Dined here once before. Will definitely stick to beef bulgogi as previous experience exemplary. Ordered pork belly and found it chewy, and with an odd aftertaste. Friends claimed the same. Service friendly, staff knowledgeable. Huge outdoor sign not turned on and place surrounded by scaffolding. Hard to tell it is even open. Convenient location. Will try again.

My guest was his first time. Like everyone I bring here, they love the wings and everything else. Boom

Great place that’s a short walk to the United Center. Would highly recommend the kimchi dumplings and chicken bibimbap.

This was my second time visiting Soju BBQ, and it was just as amazing as I remembered! My friend and I came to Chicago for a concert and decided to stop by again, and it did not disappoint.
The atmosphere was lively, with great music that added to the experience. The food was absolutely delicious—everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. We especially loved the quality of the meats, and Kimchi came with our meal.
Service was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place that balances great food, a fun vibe, and excellent service, but Soju BBQ does it effortlessly.
If you're in Chicago and craving KBBQ, this spot is definitely worth a visit! Can’t wait to come back again.

ive never eaten the kalbi ribs so tough and cooked over well-done. the sauce tasted like those premade sauces unfortunately. had high hopes but fell quite short :( the kimchi jiggae was also so salty but the beef bulgogi was decent

Making a reservation was super easy! We had a reservation for Valentine’s Day and they had a table ready for us when we got there. The food was amazing and our server was so sweet and friendly! Would definitely come back. There are no grills but the meat is cooked so perfectly. Would 100% recommend!!

This place is a must whenever go to United Center. Food is amazing, and especially the fried chicken appetizer.

I was craving some juicy Korean bbq and ordered from Uber Eats because it is halal. But oh my god! The Buldak Spicy Chicken is to die for! The sweet savory tofu is exceptional! Not only that, they tossed in extra dumplings(on the house) which were so plump and delicious! Absolutely in love with the staff on the phone who was very patient and kind! Next time we all know where to go when we crave some Korean BBQ ❤︎
The food is tasty. One thing to note, You will be charged 15% gratuity fees even if you come eat alone, which does not make sense.

Worst customer service from a restaurant I have ever experienced. The reason I am giving one star is because google doesn’t allow zero star.

It was tasty .The atmosphere was nice .We enjoyed the food.The price seemed considerate on the first hand but while paying we got to know that they have 15-20% built in tips which seemed expensive

The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived. The bathrooms and restaurant itself were clean and nicely furnished. The food left us underwhelmed. We ordered the loaded fries but they were too salty and the texture didnt go together well. There was very little meat for the price.
The kimchi dumplings were okay they lacked flavor. They needed the chili sauce to be good.
The KFC was good. We got it sweet. The sauce was wonderful. We needed a little extra sauce because it was on the thin side.
The best thing we received was the chicken bibimbap. It was flavorful and all of the textures worked well together. I could order it again.
The bill came out to ~$60 before service charges for the 5 items and it didnt feel worth it. I don't see myself returning.

Huge fan of this place. Always recommend the bulgogi and LA Kalbi. Great spot to visit next to United Center right before a game or concert!!
