Soju Haus

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.

All the food was delicious, needless to say. Even their service was the best I have ever experienced. Although it is a pity that they only accept Amex and cash, I think that is the rule of the store and everyone should follow it, and they are not to be criticized at all. I have been there 5 times so far and I am so grateful that I have had a good time with my friends every time.

Soju Haus is an absolute gem in the city. The ambiance is vibrant yet cozy, making it the perfect spot for both a night out with friends and a more intimate dinner. The food is outstanding, with an impressive menu featuring authentic Korean dishes that burst with flavor. Their soju selection is extensive and well-curated, offering both traditional and unique flavors that pair perfectly with the meal. You must get the coconut soju cocktail—it's refreshing, delicious, and the perfect complement to the rich and savory dishes. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is a delightful experience. Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or new to it, Soju Haus is a must-visit destination.

great for large groups and very well priced with large af portions. we ordered so many dishes and drinks and enjoyed them all. my personal favorites were the kimchi radish fried rice, bbq chicken and cheese, and the salmon sashimi. the complimentary rice they serve before 8pm is also delicious—it’s served with purple rice, anchovies, and an egg! the staff were all so kind and provided all we needed for my friend’s birthday dinner. i’ll definitely be back!

Delicious food and drinks! Perfect for large groups or enjoy by yourself. We had a party of 4 and loved all the food options. Everything we ate was great and service was fast and friendly. All staff were very attentive and helpful. We ordered intestines, squid, chicken gizzards, pork belly, and pig trotters. Again, everything was so good! I highly recommend trying them out! They will not disappoint.

First time coming to this place with some friends and it was a great experience! The food was pretty good, but the draw is the different kinds of soju available! While I’m not a big fan of soju in general, there were a few premium sojus that I enjoyed! The atmosphere is nice as is the service! See photos of what we ordered! Recommended.

They only accept cash or amex! Highly recommend coming here on Wednesdays when they have $1 oysters. We had an amazing time. Ambiance is great. My only regret is that they put us in a seat by the wall so everyone else had a nice window view except us. Does not detract from the good food though!

I love this place. This is the real deal Korean food. Their seaweed rice is like crack. I can’t enter enough of it everytime I go. Their seafood pancakes are delicious. They also have a frosted beer that’s great to have in the summer. The menu is big and there is something for everyone.

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. My favorite is the Sweet and Spicy Fried Shrimp. The Stir Fried Udon is delicious as well. I would come back for the ambiance for sure. Attentive workers as well.

I absolutely loved the wide selection of soju and the creative soju cocktails--they really stood out! The variety of food was also impressive, with bold, authentic flavors that paired perfectly with the drinks. The decor and ambiance were elegant, making it a welcoming and comfortable spot to enjoy a great meal. The service was fantastic, and we never felt rushed, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back to try the rest of the soju cocktails! This keeps the focus on the soju cocktails while maintaining the positive tone.

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!

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!!

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.

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 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.

Great meal and attentive service. Could hardly finish our meals as the portions were very plentiful and the flavors were so rich. Great date night location

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.

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.

I loved this restaurant! Good vibes, great soju selection, and delicious food, service was also quick and nice. Wish we were more hungry to try more stuff, but definitely can back again and try different things next time!

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

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!

The food was pretty good but small portion sizes. The vibes were pretty chill and the waitress was super nice and patient while we figured out what to eat.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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).

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

Great place to have dinner in New York. Highly recommend. Very close to Penn Central so after couple sojus easy to take a train. Great service. Everyone helping and watching over tables. Will definitely come back!

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.

Love this cafe's atmosphere, but the coffee could be stronger. Still, the pastries are delicious and staff is friendly. 4/5 stars

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.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. We were lucky enough to get seats just before the Friday rush. For those wondering, the restaurant is on the 2nd floor of the building, and I recommend taking the stairs since the elevator can only comfortably fit around 3-4 people. I tried the tofu pancake (3pc), and while it was decent (6/10), it didn't blow me away. Next time, I plan on trying the seafood pancake since I'm looking for something with more flavor and crispiness to pair with the soju we had. If you want a light starter with a slight crispiness, give the tofu pancake a try. Otherwise, I recommend trying the other pancakes. The coconut soju (8/10) was a great cocktail that cleverly masked the soju's taste with young coconut water and coconut oil. Don't be like us and forget to scoop out the coconut flesh to eat! The cucumber soju (9/10) was my favorite drink of the night. It's made with soju, lemon juice, cucumber juice, cucumber syrup, and dried red pepper, and served in a Mason jar. It might look like pickles at first, but trust me, it's a refreshing green cocktail that's perfect all year round. The marinated pig feet/trotters (9/10) hit the spot for me. This dish was served hot and smelled savory. It's definitely a job for three people to finish unless you can eat a lot of meat! The clear clam soup (8/10) was another highlight of the meal. The clams were big and fresh, served in a clam soup base that was amazing on top of some rice. This soup paired well with the pig trotters, as it cleansed the palate and gave us another chance to experience that "first bite" taste. The Oxtail 6/10 was not it for us. This was tough to bite through when the pieces were thin.

Good vibes Good food I only get soju and beer here but lots of people order some beer float thing Good for large groups and I wanna celebrate a bday here just so they play the song

Customer service: 5/5 great customer service. The waitress was so kind and answered questions throughly about the menu. Spicy Rice Cake with Fried Squid: 5/5 one of the best I ever had. The rice cake and its excellent texture. Salmon Sashimi Friday Special: 4/5 super fresh, serve with fresh wasabi. The only downside was the amount of radishes it was serve one. Great amount for two gals. Whenever I'm back in town, I'll be definitely trying something else on the menu. Ambiance was nice, great setting and view of the part of k-town.

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.

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.

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

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.

Really mean servers who are being passive aggressive - when we said no change and paid 120USD. They gave us the change and later said 'you are tipping lower than the lowest amount and that's why we gave you the change.' Honestly when we said we paid 120 you could have just said USD110 was paid. Not to mention, after they said they couldnt meet our order because they run out of oysters, we immediately order seafood pancake and they rejected.... It's a pity.

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.

3.5 - First visit back after the pandemic - nice to see the food is still delicious and the vibe is still bumping! This is a solid option for Korean food, best shared with friends! You absolutely have to share dishes, to try more and because the dishes (and drinks) are generally large-format. You often see two people sharing just one or two dishes. I love the soju cocktails and black raspberry wine. Vegetarian options are very limited, but better than most Korean spots and you can make it work if you have some flexibility (eggs,etc.) - just be sure to ask for each dish whether it has meat, even if not listed in the menu description. I love the spicy rice cakes and chive egg omelette roll - could eat those dishes every time. Presentation is also fun! Can typically get a table without a reservation on a weekday, maybe with a short wait. It has a bar-like atmosphere, so it is louder (in case you're sensitive to that). Service was just ok. We got what we needed, but sat a long time before our order was taken, people seated well after us were served first, and no one really checked-in so we had to flag someone down when we wanted the check.

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).

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.

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

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.

Food was pretty good and price was reasonable. They have different soju. Generally good vibe to drink and eat. Service was good and they open pretty late.

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.
