Second time here and everything was just as delicious as last time. We got a different server today and she was as attentive, quirky, and patient as our last one. We ordered food cooked in their kitchen so that everyone could eat together. The servers brought out our drinks, rice, and sides quickly after we ordered and made sure everyone was served. We ordered BBQ chicken, beef bulgogi, meat jun/gogi jun (pan-fried egg battered beef), seafood pancake, japchae (glass noodles), soon dubu chi-ke (spicy soft tofu pot stew with clam) and two orders of their seasoned sliced pork belly. We had to order lettuce and sliced raw garlic separately–it’s not part of the meal. Everything was made/cooked fresh. We appreciated how fast everything came out since we spent the day at the beach and we were all pretty hungry.

The food was amazing and so was the service! It’s been over 10 years since we’ve been to Honolulu and what we missed the most was the Korean BBQ and this place did not disappoint! The inner rib was delicious and the cold noodle at the end really hit the spot! The kids loved the koi pond as well!

The lady who helped us get our food was very helpful. She recommended several dishes so we chose from her recommendations. A bit pricey but worth the food.

There are tons of Korean takeout joints on Oahu but for a sit-down meal Sorabol has been my go-to for over 10 years now. Consistent quality of food, average but attentive service and outstanding spicy raw crab. My go-to dishes are (preferably, if available, on the lunch menu which is a bit cheaper than dinner): spicy raw crab, fish jun, kal bi, and crab jigae. Their menu is vast, like most Korean joints, but if you’re tired of takeout and limited ban chan options, I highly suggest Sorabol.

Gorgeous restaurant with views of garden and koi pond. Been here twice and got the kimchi stew and octopus stir fry and you can’t go wrong! Authentic Korean food with the sweetest wait staff and they give you shikhye at the end of your meal. Highly recommend.

A staple from the first time I’ve been there in the 1980’s, it was then known as the place to go for 24/7 Korean food. When we went in May, not sure if it was from the pandemic, or a new cook, but the quality had diminished. Last time before then was maybe in 2015. Anyways, the menu was still as robust as ever. Our mini condiments seemed bland, nothing special. One of us had the bi bim bap which he said was good. I had the kalbi/chicken combination plate, but the chicken was dry, and the kalbi just so-so. Maybe I’m used to the take out kalbi from Peppa’s and the like, but I prefer that against the bone cut than the authentic cut, which is more bone than meat. It wasn’t a bad experience, but with it being so uninspiring maybe it’ll be another five years when I’ll return again. Maybe try Million’s just down the street.

Sorabol is easily one of my favorite Korean restaurants on this island. It’s also one of our go to places for a place that’s open late with good food in a clean restaurant with clean restrooms.

Zero Star. No star to negative stars. Two seniors here. This place tried to rip you off on everything they can with you. Meager potions, overpriced and deceptive ads on menu.
