Melbourne.
Very good food, the best ingredients.
Had the best TakDooriTang I have ever had - and I live in Korea so this is no mean feat.
Unobtrusive service. Not expensive. BYO OK.
Modest place still open for takeaway during lockdown II. Tasty options across a variety of Korean specialties. Hopefully we can visit soon rather than eating out of plastic containers brought home.
