SOBAN

About SOBAN:

SOBAN is a small, family-run Korean restaurant on West Street in Horsham, run by a Korean family who want to share the warmth and comfort of authentic Korean home cooking with our local community.

The name **SOBAN** comes from the traditional low wooden table that Korean families gather around to share a meal — a table filled with rice, soup and little dishes of banchan. It represents the kind of everyday food we grew up eating at home.

At SOBAN, we want to introduce you to the food that Korean people actually eat at home. Not just food for special occasions, but simple, comforting dishes that we could happily eat every day without ever getting tired of them — our everyday soul food.

We make our food fresh every day, using the ingredients and cooking methods we grew up with. Our fresh kimchi is made in-house, while our broths and stews are prepared using traditional fermented bases and fresh ingredients.

We also love showing how Korean cooking can transform vegetables into something much more than just a salad. Through different cooking methods, seasonings and textures, simple vegetables become wholesome dishes full of flavour.

Our banchan changes regularly with the seasons, so there is always something new to discover. Just like at a Korean family table, the dishes may change from day to day, but there is always rice, soup and something delicious to share.

**We are open Wednesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner.**

Whether you are craving something hearty or something light, there is always a place for your taste at our table:

**For Meat Lovers**  
Enjoy our sizzling marinated pork, tender beef bulgogi or spicy chicken — best enjoyed the authentic Korean way, wrapped in fresh, crisp lettuce leaves (*ssam*) with a touch of our savoury homemade sauce.

**For Stew & Soup Lovers**  
Warm your soul with our bubbling hot stone pot stews, from rich and comforting fermented soybean paste (*doenjang*) stews to tangy, warming kimchi stews, all served piping hot with fluffy rice.

**For Vegetarians & Vegans**  
Enjoy wholesome vegetable dishes and plant-based noodles, prepared with fresh produce and deep, natural flavours.

**From Mild to Spicy — Just the Way You Like It**  
Love a bold kick, or prefer something gentle and mild? We are always happy to adjust the spice level to suit your taste.

Our dining room is warm, bright and relaxed, with plenty of natural wood and a homely atmosphere. Whether you are joining us for a quiet lunch, a date night or a family meal, we want you to feel comfortable around our table.

If you have never tried Korean food before, don’t worry. We are always happy to explain our dishes and help you choose something you will enjoy.

We want to welcome you and look after you just as we would a special guest invited into our own home.

SOBAN is our way of sharing a little part of our home, our food and our culture with Horsham and West Sussex.
