I went for the first time tonight and I will say this is one of my new favorite spots! My group ordered 2 flavors of soju cocktail lilikoi (passion fruit) and yogurt, both flavors were very tasty and are large enough to share. Also ordered some honey garlic wings, kimchi fried rice, and spicy mochi, tasty as well. I will suggest ubering here because you will have such a good time! I enjoyed the music inside with modern kpop and hip pop and even more so the private karaoke room. Me and my friends sang so many songs we ran out of our cash. To add to the good times, this place stays open late. Enjoy if you visit this place!
This was the dirtiest place I have ever been too. The owner should be embarrassed. I wish I could give 0 stars. Hostess was nice tho. That's why I gave 1 star. I was there for 10 minutes and I feel like I need a shower. The ac drained into an antifreeze jug.

Was a good fun atmosphere. The food was pretty good. I got the bone in ribeye and for this place not being a steakhouse it was pretty damn good. This was a special item request that wasn't on the menu. They don't have this cut of steak all the time so when it's available definitely go for it.

We came to Soju Bang for a holiday party. PSA: the front door is blacked out but it's open! I almost thought I was in the wrong place because I couldn't see through the door or hear anything. I was greeted immediately and taken to our room we booked ahead of time. Our party was about 15 relatively large people and fit fine in the room. You have to download their app to access the song book. And the machine is $2 per song. Overall a good song selection. I felt like one of the mics wasn't working so well but that's okay. The food is typical bar food. I enjoyed it. Had the boneless garlic fried chicken, Kim chi fried rice, and fries. Also tried the mandoo and my friends loved the soju cocktails.

Great vibes here. This was the last part of our night but I wish we had gotten here earlier because it was a lot more fun than walking around Chinatown on a Friday night.

Great food and drinks. Food is a little on the pricey side with the add ons but they offer a wide variety of different foods. It's also on the darker side (less light) inside but I believe that's the vibe of the place.

This is a really cool place. It's primarily a karaoke place but they also have ample seating for dinner. The service was great and the food was great. They have a large selection of Korean-inspired dishes. If you are in the Ala Moana/Don Quixote area come check this place out.

A great place for a party with friends. Though if you want to go Friday or Saturday might want to call in for a reservation. Karaoke machines had a pretty updated catalog but it is $2 a song. The alcohol choices were really good and I liked the different soju flavors. Ube though is really sweet and got one of the nastiest hangovers. Though its fun and service is really good.

Open late, great food, fun vibes!Highly recommend before/after a night out. Pork belly and kimchi was delicious. Definitely try the Milk Tea Soju!
Soju Bang. Restaurant, Bar & Karaoke. With that said, this is a review of the bar/restaurant. We came on a Friday night around 11 pm. Busy but no wait needed for a table. Came with a few boys to grab a few soju drinks. We order their ube and melona cocktail soju which is $21 each. While waiting for our drinks, we decided to get some of their chicken wings too. PS: if you're ordering wing's you 100% need to get cheese with them. You'll thank me later. Soju was top tier. My favorite was the melona flavored one. May be bias as my favorite ice cream bar is the melona honey dew bar. But with that aside, it really is good. You can barely taste the alcohol but you for sure can feel it later. Ube was pretty good as well. With 5 guys the bottles went empty pretty fast. The wings were sooooo good. With the cheese melted on top it was A1! Wished the wings were a bit bigger in size but portion wise, it was okay for the price. Service was fast and easy to order. Multiple staff walking around and checking up on their customers. Songs playing are good too and gets you in a party mode vibe, especially after a few shots of soju. Worth giving this place a go if you're out with friends, craving soju or wanting to eat some Korean food.

This place has changed ownership so many times and also name changes as well and I've been to all of them! Lol the only thing is that the parking lot is not free to park any more! I swear the things people do to make money!! It used to be free but now you pay thru an app for parking.When had a party of 8 this night and the room that we got literally only fits 6 but you gotta squeeze every one to fit 8. I just wish we had gotten the bigger room. Haha but the machines are $2 per song and it sucks that if you switch from Korean to English the machine will eat your money! I feel like they need to change the machines so that you can just search all on one or you can interchange from English and Korean without the machines eating your money!!The food is good though and it has been good throughout the different ownership. I don't know if it is the same or different ownership but I mean with name change you would think it is. Haha anyways the rose rice cake/mochi/tteokbokki is really good! I really like the gizzards, the honey garlic chicken wings were good too! Haha I feel like food at any bar is most time good! I don't know how that works! XDAnyways I would come back again but it's just so expensive to pay $2 per song and if you mess up there's no turning back, you just lost $2! Other than that is a nice place to hang out with friends every now and then!
