Worst korean reasturant. I can’t believe people still go there and waste their money, we used to go there all the time before renovation then food was just ok but now OMG it’s disgusting. As korean I’m embarrassed to call that korean food. Want good korean food go to dong yang in hilltop, it’s small and always crowed but let me tell you ITS GOOD!
The best Korean in the Twin Cities. Hands down THE BEST Korean restaurant in the Twin Cities! I’ve been going there for years. I live in Minneapolis and I am not one to voyage out to the suburbs for dinner; in fact this is the only restaurant that I will do that for. I’ve tried many other local Korean spots and nothing can even come close.
I don’t ever take the time to write a review, but this terrible restaurant has motivated me. Firstly if you aren’t Asian looking prepare to be ignored. I waited 5 minutes to be seated, and another 15 before my order was taken. When I try a new Korean restaurant I usually order bulgogi first, as it gives a good indication on the quality of the food. About three minutes after I ordered I was brought out a dish of reheated old bulgogi that was dry, chewy and bland. The rice was undercooked and the banchan was flavorless and uninspired. I’ve eaten at many Korean restaurants here in the US and in Korea, and Hoban is hands down the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure of eating at.
Terrible service!. Honestly the waiter sucks at their jobs there was no refills at all!!! everytime to even get a refill you had to ask. I had waited an hour for water and proper service was given no silverware till family member went to grab for our own table. Food was okay but service is terrible had to get up to get are own napkin plus when the server gave me my food made a terrible face as she walked to the end of the table terrible costumer service!28 May, 2013Okay so I went to hobans to enjoy a mean with 5 friends last time I went I had no problems or anything this time I went I had a terrible server a asian gentlemen who did not acknowledge us as we sat down did not refill are drinks and gave us no help as we were looking to try new items on the menu this man forgot things we asked for the food was good but the service was terrible!
My first time there and I waited 1 Hr for my food. My food was cold and water was out, no waitress came to check on us.BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FOOD IS NASTY!!!
Worst food ever. I ordered one order of Spicy wings and one order of Tuk Bok ki to go. I specifically told them no egg, no sugar, no meat. While I was picking up the food from the restaurant, I asked them again to make sure I got the right food(no meat, no sugar, no egg etc, they said big YES). For Tuk Bok Ki, they charged me 30 bucks. I was so wondering why it costs so much and asked them too, They said it costs 30 bucks. I went home after paying them 44 bucks for 6 wings and one order of Tuk Bok Ki,As soon as I opened the lunch bag, I see two order’s of Tuk Bok Ki and 6 wings. I tried a wings. It is the sweetest wing I tasted in USA. It is funny that they say it is spicy wings. I opened Tuk Bok Ki, and noticed something strange in there and called them to make sure it is not meat. They said there is no meat in it. When I asked them about two orders of Tuk Bok Ki, they said it is for two. They never said it when I was ordering it, may be because no one buys it and they wanted to get rid of it quick. I started eating and I could not complete even a spoon as I smelled meat.I drove again for 20 miles to the restaurant with the left over food and askend them, what the while triangular thing is in the curry, they said it is fish. I told them I wanted food without meat in it. They said, fish is not meat. I really got my doubts whether fish is meat or vegeratian. I gave them the food and asked them to trash it and came back home. They did not even bother to offer for a refund. Their answers were rude about fish and meat thing.I had eaten in 1000’s of restaurants in my life and this is the worst food ever. I do not recommend even my enemies to eat food in this restaurant. Please go a burger place to eat better lunch. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT EVER even if this is the only restuarant left in this world.13 Mar, 2013Worst food ever.

Comfort Food!!!. I can’t stop eating here! The food is so good! Seriously, I sometimes order takeout and go to their website and drool over the pictures for a good 30 minutes before even ordering! Best part is the food tastes just as good as it looks! One word of caution if you like spicy foods though, the red dishes are red for a reason! I would definitely recommend the Kalbi, Pork Bulgogi, Chicken Bulgogi, Chicken Bokum, Seafood Pajun and Dolsot Bibimbop!
