The surprise of the Denver dining scene this summer — so far — was the opening of a new Korean restaurant, Soban, in Aurora. The eatery comes to Colorado from Los Angeles, where it wowed many fans of Korean cuisine — including restaurant critic Jonathan Gold. Says Dave:

Adds Josh:

What do you think of the Korean restaurants in Denver? Do you get what you pay for?
