Came here for dinner on a Friday night around 8:30pm. We were seated immediately and the food was quick to arrive after ordering. We did the rose rice cakes with cheese, japchae, korean fried chicken, and kimchi pancakes. More than enough food for 3 people. The rice cakes were my favorite - but everything was good. Definitely plan on coming back. The service at the end took a little longer but it had no impact on our overall experience

I attended an event that shares a building with this restaurant. While waiting for a friend after the event I saw 2 tubs of meat, sitting on the ground. There is also no way the meat was being kept within safe food temps like this. This is against about every food code there is.

Fantastic vibes and true fusion of Korean culture and the maximalist punk vibes of Seattle. A true savior for the Thursday 11pm out on the town crowd with some incredible food.
Really incredible service to top it off!

It used to be a good place in the past. Food was so so. Service was horrible, the lady serving us put spam on one of the fried rice while we clearly order one with spam and the other without spam. When we notified the staff about it and sent the bowl back. It didn't stop there, she brought the bowl back and started telling us that the spam shouldn't be there and she made sure of that.
2nd attempt of sabotage was during checkout when this same lady didn't bring us cheese corn and told other staffs that she did serve us. One of the other staff went in to check the table and found out it was not there and the lady still continues saying that she didn't know what happened. The 2 stars were for earlier good memories we had of these place. Planning not to go back there again.
hands down best service in a soju spot in seattle!!!

Very good bar food kinda place. Beware though that both their "shareables" and "main entrees" section have very big portion that's usually like 1.5 the portion of many restaurants near by, so prepare to bring friends and share! Their beer tower is also very cool for large groups, though they advertise it to have be mixed with Yakult and I only taste beer so.
The sanitary conditions in the kitchen behind the bar are very poor and the prices are expensive. Server is unfriendly....

Great japchae noodles. I wish the bibimbap was on a warmed bowl, but overall great Korean food.

?: 10/10. We ordered so many food that I am too tired to lost them out here! But they are all Incredibly Delicious and Amazing! I can't say enough but my favorite is the rose tteobokki, and the fried chicken! We also got the Korean fried rice and seafood pancake! Best I have ever had! PERIOD! I also got the honey almond butter makoli ! OMG best alcohol I have ever had in 2024! ???: 10/10: SHOUT OUT TO SUMIN! THE BEST OF THE BEST! she is very sweet, kind and very attentive! Queen slay!! WE LOVE HER SO MUCH! ?: 8/10: The decors are very cute and makes me feel like I am in Korea! I really enjoyed the dim light and it was very cozy and feels like Korea! Very easy to find parking and low key this place is a hidden gem! Very clean and I can tell they put effort into this restaurant!
After standing for 6+ hours of waiting in line for a delayed concert and enjoying the concert, my friends and I were starving and we were looking for a good restaurant that closed late since the concert finished around closer to midnight. As tourists, we were so excited to try Soju Anju. The food was delicious but unfortunately the service was poor. Our server was quite rude, she had an attitude in her tone when taking our order/serving us, made it seem like even asking for more water was a big inconvenience. Granted there was only 1 other table she was accommodating upon our arrival, and 1 other after we were seated (3 tables total). We gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought well it’s late and maybe she’s tired or having a bad day, but good service is still important, so it was quite disappointing.

I enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant and the waiter was attentive. The food came out quickly and straight off the grill-sizzling on the little stone plates. Unfortunately that’s where the pros end, time for the cons: the food in general was ok and overpriced. The kimchi was clearly from a jar bought at the grocery store, the fried chicken was minuscule (at least it was hot and crispy), and the prices were quite high, $16 for a bottle of soju, $32 for a pitcher. $27 for a bulgogi, $32 for the pork belly, and an 18% service charge. For good food I don’t mind paying a premium, but this just wasn’t it. Korean Tofu House is superior for half the price. Read the other reviews before you come here

Good Korean food and good service. Love that it's open late nights.

Fantastic Asian street food. The tables are a bit “cozy”; however good company and Soju’s great food and drinks outshine the table situation.
