Sō Korean BBQ

It’s been over a year since I last visited, and I remembered this place as a solid option for AYCE. I decided to go back because I missed the herb pork belly they used to serve but it’s no longer on the menu. That said, the curry pork belly was a pleasant surprise and definitely made up for it. The meat was soft, tender, and flavorful. The curry has this hint of sweetness to it that was so addicting. It quickly became a top pick for me. Overall, the quality of the meat cuts was still just as good as I remembered. The main issue for me was the service. I had made a reservation for five people, but when we were seated, we were only given four sets of plates and sauces. I had to ask for the extra set and a drink. It wasn't a huge deal, but it felt a bit careless. Since it had been a while since my last visit, I also wasn’t aware that we had to grab our own silverware. When I asked, the server just pointed at the drawer instead of explaining. It felt like he assumed we were regulars and knew what to do. He wasn’t particularly friendly, and honestly, it felt like he was neglecting the table. Because the 20% tip was already included, I can’t help but wonder if that affected the level of service we received. We had to request extra sauce, and even then, only three out of five were refilled. Our server also kept turning down or shutting off the heat only for another staff member to turn it up again. I left feeling more irritated than satisfied. The food is decent, but the service was bad enough that I have no interest in coming back.

Low quality meet. Inattentive staff. Zero ambiance. Uncomfortable seats. Poor table design-you can get burned with oil and there is not exhaust fan. There are much better Korean restaurants in the area where you spend your money.

The best Korean BBQ in the area. Service was outstanding. The server was quick with replacing our hot plates and refilling water! We had a great date night!

My friend took me to this restaurant that he has been several times. We ordered the all you can eat set B ($5 surcharge) and it was worth it! Our favorite meats were the brisket, ribeye steak, and the short rib! The baby octopus was really good and well seasoned! The beef belly was amazing as well! I would totally come here again and the service was spectacular! I loved the ambiance as well! 10/10 experience!

Great food, it’s just too crowded when we were there. Great place to bring a big family.

I had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant today. The staff were incredibly friendly. Especially Jamie at the counter and Daniel, who served us, provided excellent service and made us feel welcome. They were attentive to our every detail throughout our meal, ensuring we were comfortable. I feel truly fortunate to have such staff at this restaurant.

Excellent Korean BBQ with amazing service. I had a fantastic experience at this Korean BBQ spot! The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal feel welcoming and enjoyable. You can tell they care about both the food and the customer experience very professional. The grilled beef dishes were absolutely delicious — flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. Everything was well-seasoned and came out hot and fresh. The side dishes complemented everything perfectly, and the portions were generous. If you’re looking for great Korean BBQ with top-notch service and quality meat, this place does not disappoint. I’ll definitely be coming back!

First, let's start off by saying this place is super cute. When I walked in, I was immediately impressed with the decor. Additionally, it was very spacious. As it relates to the service, it is pretty good. Upon entry, we were greeted and immediately seated. Then our waiter, for the most part, was very timely. On to our dishes. We opted for the all you can eat option (Option A) with the waiter preparing our food. The portions were of course very generous, however, the food was lacking flavor and or the usual oomph, taste wise, that I have gotten with all my other Korean BBQ experiences, which was a huge let down for me. Overall, our experience here was a good one, but the food, in our opinion, made the experience average.

Parking is cozy, and consistently packed! There are a lot of great places to eat at this shopping center so expect a lot of traffic. If you're driving something nice I'd recommend parking further away from the restaurant. The staff are phenomenal! Swift service, friendly, and with all the people who serve you, you'd think they'd forget about you, but they work together effortlessly and manage a great team here at Sō. The food options are awesome and come in a large selection! You can choose from so many options of meats & Side dishes. I'm a big fan of the kimchi & brisket! The price they ask for their service is fair. The look of the restaurant is beautiful! Truly a great place to take a date, celebrate an achievement, or bring a family! I would eat again at this fine establishment and recommend trying!

Love everything about Sō, you can cook yourself, they have legit Korean bbq, it's all you can eat Only downside is they do cans of soda so no "free" refills but that's also a good thing so you don't drink to much soda Come hungry

Bustling AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant where you come for the food and the experience, but not for comfort or a conversation with friends The place has one large open space with large tables spread throughout, which makes it extremely loud Most people come for a AYCE Korean BBQ experience, but they also have a-la-carte KBBQ, a couple non-Korean BBQ dishes, and a great cocktail menu I came here with a party of 5 and we tried a variety of things. They were all very tasty, our waiter was very friendly, and all of our food was delivered very quickly as well Bring your bill to the host at the front of the restaurant to pay

It's been over a year since I've last been here. It was a good place to go to if you're getting AYCE. I went again as I missed the Herb Pork Belly they used to serve. It's no longer on the menu. It's okay though. The curry pork belly actually made up for that and became a top item to get on the menu. Specifically that dish was great as the meat was soft and tender. The curry gave it a sweet touch on top of that. The cuts of meat was still good as ever. My issue is the service I've received. I made reservations for 5 people and when I got there, they lead us to the table and only gave us 4 sets of plates and sauces. I've had to requested an additional set and drink. It's not a big issue at all. But It's been a long time since I've been here. I've asked for the silverware and the server pointed out it was in a drawer. I feel like the server just thinks we know what to do. He wasn't very nice and neglected the table. I'm assuming as the 20% tip was already included, he didn't bother to take care of us as much. We had to ask for extra sauce for the table and only refilled 3 out of the 5 sauces. We also had him come to our table to turn down or off our grill and another girl kept turning it on. I'm incredibly disappointed in the service received. I don't think I'd be returning for a while again.

The price is higher than its competitors in the DMV area and the meat choices are limited. We chose the Option A, the basic level with $35 per person which is more expensive than other Korean BBQ AYCE restaurant's basic level. It only includes three beef items and the rest are chicken and pork items. To get shrimp, squid, short rib, octopus, or intestines, you need to upgrade to Option B, which is $40 per person. The food quality is good, and the servers will help you to cook the food. They are good. The environment is clean and very open. My Korean friend told me the restaurant is very traditional and the food is authentic Korean food.

The space in this Korean barbecue place I think does it for me! It's very spacious. Especially with a seating arrangement of about six people you still have a lot of space on your table for everybody to have room for all the items that they want. to meet quality was also pretty good.

The place is beautiful, the quality of the food and sides they give is amazing. My table ordered only one drink and it was pretty good, the peach tea with whiskey. These servers work really, really hard and at least our was very nice. I lived in the area 15 years ago and used to go to this location and I'm not sure if it is the same ownership, but I'm glad I found it when I went back this time.

Good place, clean spacious. Service is quick and helpful. Good food choices. Overall a nice place to checkout.

Went here with a group of friends on a whim after a spa day. We had a great time! We were easily able to get a table, but it was busy. We got options A all you can eat. The curry chicken was a table favorite was were the beef and pork bulgogi. The kimchi was also superb! The portions were very big for the 4 of us so suggestions asking for less to start with as to not waste food. The chairs were super uncomfortable. Low to the ground and the backrest was also very low. My one friend said they do this on purpose at all you can eat spots to make folks uncomfortable so they don't stay too long. Unsure if this is true, but it would make sense. Overall, I felt like we got a good value for $35/pp.

I love Korean food, the meat here was great, rhe sides were great, I love a steamed egg, I wish they had tteokbokki tho, that would make it even better! But delicious nonetheless!

Four of us had lunch on a Saturday at 1pm. We ordered the soy garlic chicken, beef bulgogi, beef large intestine, seafood pancake, and dolsot beef bibimbap. The meal included the banchan side dishes (a good variety of 7 types), and complimentary small steamed egg bowl and small doenjang jjigae (soybean soup) which are usually included at Korean BBQ restaurants when you order main dishes. The meat was grilled at the table by one of the hosts. The chicken and beef were really tasty and I recommend them both. They each came with two large slices of onion, so if you don't like a lot of onion mixed in, you should set one or both of those aside. I did not try the intestine, but my dining partner said it was quite good. I don't have a picture of the cooked results of this, but it reduced quite a bit and came out to kind of a small portion. The bibimbap was good and the stone pot came out hot enough to crisp the rice a little on the bottom and cook the added egg. The large seafood pancake was massive. If there are three or fewer of you at the table, I recommend the small size unless you all know you want extra helpings of this. It was very thick and came jam packed with squid and shrimp. The selection of banchan was varied and quite tasty. It included potato salad (very smooth rather than chunky), sour pickled radish/onions/chili peppers, traditional cabbage (baechu) kimchi, a light and mild cabbage/onion/carrot slaw, thin-sliced pink pickled radish (ssam mu), mung bean sprouts, and a seaweed. We got a complimentary cup of sikhye at the end of the meal. It was tasty and refreshing, but I would have liked more bits of rice in mine. Service was prompt and attentive. Including tax, the price per person was the same as if we had ordered the AYCE menu Option A. But not all of us are big meat eaters so the AYCE option wasn't worth it. For the same price, we all still filled up and had a little more variety. Of course, if you go into this place with some serious carnivore buddies, then yeah, go for the AYCE option and go crazy. I did this on a previous visit with other friends and had the meat sweats the rest of the day and evening, but it was worth it.

This is hands-down one of my favorite Korean BBQ restaurants, and our most recent visit was for my husband's birthday. We did AYCE and were not disappointed. Bulgogi was a highlight, flavorful and not too chewy. The banchan were fresh and plentiful, and we loved the extras like the soup and steamed egg. What really sets this place apart is the vibe. Modern, clean, and kind of hip without being pretentious. Unlike other KBBQ spots that can get loud and chaotic, this one feels more curated and calm. Our server was super attentive. Respectful, refilling sides, and swapping out the grill quickly. He was very eager to help with the grilling, even though we had our coaster turned on the side that says we can grill it ourselves. Really appreciated the service, but part of the fun is cooking yourself! It would've been nice to be a little more hands-on, especially since we were celebrating. They brought out a Choco Pie at the end for my husband, and one of the other servers added a candle to it, which was very sweet! All in all, delicious food, great ambiance, and thoughtful service--can't ask for much more.

I was lucky enough to come back here and this place is still on point just like the first time I ever tried it. I let my buddies do all the ordering and I want to say we got package A. Hands down the Brisket is my overall favorite, the soy garlic begogi is also very very good. The service was pleasant and we got there around 10:30pm so it was fairly empty around that time.

Been going here since my days of residing in VA and even though I'm out of state, I always make an attempt to dine here whenever I'm passing through! Recently came back after being away for over a year and things were mostly the same besides minor interior decor changes; place still looks amazing. The menu is the same but the QR code and template got a nice update making it look more modernized. I always go with the Option A and just bulk order the chadol bakgi. The waiter or waitress usually cooks for me and I ask him or her to just make it a little crispy; seriously so good. I've tried their Galbi and it's pretty tender, but I end up order option A majority of the times. The side dishes are decent and their kimchi has a nice kick to it and pretty fresh. They can get very busy during lunch or dinner hours so I recommend swinging by at 11am when they open unless you book an appointment. Highly recommend!

Visiting Nova from Seattle and So Kbbq was my first stop. Came towards the end of the night and got the all you can eat option with a couple friends. Quality of the meat was good, service was friendly and quick. My friends told me that there can be a decent wait during the peak service times. We came around 9pm so we didn't have any issues. Plenty of parking outside. Got the chadol and the samgyupsal and we literally just rotated between these two meats and occasional ordered something marinated. Lots of side dishes on the side. You can also order the steam egg and the doenjang-jjigae and cheese corn too (we did). Price wasn't too bad. I think it's $35 for acye option A. There is an acye option B that includes kalbi but we didn't get that this time. Inside the place was nice and clean. Lots of tables and grills. Definitely would come back again

First, let's start off by saying this place is super cute. When I walked in, I was immediately impressed with the decor. Additionally, it was very spacious. As it relates to the service, it is pretty good. Upon entry, we were greeted and immediately seated. Then our waiter, for the most part, was very timely. On to our dishes. We opted for the all you can eat option (Option A) with the waiter preparing our food. The portions were of course very generous, however, the food was lacking flavor and or the usual oomph, taste wise, that I have gotten with all my other Korean BBQ experiences, which was a huge let down for me. Overall, our experience here was a good one, but the food, in our opinion, made the experience average.

There's a reason Sō made the list of top KBBQ restaurants in all of the US. They have top notch meats, a variety of menu options, and a large, modern interior. The main draw for me is the AYCE combos, A for $35 or B for $40. B adds in a few higher end cuts and seafood, but you can only get 1 order of galbi per person (booo). A is more than enough for me, so I just stick with that. They have a nice selection of banchan, and they have some of the best pickled radish in the game. There's not much to say about the meats, except that they're high quality and delicious! They have 3 sauces available: a sweet plum sauce, a spicy gochujang-like sauce, and what I think is salt and butter. I personally like the plum sauce since it contrasts very well with the savory meat. All in all, Sō is deserving of its rating and has the best balance between quality and price in the area.

We came here for xmas lunch with my family and my bf on 12/25/2024, and I'm thankful Sō was open (since a majority of us were working all week, and unable to cook). First off, I hadn't been back to Sō in a few years before this. Why? Simply because I live further from Centreville now, but let me tell you it's well worth the distance and drive!!!!! We were immediately greeted and seated. The ban chan side dishes were already out for the 4 of us. We were able to order and receive all the meats we wanted in AYCE with no rush, no impatience and just full of excellent service and kindness. Shoutout to JUSTIN our server!! He was amazing. We really enjoyed chatting with him, and he was so helpful, efficient, and friendly. Whatever we needed, Justin and the staff anticipated. The side dishes were refilled with plenty of food, our waters refilled frequently when necessary, and the different servers who also lent a hand like Jonathan and a female server we didn't catch her name, were great and fast too. Overall, I was observing the staff including kitchen staff, cleaning crew, food dashers, servers -- everyone worked seamlessly and well together to make our dining experience excellent! You can tell the Sō team cares. Overall, my bf commented "this is the best service we've ever recieved at a korean bbq restaurant", and I agreed 100%. The decor was very cute and nicely done for the holiday season. I really enjoy seeing their tree and lights. I wanted to take a photo with my parents, and the hostess without hesitation offered to take group photos of us. She was super nice! Thank you, Justin, and Sō team for everything! You guys made our xmas family lunch memorable and so enjoyable. Definitely for good food and amazing service, check out Sō Korean BBQ! ***** 5/5 stars

As a customer-based business, administrative laziness of any restaurant always confuses me. We tried not once, not twice, but four different times to make a reservation that would have resulted in this place getting a four-figure dinner bill. Four weeks ahead of a dinner (for guests from as far away as a 16 hour drive), my wife used their website to place the reservation. After not receiving an email or confirmation for a couple days, she called to follow up. She was told that they were very busy, but that they did have the reservation and that she would receive an email confirmation. About ten days later I had to call again because we still had no confirmation. Again, I was told that the managers had the reservation and they were just sifting through many reservations in priority order. I would receive an email to confirm.... Less than a week out, we were in the area and decided that since the dinner was less than a week away we better make sure we weren't showing up to nothing. When we walked in, the girl at the counter said she saw nothing about our upcoming reservation in the system. We explained the details thus far, she called her "manager", and the short version is we were told that we would receive a phone call from him before the close of business that same day. Nothing. We searched around and called a different Korean BBQ to get a reservation with a private room. It took one phone call and we were set. I don't know where the owner is in all of SO's operations, but if my manager let a four figure dinner reservation walk I'd be pissed.

Good Korean BBQ is not limited to Annandale, Centreville has a great AYCE location and its truly awesome. From the meats, seafood, ban chan, drink selection, and service, I have not had a similar experience elsewhere. For your AYCE experience, recommend the "B" option which includes "A" plus other delicacies such as So kalbi (marinated short ribs - limited to only one order per person), rib eye steak (soy garlic sesame seed marinate - we had a few orders), shrimp, and a whole selection of the usual Korean BBQ delicacies. It's a bit more costly, but so worth it. The selections and quality of items are top notch. To make it even better, you have a selection to either cook yourself or have the staff cook for you - select the latter. They are attentive and quick to grill your selected items and change the grill often as it quickly gets dirty. In addition to the great selection of items to grill and service, there is a great selection of beer (Japanese, American on tap), soju, and cocktails. My buddy ordered a soju cocktail consisting of soju, yogurt and a splash of Sprite. Don't know what it's called, but it was too easy to drink! A great Korean AYCE with a great selection of items to grill, adult beverages, and service, it's a combination that is hard to beat in Centreville. Check it out! Highly recommend making reservations as it quickly gets busy.

I haven't been to So in about 3 years and now I remember why. First let me say the service is incredible. Always have the best servers. The decor is so aesthetically pleasing. I love it. Anyway, they give you the option to grill or have someone grill for you which I like. Some AYCE don't do that. You also don't feel rushed. I made them grill so I don't mess up. The overall meat quality/marinades don't do it for me. We ordered a variety of pork. The pork was so chewy and the marinade made me feel like I'm going to throw up. I wasn't too pleased. The beef bulgogi was okay, the brisket was okay. The banchans were okay. I do love that they are the only KBBQ spot with the Korean potato salad and it's DELICIOUS. Overall, I hope the quality improves in the future. I always see great reviews but my experiences are always lack luster

This was my first time trying kbbq and my first 5-star rating:)! Sō was super social, filled with friendly workers and customers, and the ambiance was so young! We were seated and tried the AYCE. The chicken was delish, bulgogi was tender, and the beef was delicious! Not only is it worth your buck but the endless side dishes was amazing! We tried the steamed egg for the first time and now we get it every time. Def recommend this place!

Besides the waiter, having an attitude, the food was good. We did have some indecisive people in our party, but you're in the business of customer service. You should not have an attitude if people are indecisive, especially with the first time visiting your restaurant. I've been here a few times. I already knew what I wanted, but the people that were with me had food allergies, and was concerned about cross contamination, which should also be their concern as well At the end of the night, we had a $400 bill and we still tip the person even though they had an attitude . There was a younger man there that helped us without an issue. It was the older reader, probably about two or three years older than him that just looked like he needed to go home.

Got the AYCE option A and it was a pretty substantial variety of choices for meat. They ran out of seaweed and a lot of other bon chon, so that was pretty disappointing. The pickled radish paper helps cut the fattiness of the meats. We did flip the coaster to minimize server interaction but the server still tried to help us grill our meat. I appreciate the attempt to help, but that's not the point of the coaster Overall, it's a pretty standard KBBQ place, and is one of the better places around here. Pretty satisfied and very full for $35 per person.

This is an awesome KBBQ spot with a lot of different options! The meat is very high quality and you can really leave totally stuffed. Our favorite meats were the bulgogi and the galbi, and we really appreciated the kind and fast service from our waitress. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very busy so it was pretty relaxed inside. Nice, upscale vibe and a really big restaurant that I imagine gets pretty busy during peak hours. The price is a little bit more expensive than other all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue spots in the area, but not by a lot so ultimately, we felt like it was a pretty good deal, especially considering how much food we got.

STOP touching our meat!!!! I have no idea why every person that works there feels the need to mess with our meat on the grill every time they walk by. If our meat is still on the grill, DO NOT take it off. If we haven't put meat on the grill yet, DO NOT put it on. Why can't the servers just leave us alone? It's not rocket science to cook meat, we don't need your help. This is literally casual korean comfort food - not some 5 star luxury restaurant, your assistance is greatly annoying.

My friend took me to this restaurant that he has been several times. We ordered the all you can eat set B ($5 surcharge) and it was worth it! Our favorite meats were the brisket, ribeye steak, and the short rib! The baby octopus was really good and well seasoned! The beef belly was amazing as well! I would totally come here again and the service was spectacular! I loved the ambiance as well! 10/10 experience!

Sō is a go-to AYCE kbbq place in NOVA. We went with Option A, which is $35/person for 90 minutes. The price is on par with other AYCE kbbq places close by, but the quality is better. I think the selection is great for the price and there are a la carte options that you can order instead or add on to the AYCE option. The sides are also good and when you ask for refills, they'll really pile on the amount. Our server was great and pretty attentive, but the place was so busy that we weren't able to order as quickly as we would've liked (not her fault). It's a fairly loud environment, but it's mostly conversation from everyone inside not music. The only other thing that brings down my rating is the plates weren't clean when we sat down even though we were given new ones.

This was my second time trying Sō and it's a pretty good place to get AYCE kbbq. I personally usually don't prefer getting AYCE kbbq, but this is a pretty good place for that. It's a pretty large space inside, employees are mostly friendly. We came in at about 4:10PM and waited around ~20 minutes to be seated. Once it hit 5-6PM, the place started filling up quickly. I think our waitress was fairly new and she kept coming by and changing our grill heat settings even though we told her we'd grill on our own. Another waiter came by after awhile and started taking care of us, since we kept having to wait on our original waitress. Our table went with Option A and the quality of the meat is pretty good, really liked the garlic pork belly! The chadol beef brisket isn't the best, but still good nonetheless. Variety of side dishes was also nice, and their steamed egg is actually seasoned (some other kbbq places have really bland steamed egg). Overall, a nice option for AYCE kbbq.

Visited on a Friday, it was super busy but the service was great! My brother ordered so much food for the family so was able to try a lot of different dishes and again the food was great and delicious. I would totally come back here again for the BBQ and service !!

This is always a favorite for us, but recently we've been seeing that the quantity of the meat has gotten a tad bit smaller. Making sure the business owners know that we've noticed!

Spicy pork belly is really good! I like that you can order steamed egg and miso soup here to accompany your meal. Service was top notch, and the portions were very large. Staff members constantly stopped by to see how we were doing, and happily grilled our meat. At the end of the meal they bring you a nice, cold drink of sikhye. I will definitely be back!

Recently went to So BBQ again and i will say the service was impeccable this time around. Maybe the management changed but it was a completely new experience for me. The food prices and options were the same.

This is my favorite Korean Barbeque in the area. I love the brisket and bulgogi. Korean bbq is usually experience but I feel like this place is affordable, cozy and comfortable and the service is great.

After hearing rave reviews from family and friends, I decided to give this spot a shot! They're located off Route 29-Lee Hwy. We came in to check out their best cuts of meat and see what this Korean BBQ joint had in store. The restaurant itself is split into a dining area, waiting area, and bar. As for the table layout? Not my favorite. It works for the staff, I guess, but that's about it. For food, we ordered the meat plate for two, which came to $92. The platter included beef brisket, bulgogi, short ribs, and two types of steak. Definitely more than enough food for two people. My husband and I thought the meat quality was solid, and the sides? Delicious. Extra points to our waiter for juggling all of us, even though the place was packed and clearly understaffed. There are a bunch of great spots in the plaza, so I might swing by again for the side dishes, but they need to level up the flavors a bit. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to dip their toes into the world of Korean BBQ.

Came here two weeks ago when an old friend was in town for training... this was middle-ish for most of us and the request was for KBBQ. This place did not disappoint for price and all you can eat options... my only complaint was the service was slow; and the meat portions that came one at a time felt a bit like torture. We must have asked for banchan refills four times before they were finally refilled and don't come thirsty... getting a refill on your water was an even longer wait. This place was pretty empty on a Monday night so not sure why the service was so bad but they also sat us right next to a group of others with a plexiglass barrier which I thought was weird cause there were tons of open tables. We didn't get any booze but they did appear to have some good options

My favorite Korean BBQ in centreville - especially for galbi. Their marinade is fantastic. They have an AYCE option and also allow you to choose if you want to cook yourself or have a server grill for you. Also very cute decor on the ceiling!

I thought the Korean bbq here was ok. I got the meat a la carte instead of the all you can eat. The pork belly was decent but I was disappointed by the galbi jumuluk, which is a marinated short rib. I usually like the galbi jumuluk at most Korean bbq places but the one I had here tasted off or like the marinade went bad. Maybe if I had gotten a different meat I would have had a better experience. However, the service was good and the restaurant had a nice ambiance for a Korean bbq restaurant.

Visited 11/28/24 and had a great experience. The service was fenomenal and the meats were fresh. We opted for the all you can eat, option A. Should have gotten the option B for $5 extra but A was great as well.

Recently my husband and I dined at Sō for a good Korean BBQ. We were originally thinking about going to Iron Age but to give another try to see the change. From overall experience, we enjoyed such quick service and great level of engagement from servers.

i've been here twice. service is okay, the place kind of just reminds me of a school cafeteria. the sides aren't that great, i think i only really like the rice cake/sausage skewers. i think this place just gave me meat ick both times i've come here

We came here after an appointment and this place did not disappoint. Ambiance - You could tell it was a little bit older compared to some of the other Korean bbq spots I've been, but still very cute and clean! Service - Amazing. The host and servers/cooks had amazing personalities. They kept checking to make sure we were ok. And the upsell strategies were on point! Food - Always get the corn cheese when you do Korean bbq. It's always a vibe! The bulgogi and shrimp were also very tasty. Overall, give this place a try. I suggest ordering a la carte because you get a ton of food!

Another amazing meal at So Korean. You really feel like you're getting high quality meats at a bargain. They still do courtesy barriers and masks which coming into general flu season is smart. Their smokeless grills are amazing. You can have a good conversation without a huge hood in the middle blocking you from your dining partners and no loud exhaust fan. It was our fault for not scanning the QR code for the menu. It's been a while and I was slow and was expecting the old physical menu. Meats were nicely grilled by our server. Items were refilled no problems when asked. Overall, really satisfying meal and it's always a treat.

This is a must try for Korean BBQ whether you're a fan of Korean BBQ or have never tried it and and want to check it out. We ordered a side of steamed dumplings which I enjoyed and would get again. The main event here though is the meat. We had the "Option B" all you can eat which lets you order from their entire all you can eat menu. I enjoyed everything (sliced pork belly, shrimp, bulgogi and spicy bulgogi) but the spicy bulgogi was the best of all. Everything is cooked right at your table and they'll cook it right in front or let you cook it if you want. Service is really friendly and they frequently come by to check on you and see if you want to order anything else. No sitting waiting around for more food here. They're also really good about bringing you more rice, salad, soup or other side items. The place is very clean and is bigger inside than you'd first think. There can be a wait sometimes so make reservations or be prepared to wait awhile. I'll really enjoyed this place and will be back again for sure.

One of my FAVORITE KBBQ spots for their quality, meat selections, service, and delicious side dishes! Inside is very spacious/open, clean, and the utensils are in the drawers at your table. There's plenty of room on the tables for all your meat orders. I usually do the all you can eat option A which a the beef, pork, and chicken options. Option B includes seafood and intestines. Each option includes unlimited side dishes and rice as well as a steamed egg and soy bean soup (first refill is free). You also have the option of cooking or having a server cook for you. Side dishes include fresh kimchi, mashed potato (we're always asking for more), seasoned beansprouts, kale, lettuce and onion salad, Korean pickles, beef, radish paper, etc. I like asking for more peppers/sliced garlic with the samjang. Beef Brisket 10/10 - classic starter for me - fresh and tender, I like mine a bit crispy - I enjoy pairing the brisket with the sesame oil/salt combo Soy Garlic Sliced Pork 9.5/10 - one of the more flavors pork options - very tender Curry Pork Belly 8.5/10 - SO is one of the only places I know to offer this flavor of pork belly - unique and delicious Spicy Pork Belly 8/10 - slightly spicy, easy to handle Pork Belly 7.5/10 - recommend trying their marinated pork options instead!! A lot more flavor, but regular pork belly is also good (next time I want to try their thinly sliced one) Everything is marinated well! At the end of your meal, you'll get a sweet rice drink which is so refreshing!! Service is amazing -- from cooking/cutting if needed, getting our next order, refilling our sides and sauces when requested, and checking up on us.

Love the food here! If you do not do "all you can" eat you are the rushed out of the door. Our server was so thoughtful. We went here on my bday and he was thoughtful enough to make a choco pie cake for me w a candle! So sweet! Will never stop going here!

Sō Korean BBQ has been a personal favorite of mine for years. They have a really solid selection of meats on both the all you can eat menus- just make sure you bring people that can eat their money's worth of the food! As someone who lived in Korea for a while I will say that the food doesn't really feel authentic as many of the places I ate at didn't season their meat- but regardless this food is SO GOOD! The servers are usually pretty conversational if you opt to have them cook your food for you. For the most part each time I've gone we've had decent service, fast refills and frequent attention to the food- even when most times we visit the place is packed! I love the vibe of this place- it's so cute and is a fun place to show friends. I suggest the Herb pork belly and soy garlic bulgogi.

This place was really cute on the inside and well decorated. We did the AYCE Option A for $35. The meat was high quality! The herb pork belly was my favorite. The sides were also good. Went for lunch on a Friday and there were only 3 tables full. I flipped the card to say we could grill our own, but they ended up cooking for us. I liked that because we were able to enjoy our meal. I would definitely go back!

This is definitely an "upscale" version of KBBQ, as someone coming from LA area, this was different from the typical KBBQ experience. The server offer to help us cook, but in my opinion it takes away from the KBBQ experience. The food was good quality, the side dish, steam egg and the soybean soup was very average. Was disappointed about not being able to order Galbi more, the menu said we can get one order per person, so my wife and my try to order again but was denied. We try to order some pork belly dish 3 times!! Finally we were able to get our order at the end. This is an good KBBQ experience
