Cafe Sobahn is located in a plaza on Anson Rd in Coquitlam. The cafe is not open in the evening and focuses on lunch service. Currently, the cafe is open for dine-in service but we decided to grab take-out. When we entered the cafe, we were greeted by the friendly owners and they were happy to see us.
Cafe Sobahn offers a variety of simple Korean rice, noodle and snack dishes. They have bibimbap, cold noodles, fried rice, udon noodle soup, and bibimbap. They also have a variety of drinks to choose from for your stay.
Spaghetti Carbonara
Who would have thought we would order carbonara pasta at a Korean cafe? It turns out that this was the most brilliant idea! The pasta was coated throughly with rich creamy carbonara sauce and speckled with bacon and mushrooms. I liked how there was extra sauce on it so that the noodles didn’t stick together. The bacon flavour was really strong in the pasta so that even if you didn’t get a bite with bacon, you could taste it in the cream sauce. Definitely a must try on the menu.
Kimchi kimbap
We couldn’t go to a Korean cafe without trying something Korean, so we got the kimchi kimbap. These Korean style rice rolls were filled with egg, carrots, ham, pickled radish, cucumbers and mayo. I was pleasantly surprised that each roll was warm and the rice of soft. Hurray for no pre-made kimbap!
The only disappointing part about the rolls was that there wasn’t enough kimchi to go around. For a whole dollar more than the version without kimchi, I don’t think the kimchi provided was enough to match it. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our meal and had satisfied bellies by the end of it.
