I always enjoy going here with friends for a close to home fun night out (without having to drive all the way to Ktown XD) We always get soju and beer + beef tartar, kimchi pasta, clam soup and some other appetizers. Can never go wrong with those dishes! I've been there at least 4-5 times and always order at minimum those dishes. The ambiance is nice and dim too, perfect for just drinking, eating good food and having a good time. The servers are always pretty friendly as well, checking in often if we need more water or drinks. Will definitely be back! read more

Shannon was amazing at Soju Tavern! From the moment we walked in, she brought such a fun and welcoming energy that really set the tone for the night. She knew the menu inside and out and gave great recommendations, especially when it came to pairing dishes with drinks. Everything came out smoothly, and she checked in on us just the right amount without ever hovering. What really stood out was her attitude--super friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. You can tell she cares about giving people a great experience. If you're heading to Soju Tavern, definitely ask for Shannon--she'll make your night even better. read more

I come to Soju Tavern almost every month now and I always bring my friends because it's such a cozy hangout spot! The food is absolutely to die for, I always get the Korean fried chicken because it's sooo good, and the bulgogi fries and kimchi fried rice are amazing as well. When it comes to drinks, my favorites are hands down the lychee and passionfruit Sojuritas! honestly, all the Sojurita flavors are bomb. The service is great and quick too, which makes every visit even better. Hands down the best hangout spot, can't recommend it enough! read more

Crispy whole fried chicken. I basically ate the whole thing. I know its plain but hou get the salt and pepper to dip it with and the chicken is super juicy, not dried. The grill squid was good with the sauce it came with but we ordered the wrong one. We wanted the crispy one. We usually like the kimchi pasta but i think they mightve changed their pasta to something else so its different. Unless we were confusing it with another place. Service was really good. Friend split beer and we instantly got napkins to wipe everything. Came early so it wasnt busy but the place got packed by the time we left around 8ish. read more

Then the calm soup arrived, unbelievably huge and juicy Crispy wings alert!! Totally get why it's their signature, so perfectly crispy The creamy seafood pasta is a must for seafood lovers. My kid loved it too! Totally understand why everyone's celebrating here, they nail both the vibes and the quality.We just can't stop planning more celebrations here, or even just chill Friday nights And of course, kimchi pork belly. So full, but what an amazing meal! IG: socalhkfoodies read more

I don't think bad times exist when you enter through the doors of Soju Tavern. Fantastic drinks, a great happy hour, and generous portions of Korean fusion foods. The bulgogi fries and kimchi pasta are stand outs. The service is also too notch every time despite how many drinks have been drunk. The vibe and atmosphere is truly unmatched! Can't recommend enough if you're going for a good time and nice bite to eat read more

Waited 2 hours for a table and was told we would be sat after waiting 1 hour and a half. 7 parties were sat ahead of my party and the staff did not attempt to seat us or resolve the issue. The staff did not seem to care that we hadn't been sat after waiting 2 hours. The host abandoned his position to seat parties. The restaurant was over served and the host mentioned the alternative option we had was to order to-go and start ordering/drinking alcoholic beverages in front of the restaurant. Worst customer service. read more

10/10 every time I come the food is amazing and the service is impeccable. If you're into good vibes, great food and an overall great experience, I'd recommend Soju Tavern. read more

So glad we stopped by and checked it out, we were able to grab a late night bite on Thursday night and all the items we ordered were amazing! The service was great, the gentleman and lady were very accommodating and will definitely be back, thank you! read more

Solid place for a late night place to hang out with soju and Korean food! Does get busy, we waited about an hour on Friday night for a table. Dark ambiance with neon signs and Halloween decorations. We started with the sojurita and it was great. Sweet in the beginning but solid taste as you continue going. The bulgogi fries were huge! Came with massive amount of fries. Bulgogi can be better. Had cheese melted on top with an addicting sauce. Fries were crispy! The spicy rice cake was ok on the soft side. Would prefer chewier rice cake but decent flavor not too spicy. Had a hard boiled egg, fish cakes, and some cabbage inside. Good hang out spot in Rowland heights for a drink and Pocha food! read more

A fun place to hang out with friends! I love the sojurita. I'm a big fan of the truffle Parmesan fries as well. The workers are all really nice and helpful! It can get pretty packed during the weekends read more

LOVE coming here. Parking is so easy compared to other korean pubs in the sgv and the food just always HITS! This is a perfect spot to come with friends during the weekend or shoot, just come on a week day night to avoid crowds. They have HH before 6pm where pint beers are around $5 and large booth seating so a group of 4 can easily fit. They can host bigger parties as well- which I appreciate. Don't forget the awesome kpop playlist they play here. Workers here are super attentive and are a vibe especially on the wkends! I always get their seafood pancake (must get!) and the sea snail stirfry noodles (addicting especially during the summer w/some beer). Wings weren't bad but I'd rather get the 2 above. Everything you order here comes in HUGE portions. Would keep coming back! read more

I met my cousin at this tiny little spot hidden in Rowland heights by the Stator Bro's on Colima. I never knew it existed! Walked in on an early Friday night and the place was dim with music bumpin. Like okaaaay - what's going on here. The vibe was chill, had lights - low key felt like I was clubbin while eating LOL. Ordered all the seafood since it was lent on a Friday. No meat status! Surprisingly everything was sooo tasty! Soju selection on point - service was friendly and fast! I'm pretty sure that place gets crowded later into the night. But definitely come try it out. Great place for a first date or dinner with friends. It could get loud so not recommended for those with hearing aids. But check it out!! read more

Came late at night after a long work day and was craving kimchi pasta. The restaurant gave off a cool, modern vibe and even around 11pm, the restaurant was quite packed! We got seated relatively quickly and after ordering, we got our food within 15 minutes! The fries were nice and crispy, the popcorn chicken was super crunchy and juicy and best of all, the kimchi pasta, I cannot describe how good it was other than it being a gift from God himself. Nice, creamy and full of flavor, I was half tempted to order another one for the ride home. I'll definitely be coming back again for the supreme kimchi pasta and hopefully bring some more friends along for the ride to grab some drinks too as they definitely had affordable prices for their pitchers and soju! read more

This place brings the vibes and the drinks. I was craving pork belly and kimchi and they served a beautiful looking platter that I had to take a picture of.

Soju Tavern - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

This restaurant was kind of hidden/lowkey and can be a bit hard to spot, it's tucked away in the corner of the plaza it's in. Came here late at night for dinner and drinks with a party of 7. Army stew was large but I thought the soup flavor was a bit bland. We asked for less spicy but I think the overall soup flavor wasn't quite there. Bulgogi fries were my favorite item we ordered with lots of sauce, cheese, and well-flavored bulgogi pieces but it was a bit too salty for my taste. Corn cheese was good but also a little on the salty side. Server was friendly but didn't come to check on us or refill waters or give napkins; we had to go up and ask each time. read more

I did not expect to find a place like this in Rowland Heights! It is small, but it has a good vibe for drinking. At first we were seated right next to the entrance which is much brighter than the tables inside. We requested to move to those tables once it's available. We already had dinner so we did not order food this time. I ordered passionfruit sojurita and it's quiet an addicting flavor. I wish they also offer hookah, but that's just me. Parking was easy to find and would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Soju Tavern - the kimchi pasta - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Awesome place to visit when you want to chill with a group of people! We came here to watch the Timberwolves play the Mavs. They have happy hour from 5:00-8:00 PM for their drinks: $6 for pints, beer, and $10 for their soju. The California squeeze pint is delicious. I also got their kimchi fried rice and that hit the spot! It gets pretty spicy and is a little oily but it was just so tasty. Their kimchi pasta was pretty good too! Less spicy since there's some cheese in it. Service is great too! They were really attentive and always came to check in on us. read more

Swung in for a meetup with some friends and was pleasantly surprised with the mix of people inside! There were families with kids, as well as more casual rowdy parties ( us ).

Overall, I highly recommend anyone to come in if they're interested in catching up with friends, or want fast casual food with the family. read more

Loved the food and the ambiance, also the service was great. My only complaint was that the majority of the soju flavors were Jinru which I'm not a fan of, it just has a chemical taste. Hallasan soju was excellent, super smooth, if they had more flavors from that brand I would of given a 5 star. read more

Since Cafe Gunul closed down, Soju Tavern seems to be the place to go to for a Korean Pub. I came in with two friends and it was busy on a random Wednesday night. Sadly, there were two beers that were tapped out already. However, the beers we got were fine and price is standard. Service was good as the waitress came by frequently to make sure we were hydrated after all the beer consumption. Overall, not a bad place to go to for a chill night out. read more

First time trying the sojurita and unless you're a heavyweight definitely bring another person with you because this thing is pretty strong. I got the passion fruit flavor and that mixed well with the soju. I do wish that the passion fruit was a little bit more sour. I also tried the chungha, which was a sparkling rice wine that was 7% alcohol. It tasted just okay, wouldn't get it again. Overall, decent place for drinks and food. Probably will be back to try their food. read more
