The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater NY

"Koreatown on a Friday night is teeming with people, and it seems like many of them are beelining for Soju Haus, a raucous restaurant that lies hidden on the second floor of an office building. Everything we ate Friday night was super tasty — kimchi pancake, sizzling bulgogi — but my favorite was the spicy rice cakes with fried squid ($12.95). The rice cakes come in the classic red gochujang sauce, but Soju Haus’s version was less sweet than others, which I appreciated. On top are well-fried circles of squid, which makes the dish equally about contrasting textures — squishy rice cakes, crunchy and chewy squid — as it is about the spicy and seafoody flavors." - Eater Staff

So I've been to Korea to study abroad and to travel, and I get it -- Korean food is so overpriced here...but this place is still good. The vibe is awesome and the food is always good. It's a bit pricey, yes. But really good. I also think Eric Nam stopped here with his crew after his performance in New York. I always make it a point to go here and bring friends here cause I love this place so much -- just beware of wait times. I once waited like 2 hours and they felt bad for me so they gave me a $5 coupon, lol.

Same as Take, food is significantly better than you would think it would be for a place where people go to binge drink. - grilled pork belly - seafood soup with crispy rice - brisket fried rice

Went with friends to eat and was slightly disappointed. The food was okay, but not the best. My friend ordered the oxtail, and there was hardly any meat on them. The beef bulgogi was the most decent plate in our table. Also, the portion sizes are quite big and more so for sharing, which is fine. I would recommend the lemon high ball. It was the star of our night! Overall, we receive great service from the staff. Water was constantly being refilled, which we appreciate.

The food was delicious and fast service. Fresh sashimi and rice. A lot of space but it was o bit noisy on Friday evening. Enjoyed that place.

It’s always a good time at soju haus especially late at night when you want to drink more and have some food. Love getting the clam soup, the fried chicken, seafood pancake and ddukbokki there. Can’t really go wrong with the food there and plenty of drinks to choose from.

Ventured in here for dinner after hearing about on social media. The space is beautiful, the atmosphere is great and the food was some of the best we've ever had in Korea town ( we have been frequenting ktown for ovr 20 yrs ). The cheese potato pancake was insanely good. The topikki was really good, the ribs amazing, and the kimchi bone stew was amazing. The soju cocktails were also really good. Service was fast and super nice. We were made to feel at home. Would totally recommend

Came here with friends to mostly drink and hang out. We got terra (our favorite korean beer), kimchi pancake, buckwheat noodles, and popcorn chicken. The buckwheat noodles were surpisingly spicy and we weren't expecting the popcorn chicken to be so saucy but it was good still. Very modern aesthetic and the bathrooms are really nice. Love the lively atmosphere. Note it's cash and Amex only, but they have an ATM inside.

A solid choice for a Korean pocha experience. My friend and I wandered in around 11 p.m. on a quiet Sunday night. The place felt eerily empty—unsurprising given the timing—so instead of sitting in awkward silence, we opted for takeout and headed back to our hotel. The menu looked reasonably priced compared to other well-known Korean bars nearby, and we went with the radish kimchi fried rice and steamed black sausage, based on a staff recommendation. The radish kimchi fried rice was spot on. While they toned down the acidity of the radish kimchi, the spice kick and just the right amount of grease made it incredibly satisfying. For takeout, the portion felt a bit small for the price, but it was still enough for the two of us to share. Unfortunately, the steamed black sausage was very disappointing. It came as an assortment of black sausage, marinated ear, and liver, but aside from the ear, everything was quite dry. The liver tasted as if it had been sitting at room temperature for hours, and the black sausage was below mid at best. Still, based on that radish kimchi fried rice alone, we’d return to try more of their pocha classics.

We arrived early at around 5pm for an early dinner. The restaurant was with nice vibe and was really spacious. The staff was really helpful in explaining the menu. The food was not too spicy and still very tasty and authentic. They also had a good range of alcohol choices.

Nice space, food was tasty (got the pork belly & veggies, sweet & spicy shrimp, and potato wedges). Thought the service was good/friendly! Attentive, refilled our water.

We're repeat customers at Soju Haus, drawn by its late-night hours - a rarity in the area. On this visit, our party of three arrived after 11 pm, seeking a warm, satisfying bite. Soju Haus delivered. Seated promptly, we began with High Ball cocktails. The Basil Tomato was a refreshing, unexpected delight, while the Kiwi Highball was sweeter than anticipated. We also for Soju shots. For appetizers, the Popcorn Chicken with Garlic Chips hit the spot. Our shared main courses - Spicy Mala Seafood Stir-Fried Udon and Spicy Bulgogi - were both bursting with flavor. Soju Haus is ideal for large groups and late-night gatherings. While the ambiance and decor are great, be prepared for a lively, slightly louder atmosphere.

Came here for late bites on a Saturday night. There was a small line when I arrived with a group of 7, but we got seated within 15 minutes surprisingly. The food options are a little more unique than most K-Town pocha menus, but I wouldn't rush to recommend for Korean food in NYC. My favorite is the Sweet and Spicy Fried Shrimp. The Stir Fried Udon is tasty, but if I could improve it, I would add more udon noodles. I would come back for the ambiance for sure. Attentive workers as well.

Food: The food here was average. We ordered the seafood pancake, which was packed with seafood peppers, scallions, and onion. Although it was filled with a lot of seafood and vegetables, it fell apart very easily for this reason and didn't seem like a pancake. I think there are other Korean restaurants that make this dish better. We also ordered the clam soup with flat noodles. The clams were big and fresh. The texture of the noodles were chewy and added a nice touch to the dish. The broth was just okay and wasn't as tasty as we expected. Service: Service was excellent. Staff were very attentive and explained what everything was as it was served. Ambiance: There are large tables and small tables. They keep the restaurant pretty dark and there is very loud music playing. It's a very nice place if you don't mind the loud music. Overall, I would not recommend this place, but it might just be personal preference because I know others who like this restaurant!

It takes a lot of hard work and effort to open a place like this in ktown. I respect everyone involved. Let's start with the tartare. It was tasty, but their choice for a vessel to eat the tartare was poor in my opinion. I would just stick to a cracker instead of the dish and hiccama, though I appreciated the effort. The blood sausage was pretty underwhelming and flavorless. It could be my fault tho, as we went right as the place opened.

Food , ambiance and service were 10/10. The staff were very accommodating and the food came out fast. They had hot plates to keep the food warm. We recommend the braised pork belly and kimchi and the kimchi fried rice with brisket.

This is always the go-to spot to take friends that came from out of town and want to get a later dinner. We usually just walk in with no reservation and only have to wait a little. It has a very lively atmosphere, and it is a very fun place to chat with friends over food and drinks. For our table of four, we ordered the seafood pancake, the spicy bbq chicken + cheese, salmon sashimi, and radish kimchi fried rice w/ brisket. They also give free seaweed rice balls until 8pm, and why are they lowkey very addicting? I usually also get their bossam because it is a solid choice every time. We also got the salmon sashimi for the first time here, and it was really fresh and the sauces it came with were very good. Important to note, they only take amex or cash!!

This was on my list of places to try after a concert since they were open late night. - Spicy Chicken Gizzard -- was our favorite! we even got another round! - Clear Clam Soup -- clams were huge and fresh! the server even removed the clam from the shells for us! - Complimentary Mung Bean Jelly Salad - Peach Soonhari Soju They gave us a heads up that they only take cash or Amex before we were seated. It gives a classy but chill vibe! The service was amazing and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Great ambiance and perfect round table that was able to hold our group of 8! Food was also very delicious. We really enjoyed the spicy rice cakes and the potato pancake. However, the portions seem a little smaller than places like pocha 32 for the price. However, the decoration and dim lighting gave a great ambiance!

A good spot for a late night with friends. We went on a Monday night so it wasn't too busy. Ambiance was modern and dark, and the food is fine, but you're not really coming here for the food. We got the kimchi pancakes, spicy pork trotters (would recommend), and bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles). They only take Amex and cash, which the waiter will warn you about when you sit down.

Friday night - Arrived without reservations and had a short wait, rightttt before the crowds arrived. This place is busy! I have to say the security staff upon arrival is so friendly and professional - you can tell he really enjoyed his job lol. The staff is fast and friendly, we had shared a few appetizers, the Popcorn Chicken, Sizzling Bulgogi, Braised Pork Ribs, and plenty of soju....the winner for the Soju is the Yuzu Flavor....the grape, peach were good too but yuzu was the favorite. It's loud here so be prepared to speak loud to your party lol, but good times here!

Great place to eat and drink with friends. The food was delicious and the atmosphere says classy but still casual and fun. The portion sizes were big so definitely share with your buddies. The braised pork ribs with dried radish leaves was tender and fall off the bone. The sauce was so good that my friend sopped it all up with 5 bowls of their rice balls with seasoned seaweed. The pork trotter was braised perfectly to the point where the meat was soft but was still able to hold onto its structural integrity. The radish kimchi fried rice with brisket is a must order. And the seasonal oyster egg omelet was so good that I also made my own version at home. The oyster was sweet and tender and cooked and perfectly wrapped in a little egg blanket. The servers were attentive and knows the menu like the back of their hand. I highly highly recommend this place. I'm actually adding this to my list of possible birthday dinner locations

Went in on a Friday and were able to get a table for 6 without a reservation! So even if you don't have a reservation, I would try to go in person to get a table. Tip: They also only take cash or Amex. Food 4/5 Personally, I loved the fish cake stew and the complimentary rice and seaweed balls. The kimchi fried rice was ok for me but my friends loved it! Also my friends LOVED the chicken gizzard thing(?) Not a fan of the seafood pancake unfortunately (not a lot of seasoning and kinda wet still). Ambiance 5/5 Table was a little small but there was constantly service and our table was getting bussed frequently so we made it work. Place is very pretty and music was mainly modern Kpop.

An absolute gem in Ktown! Everything I've had here were solid! We started off with the seafood pancake, its crispy and one of the better seafood pancakes I've had They have $1 ours haters on Thursdays but they were all gone by the time I got there. The mild seafood soup and pork belly and kimchi is good too!

We stumbled on this place as we normally eat a Nubiani on the 3rd floor and hit two by accident. Glad we did and stopped in. A typical drinking place which normally has just fired Korean food. But here their menu is of restaurant quality. Worth stopping in and try their menu.

Was recommended here by a friend, it was a bit hard to find on the maps but I just called and clarified it was on the second floor. You're able to make reservations over the phone. Lighting is super dark and vibey to hangout with your friends while having a drink and eating. Food came pretty fast and the servers would check in frequently. Their rice balls and rice mini plates are free before 8 which I liked. Definitely family style. Service was pretty good and interior was modern and clean. It's a great place to bring friends for sure.

My friend and I came here for some food and drinks. We got seated within 10-15 mins. We ordered braised pork ribs kimchee stew and 2 Kloud beers (500 ml a bottle). They gave us a small salad as a free appetizer. The service was great. They checked in on us and provided extra napkins without us asking for it.

- overall rating: 3.5 - took a minute to figure out that it was in an office building - recommend: sizzling bulgogi - also ordered cold noodles, omelet - came for post work dinner - louder than we had anticipated, had to yell across the table - may return at later date to try again for drinks

There was a pretty long wait when we last went. The vibes were pretty great-- it was modern and dark, so perfect to go with friends. The grapefruit soju was pretty good, but the kimchi pancake was disappointing, as it was cold when it came out.

Soju Haus is a bit hard to find as it's tucked away on the second floor of what looks like an apartment ...or bank? But once you take the stairs or elevator up the restaurant has a very cute setup. I came with a group of 11 on a Monday night and we were seated right away. This spot offers a variety of sojus (who would've thought!) including $30 cocktails which are shareable. One was enough for 6 small cups. We also ordered a bunch of different food. My favorites were the Korean fried chicken - the shishito pepper was definitely the highlight for me though - and seafood pancake. We also ordered the pork belly with kimchi and rice cakes but I thought they were alright, nothing special. The servers were really patient with us - we were a big group and definitely took a while to place our order. The manager was also super sweet and gave us free shots on the house at the end of our meal :)

Service always on point! Get there before 7pm, so avoid the crowd! This place is yummy and makes me happy everytime I am there! Good for huge group as they have lots of space. Anyone know if they sell their tshirts as merch? Love all their dishes! Try their specials for the week if you can!

If you're looking for a Korean drinking experience in NYC KTown, Soju Haus is the place to be. With the lively atmosphere, this is a great place to catch up with friends over soju and food. It's hidden away on the second floor in an unassuming place. If you don't plan on drinking or want to come here for a date, I would choose another place. This place revolves around drinking and it's noisy. For our table of five, we ordered the seafood pancake, kimchi pancake, pork belly, and spicy bulgogi, along with some flavored soju. Later on we added a budae jigae. Of the dishes, the spicy bulgogi was my personal faovrite. The food overall was a bit oily since it's meant to be paired with soju. There are plenty of soju options that you can choose and the prices are very typical for KTown. There are other alcohol options if you want more than soju. Depending on the time, you might be lucky to get a table for a larger group without any wait on a weekend night. If you're looking for a place to drink and and have a great time with friends, then Soju Haus would fit the criteria.

A K-drama classic! This is a perfect spot to hang out with a big group of friends for some authentic Korean dishes and drinks. Despite being a casual spot to eat/drink, the restaurant serves a very elevated and modern aesthetic. All the dishes are meant to be shared, so the portions are very big. If you go on a weekend night, there will most likely be a wait. Food: Kimchi Fried Rice - their classic (perfect amt of flavor, not too salty, the cheese on the edges rly seals the deal) Spicy BBQ chicken & Cheese - MUST GET (marinated and grilled chicken just tender enough and topped off with a thick layer of cheese) Seafood Pancake - packed with flavor, can rly taste the seafood, a bit on the greasy side Boneless Fried Chicken - shishito peppers added a nice touch, not the best Korean fried chicken, little too chewy Chicken Gizzard - their specialty, sauce is perfection, also a bit chewy but gizzard has that texture Overall, would come again with friends for the vibes!

Expensive but ambiance is nice. Modern, mood lighting. Seems to be quite busy, reservations recommended. I walked in with two friends. They asked if we had reservations, we did not. The host paused then asked if we would be okay with sharing a table. We didn't so we shared a long table with a group of white college aged guys. They talked about guy things loudly all through dinner. They gave us an appetizer salad on the house that was pretty good. It had slices of a translucent white thing that didn't really taste like much. Don't know what it was but enjoyed it in the salad. We ordered bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, and a white fish item that was on a separate small menu. The kimchi fried rice was very cheesy. Everything was pretty good, like 4/5. The fish dish was great though 5/5. I only regret that I can't remember the name of it. We got two bottles of soju which we did not finish. Its almost $20 a bottle here which is pretty standard for the city and setting. I would recommend coming here only in small groups unless you can get a reservation. I had tried to make a reservation here for my birthday months ago. There wasn't a way to contact them through website or phone. I finally got a response through IG lol. They only do walk-ins Fri-Sun.

Have been coming here since before the pandemic and am in love with some of their soju options--the coconut soju in particular is incredible: nutty, smooth, rich and sweet. It is cash-only, but there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant if needed. During my last visit, I decided to also try out the food here and was unfortunately not as impressed with that side of things. The pork had a glaze that was too sweet and clashed with the other additions to the ssambap we assembled. The biggest mark against here for me was the service, as it felt like it took half an hour for us just to place an order despite coming before the post-work rush really came into full swing. A good experience and I love the soju cocktails here.

This restaurant has a lively and modern atmosphere - the ambiance is great for dinner and drinks. It's on the second floor, so there is a nice view out the windows. Service is great. The food is very yummy and comes in big portions, but it is pretty pricey. The pork belly was my favorite. Soju is also pretty expensive here (~$17 a bottle).

Great ambiance for dinner/pregame with friends, attentive and kind staff, but overpriced for the portion and quality of food. - Tofu Pancake (Fridays only): Fluffy and subtly seasoned, with just the right amount of crispy edges. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. 5/5. - Cold Buckwheat Noodles: Refreshing interlude that settled well on my palate. A bowl of chilled, chewy noodles topped with an array of fresh ingredients was a harmonious mix of flavors and a welcome contrast to the bold and spicy dishes that followed. Smaller portions than most restaurants, a bit too spicy. 3/5. - Radish Kimchi and Brisket Fried Rice: Tender brisket and the tangy crunch of radish kimchi intertwined flawlessly, creating a symphony of flavors. Hardly any brisket, and was left with mainly rice and kimchi. 3/5. - Spicy Beef Intestines: The Spicy Beef Intestines delivered a punch of bold flavors for the more adventurous eaters. The tender texture and the fiery spice melded together in a refreshing and unforgettable way. This dish showcased the depth and complexity of Korean cuisine. I'm a bit spoiled with high-quality, tasteful beef intestines because I grew up close to Koreatown, Los Angeles. Unfortunately, Soju Haus' beef intestines lacked flavor from what I can compare. 3/5. - Spicy Sausage Stew: Rich and hearty broth, generously filled with sausages and vegetables, was a warm embrace on a chilly evening. The spice level was right, adding a satisfying kick without overwhelming the palate. 5/5. - Gochujang Glazed Pork Ribs: Sweet and spicy glaze coated the tender ribs, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Generous portions. 5/5. Soju Haus exudes an inviting atmosphere that encapsulates the heart of Korean hospitality. However, the food is mediocre at best. Come here for the ambiance and soju, but expect something other than high-quality meals.

Surprisingly really good food! I got recommendations for the vibes but I ended up liking the food alot. Kimchi pancake - $17.95 (5/5) It was actually super flavorful and very well cooked. It was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! Tasted authentic like the ones my mom used to make! Marinated Pork Feet - 31.25$ (4/5) This was also cooked very well. I haven't had pork feet since I came to the us and this was so worth it!

(Overall: 84% | B) - Overall, there is reasonable food and I think the servers are reasonably nice, and I really like the interior soju decoration that gives it a really unique vibe. (Beef Intestine Casserole: 87.5% | B) - This Korean stew is filled with beef intestine and numerous other goodies. I like that the beef intestine is easy to eat and relatively tender, but I found the texture to be a bit chalky. The flavors work well, although I find the spice a bit too overpowering with respect to the other flavors. (Bulgogi: 85% | B) - This is a notable portion of Bulgogi priced reasonably around the $30 range. Personally, I think the mushroom, onion, and scallion are smartly infused to lift the dish in flavor. However, I think the bulgogi marinade is way too mild in flavor and need the strength of sweet x salty to come through. (Bossam: 72.5% | C) - Parts of this platter is very tasty, including the mixed veggies, pork shoulder, and the highlight for me, pork ear. The part that I don't understand though is why people would eat such large pieces of raw carrot; they are hard and bland, and don't add anything besides rabbitness to the consumption.

Great spot for after work drinks with coworkers or a date night with your loved one. I love the intimate, modern look of soju haus and come back here often for the delicious food they offer. while the name is soju haus, there are many instances where i find myself at this establishment for food and no soju.

One of the better spots in ktown. Walked in for two and was seated right away. Vibes are better compared to the food. All of the food we ordered was pretty bland. Lack of flavor. The seafood pancake was substantial but no flavor. Much of it was me drenching it in the sauce. Kimchi fried rice was good in the beginning. However, I wished it was served hotter because the cheese hardened fast. The pork belly was chewy. Again, no flavor. Would I come again? Maybe. Added inconvenience because they only accept amex and cash. Seafood pancake: $19.95 Kimchi fried rice with cheese: $20.95 Grilled beehive cut pork belly with oyster mushrooms: $20.95 Chamisul fresh: $15.95

Umm... yum! We had the kimchi pancakes, shrimp dumplings, and my bf had the pork belly and kimchi. We went before 5 so it was not too busy and the service was excellent! Very attentive and helped move the plates around the small table. It was hard to get to because it's in an office building but contrary to other reviews, we enjoyed the challenge! Once you get in, it's a very trendy looking place with cool decor to look at and pretty murals. Soju was good, we have plenty of leftovers for later, and I would def recommend.

Vibey decor and a very lively atmosphere! Work three people, we didn't have to wait too long on a Saturday night for dinner, but keep in mind that this place is cash only, or Amex! The drinks were a bit overpriced in my opinion, so the group and I use shared. The food definitely satisfied a craving, but I wouldn't come here specifically for the food! Good place to start off the night.

Soju Haus can be a good vibe of a place to get some dinner or after-dinner eats and drinks. Their menu offers Korean pancakes, fried & seasoned items, stir-fried items, grilled items, soups, and stews. Depending on which day you go throughout the week, they also have daily specials and features, so be sure to check those out. We came here for some late-night snacking, and we tried: +Savory Kimchi Pancake - super generous in size; it was large with a slight crisp on the edges and a chewier consistency in the inside +Spicy Boneless Chicken Stew - this was more on the bland side, and I wished the stew was more thicker; this wasn't as spicy as I expected it to be +Spicy Rice Cake & Fried Squid - more on the sweeter side, but the ddukboki had a nice chewy texture to it +Kimchi Fried Rice with Cheese - loved the amount of cheese, as it was definitely heavily cheese-focused, but I wasn't a fan of the 'smoky' flavor to it Service was friendly; the place gets extremely packed and very loud, so having conversations can be a little difficult. Great spot for large get-togethers, though! +daily featured weekday specials +friendly service

Came back here to to give this place a proper tasting! The oysters are a dollar on Wednesday, but they are on the smaller side. Might not be worth your money, even if they're a dollar. We got to try the Grapefruit Soju and the Pomegranate Vinegar Soju this time and the pomegranate one is definitely the winner. The flavor is super interesting and it has this fruit loops aftertaste! We also got the pork bone with kimchi stew, while the food was good, I feel like you can get better versions of it in ktown. But this place is still great, it definitely gets packed around 6-7, so be prepared to yell if you want to have a conversation with your party.

Soju Haus is a great spot for groups who are in the mood to grab a drink and eat some delicious food. I would suggest making a reservation because it can get pretty busy at night, especially on a weekend. I made a reservation for a group of 3 on a Thursday night and I'm glad I did. Because this is a drinking spot after all, don't expect it to be a quiet chill place. The servers were nice and attentive. They were really patient when my friends and I couldn't figure out what to eat. We started off with a bottle of soju, which was $18! Pretty expensive but no surprise for the restaurant location. We then ordered 4 dishes to try. The seafood pancake was delicious and crispy. They put a stove underneath to keep it nice and warm. The kimchi fried rice hit the spot and the cheese gave a nice crispy texture to it. The bossam was very fatty and tender. I liked that they gave sides to pair with it. The glazed pork ribs didn't really wow me unfortunately. The meat was tender but the flavors were just okay. Overall, my first experience was Soju Haus was great. They have so many items on their menu. Can't wait to try more.

Came here with 4 friends and enjoyed the vibe We ordered the jokbal, seafood jeon, braised pork ribs with radish leaves, radish kimchi fried rice, and spicy chicken stew. It was really the perfect amount of food for all of us. We also got 2 songs to share (green grape is the best). I think the spicy chicken stew was quite bland, but the braised pork ribs and the jokbal were good. Overall this place is definitely best for the vibes. Fun place to bring some friends

One of my favorite pochas in ktwon because of the vibe. But the drinks and food here are okay for their price. The waiters here seem to be always hustling and busy, which usually is the case especially on the weekends that I came. There usually is at least a 30 minute wait to get seated, and all your party has to be present. The cocktails are refreshing but they give me the impression of detox waters. It really is a hit or a miss. NOTE: they only take CASH or AMEX. So come prepared.

Awwww, Soju Haus. I used to frequent you so much during my drunk EDM days, but we've since lost touch. I probably should've checked in on you more often, but this pandemic thing happened, and I just plain forgot you existed. I'm glad you didn't succumb to COVID, though. Truly. You're one of the good ones. Your kimchi pancake is always solid, and that cheese/chicken/gochujang concoction is surprisingly tasty. In terms of soju, well, how could you not deliver on the thing you're named after? I love your cucumber/chili pepper-infused soju cocktail that easily serves three. It's refreshing, it's green, it's just perfect year-round. In terms of ambience, you could stand to be a bit quieter after 8pm, but I also get that people come to you to worship at the altar of soju. 'Shippers gonna ship.

One of my favorite spots for what they do - lots of drinks and casual food with a lively yet upscale atmosphere. Think of it as a fancier Pocha 32 (without a wait if you come before ~8pm!) with free fried eggs and rice! Service is super friendly! Don't know why its rated so poorly. If you're looking for an easy to get into place to have some fun and drink soju - this is def the spot. Waiting in line for an hour in Ktown just ain't the vibe sometimes. It is on the pricier side - but not insane. $40pp for 4 dishes and 2 bottles of soju (we ordered too much food too).

After a few more visits I need to say that Soju Haus is my favorite ktown place to enjoy with friends! It has the best food out of its competitors- I suggest the kimchi pork belly and pig trotters (so good and melt in your mouth).

Ok food, nice atmosphere, expensive drinks. It's a good place to hang out with friends; several parties celebrated birthdays while we were there. It became quite crowded and very loud on a weekday night. The staff did check for proof of vaccination. A food order is required for each party. We got the savory kimchi pancake ($16.95) and the spicy rice cakes with fried squid ($17.95), which were both just fine and pretty pricey. The drinks are pretty expensive. The cucumber soju was $29.95 for I believe 30 oz, and it was refreshing but sweeter and less strong than expected.

Was here in December, seating was fast and easy with reservation. Initial Service was great but then they stopped coming by to check on the table after food/drink orders were placed. Payment is either cash or amex. The fried chicken was great, other dishes were ok. Grapefruit soju was good.

Great drinks! Fantastic ambiance-and the staff is very welcoming! Short wait time on Saturday night which is fantastic! The drinks are hella strong-bang for your buck! FYI-they only take Amex or cash!
