Soju
Korean café in Soho
By Guy Dimond
One of many Korean restaurants to have opened in Soho in the last five years, Soju – named after the distilled Korean spirit – is comparatively tucked away, but seems constantly busy with Korean diners. All the classic dishes are there, from bibimbap – rice, vegetables and meat with a raw egg dropped on top – to some excellent kimchi (pickled vegetables) and namul (vegetable appetisers). Meats can be grilled in table-top barbecues, in the Korean way. The set lunches are good value, but choose carefully in the evening as menu becomes more extensive and fancier dishes are added. Service is sweet and competent at explaining the dishes. Drink Korean barley tea (porich’a), Korean lager, or – if you dare – soju.

this a stonking good restuarant, which stands out like a beacon amongst the tourist trap eatieries in the area. the food was excellent and importantly fresh. very good service and value for money.

THE STAFF AT SOJU RESTAURANT WERE LOVELY. THEY WERE REALLY HELPFUL AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO US, FROM WHAT DISHES TO ORDER TOGETHER TO THE AUTHENTIC WAY TO EAT THEM. THE FOOD, WE FOUND, WAS A DELIGHT TO EAT (TASTY, PLENTYFUL AND ECONOMICAL) AND THE CINNAMON PUNCH IS NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED.
you should definitely eat your dinner here! substantial 2 course meal with drinks for 2 was £47 including service.
