I've noticed that they only have one people work during the morning shift. One Sunday noon, there were only 4 tables when we came in and one server that host, run the food, buss the table, and answer the phone. Hence the service is extremely slow and terrible, I don't blame him but the management. Food has gone downhill, the tteokboki has less than 10 pieces, the chickens taste like they are very old. I'd rather drive a little bit farther to get better food. read more

0000000000 no stars! Only a 1 cause it requires it! Highly disappointed! Walked in around 2pm today for my birthday lunch/ dinner and literally no one was at the front desk or bar. Now I know we came at a rather odd time but that's not the actual point. Not only was there no one there "in sight" but a few minutes after seating ourselves a lady came out and saw us but never acknowledged us at all! She had a try of food so I know she had just walked out of the kitchen. We are pretty laid back family but when we sat there for about a good 10 minutes and still no one acknowledged us we walked out! That's too bad I was hoping this place was good because of the feed back but boooo you lost a customer and I would not recommend anyone! read more

It's places like this that make me miss living in a big city. I would never find something like this where I live. Some of the most awesome Korean food here. Walking in the staff are super great, and the inside is nice and open. There is karaoke and I imagine it can be VERY loud in here, just having a few tables full of people resulted in the place feeling noisy. The menu is all in Korean with pictures, and small English names under. Though unless you are well versed in Korean dishes the English names may not help. No stone bowls here but they did have a hot pot! It was called the Called Army Hot Pot. Funnily enough I was in the Army the first time I ate Korean food. (Wonder if that place is still around...) So of course that was why I came. I saw they had a bunch of chicken wing options too, and grabbed some spicy wings to go. The hot pot was massive, easily enough for 4-6 people to enjoy with some other food. But alas it was just me. I even asked if the pot was super big and the girl told me it wasn't too big. Ha. Well, maybe there is a different standard in Korea. It was big. It was spicy, filled with kimchi, sausages, huge chunks of tofu, and all kinds of other goodies I couldn't say for sure what. But the flavor was amazing. Spicy and rich, but warming and full of umami. I loved loved loved it. I was only able to eat a small sized bowl or two before I had to tap out. But they gave me generous to-go containers. The spicy chicken wings were good, not actually spicy oddly enough. They had a thick red sauce on them which was good but a bit sweet for me. I think I would have preferred the garlic soy sauce ones instead. But the service was fantastic, the inside was awesome, and the selection and variety was staggering. It'll take me many more trips back here to try all they have and I'm down to give it a shot! read more

The food at Soju is OVERPRICED and only good if you're intoxicated before you arrive or you're lucky enough to get some fresh food... this is my last time coming to this business. I ordered the calamari to start; however it came out cold and super chewy; I have had FAR superior calamari elsewhere. $15 for some terrible fried squid. $75 bill for an upset stomach. I do love the atmosphere but we received pretty poor service as our waiter only came to the table two times and completely forgot our drink order. I get the chicken everytime but I'm not sure why because they bring me parts of the chicken I've never seen with barely any meat on it. Unless you're doing karaoke do not waste your money. read more

My first time to soju 101 Katy was awesome. Was around the area and decided to try them out ! It was a winner . It is a nice simple place . With great customer service . I decided to try the spicy chicken wing and rice cake . Tasty read more

I've been looking for bulgogi that is at least decent, but when I went to Soju 101, I found bulgogi that is exquisite! I love the food, the level of service, and the ambiance of the restaurant. I've been back several times and I will continue to do so. read more

Was excited to try this place and disappointed is how we left. We were seated promptly on a Saturday night around 630pm and the place wasn't too busy. Not once did anyone ask if we wanted drinks and we rang the bell about 3 times and kept seeing the wait staff look at the number at the top to see who's table was ringing. I saw 3 other tables get serviced before we decided to just leave. I could understand if they were busy or short staffed but there were a good handful of guys just standing around. Maybe they didn't want to deal with us since we had 3 smaller kids. Who knows. I agree with all the other negative reviews about bad service here. Don't recommend. read more

Love love love this place! It's soooo far from me (I live near the galleria) yet, is still be down to drive here every once in a while for some good Korean food and drinks! Love the big portions and drinks selection! I recommend the udon pasta, C15, & SN7. Honestly though, I haven't had something I didn't like and I've tried a lot of stuff on the menu. I guess it just depends on what you're craving that day They also have karaoke rooms. I haven't been in it but based on the signs around the restaurant, they update the song list everyday or you can bring your own USB! read more

Everything on the menu is great! Except the mozzarella sticks , I was disappointed in the cheese pull but it's alright . I didn't have a chance to do the karaoke that they offer but it's nice to dine and just enjoy the ambiance of the place. Service is great, food comes out quick. read more

Great place to hang out for good mix drinks and appetizers definitely a good vibe and good service haven't tried the karaoke room yet

One of my favorite karaoke places!! Better than any of the other karaoke places that I have tried in Houston area. Farther away from our place in Cypress but definitely worth the drive. Had an amazing time and many of our friends, who had never karaoked, said that they really enjoyed it. The workers are all so inviting and willing to take the time to explain the system. Overall great time and experience! Thank you soju 101! read more

Really cute place. Food is good. Customer service is good as well. Definitely will be back to try more things on the menu. read more

Tried this place because it's kinda similar to Ohn Korean Eatery, which is temporarily closed. It's a casual place and I will say I like the food better at Ohn. However, Soju101 has a huge menu and it still fulfilled my Korean bar food cravings. Haven't done the karaoke rooms yet but I was told that a party of 5+ is required in order to reserve a karaoke room after 6pm, so smaller parties can do karaoke earlier in the day. It's nice to have this place really close by, so I'll be back again and hopefully next time I'll be drunk enough to sing lol read more

Super fun atmosphere and the food is great! I had the beef bulgogi and a rice box. Will definitely be returning! read more

I like this place sometime the food is really good and some time is not so great but overall it is delicious it just all depends on who is cooking the food read more

We've been here twice. Both times service was good. You're not going to get over the top service. The button at the table is for you to get service. I like that. We got cheese buldak and fried chicken both times. They were delicious. The cheese corn is perfect. We had the seafood on the stick soup, thats probably one dish I would not get again. It would 100% come back and eat everything off their menu. read more

pretty kool place ii would luv to go back and do a karaoke. the food was good , hot & spicy. read more

Finally some cool Korean bar in Katy area! I am thrilled that they finally added new location to Katy area on top of couple other locations in Dallas. So many choices to choose from in both drinks and foods. It will take some time for me to try them all, but very impressed with what I had so far. Very clean, reasonable price, generous portion. They had some special promotion when I was there last time, I believe it is still going on? You do not want to miss it. read more

The bees Korean chicken in town.. such as the seafood soup.. cool environment. Please 3 ready to leave the place smelling like fried food... If they can only take care of this it would be fantastic. Need better extractor to content that smell. read more

Great atmosphere. Fun place. I usually just come for the drinks and some food. It's an enjoyable place to pass time. Their catalogue of music is a bit lacking, but not lacking enough to impede a good time read more

Im a FOODIE & this place was Trash.. would not recommend. 1st chicken was drenched in a bunch on Sauce like a bucket was thrown on. 2nd I ordered a noodle plate that took 30 minutes to come out and it was under basic. Why would a plate of noodles with prechopped vegetables cone out last compared to the rest of the food? Noodles are fast to cook. The fries were OK, Ive tasted better... the ONLY thing good was the dumplings. Then the manager had the nerve to argue with me about the noodle dish i wanted removed from my Tab because it was Nasty, he said did the waiter explain what the plate was I said no, then he had the AUDACITY to ask me why i didnt ask. Yea, no thanks theres way better places around this area read more

Soju 101 - Dumplings, kimchi fries, spicy noodles etc - Korean Near Me - Katy, Texas

If I could give this place a 0 I would . Never been to this place before, I called to make a reservation around 2 pm they said the manager would call to make the reservation for us , hours go by and they never call . I called back to see what was going on and they told me they didn't have the time I asked for available which was 8:30-9 , they said they could put us down from 12am - 2 am we agreed . On our way there 5 minutes before our reservation they called to tell us " terrible news" saying they over booked us and that they can't give us a room . read more

Go here only for the karaoke and the bar food. The main dishes like soup and tteokboki is flavorless had to ask for salt and pepper to season the food. Other than that ambiance is chill. read more

Found a bug in our water. Very disgusted. Not sure if I'll be coming back. Returned it to our waitress and she did not say anything. No one came to apologize. read more

I tried their amazing soju sampler and octopus cakes! Fun spot to have dinner. Also, their karaoke rooms seem like a good choice though I did not use. read more

Honestly an awful experience. I've tried making reservations multiple times with friends who come out of town and they are not organized in the slightest. We've called and everything to make reservations and then they would cancel our reservation out of nowhere with no solution to it. Every time we talk to someone it's like they don't even know what's going on even after we explained it. Definitely do not waste your time here. read more

Made a reservation for 10 pm karaoke bar. But when we arrived, they said all room was filled. Terrible restaurant and very understaffed. Would not recommended read more

Amazing place, I've eaten here before and the food is delicious. I came to sing karaoke with the family and it was a lot of fun. Only reason it is 4 stars because the AC in the room wasn't working and we had a party of 6 for 2 hours which is one rate and then a party of 9 for 1 hour, which is a higher rate.. They charged me the higher rate for all 3 hours instead of the 1 hr the additional people were there. Great for friends but the people in the restaurant can hear you. So not 100% sound proof rooms. read more

Good vibe! Food is great, customer service is amazing, and Will definitely come back again.... read more

Soju 101 - Korean Near Me - Katy, Texas

I reserved a karaoke room for a birthday party and arrived 5 minutes late. When I arrived I was told my room was given away... because I was 5 minutes late. Mind you they had my phone number and didn't call to check if I was still coming. I was told to wait for the next room to become available (who knows when). I'm disappointed. read more

This place recently opened and they have a bunch of awesome specials. It's in the heart of Katy Asiatown so tons of parking, lighting, and food all around. Their drink and food menu is huge and there are 3 karaoke rooms you can rent out. Food is pretty tasty and so are the drinks. Everything is clean and it doesn't smell bad like some of the other karaoke places. read more

Karaoke private room was pain in the a. Employee was not helpful at all. They would talk back but not going to help you use the remote. Guess you have to read Korean to be able to enable the remote control. Spent first hour to FIGURE OUT just remote control. Then came the speakers, then the screen, then the light. read more

Nice service and the food tasted great!! I just think is a bit overpriced for basic food

So i decided to come here for my Taiwanese wife and she liked it quite a bit, i on the other hand was annoyed at the music they were playing, food was good though i'll tell you that. PSA. Do not come here to drink, they will ID you even if you are a veteran who has served the country in 2 different wars ... read more

Go there for the karaoke rooms, not the food. The food took forever to arrive and all of my friends and I felt sick after eating. The service was not good either! read more

Came here with a group of friends. I ordered a Texas Tea, fried dumplings and Bulgogi quesadillas. Everything was pretty good but the karaoke was my favorite. Had a very extensive catalog. My friends ordered the Soju drinks (4 for $14.99) and they were strong! The Bulgogi and Kimchi burrito was also good. read more
