This is such a great spot to drink and eat! Best for friends to meet up, chat, and enjoy the relaxing environment while enjoying familiar flavors! So thankful for the delicious food and familiar textures and flavors. The best drink of the night was the lychee pitcher drink!
Told me last call is at 1:15, they have pamphlets saying drinks toll 1:20 and it was 1:17 when I went in

i’ve ordered from ubereats from here at least 5 times, and it’s been consistently great every time. i get tteokbboki cravings, and it’s a really good amount of spicy without being too spicy. they’re really generous with the portions and toppings, like cheese! their corn cheese is really good too. always fresh, hot, and carefully packaged. i order for one person and have at least 3 meals worth.

Bad service, the guy show off his attitude towards guests. I checked the menu on google business and order fried chicken but he said this was not the right restaurant and didn't have fried chicken at all. So I rank 1 star that means it will not effect the real Soju Belly restaurant. Futher more the food is not so good, I order seafood pancake but one slide got the rotten squid, it's not fresh.

Came here around 8PM on a Saturday night as a group of 7. It was not too busy so we were seated quickly and the service was very quick! We ordered the Pineapple and Watermelon Soju Cocktail, a few Beers and bottle of Soju, and some Regular Fries. The Fries were crispy and came with a side of ranch and ketchup. I wished they were seasoned a little bit more. The Pineapple/Watermelon Soju came in their respective fruits. I was a little disappointed to see that both cocktails had so much crushed ice in it which made it very watered down. For the price, I think it's better to stick with the other cocktails.

The food was excellent. We got the Seafood pancake (my friend thought it was little grease.. I didn't). Kimchi rice was delicious. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Love the vibes inside.

We were looking for a late night spot in Koreantown and came across this spot. I love how they have different type of music like kpop, edm, and hip hop. It was super packed at 1 am on a Saturday. I love the unique pop art.You can click a button to call the staff over. They came to check in several times. I will say this place is more expensive than what I was expecting. We got the lychee yogurt soju, which was really strong and I wish it was mixed more. I would come back for the fruit one. The popcorn chicken was one of my fav I've had. It's crispy and not dry at all in the middle. I love the salad that came with it. The cheesy pork cutlet was little bit dry but it cut smoothly. The bulgogi Cheese fries was very soggy because of the sauce. This is a great place to hangout with friends.

My visit here was quite an experience. We arrived just in time to beat the crowd, and the music was at a reasonable volume. However, as the night picked up, the crowds noice level increased, making it increasingly challenging to hear my table's conversation. I found myself raising my voice to be heard.We decided to try the pineapple soju, which was super refreshing, but it wasn't as strong as we had imagined. It was so tasty that I plan to order it again next time, along with a soju bottle to keep topping it off.For a bite to eat, we ordered the spicy fish cakes, and they were a delightful mix of semi-sweet and spicy flavors. Visited around 9 pm on a Friday night and had a great time overall.

Very disappointing. My 2 friends and I came here for dinner on a Monday night, so we ordered our food and drinks after taking a few minutes looking at the menu items. Service was ok, except that the food and drinks were delicious with a generous amount to share. After my friends and I were finished, the bill came out and we all paid including tips as well. However, the male waiter returned back with our money and tips and awkwardly asked us why we tipped less than 10% gratuity because their gratuity should be around 20% or more as told by his manager. On the bill, NOWHERE it says about the gratuity so I was surprised and shocked why they come to our table and expect more. They even overcharged us for an extra bottle of soju when we only ordered 5. I think that's ridiculous. Next time, please add your gratuity at the bottom of the receipt to let others know what you guys expect. Otherwise, you would only offend others if you come up to their table and asked this kind of question by your manager. We only tip the amount by how we want to tip. After this, I don't think my friends and I would ever come back again.UPDATE: I went back to the restaurant yesterday and explained everything to the male server about the extra item on the bill. Luckily, I took a picture of the receipt that night when my friends and I hungout. The manager wasn't there during that time so I had to come back today and they refunded me right away. I changed 1 star to 3 stars now, only because they were very understanding and apologized for the mistake they made, unlike other restaurants I went to.
This is a nice late night korean restaurant that serves typical korean bar food. I thought all the menu items here were really good such as the spicy korean fried chicken which had a nice spice to it. The seafood pancake was very filling and the sauce that came with it was phenomenal. The corn cheese was an absolute delicious dish that everyone needs. The kimchi fried rice was nice and spicy but it was a bit too moist for my liking. My group did not get any alcoholic beverages but it looked pretty good. The fishcake soup was just not that appetizing and to be quite frank, it wasn't that good. It was pretty much a peppery soup. I would rather go to misoolkwan oc than here but if misoolkwan closes, then go here.

Lively, yet comfortable atmosphere with wonderful customer service. The prices are due to the plentiful, sharing-sized portions! The food is fresh and high quality. The Spicy Braised Seafood never ran out of various seafood as I ate. Such a wonderful experience. I can't wait to return!

Had a good time here!Liked the ambiance and the service was great! Really good servers! My friends and I came for a quick snack and some drinks before we went karaoke-ing. We ended up ordering the Bulgogi Cheese Fries and a Watermelon Cocktail along with soju. The Bulgogi Cheese Fries were great drunchies. The bulgogi was solid and the amount of cheese on it ... *drool. haha It's a fun appetizer and exactly as you'd expect! I'd order it again. The Watermelon Cocktail was good. It kind of separated and it goes down a bit chunky. It's not a necessarily smooth drink, but it tasted good and did the job. I wonder if the pineapple one would taste better, but I loooove watermelon. I wanted it to be colder as well!Overall, it was a great and I'd come back for drinks and a snack!

A total mess! Beware of this shady place! They charge us for 20% gratuity even when the service was horrible and the food was just OK. Afterwards we found out they even charged the wrong table on us! When we left they again claimed that we didn’t pay them enough money just to find out later it was their fault not counting all the money properly. AND NOT A SINGLE APOLOGY!AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST! THERE ARE FAR BETTER KOREAN RESTAURANTS WITH BETTER SERVICE AND QUALITY IN THE AREA.
