Reviews for Sorabol Restaurant in Newport News, VA

Love, love, love Sorabol! I have patronized the restaurant for many years. The owner knows what I want before I sit down. The... food is A-mazing! Fried mandu, the bulgogi, and the quiet atmosphere (when I go). It's definitely a treat! Read more

The Korean food was really delicious. It might not look like it on the outside of the restaurant, but this Korean food is very... close to what it taste like from my mom. It is kind of expensive, but I would definitely go here again. Read more

My family threw me a surprise birthday dinner here. This was my first time here, and it is located right next to The Bread... Garden and Emart. I ordered the bibimbap and kimbap. Both dishes were flavorful and it did not take too long for our dishes tocome out of the kitchen. I would come back and dine here again Read more

Took my son out for lunch. Order the sushi & egg drop soup. Omg it was so yummy & fresh! I loved it. My son did too! He ordered... some spicy noodles with seafood & veggies. The sauce on the noodles were very tasty! He loved it and I loved it too! I order theKorean beef. My food was warm/cold to me. I believe my waitress was waiting to bring my food out with my sons dish (which tooklonger than mine). It wasn?t spicy how I asked for it to be. But it was still good in a sense. My waitress was very nice andefficient. I plan to come back again! Thanks ???? Read more

Quaint little Korean restaurant with authentic Korean food. The lady server was very pleasant and the food was good. I would... come back to try other dishes. Read more

Service was great and fast. For just one lady serving everyone in the restaurant I think it was very speedy. Kimbap was... delicious. My husband's bulgogi was tender, flavorful and not overly salty. My kimchi jigae was pretty good but a little toosalty for me. Would definitely come back to try other dishes when we are in the area again. Read more

With the unfortunate passing of Mona (RIP) I was forced to find another Korean food place. We are super picky about our Korean... food luckily Sorabol passed our finicky taste buds. My husband is a Galbi fan and he was slightly underwhelming when asked if heliked it. "It was fine". He ate it all. He didn't care for the choices of banchan but I believe they change them often. My sonand I looved the yellow pickled radish. They didn't serve the sweet pickled radish that I like, mu saengchae. But they may haveit. We ordered beef bulgogi. Delicious and tender. I think the problem my husband I both have is the lack of sauce on the meat.We could taste the flavor but we like a little sauciness. The kimbap was delicious. Served with a different dipping sauce thanwhat we are used to. This was served with spicy paste. But makes no difference it was delicious and they were a pretty nicesize. My favorite was the jjamppong, spicy seafood soup with the udon noodles. It was spicy and delicious and full of vegetablesand seafood. Sooo good ???????? We ordered for take out and everything was packaged nicely, no spillage. Will definitely orderagain. The photos are leftovers from the next day. But shows the lack of sauce. Read more

I visited when it was super busy. It was a full house and there was only one waitress, so it did take a long time to be seated... and then get drinks and food. I don't blame them for this though, and there's only so much such a small staff could do. Thatbeing said, the food was delicious. The prices for food usually range between 10 and 15 dollars, so a little on the pricey side,but typical for Korean restaurants in the area. I certainly thought the price was worth it though, and will consider coming backagain another time! Read more
