Amazing food, excellent service and huge servings. Every single thing we tried was just excellent. The crispy tofu was truly killer and the kalbi beef was everyone’s favorite. We enjoyed the kimchi nachos, the tteoboki (I’m sure I spelled that incorrectly), the bibimbap – really just everything we tried was just perfect. This might be our new go to for Korean food!

Loved Soju! We ordered the kimchi nachos, which came with crispy wonton chips instead of regular tortilla chips and it was really filling. The fried chicken was crunchy and delicious. The only dish I was a bit disappointed with was the three-cheese tteokbokki; it just wasn’t cheesy.
I loved the aesthetic of the place. It was cozy, trendy, and great for hanging out with friends. Overall, I definitely want to back to try other dishes!

Made it into Soju after showing up too late for dinner a couple times, so my anticipation was building!
It was worth the effort, this has it all.
I’m going to say Best Damn French Fries in Pittsburgh!
The ladies were very pleased with the cocktails, said the Purple Haze was the best drink they’d had in a long time!
Apps and dinner were full of great flavors and textures. My Gransdson shared our enthusiasm for the fries, loved’em! fyi no highchairs.
…we snuck over to Butterjoint for Vinegar Pie for dessert, shhhhhh

We’ve been on a Korean kick so figured let’s give it a shot! For drinks I ordered the Soju Punch and my wife had the Soju Saenggang Bae (sans alcohol). Mine was ok, I didn’t mind it but her drink was definitely better so I wound up ordering one for myself with alcohol. It was super refreshing and had a nice citrus bite to it! My punch drink was definitely more tiki / island and not as much citrus as I was hoping for.
We started with the gimbap with marinated beef. I really liked this, we had never had gimbap before but it was fresh and light and I liked the pickled radish in it. We did feel it would have benefitted from something like a soy drizzle or a sauce but it was good enough I would like to explore finding more of it!
For our mains I ordered the Korean BBQ combo plate and she had the pineapple salmon. The BBQ was tasty, the smoky flavor of the grill came through. I wish the pork was a bit spicier, normally when I see “spicy” on Asian dishes it’s pretty hot, but this was more mild, and I prefer the heat a little more. Overall the rice and the beef short ribs / bulgolgi were really delicious and I liked my dish a lot. Clare loved her dish, it doesn’t get more her than salmon, pineapple, radishes and sweet potatoes!
I definitely would love to come back and try more and I think it’s a great spot, really good food and cool vibes in my opinion.

A local fixture, Soju genuinely never disappoints. The staff is always super attentive and fun (shoutout Corwin) and the menu is varied and consistently delicious. There’s always something new to try, delicious specials to catch, and it’s always so welcoming. Profoundly worth your time!

Let me start by saying that if you want a taste of actual Korean food, go somewhere else. This place is just Korean flair mixed with American hipster, bland with no spice. Food was good, but very overpriced. There was only two of us and we spent $100 with tip. It’s hard to catch your waiter when only one person is waiting on all the tables in the restaurant and bartending. The Gimbap isn’t rolled tight enough, so it just falls apart, and the meat was cold. Kimchi fried rice was okay, but needed more spice. Katsu had a great crunch, but a small piece of chicken for $12 is crazy. All in all, it was okay. I’m definitely upset I went out of my way to come here, just to get an okay dining experience.

Great little spot, solid Korean food with an American touch! We just moved here so we are hunting for spots to frequent and this totally makes the list! Really cool staff, great vibe.
We got a few drinks, all great, and a few appetizers to start. Kimchijeon (Korean Pancake) and Tteokbokki were both the perfect amount of spice and had great flavor, highly recommend!

Delicious Korean food in Garfield on Penn. Not able to make reservations but luckily we had no wait when we showed up with 3. Seems like a good place for small groups of 4ish. Lots of shareable plates and entrees. We tried the Korean fried chicken, Korean BBQ combination plate, Korean fries and pineapple salmon. All very delicious. Definitely will be back again

Went on a Saturday evening. Nice staff, cute bar, fresh atmosphere and great food of course. Tucked in with so many yoga studios, you might miss it. We were too full for dessert but our appetizers and entrees were delicious. The cocktails were refreshing as well. Perfect little spot for a date, friends, or family.
