Soban

"Soban’s tight menu features a rarity: ganjang gejang — raw marinated flower crab — which tastes like the pinnacle of Korean cuisine with its rich, slightly fermented umami and buttery sweetness (especially over warm rice). Spicy braised black cod and braised short ribs are soulful companions to help complete the experience. The family-owned restaurant holds such a special place in the Korean community that the director and stars of the South Korean film Parasite celebrated their historic 2020 Oscar victory right here. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff
