I last week finally had the opportunity to go to their new site. Sorabol relocated to the Pagoda Hotel, which is located just across the street from its previous site. The floating restaurant formerly occupied this space. Parking may be difficult, but fortunately for me, I was able to get a spot on the street. The restaurant has enough of light and is rather large. They do not have any booths available at this time. There are no closed tables in the room, and each one of them has a bottle of hand sanitizer on it. It would seem that there was space for six people at each table. When you enter, they also have a bar that is fully stocked.
Second time in few months since returning to HI after 20 yrs, used to frequent it then. Sorabol moved recently down the street due to new condo complex. One of my favorites was Korean beef spicy soup. On my first visit to new location, I noted that very little beef was in the soup. I gave it another try. This time, I could find not even a trace of the stringy beef. Waitresses verified and brought me some. Paying a bit more was ok because the food was tasty, but I am uncertain that reputation is still deserved.
Sadly not what I expected. Service was not so good. It was our first time, the waitress didn’t give us any time to look at the menu so we felt rushed and just ordered whatever we knew. Food got to the table fast but the other waitresses and her lingered around and watched us eating our food which felt uncomfortable. Food was kinda okay but way too expensive. This could just be our experience but I hope this review helps if u are thinking about eating here.
We arrived at our favorite Korean restaurant to find they are closed for good at that location, that will reopen on March 01, 2022 at their new location.... The Pagoda Hotel!Excited to see the new location.
The food is always good and consistent. Glad they are not closing and just moving. This is my go to place for Korean food!
Excellent service and food. The place is a little outdated and it smells when you arrive. But the waitresses are so sweet, that you end forgetting it.
Good service, good food.Definatly will go there again
Our waitress corrected our order. Food came to the table with in a reasonable time that we place order. Pricey lunch
Can't go wrong here. Food is always consistently good.
Good tasty food but quite crowded and noisy. Not too much parking.
