$22 for a bowl is the most ridiculous thing I've encountered the money I have could spend on the Korean mart for $7 a box of japchae and $6 tepokki and $8 fried chicken the prices are outrageous not to mention serving not much and the japchae is over cooked and soggy like wet bread?

Salmon and chicken bbq are too dry.Kimchi is clearly inedible. What a mockery of Korean cuisine. When you’re hungry and you get this kind of food ?

This place is terrible. I order the lemon chicken with “two” sides. $15.92(including tax) for few pieces of chicken and three pieces of broccoli. No quality nor quantity.

The best pieces of meat I’ve tasted in a long time. Their BBQ Short Ribs are tender and sweet. The Japchae Noodles are awesome. Good price for a satisfying meal.

I ordered bbq chicken noodles. The woman behind the counter asked me if I want my noodles spicey, without making me aware that it’s an extra charge. She wasn’t overly friendly either. A small bowl of noodles and a can of coke cost me over $20. The noodles were nice, but lacked flavour. This is quite expense for a meal at the mall. The service and price definitely let this place down.

I ordered a BBQ chicken fried rice, the whole fried rice and the chicken tasted like mushrooms.

More for your money and it's really tasty!Vegetarian options: Great selection of fresh vegetables.Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair can roll right up.
The staff offers samples of their dishes, they gave me a piece of the bbq chicken and it was delicious. The meal I got was the bibimbap(no egg because of the current shortage). The dish was flavorful & every bite carries a different flavor, ranging from salty & savory from the mushrooms to juicy soy beans. The dish was also very filling and price reasonable. They also have a meat option if you prefer bibimbap with meat, for an additional price.

This is a bit of a silly review but I find myself always returning to Sorabol when I'm visiting the Westfield mall because of how delicious their potstickers are. I've definitely tried more authentic dim sum places but there's just something about these potstickers that taste amazing. They have a doughier wrapper so I can see a lot of people not liking that but a chewy soft dough and crispy exterior is always what I look for, and they get it done perfectly every time. Sorabol's main menu boasts premade Korean food, served hot plate style--kind of like a Korean fusion version of Panda Express. They feature sides like japchae (sweet potato glass noodles) and sesame broccoli. They have various banchan (side dish) toppings such as kimchi and bean sprouts. These items are actually surprisingly delicious and not too far off from their more traditional counterparts. Sure they are pre-prepared so perhaps not the freshest meal you can find around town but in a pinch, still very yummy and satisfying for a Korean craving. In general the bulgogi (marinated beef) and spicy pork dishes are pretty good. The only miss I think I've tried is their breaded shrimp--very soggy and oily. They also have some made-to-order dishes such as soft tofu soup, noodles, and kimchi fried rice--I can't personally vouch for any of them as I've never bothered ordering but I've seen others order specific entrees and they didn't look too bad! But my 5 stars is exclusively for the scrumptious potstickers lol. They are technically part of the premade options but if you ask nicely they (or just want a quantity higher than what's visibly available), they'll pan-fry a fresh batch up for you; just be mindful of your time, as there's usually a 5-10 minute wait for the fresh potstickers. They are definitely best when fresh, piping hot and crispy but not overly greasy since they aren't deep-fried. The dipping sauce and kimchi on the side is free so make sure to request it! The sauce is a bit on the sweeter side (could definitely use more vinegar and spice) but eaten with the kimchi, this appetizer is my absolute fav. Service can be a little hit or miss but they are a fast food joint so I don't hold it against them. They also have a Metreon location just a few blocks away. But I like the mall because Bake Tarts is right next door, which you should check out for dessert!

Not a bad choice for a quick taste of Korea! Spicy hot & steamy tasty noodles soups!

Located in the downstairs food court of the Westfield mall in SF. They serve a variety of Korean style foods to go. Food quality/taste is average, nothing special. Portions are perfect for 1 meal. Service is fast.
