Came here after Head in the Clouds with my friends! We came around 12:15am, and there was a pretty…read morebig line outside, so we had to wait a bit, but we got seated pretty quick (15-20min). We ordered the honey garlic chicken, seafood pancake, tteokbokki, and corn cheese. For 4 people this was a good amount of food. First off the honey garlic chicken was AMAZING. the chicken was super juicy and crispy and the honey made the fried skin taste like a biscuit. It was actually insane, I would come back here just for the chicken, 10/10. The seafood pancake was also amazing. It was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It had lots of shrimp and squid, and dipped in the sauce it was delicious, 10/10. I'd say both the corn cheese and tteokbokki were not super worth it. The tteokbokki was relatively small, given the price. And it was quite spicy, a little too spicy for me. The corn cheese tasted like butane gas, or how a birthday candle smells, so it was just alright. Both were a 5/10. I would definitely come back again to try more food!

Ordered the Prime Flower Boneless Short Rib, Prime Rib Eye, Prime Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, and Prime Galbi. All the meats were pure quality! I definitely shade more towards marinated meats than unmarinated meats, but all of them were fantastic. Service here is really good as well. They're all really friendly here. As expected with a non-AYCE KBBQ place, they do cook all your meats. I will also note that this is one of the nicest KBBQ restaurants I've been to from a layout perspective. Unlike most KBBQ restaurants which seem very crammed, the tables are really spaced out and the ventilation is top notch. Felt very comfortable in here. Although Soh doesn't compare to the absolute best KBBQ restaurants in Koreatown, I would definitely take it over some of Koreatown spots for sure. Definitely worth a visit.

Ordering outside the butchers choice deals seemed a little pricey. The waiters were kind and kept checking in on us. They also cook the meat for you. We had the bulgogi and pork belly which were cooked perfectly and the combo even came with alllll the best banchan, tofu soup, and even two beers. Um yes please. All for $117 with taxes etc. Overall 10/10 would be back again for one of the butcher's choice combos.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked in and found myself at the counter. I felt at ease as I was greeted by a friendly staff member. I explained that I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and would like to have some suggestions. I needed more help than his time permitted and was then greeted by a friendly staff member/lead whose name was Tess. She was incredible! She explained all of the options for each dish once she knew what my preferences were. I knew that I wanted an appetizer, a chicken dish and a beef dish. I was interested in trying their most popular selections. She explained that a lot of people come there to have the all-you-can-eat option.I wanted a meal to go and ordered the following: LA Galbi BBQ Plate Chicken Bibimbap Vegetable Pancake I decided that I wanted them spicy but not extra spicy. I also let her know that I had no allergies to food or preparation methods. After ordering, I sat in a chair near the counter and waited for my meal to be prepared. I noticed that there were large parties eating and enjoying each other's company. Surprising because I was there in early afternoon when most places have very little business. I could see that the all you can eat options available on the menu were very popular. The staff seemed always involved in keeping everything moving efficiently. Delivering foods to be cooked, checking on the grill, clearing dishes, and keeping the tables and surrounding areas clean. The aromas throughout the restaurant were enticing. My food arrived at the front desk and I was told that they had placed the banchan-the small dishes surrounding the barbecue grill-in my to-go bag. The fragrance of fresh made food emanated as I unpacked my meal. The food was as expected -spectacular! There was kimchi, a fresh lettuce salad, chopped cabbage with spice. Each one had a special flavor and spice. There were small containers of rice that paired well as I tried each item. When I got to the main meal, I started with a couple bites of the vegetable pancake. It looked and tasted great. While there were herbs and sauces that I could have put with it the flavor was so good nothing was necessary. The chicken bowl that I ordered was moist the chicken had a special kick and the vegetables were fresh and tasty. The short ribs were my favorite. While they're not inexpensive. They are worth every penny with a great umami addicting flavor. There is plenty of parking along the side streets or in front. It's nice that they not only have inside seating but a patio available outside the back area of the restaurant. Excellent food! Excellent service! Friendly staff! Everything that you could want when you go to enjoy your meal.

Then we get to the table and one of us already ate lunch so she only ordered a separate dish like $12-15 for one perdon. Only two had the All You Can Eat BBQ for $49.99. The Korean dude serving us had the nerve to say if your friend ever takes anything from the BBQ, we will charge her the $49.99. The nerve!!! Didn't even notice the gold rolex I'm wearing and here accusing us of potentially stealing meat from a $49.99 buffet. My Gucci hat is more than he can make a day! Then we ordered the drinks, he screwed that up too. One drink never came. And then he came back one time with an attitude tone- what do you want next (for your BBQ)? Mind you, were paying $49 each and he only previously brought 3 items that skinnier than your dryer sheets meat. And Dude, it's an all you can eat - what is the problem? The guy never came back so we asked another Korean dude that was very nice. And the non-Korean folks there are absolutely amazing including the one woman thats there - cheerful and super kind. I never had this horrible service before and this skinny Korean guy probably only gives poor service to women. Such a skinny dude that's so unhappy and takes out his bad attitude to customers. He probably wont be giving this attitude to my police officer bro thats 6 ft 4. Since we're not coming back, buyer beware and if i were you i will go somewhere else with better service and will treat women with respect and not accuse you of scamming them with Korean BBQ! Tired of this people that are customer facing but cant deal with human beings. They cant smile or be grateful that customers go visit their restaurant. Go away and work where you don't see people so you can be happy! Don't spoil people's meal especially when the bill is over $100 for lunch!!! Youre not paying us to be there, were paying you!!!

This time, since I'm Korean, I decided to speak Korean, but the service was even worse. I don't understand why the staff come across as so dismissive and cocky. From my experience, whether you speak English or Korean, the attitude seems to depend entirely on their mood. It also doesn't help that the restaurant feels very hot inside, as they don't seem to run the air conditioning, which may contribute to the unpleasant atmosphere. Quality is getting worse and sloppy. Unfortunately, because of the poor customer service, I won't be returning.

Not sure if Chinese or Korean inspired. The Sushi menu is a bit limited in variety and the meat on the skewers were small and may not be marinated. We tried beef, pork, chicken and lamb. They were not tender. I was only able to eat the chicken. The soup was too spicy for my taste. The floor near the salad bar area was sticky. The rice on the sushi tolls had an unusual texture.

The best item was the carpaccio (you can only have one order). The skewers were mostly a miss as they were dry, the pork skewers were probably the best made as it was fresh and juicy. It seemed that the beef and lamb skewer were sitting for a while and just heated up. The steamed egg was clearly microwaved from the texture. Some of the fried items like the Takoyaki, siomai, and Tempura tasted like it was bought premade (frozen) and deep fried. The roll items we got were decent but a little misleading because hand roll were pictured on their menu but they were sushi rolls . Most items were on paper plates which I found a little odd for a dine in restaurant. The food definitely took a while especially the skewers. Our last order of skewers we had to ask twice because it got lost in the mix. Over all it felt like a below mediocre buffet experience. I hope they improve the quality of food and the timing of food. For the price we paid for, I would have rather gone to AYCE hotpot or kbbq.
