Reviews for The Soban Restaurant in Edmonton, AB

Reasonable price, and a big portion. The tempura set is much bigger than I thought, but the one thing I don?t like is they... always only give you a very small portion of the tempura sauce ???? But it was only $14 And fried chicken is always the best. Itried all the flavours, they are all very good. Of course, in a Japanese restaurant, sushi, sashimi and rolls are veryimportant too. They NEVER let me feel disappointed. All the sushi they do, is with small portion of rice with thick sashimi ontop. Highly recommended Read more

My friend and I went there for lunch. The restaurant wasn't too busy at that time which was nice. The server at the time was... very nice and courteous. The presentation was very nice (professional) and the taste was very light and flavourful. Not greasyor heavy. I am definitely coming back again. Read more

Very nice experience! Good quality sushi at reasonable prices. We had the yam tempura, Korean fried chicken, tuna and salmon... sashimi, Philadelphia rolls and rainbow rolls. All excellent, recommend the chicken with one of their sauce options for addedflavour. Kind and helpful service as well! Would visit again ???????? Read more

The outside might not be the best looking place but inside is quite nice.. The food is great and the server with the glasses is... very helpful and attentive, when we asked questions about the food she was helpful and even gave some clarification on certaindishes! We ordered the Veggie Sunomono, Tuna Tataki, Bulgogi Bento, and the Miso Soup and Korean Soy Chicken. The dishes in ouropinion were full of flavour.. Combination of Citrus umami flavors the Japanese cuisine is known for it present in thisrestaurant.. The proteins were done perfectly, from the soft texture of the tuna, to the crispy batter from the chicken.. Mealswere priced decently :) so you won't break your wallet.. Don't have to worry about food being cold, all of them were preparedproperly and the timing of the food was perfect.. We wanted to be able to taste our food completely, so We had tea and waterfor our drinks but you can get other drinks such as soda if need be.. The utensils and cutlery they own have such nice details,as you can see in pictures and everything compliments each other. Lastly, the ambiance is good.. The service is great as peoplegreet you and thank you when you leave.. And i hope they continue to do well and get busy in the future.. Well deserved group ofpeople that care about hospitality and the service! TL:DR - Food is great, place is welcoming, people are friendly, price isgood, small parking lot for when this restaurant finally gets recognized and it gets busy. Read more

Dine in dinner. Tried several rolls, sashimi and japcha. Korean style rolls and japcha are good. Sashimi is ok. Restaurant is... neat and service is nice. Price is decent. Read more

We were excited to check out the new Soban after the owner's switched this summer. The reno looks great. We got the new Crispy... Creamy Salmon Sushi and it was AMAZING. Unfortunately, we've gone back a couple times and it hasn't tasted the same... The beefbulgogi Bento was delicious and we got more food than we were expecting. But the Yakisoba wasn't great. Also, almost half oftheir rolls are dynamite rolls with different toppings. So it doesn't feel like there's a lot of variety... We keep goingbecause it's close but wouldn't say it's the best spot in the city. Read more

Great Sushi for a decent price! Has good Aburi and pressed sushi and yummy Korean style fried chicken!! Came to the city for... work and we were looking for a sushi spot. Stayed downtown but every place closes early or were booked up so decided to look up#yegeats on instagram. Found this new spot. It's been open for about two months. When we arrived it was clean and quiet,probably because it was Wednesday night. Did the vaccine checks and we were off. Staff was friendly and courteous. Menu waspretty good. The bonus is that it had Korean fried chicken! Had to try the soy sauce one as an appetizer. Then ordered the aburicombo, the pressed Saba aburi, colleagues got volcano and bc rolls, they gave us complementary soup and butterfish nigiri whichwas very nice of them. The food was fresh, tasted pretty good, aburi could of been torched just a bit longer but still had thatcharr taste. The location is a bit out of the way and hard to find. But at least it has decent parking. Definitely a gem in aquieter area. Would definitely recommend and try again! Hope it sticks around! Read more

The renovations opened up more space, and the new walls allow for privacy at your table. The food was delicious. The chef sent... out some waterfish for us to try - it was slightly smoked and so good! They were low on salmon because of transportation issuesfrom the road closures in BC, but our server provided other options. Great service and great food. Read more
