Always a table open at Kitchen Sooda... maybe it's just my luck. Can't go wrong with their chicken dishes.. and pastas. One of my favorite spots to drink soju on rainy days. Cheers read more

One dollar per blue point oyster happy hour is the best!! This place is located next to the Cafe Concerto on Serrano between Wilshire and 6th St. It's a mandatory valet parking unless you park on the street. Their Cajun shrimp wasn't as good as Boiling Crab... or even Holy Crab, but I would definitely come back fir the oysters! read more

I had Kitchen Sooda's mentaiko pasta and I can see why my friends told me this is one of the dishes they're known for. Creamy, salty, and yet not overwhelming in flavor, the mentaiko pasta was delicious. Would get again. Seating area was also very cute and well done with plenty of space between tables and mostly outdoors. The staff were very mindful of covid and my only advice is bring a jacket on chilly nights out. They have outdoor heaters, but in case you luck out with where you sit outside. read more

Kitchen Sooda - Mentaiko Pasta - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great place to eat food is very good and the customer service is Great!! Love this place

After looking through several reviews, I decided to order Kitchen Sooda for the first time. I went with the clams and garlic butter, and their Alaskan king crab w/ medium spiciness & corn on the cob. It was absolutely delicious, and I didn't feel ripped off by them giving a small amount of crab or anything . It seems like a normal portion, and I finished the dinner feeling happy. I will definitely be ordering from here again in the future. read more

Been here a couples of times and will continue to come back. Very chilled late night bar with amazing drinking food. K town can get a little busy at other spot but this place is very steady, not too crowded and services is great. For the most part, it's my late night hang out spot. Will be back for more! read more

Good late-night spot to casually and leisurely drink and casually munch on decent-ish food. I like that they leave you alone, have TVs on the wall, and valet available, which I'm usually not a fan of but in K-Town it's nice to not have to worry about parking. read more

Come here pretty often with my family. Taste even better than boiling crab!! We always get 2 pounds of shrimp (spicy) with sausages and potatoes. YUM. We also usually order chicken and pasta. Everything on the menu here is solid. 5 stars all around! read more

this is my go-to late night seafood boil when im having extreme cravings and boiling crab is already closed. they have fresh seafood and a delicious sauce that goes with it. I just wish they sold crawfish too oysters are super fresh and deliciously sweet. military soup could probably use another tbs or 2 of gochuchang and gochugaru, it was lacking a depth of flavor fried chicken - light crispy and delicious spicy rice cake was a bit too sweet for me read more

It's very hard for me to not like uni pasta, but believe me when I say the uni tasted amazing with the creaminess of the pasta sauce. I personally like to mix a few pieces with the pasta, and keep some uni chunks unmixed and it is amazing. I don't think I can choose any other place that serves uni pasta now, other than one that also serves Korean food and soju. read more

I'm all about finding good value, good portions, good taste, and good prices. The food is okay, but it's pricey for what you're getting here. Like the chicken and cheese is a shallow dish but is pricey for what you're paying (and come on, it's chicken). For this dish, I'd recommend going somewhere like Go Pocha (but there, you'd get pork and cheese). We also got the mussel soup and it was... i think if I close my eyes I can taste freezer/refrigerator. I've also gotten the shrimp boil here and that was okay. Maybe just to boiling crab for value (but that wait is horrendous). And I got the chicken here, which again was okay but can't compare to OB bear. Overall, this place kind of did too many types of food but didn't really deliver for me w price, taste, or quantity. Value wise, I probably can't recommend it. They have areas for group seating, but I've come w a group of 10 girls and they ended up forgetting some of the items we ordered such that some girls never got their food. Also, the wait is kind of long from ordering to getting your food. read more

Above average. Really really spicy food. I'm used to korean spices level but this is something else A bit overpriced for what it is i think the cheapest meal was the half chicken for 16$. Everything else was at least 20-30$ Beer was 8$ for 16oz Me and my boyfriend both now have stomache We ordered 2 dishes and the total was 70$. read more

Heard so many good things about this place from my friends and coworkers, so I finally went to give it a try. I went with two of my other friends and we all loved it so much. Cheese bool dak: We understood why there were so many pics of this menu on Instagram. Chicken was very soft and the sauce was very delicious. I will definitely order this menu again when I go back. I loved how you can eat the cheese, chicken, and hash browns warm/hot the whole time. Louisiana Inspired Seafood - 1 lbs of shrimp, 1/2 lbs of sausage, and two of 3" corns: We ordered in mild sauce and it was so good! We were super satisfied with it. read more

I went to dinner here last week. Seeing the $1 oysters was what got my attention. Decided to give it a try with a friend. The oysters were okay. I was really excited and I think my expectations were a bit high. It's a $1 so it is a good deal. The chili cheese tots were good but it was a bit heavy. It's a side dish to share since the portions are big. The Mentaiko pasta was really good! You should definitely order this! They have a good happy hour so if you are in the area it doesn't hurt to give it a try. read more

great little place. Food were so good! will be here more often. keep up the great foods and great service!

A great place to go if you want to have a good time with your friends. I usually go and order the buldak (spicy chicken) to share and the truffle fries (which are a must). I tried the garlic cheese chicken wings and they were nice and juicy (the garlic was a little raw so it might be spicy for some people). Always a great experience when I come here! read more

Kitchen Sooda - Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wing - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've taken several friends here a couple times and they all love it! You can never go wrong with their fried chicken or cheese fondue here. I usually order the booldak chicken - cheese, spicy marinated chicken, tater tots and rice cake. The dish is on a huge platter with a small fire at the bottom so the cheese gets all melted and gooey. YUM! The cheese pull gets insane for all the cheese lovers out there haha The garlic soy sauce chicken is another favorite item I like to order. The chicken is fried crispy but isn't breaded heavily so it has a light crunch. The soy sauce flavor is rich and savory. Not super salty! I've also tried the honey nutty butter chicken. This is really good too. It has a sweet flavor, contrasts well with the garlic soy sauce chicken. I would definitely recommend eating here! I love eating korean fried chicken and this place really hits the spot. There's so many different options besides chicken too such as seafood (similar to boiling crab), pasta, appetizers, and tacos. read more

My go to spot for korean fried chicken!! There's many good spots in ktown, but this by far is my favorite because they do fried chicken right! I usually get half of the traditional korean which is spicy/sweet and half of the soy garlic. BOMB. Perfectly crispy and juicy at the same time. Then, when I didn't think it could get any better, their Mentaiko pasta blew me away. The pasta is perfectly cooked and the sauce is delicious. Idk who the chef is back there, but they def know what's up. Valet is $2 at lunch and $3 for dinner. Seating has both inside and outside. I would def recommend coming here to enjoy some bomb korean chicken and beer! And pasta!! read more

** NO MORE $1 OYSTERS!! Came here on a Monday night for dinner with a friend and it was fairly packed. Came here for the hype and my expectations were met. V recommend -Bool Dak- spicy fire chicken over hash browns with melting cheese / portions were half chicken + hash brown half cheese I would've preferred more food and less cheese. Almost like cheese fondue, good but won't order again -shrimp tacos- my friend insisted on them and it was the best dish. The shrimp was cut in to bite sized pieces and pan fried Cajun style. The toppings + sauce was perfection. -jambalaya pasta- tomato based seafood jambalaya pasta it was a good tasting dish. Love their pickled veggies selection they give. Would come again and try their other chicken dishes!! read more

I'm totally crushing on this new ktown restaurant/bar since last night. Perfect for date night or girls' night~ Kitchen Sooda has a little something for everyone. Think EMC + Boiling Crab + Ddonggo = Kitchen Talk! Sooda means talking, chit chat, chatter, gossip, and we had a night of plenty of sooda over some mouthwatering food! $1 oysters were fresh and shucked fast. The accompanying sauces were a bit lackluster, but they also provide lemon and tabasco so we slurped up 2 dozen easily. The lobster roll was a twist on the usual mayo with chives or green onion...not the best or worst I've had, but it was a fair amount of lobster for the price. The accompanying fries were mediocre. Their uni pasta was cooked perfectly al dente! I didn't get much uni essence from the cream sauce but the texture had me eating seconds. Can't comment on the honey nutter chicken since I did not partake because I prefer savory flavors, but the half portion was plenty and came with chewy rice cake. The real star of the night was the fire chicken! The spicy marinated chicken came on top of hash brown and a pool of bubbling cheese. Will be coming back for this! I think it's my favorite rendition of fire chicken so far! Goodbye Ddonggo, Hello Kitchen Sooda! read more

Pretty good spot for late night food. Came on a Saturday night and the place was very much empty. There were only a couple other parties and they were all very tame groups. No complaints here cause I wasn't looking for loud music or rowdy patrons. I was mostly there for some good chicken. Ordered the Traditional Korean Spicy Chicken, which has a nice kick to it. I will say that it was more spicy than actually flavorful. Thought it was still pretty good since I do love spicy foods. read more

Service was horrible. The male waiter had very bad attitude. When he was checking my temperature before entrance, I thought he was about to punch me. He had mad face and swung the thermometer at me without any words. He had facial expression that looked like he doesn't want to be there the whole time I was there. It made me feel very uncomfortable. Food - so good . I love shrimp But never coming back bc of the waiter read more

My last review was in 2016 and I am still a freakin' fan till 2018!!! The menu has been consistent. I have always been a fan of their Louisiana Style Seafood! Better than Holy Crab, Boiling Crab, and whatever is else out there. Their sauce stays consistent. Happy Hour is from 5-7PM, I believe you can get $1.25 Oysters... and there are different kinds! When I order the Snow Crabs, it's so juicy, make sure to ask for melted butter on the side! What I REALLY enjoy about this place though is that they have variety of food. It's mostly like Korean Bar food where you munch and drink. Great place to come kick it with friends and family. I come here with friends a lot and they have TV too, so I watch basketball here. The Valet is shared with Caffe Concerto, it's not hard to miss. I will guarantee, you won't regret eating here. I think I have tried almost everything on the menu? I come here way too much. I personally enjoy their (JJOOKKOOMI SAMGYUPSAL - Spicy Baby Octopus with Pork Belly) and mother fuckin' cheese........ YUMMY. THEIR TACOS AND the hot sauce is bomb... the pastas - Mentaiko, Uni, Jambalaya, Pomodoro. I like all of them honestly. I think I'm about to go back right now. read more

I love this place so much. Pretty much have all my favorites such as mentaiko pasta, fried chicken wings, tacos, and so much more. Always a great time and amazing service. :) read more

The customer service here is great. Valet is about a few bucks. The food however was just all right. The flavor of the mild lemon pepper and garlic butter just wasn't working for me. I found myself craving boiling crab afterward. Also the shrimp in my bag were all different sizes ranging from really tiny to normal. The snow crab was very delicious. Overall though, I think I would stick to caffe concerto instead. read more

Wow, my first sea snail experience didn't disappoint. Tucked away on an off street is Kitchen Sooda, a perfect place when everywhere else has a long *** line or just way to many people. We ordered oysters and the fresh sea snail. I love oysters but something about the ones tonight were just meh but the sea snail, let me tell you, was delicious. Chewy with a delicious dressing of ponzu and seaweed. If you are feeling adventurous and you like oysters, I would like to suggest the sea snail...I think you'll be happy you did! Can't wait to try more options here. I would came back for that sea snail! read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. The service is a little slow sometimes, but they are very kind. The food here is amazing and the price is reasonable! They also have a huge variety to choose from! I've tried the shrimp (served similar to boiling crab) and loved the added kick in spice. Their Asian fusion pastas are also very good and the presentation wasn't too bad As a cheese lover, I couldn't resist their Buldak (fire chicken). This is basically a spicy chicken dish with cheese being melted at the table. The buldak here also came with hash though, which was a little different than other places, such as ddong ggo. Note: Parking is difficult to find, but they do have valet. read more

After the disaster that was Dennys (a cockroach landed on our table 5 minutes after we had sat down...) we started walking and tried to find a different place to hang out after midnight. Ended up seeing Kitchen Sooda and walked inside. My friend ended up getting garlic fries, and the guys got two beers. The garlic fries were pretty good. Lots of cheese on them (YAY! - instant win in my book). The only thing was that the garlic had just a little too much bite (very very strong and stung a little bit to be honest). However, there was a decent portion, and it was decently priced so meh. Perhaps one day, we will be able to come back and try the actual food. read more

This place is super trendy and I was super excited to try this Korean - Creole fusion food. It's also open late and great for big groups who want to DRINK! (K-town has a lot of these, you can never go wrong). Whole restaurant is LARGE. FOOD: ---Mantaiko pasta: highlight of the night, super creamy and delicious $18 ---Fire chicken w/ cheese BOOL DAK: what they are known for, it's sooo good. The chicken goes well with the sauce and cheese, and the crispy potato at the bottom adds a nice crunchy carb to the dish. Would have been great with a side bowl of rice which we didn't think of until we were nearly done. Service was good! Waiter was attentive. Parking: Valet only, $3. Food was heavy so I wouldn't frequent this place a lot but I would not mind coming back. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday in September. We made a reservation for a table of 17 at 6:30 pm on a Sunday. When I called to make the reservation, they were very accommodating and I was able to add additional people after making my initial reservation. We sat in the outside patio with two large tables. So it felt like a private room, no other customer sat near with us. Service was good and they bought out drinks and food fairly quickly. The menu is pretty extensive - you can get oysters, fried chicken, pasta to creole food. Food was pretty good and I enjoyed their happy hour special. We were able to order 6 dozen blue point oysters for $1 each! Also, we ordered fried wings and pitcher of beer for $20. With that many of us, I was able to try a lot of the dishes but it was hard to capture picture before anyone dig into it. Oysters - fresh and sweet Mexican Street Corn - cook nicely with proper toppings Honey Nutty Chicken & Garlic Soy Sauce Chicken - crispy and perfectly cooked Fried Wings - Super crispy, great bar food Garlic Brussels Sprouts - nothing special Fire Chicken (half spicy chicken & half cheese) - Beware of the spice! Garlic Noodles with Shrimp - mediocre, perhaps they used the wrong type of noodles Stir fried chicken gizzard - good flavor, wish it was fried Mentaiko Pasta - creamy pasta with roe what more can ask for! Uni Pasta - I actually liked the mentaiko more but still good Louisana Inspired Shrimp & Char Grilled Whole Squid - never hit my side of the table =/ Drink selection was also pretty good: tons of beers on tap even Lagunitas IPA as well as some bottle beers. They have standard soju and a few sake selection. Overall, I am really happy to try this place. I would definitely return here for drinks, fried chicken & oysters! read more

This place had korean and japanese style "fondue". The only downside was that they only had outside seating at the time and it was at least 95 out that night. The Korean "fondue" is a shareable size, so you can share it with 2-3 people and be entirely filled up. We almost ordered another dish, but glad we didn't! read more

Kitchen Sooda is solid all-around with some hidden gems if you look hard enough. +They have a ton of Korean pub food in general and some Asian fusion/cajun dishes as well which were pretty good. The Mentaiko pasta is really solid/creamy/delicious - probably the best dish we had there for about $14ish. The pricing on the food overall isn't bad for about $10-$20 and are a pretty good size as well. +They have a lot of neat deals going on including a beer deal where you can get one beer for the normal price and the second beer for a penny (once per table - doesn't stack unfortunately). They also have a variety of beer, soju, and rice wine options. +Service is pretty quick and attentive so no problems there. Decor is not bad with a lot of tables indoors and outdoors and a few TV screens. +/- Valet only (some limited street parking which is par for the course) but it's pretty cheap at $2. +/- Their other food options that I've had isn't too bad and range from their specialty (the fire chicken, which personally thought was a bit much) to the variety of flavors for their chicken wings (which weren't too bad - we got the garlic flavor). All-in-all, a pretty solid place in K-Town if you're looking for a variety of food in K-Town! read more
