Whether it's a 2 am craving for a kimchee pancake or a persistent hankering for bi bim bap (fried rice), Sorabol Korean Restaurant in Ala Moana can satisfy the strongest of appetites for Korean cuisine any time of day or night. Open 24 hours, the eatery offers the same authenticity of its smaller ethnic counterparts but in a more spacious, comfortable atmosphere, complete with private dining rooms and a cocktail lounge. Although the impressively extensive menu can be rather intimidating – and the English translations a little vague – the friendly waitstaff seems always ready to provide a little guidance in the right direction. The menu of traditional Korean fare, including yakiniku (cook-at-your-table) dishes, introduces timid American palates to the likes of tofu stews, steamed butterfish and kalbi (spicy short rib stew). Sorabol has consistently received local recognition, including Best Korean Restaurant in 2007 Honolulu magazine readers poll. Beer and wine available. Open 24 hours daily.
