I go here every time I visit the city, and it's a great dining experience every single time. My most recent trip, I took my family for their first time, and they all were amazed by the quality of food and service. Food details: 1. Clear Clam Soup w/ flat noodles: if you like a strong clam broth, you'll like this one. The clams we had were meaty and the flat noodles really complemented the texture of the clams 2. Seafood Pancake: you get plenty of actual seafood and not just filler batter 3. Marinated Pig's Trotter: the softest jokbal I've ever had, worth the price Only gripe: no more barley tea We reserved a spot for 6:30pm and were seated right away, right before it got packed (about 7/7:30pm). Even with the rush, the level of attentiveness from staff was exceptional. We all can't wait to visit again! read more

Classic place to go before going out for the night! [[HIGHLIGHT]]To get here you'd have to take an elevator and once you come in it looks a lot more fancier than you'd think![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's tables on either side and lots of Asian people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everything is shareable and pretty yummy. We ordered the watermelon soju to share, pork intestine, omelette roll, pork belly, oxtail and the cold noodle to share amongst three. That was a good amount for us as we don't eat that much. Everything was brought out to us fairly quick and easy. The garlic chips were really yummy on the beef intestine and the cold noodle was surprisingly pretty spicy. The omelette was super soft and tasty as well! I definitely prefer the beef intestine and oxtail here the most and will be back to eat it again with other things. Definitely can see why this is people's go-to spot during the night as we came here around 10/11. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great late night korean pocha spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was craving 보쌈 Korean boiled pork wraps, it was filling and delicious. I went on a Saturday night around 8pm and the wait was about 20-25min. Not too long! The entrance of this restaurant is sorta hidden, you have to go into the lobby of the building. Go up the elevator to the 2nd floor. read more

Came to Sojuhaus last night to celebrate New Year's Eve and had a fantastic experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a party of eight, I was a bit nervous about finding a place that could accommodate us on such a busy night, but Sojuhaus had the perfect setup for large groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was lovely and lively--super energetic, and it genuinely felt like everyone was having a great time, including our group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was phenomenal. Our server was incredibly patient, helpful, and truly added to the fun of the evening. The food was also great, with generous portions--we ordered about five to six dishes, and everyone left feeling full and satisfied. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! Note: Amex or cash only. Also, the entrance can be a bit confusing at first since you have to walk through what looks like a residential or business lobby, but there are clear signs that guide you to the restaurant. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]High energy and vibrant night life like Korean spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Was a bit of a wait during peak dinner time but not too bad. Wait was about 30 min without a resy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is loud but not where you can't make convo inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered the kimchi stew and bulgogi and it was just the right amount of food for two people. The portion sizes are pretty good. Soup was pretty flavorful, but the bulgogi was just okay. Wish it had a bit more spice to it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall the atmosphere is def a fun place for a night out of drinking or celebrating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Coming here for an early dinner on a weekend was a good choice, as my friend and I were able to get a table within 10 minutes without a reservation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While we started our dinner being able to have a conversation, we could eventually hear many peoples' conversations around us, but the noise level was not too bad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For two people, we ordered their Seafood Pancake and Sizzling Bulgogi. Both portion sizes were generous! The Sizzling Bulgogi did come out hot, and there was a good amount of meat for the dish. The Seafood Pancake was easy to share between the two of us as pieces were easily broken off, but I wish that it was a bit crunchier. We also were given rice dishes with egg and small anchovies since we came early enough. For the quality and amount of food, it's worth the experience and price! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lively and busy place, especially on weekends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's great for a party if you're just trynna drink and eat with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Foodwise, I don't think it's anything special, but it's solid when paired with Soju and Beers. Drinks come fast, so the night can definitely start getting lively very quickly This is a go to drinking spot, and I don't think it'll change going forward. Definitely recommend for a place with friends! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]There aren't words to describe how insanely good the food, service, and ambience of this place was.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all, the restaurant is located on the second floor of a cute, swanky apartment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You take the elevator up and get transported into a darkly lit, romantic restaurant with limited seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait in the line was worth it. The menu is full of Korean classics, and EVERY single thing we got was absolutely perfect. Visiting from Annandale, VA (where there is REALLY good Korean food), my mind was blown. The korean stew with Pork Belly is a MUST! Everything we had, honestly, is a must. You cannot go wrong here. Keep the drinks flowing and the food coming. I'm dying to go back already read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is super busy and crowded with a boisterous, lively crowd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is good, but very expensive for the portions, although to be expected for this area. Definitely expect a wait, depending on the time. Their soju carafes are good. read more

Came here on two separate occasions, one of them was when Ciara was coming out of the building with her kids. I didn't even notice until my friend pointed out, and then I digressed that Russell Wilson is playing for the Giants, so that's probably why we saw Ciara and the kids walking out of a restaurant in K-Town. Anyways...this restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, which I think pretty much every review pointed out. My favorite thing to order here was the grilled pork intestines. They do a great job preparing it and it hits the spot all the time with a side of white rice. Other things to note, carry a AMEX card as one time they told me they only accepted AMEX or cash. They do have an ATM which doesn't charge a fee, which I'm still trying to figure out how an ATM business can function without charging a fee. What a head scratcher there. The other thing is, although as the restaurant name suggests, you cannot just order drinks. They make your order one food item if you plan on just drinking. Last thing to note, a side of white rice and fried egg is free before 8PM. Otherwise it's $3. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is like a modernized Korean pocha, with round metal tables and plastic chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait to get seated was very long. The servers underestimated our wait time by nearly half. We got the kimchi fried rice and spicy soondae. A little pricey but very good. I'd love to come back to try more food and drinks when they're not as busy. read more

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 F[[HIGHLIGHT]]ried Shrimp. The Stir Fried Udon is tasty, b[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]ut if I could improve it, I would add more udon noodles. I would come back for the ambiance for sure. Attentive workers as well. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Climb a set of non-descript stairs and you'll be rewarded with this open format dining room, as expansive as their menu is long.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] K-town is always packed on weekend nights, so good luck getting a table anywhere without a wait or reservation, but you may just have a bit more luck here because of the sheer amount of tables they can fit in here and how quickly they can turn over tables. Whether you're just with one other person or with a large group, the hosts will figure out how to seat you. For a place that advertises itself as a soju haven, their kitchen is surprisingly solid. Or maybe not so surprisingly when you realize the whole point of Korean drinking culture is to pair soju with fried and salty bites. The seafood pajeon, korean fried chicken, and kimchi fried rice are my go to's, plus many bottles of different flavored soju. The food is delicious and comes out fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for the ambience, the exposed brick and hanging light fixtures make the place feel nice and modern, but it gets mega loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this for when I'm in a big group because we don't have to be conscious of our volume, but it might be a tough environment if you're trying to have 1:1 conversation without shouting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Who's trying to have an intimate conversation on a Friday night in Ktown anyway when there's peach soju to be downed and chased with the crispy corner bites of a freshly made seafood pajeon? This is the spot to get it done. read more

I came here again recently and was able to try their seafood pancake, bossam, potato pancake, and soondubu, and I just wanted to say that their food continues to be delicious! Loved their seafood pancake as it was full of seafood as well as their bossam, which came out with lots of veggies to enjoy it with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also came on a Saturday night, where there were multiple birthdays and it was so fun as the whole restaurant would sing HBD and the lights would dim![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

i wanted to try this place for along time, but i left disappointed. it's hard to find this place because it's located on the second floor and no sign on the ground you can see. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is big, the high table is way more comfortable than the low round tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]it gets loud because every is screaming when they got drunk.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was HORRIBLE. all the waiters seems like they hate their jobs. no smile and passive aggressive. didnt feel welcoming at all. we asked for some dips for some dishes because they are bland, they came over and tell us "NO , We dont do that". even we had questions about the menu and they were very impatient to answer. they never came to check on us and really hard to get their attention to order or get the bill, at the end the bill got charged wrong as well. the food are a-ok! some unique dishes but everything is a big bland. the fried chicken gizzard has NO flavor at all, when we ask if there's anything for dipping they told us "NO we dont do that", seaffod pancake barely has any seafood inside and very bland as well. the roasted oxtail has nice flavor but super thin and overpriced. the only good dish is the pork trotter. unlike the other korean restaurant, this place also didnt offer any banchan. there's a small bowl of salad with no flavor. Seriously not coming back again. read more

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! read more

Instagram : @yeapeats Writing this review because of our amazing experience with our waiter. I've been to Soju Haus before and always enjoyed it, but last night's visit stood out thanks to Daniel, our waiter. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed -- especially as tourists unfamiliar with the area. Daniel struck the perfect balance of being friendly and professional, even taking the time to joke around with us and make us feel at ease. Our party truly enjoyed his company -- he brought such great energy to the table. What really impressed us was when he noticed we were struggling to make SoMaek -- without hesitation, he offered to do it for us, making the experience even more fun and memorable. It's clear that Daniel is an essential part of the Soju Haus team, and he deserves some well-earned recognition for his exceptional service. Thank you, Daniel, for making our night extra special! read more

Soju Haus is always a must-visit when I'm in NY for school breaks. While most people come for the drinks (I mean, it is the House of Soju haha), the real reason I keep coming back is for the food. Their gopchang jeongol and sundae bokkeum are my absolute favorites--flavorful, satisfying, and just perfect. If you get there before 8pm, they'll treat you to either seaweed rice or rice with anchovies and a fried egg for FREE! And the acorn salad they serve as a side? Honestly, I wish it was a menu item because I'm always asking for more (it's that good). Oh, and a little quirky detail: they used to serve corn water instead of plain water, and I really miss it. I might be a little weird, but that corn water was honestly one of the highlights of my meal. Always a great time at Soju Haus! read more

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 read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Friday night - Arrived without reservations and had a short wait, rightttt before the crowds arrived. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is busy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's loud here so be prepared to speak loud to your party lol, but good times here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

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. read more

Soju Haus - Kimchi pancake, grapefruit soju - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

(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. read more
