Reviews for KOBA Korean Stone BBQ in St Robert, MO
Our food was phenomenal. It was hot and tasted great. Really loved the presentation and flavors. Spent a lot of time in Hawaii... so we have had our fair share of Asian food. Have became quite picky to when it comes to certain foods. However the waitress washorrible. Absolutely some of the worst service I have. She barely checked on us. Waited 20 minutes for a Togo box that we nevergot. So unfortunately we had to leave our leftovers behind. She was the only waitress standing around doing pretty much nothingwhile her co workers seemed to be working their butts off. Would give 5 stars but the service was pretty bad. Read more
Pretty good spot for Korean BBQ right outside the main gate of Fort Leonard Wood. A couple of us went with the combination plate... dinner which was an enormous amount of food. They have other Korean specialties such as Soju for sale as well. Service couldimprove but other than that it was a pretty good time. They are cash only, but there is an on-site ATM Read more
As an out of town visitor the "CASH ONLY WE HAVE AN ATM INSIDE" is a very unwelcoming. It was pretty dead inside. Staff mulling... about and dirty tables that had not had their dishes removed. We were seated, ordered and the food came out quick. The food wasgood but I was in Korea for a year. CHEESE STICKS DO NOT BELONG IN KOREAN DISHES! A bit expensive for what you get. I know youare outside a military base but the military pictures that were up were kitschy at best. Read more
This was quite possibly one of the most underwhelming restaurants in St. Robert- and that's saying a lot. The food is nowhere... near as authentic or tasty as Cafe Korea across the street. The meat had a rotten smell to it, even while cooked, so that tellsyou that they don't use the freshest ingredients, nor do they use the right amount of seasonings on their food. We had orderedthe beef bulgogi, which was terrible and seasoned with Teriyaki sauce, the fried rice, which even my kids commented "it doesn'ttaste like anything", and the Kkangpung chicken, which was the only redeeming dish of it all. The portions were minimal for theoutrageous cost. I can see if you have Covid tastebuds, then you might like this place. Our server was very short with us,almost like we were inconveniencing her at a time when they didn't even have 1/4 of the restaurant filled with patrons. We hadhigh hopes for this place, and are saddened by this experience. Read more
We went for a late lunch early dinner. I had the Koba dinner (hot stone) BBQ plate with chicken and a side of fried rice. My... boyfriend had the beef Koba bento dinner. The two things I didn't care for 1. the rice wasn't your typical "fried rice", it wasjust white rice with soy sauce 2. the "iced green tea" was just iced water with a tea bag in it. Its not previously brewed so itdidn't have much flavor. ***Heads up*** They DONT take credit/debit cards, cash only. They do have an ATM inside but if youwant to avoid the extra charges from the ATM and your bank bring cash. Read more
Decent sized parking lot for the establishments. Not your typical Korean BBQ place as it did not have the hot plate grill in the... middle but the food was still pretty good. I ordered the combination Koba Dinner Stone BBQ Plate and my boyfriend ordered theBeef Shot Stone Rib. Both were very well marinated and really good. Great portion sizes as well. We also ordered the Koreanpancake to start and a some Kimchi soup. The kimchi soup was delicious. The Korean pancake wasn't as crispy as I'd like it andlacked some flavor. Otherwise good food and friendly staff. It was cash only when we went. Read more
I think the owner is very honorable but I'm not impressed. I'm pretty sure I had a new waitress and I had ordered kimchi pancake... and I didn't get it. Her service was horrible. I didn't know this until I went home. I have the beef ribs soup I have not triedyet but I can tell you those big mass of dumplings are not worth it. The owner has stated that they are vegetable which Iunderstand but I just didn't find it flavorful. The single piece of dumpling you see below is the yaki mandu. That has flavor.The pancake I have is obviously scallion and it tastes like a normal pancake. I don't think I'll revisit this place. This mayseem harsh but I just don't believe if you really like Korean food you'll be impressed coming here. Lackluster. Ambiance of therestaurant is good but food is very subpar. I will say at least it's not salty. Read more
1. Pork cutlet: texture- okay (3/5), taste-okay (3/5) 2. Soft tofu: taste- absolutely not supposed to taste like that. It is a... different soup just soft tofu inside of soup (1/5) 3. Server: well? I was an only customer in the hall. Seems like doesn?t wantwork there. 4. Why do this restaurant only accept cash? Do I need to report this to BBB? Read more
