Came to Soh Grill House because we wanted quality Korean BBQ but didn't want to go all the way to Koreatown. Not gonna lie, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of the food here. Ordered the Prime Flower Boneless Short Rib, Prime Rib Eye, Prime Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, and Prime Galbi. All the meats were pure quality! I definitely shade more towards marinated meats than unmarinated meats, but all of them were fantastic. Service here is really good as well. They're all really friendly here. As expected with a non-AYCE KBBQ place, they do cook all your meats. I will also note that this is one of the nicest KBBQ restaurants I've been to from a layout perspective. Unlike most KBBQ restaurants which seem very crammed, the tables are really spaced out and the ventilation is top notch. Felt very comfortable in here. Although Soh doesn't compare to the absolute best KBBQ restaurants in Koreatown, I would definitely take it over some of Koreatown spots for sure. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon, no wait and we were seating promptly. This restaurant is so clean! Opted for the Lucky Split for two people. Ordering outside the butchers choice deals seemed a little pricey. The waiters were kind and kept checking in on us. They also cook the meat for you. We had the bulgogi and pork belly which were cooked perfectly and the combo even came with alllll the best banchan, tofu soup, and even two beers. Um yes please. All for $117 with taxes etc. Overall 10/10 would be back again for one of the butcher's choice combos. read more

Not too crowdy. Seated immediately. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Quick service. Definitely a must try. read more

Soh Grill House does it again. If you're looking for a spot for a larger party that is easy and never disappoints look no further. I come here often enough and it's always a pleasant experience so when we were thinking of a spot for my mom's birthday I thought this would be a great option. Ample and spacious. A little loud but to be expected. The service is incredible. Everyone is nice, patient, and efficient. Today Paul really went above and beyond and was so patient making sure our family had a pleasant experience. Even bringing my mom out ice cream and cotton candy for her birthday AND taking group photos for us. The food is amazing quality. To me much more convenient, elevated, and just as good taste wise as going to Korea town for kbbq. Also although it's generally bustling I never seem to have any difficulty getting a reservation last minute. Thanks again! read more

If you know me, you know I've made it my personal mission to highlight every go-to spot in Pasadena and this one absolutely earns its place on the list. We come here to celebrate and we come here when the craving hits and no occasion is needed. Either way, Korean food this good is always a valid reason to show up. The brisket, galbi, and bulgogi are non-negotiables and yes, they cook it right at your table on the grill, which honestly makes the whole experience. You also get Korean side dishes to snack on while everything sizzles, and I always round the table out with steamed egg, japchae, bulgogi tacos, wings, and dolsot bibimbap. The place is clean, spacious, and the staff is genuinely so kind. You leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. read more

Soh Grill House is a KBBQ restaurant in downtown Pasadena. It's a bit more upscale, and has a clean aesthetic, but still feels like a warm environment. We liked that there was good ventilation and didn't feel icky after leaving the restaurant. The waiters were really friendly and were willing to accommodate our stroller. We ordered the Lucky Split~pork belly, beef brisket, 2 tofu soups, 2 rice, 2 drinks, and ofc the appetizers. Everything was delicious and there was some leftovers between the two of us. We enjoyed not having to cook because the waiters do it for you wooo. read more

The bulgogi was so good that we ordered a second one and easily ate all of it. The corn cheese was also hella good. I feel like the sides and prices are way better at other kbbq places though so while this was good and definitely satisfied my craving for kbbq I'd just go to ktown. read more

This place was amazing! Paul was super attentive and made us all feel welcomed. The food was sooooo good. I've never liked pork belly at usual spots, but this place changed my mind. Paul cooked everything to our liking and checked in on any allergies before seating. I never leave reviews, but this place warranted it. read more

Came here a few times, just because it's convenient and closeby my home! I absolutely love the food here and the service! Ya'll know by now, I care a lot about service!

Soh Grill House - Dudes Platter - Barbeque Near Me - Pasadena, California

We were greeted and sat right away with very friendly staff, and I immediately loved the modern aesthetic and cleanliness of the restaurant. This was the first time that I have had Korean BBQ where the staff cooked it vs. the guest cooking it, and it was a very nice experience. They cooked everything perfectly and so fast. The meat was tender and juice and so flavorful. I especially loved the kimchi pancake and kimchi soup! Everything was bursting with flavor and full of freshness. Each item hit the spot and overall it was a fantastic dining experience! read more

Soh Grill House completely exceeded my expectations. This was honestly the best meal I've had since moving to the U.S. The flavors were incredibly well-balanced and authentic. Nothing tasted overly salty or greasy -- just clean, rich, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there is real attention to detail in the kitchen. The meat quality was outstanding -- tender, juicy, and grilled perfectly. The side dishes were fresh and complemented the main dishes beautifully. It felt like a satisfying, well-rounded meal rather than just dining out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is attentive without being overwhelming. If you're looking for authentic flavors and quality ingredients, this place is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely be back. read more

Our party of 4 plus our dog visited on a Saturday night with a reservation. It was all of our first time at Soh and we did not know what to expect. It's definitely not like most kbbq places where the smoke gets everywhere and you come out stinking of it. The smoke is very well controlled and the restaurant itself doesn't even smell! The meat was cooked for us at our table and it was delicious! I would most definitely return. read more

I've eaten here a handful of times and every time the meat has been excellent, but not to be outdone by their amazing service and welcoming atmosphere. This place feels like it's run by people who have a passion for this and it's very apparent from the moment you walk in and are greeted at the door. I know K-town is known for excellent kbbq, but I honestly would rather just come to Soh for the service, location, the awesome folks that run the restaurant, and of course the quality of the food. Also, you don't smell like kbbq coming out of this place. What a great bonus especially if you come dressed up. read more

We went to Soh Grill House to celebrate our ten-year wedding anniversary, and it ended up being the perfect pick. Most KBBQ places we've been to are either smoky, cramped, or a little grungy--but this one was the total opposite. It's sleek, modern, and surprisingly upscale while still feeling casual and welcoming. We didn't have a reservation, but they seated us pretty quickly, which was a nice surprise. The service was top-tier, with waiters constantly checking in to make sure we were happy with everything. One of my favorite parts was that they cook the meat for you (yay not having to worry about doing that myself), and then they give it a final blast of torch to finish--such a cool touch. Everything was sizzling hot and served at just the right pace. I also loved how I didn't walk out smelling like a campfire. The bulgogi was a standout--sweet, savory, and packed with flavor. Every bite was juicy and satisfying without being overly greasy. The array of side dishes was generous and delicious. Portion sizes were just right--not so much you feel overwhelmed, but enough to leave full and happy. read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and we were greeted with smiles and good vibes. The banchan was fresh and tasty and the meat was excellent quality and cooked to perfection for us. The staff checked on us throughout our meal. After the meal, the manager Paul "bribed" us with freshly spun strawberry cotton candy (total surprise) and milk flavored ice cream from Korea. The beef soon tofu was also delicious! Definitely worth many trips back. Good times! read more

Excellent service first and most! Our first sitting at a Korean BBQ and it was an amazing. We started with the staples of Prime Brisket and the Bulgogi with the set up. I could have this for lunch and dinner in the same day. Definitely visiting again. read more

Came here on New Year's Eve, no lines but it was still busy. We ordered the Lucky Split and Bulgogi Tacos. The Lucky Split came with brisket, pork belly, soup, rice, and soft drinks. At first it didn't look like a lot, but it ended up being really filling. The pork belly with the bean paste was my favorite combo.

WE LOVE SOH GRILL HOUSE. Love the clean, sleek layout that is perfect for large parties. The employees are all very attentive and they cook the meat to perfection for you.

Everything tasted high quality and they take great care in cooking each meat to our preference. The only thing was it was so much food for just the two of us!!

We're not from the area and were craving Korean BBQ, so we checked reviews and saw this place had consistently great feedback. That's what made us decide to drive over.When we got there, parking was a bit challenging. Most of the parking is street metered, and because it's a highly walkable area with lots of restaurants and shops nearby, available spaces are limited. It's definitely something to plan for, but once parked, everything is close by.There is a parking garage directly across the street, which is convenient, but it costs $15. We weren't thrilled about the fee, though it is an option if you don't want to deal with street parking. We walked into the restaurant and were nicely greeted. It was around 5:00 p.m., just as dinner service was starting, so the place was still fairly empty. The restaurant itself is very clean and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We were seated right away. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated, but we felt overlooked as the staff focused on another table. Dinner is $98 per person, plus extra charges for additional sides, and automatic gratuity for parties of five or more. After reviewing the menu, we decided it wasn't for us and left. Ended up at a Korean BBQ 4 minutes down tge way nearby for $50 per person, which was a better fit for our group. read more
