"At Jihwaja, soju flows like Niagara Falls. Forget the basic dining room at this Korean restaurant-cum-karaoke bar and book a private booth instead. You’ll be led down glowing pink corridors, soundtracked by people murdering Springsteen, Eminem, and BTS from multiple directions. In a semi-soundproofed room, you’ll eat dinner before your set. Keep it simple from the enormous menu and stick to the classics. The generous sharing plates of yangneom chicken are glistening and have an excellent crunching fry, and the kimchi jeon is good too." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
