My husband and I went here on a Friday night, arriving around 6ish. It wasn’t super busy yet, but a good crowd had gathered shortly after we were seated. The atmosphere was nice & the staff were very friendly and attentive.

Now, for the star of the show: the food! We got the mala soft shell crab as a starter. It was spicy & sweet at the same time; truly a delight! My husband and I both ordered the sotbap; I got the salmon and he got the short rib. Both tasted fantastic! The salmon caviar on top of the bowl added a nice, salty pop of flavor. The assortment of banchan that came with the sotbap was also very good. I also got a cocktail, the Neon Seoul, which I thought was delicious, though my husband found it a bit sweet.

We’re both still thinking about all the food the next day Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes

SOTT is easily the best Korean food in town. The Korean fried chicken, spicy seafood noodle, and gamjapot are all really good—flavorful, authentic, and perfect for sharing. The vibe is relaxed and fun, making it a great place to hang out with friends over good food and drinks. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

We visited SOTT while visiting Providence for work. I ordered the fried rice with an egg on top. My co-workers ordered different types of bulgogi. Thank you for a very delicious and pleasant dinner.

First time at SOTT and it won’t be the last! Went with two friends and we loved the menu—lots of sake options and plenty of dishes to share. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and our table had a great street view right in downtown Providence.

The food was excellent—full of flavor and huge portions, perfect for sharing with friends or family. The vibe was lowkey and chill, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommend!

Not that good :(. I looked at other reviews and I may have gotten the wrong thing? Not sure.

I got the seafood noodles with brisket and was not a fan. Broth was ok. My main issue was with oysters. A bunch of broken pieces of oyster came in my mouth. They are hard so it just became an annoying meal unfortunately cuz I had to be careful. There was a big and kinda sharp piece of oyster that was in my plate too. Shrimps were not deshelled so I had to use my hands which got messy.

Another issue I had was with their chopsticks lol. It might totally be a skill issue on my end though. They have these flat chopsticks that are hard for me to hold.

We got green mango iced tea. It was ok, nothing too crazy. It did come in a cute jug lol

My wife got tofu soup. She said she’s had better ones but it wasn’t bad. Cooked cucumbers in the soup were not welcome

We had two different soups, a jeon, and to their dessert. The jeon was delicious. Very good vegetable:batter ratio that allowed the veggies to shine. My husband’s doenjang jjigae was a bit too salty, but the soondubu was good. Nothing to write home about, but delicious for the chilly weather. The cucumber was just normal, the tofu side dish was yummy, and the kimchi was pretty odd. It was sweet, and my husband said it was “Chinese style”. I liked the broccoli a lot. Overall, the main meal was alright. Would definitely come back if I was in the area. There wasn’t any like….. tea? In most Korean restaurants the “water” they provide is a tea like a barley tea, but this was just plain water. I’m not sure if this place is owned by Koreans or not, but probably not. Either way, food was generally yummy.
The dessert was a matcha tiramisu. I don’t normally get dessert, but it sounded delicious and it was delicious! Definitely a shareable size. Not too sweet. A great end to the meal.
The staff were very attentive and always checking in.

Came to visit Providence last week, and this was the first spot I stopped by. The servers were super friendly and really helpful with answering all of our questions. The food took a little while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait—delicious dishes and a great vibe overall. They even have a photo booth for fun pictures, but make sure you’re ready before hitting start! Would come back again!

SOTT has a clean, modern setup, and we were seated promptly once noticed. For a weekday lunch, the place was almost empty, and we were invited to choose our table, which made for a pleasant start. Unfortunately, that is where the positives largely ended.

The menus handed to us were visibly crumpled cardboard—hardly what one expects at a well-rated restaurant. Beyond that, there was no real engagement. No offer of drinks, no attempt to gauge whether we were familiar with Korean cuisine, no guidance, no mention of specials, and no effort to read the table. When I asked a simple question about a dish, the server said they had never tried it and offered nothing further. The interaction felt indifferent and unempathetic, which is particularly disappointing in a hospitality setting.

We ordered two sotbap sets—one chicken and one grilled vegetable. When the food arrived, a kettle of boiling liquid was placed on the table without explanation. As someone not well-versed in Korean cuisine, I genuinely did not know how the sotbap was meant to be eaten. While the menu does include instructions, it had been taken away after ordering. When I asked the server for guidance, the response was a casual “any way you want,” which came across as dismissive.

The food itself was decent but unremarkable. The chicken was grilled well and juicy, yet surprisingly less flavorful than the vegetables. The seasoning was fine, but nothing memorable. When I asked about hot sauce options, the only suggestion was Sriracha—a missed opportunity for a restaurant centered on Korean flavors.

As we were nearing the end of the meal, the check was dropped with a quick “no hurry.” Polite, yes. Warm or welcoming, no. The service throughout felt mechanical, almost robotic, lacking the attentiveness and empathy that elevate a dining experience.

If you are already familiar with Korean cuisine and know exactly what to order, your experience here may be different, perhaps even better. We walked in with a clean slate and walked out with it still clean. The server lacked the knowledge and engagement needed to guide diners, making the experience feel transactional rather than inviting. The food was acceptable, but not compelling enough to offset the service. It would take considerable motivation for me to return.

Came for the sotbap, stayed for the brisket clam Jjambbong. Just wow. That dish was so impressive. Deep flavor. Great textures. The thing that stood out was the quality of ingredients. they don’t skimp esp on the beef quality. Will be back. Wish they had one closer to Boston!

It’s the first time I have commented with 3 stars. The menu for lunch is completely different from the one for dinner. Most of the food in pictures people posted are not available for lunch. We asked for soup refills twice but waiters and waitresses are so busy that our ramen in the pot finally became fried noodle and then became glue. Our cups are empty and nobody came to refill them. We were thirsty when leaving this restaurant. BTW, parking costs $26 and street parking is very limited. We are heading to Starbucks for some water and sandwiches now.
