We ordered the soy garlic wings, beef tartare, army stew, and seafood pancake to share. Everything came out surprisingly fast, and the food was delicious. Definitely a great selection for sharing with a group. Special shoutout to our server, Irene! She was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations on what to order. She was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Great food, great vibes, and great service. Would definitely come back!

Soju Tavern is an awesome spot located at the corner of the plaza…read more The ambiance of this place really stood out. It's dark with rainbow Christmas lights and moving lights in the place. A true tavern vibe. The menu is vast and you have the choice to get both food and drinks. I came here with a friend and we shared the pork belly + Kimchi dish and got a pitcher of beer and soju. Absolute delicious! The kimchi is good quality, and the pork belly was delicious. The staff is nice and the service is quick. I'll definitely be returning! A fun establishment to come to with friends.

I drive by this place everyday on my way home from work and had no idea that it was here. I think…read moreit used to be a sushi place and I just never paid attention. I came here today for lunch and I got a Kbop bowl with beef bulgogi and chicken and a large Korean glass noodle. Total was around $22 so it is a little expensive, but the portion size is pretty decent. I wish there was a bit more protein and maybe less salad, but they give you a lot of rice and the bowl filled me up. The glass noodles also tasted really good and it was a pretty big portion for only $6.00. Place was clean and the worker was friendly. I ordered online and the food was ready when they said it would be. Parking lot is tiny, so it might be hard to get a space if it's really busy. Overall, the food was pretty tasty and the menu is pretty big. I will definitely be back to try some other things on the menu.

KBOP Korean Kitchen is a solid, convenient spot for a quicker bite! Located right next to Mt. SAC,…read moreparking can be a bit tricky to find during peak school hours, but it's manageable. The interior is clean, modern, and bright. The setup is simple--you order your food at the counter and wait for them to prepare it. The food was decent overall. We tried the kimchi fried rice and the bowl with galbi. While it wasn't extraordinary, it was satisfying and hit the spot. Good place to drop by if you're in the area (or if you are mt. sac student).

I haven't been here in so long, I missed it! I had some friends come by so I recommended this as…read morethey give you huge portions to share. We ordered the A set, which is the basic set of just the rice cakes, boiled eggs and veggies. WARNING: When it's time to choose the spice levels, CHOOSE MILD. I nearly forgot how strong their spice levels are, but luckily I remembered in time and we switched to mild. Even at mild, it sent my friend to the bathroom and we didn't see them for 10 minutes. (Last visit we got medium and my other friend had the same incident). I'd also like to point out that I usually have a pretty good spice tolerance, but even I needed a lot of drinks for this. That being said, it's VERY enjoyable. It's not a warning to stay away, just a warning that this place MAY humble you lol. Our server was very nice and helped explain the different things on the menu (Yupdduk vs Yup Oh) since they had the same descriptions. Also helped us with water refills when they realized we were dying. It's also pretty quiet in here so it's a great place to share food and chat with friends. Highly recommend bringing spicy loving friends here or just someone you don't like and would like to humble (Have not done this yet, but maybe once day).

I really liked the food here, but the spice scale seriously threw me off…read more I already knew Yup Dduk had a reputation for being extremely spicy, so I specifically ordered the Rosé Yup Dduk at Extra Mild. I wasn't expecting it to be completely non-spicy. I figured Extra Mild would still have a little kick, just something I could actually handle. It was still REALLY spicy. I'll admit I don't have a high spice tolerance, but my fiancée does. She loves spicy food and is usually the reason I end up trying spicy things in the first place. Even she thought this was way too spicy for something called Extra Mild. We honestly weren't sure we were going to finish it. That's what made this kind of frustrating because the food itself was really good. I loved the flavor and actually wanted to keep eating it, but the heat made it difficult to enjoy as much as I wanted to. Maybe that's just how their scale works and Extra Mild really means "the least spicy version of an extremely spicy dish." If that's the case, I definitely think first-time customers should know that going in. I'd still recommend the food if you have a serious spice tolerance, but if you're ordering Extra Mild because you're expecting something normally considered mild, just be prepared. Even Extra Mild has a lot of heat.

I recently moved to the area with my wife and wanted to try a local KBBQ spot. During a…read moreneighborhood walk, we saw this restaurant and felt the inkling to try it especially since there was a sign that indicated under new management. Upon entering the restaurant the host was friendly and seated us without a reservation which was very convenient since we were starving. The restaurant was clean and there were some TVs that were playing sports channels. We were given standard banchan and the steamed egg was cooked perfectly. The menu had an array of options such as prefixed combo and ala carte selections. We choose the mid level combo and wow there was ALOT of meat. My wife and I were blown away at the value of the combo because we underestimated how much brisket, bulgogi and short ribs would be coming. The server was attentive and assisted us with cooking our meats perfectly. The meat cuts were great and very flavorful so we ate to our hearts content until we were able to satiate our appetites. Overall the experience was so great that I came back a second time with my mom and brother and they enjoyed the place as well! I recommend this KBBQ spot to anyone looking for a great value and good service!

Came here on a Friday night and it was quite a strange experience. The parking lot was empty, but…read morethe restaurant was open. We went inside and the entire place was empty and quiet, except for a smaller room on the side which had one party in it. It took a while for us to be greeted by anyone, but after someone walked out and saw us, we were quickly seated in the empty part of the restaurant. We ordered C2, which is a combo for 2 people. The quality of the meat was pretty good, I have to say. And the staff member cooked the meat for us; however, there were times when she was cooking the meat and left, and we could tell the meat was burning. She would come back after a while to flip the meat, but for some cuts, it was a little darker than desired. The sides were just alright, and it took some time to get refills on water. Overall, for the price you are paying, which was about $85 after tip, I feel there are far better places for KBBQ.

First time I've ever had this dish. Pleasantly surprised…read more Got the spicy miso and the Champion, also the Yuzu tea. Everything was great. Tea wasn't overly sweetened, and quite pleasant and refreshing. The tea didn't have the bitter yuzu aftertaste that some people don't like. The server turned out to be one of the managers and he was great! Helped us decided and didn't try to upsell us towards anything crazy. I don't forget the rice at the end. Reminds me of a creole pan roast. Location was clean and simple. Can't wait to go back.

Service was friendly even when they were super busy and overall liked the chill vibes. My friend and I both got the classic mazesoba and found it nice and filling. We were both too full for rice at the end but really liked how it wasn't as heavy as some other spots we've tried. We both are a little heavy handed with the vinegar and were surprised when it tasted like there was some already in the dish which helped it taste more balanced for us. Overall, glad to see this small spot thriving and would definitely come back if I'm craving mazesoba. Their menu is pretty big too so would be interested in trying some of their other items as well.

They also have private karaoke rooms that you can rent out. The rooms are big and can fit around 6-10 people. What's my menu? - Beef skewers - Fried rice - Corn cheese - Seafood ramen - Chinese sausages - Fried calamari - Lemonade - Beef bone marrow They have other menus which is pretty big and affordable. My only complaint is that the restaurant is mainly Chinese, it will be a much better experience if English options are available. My whole group did not speak Chinese and it was a bit difficult to navigate the karaoke room.
