Always looking forward to this place to make me love it but somehow it always misses that mark... Went tonight and ordered the bulgogi nachos that are advertised as "homemade nachos"...there is nothing homemade about them tbh. I would recommended reducing the amount of tomatoes and increasing the amount of pickled jalapeños. But I did appreciate the amount of bulgogi though, it was quite a lot. Then on to the fried chicken with scallions that never reached my table, and instead went to a different table--where they ate one piece and notified the staff (who were busy on their phones) that it was not their order. Then, the chicken that had been sitting at their table for at least 10min by now, staff proceeded to give that exact same order to me. What? That to me was a complete shocker. Thankfully, they did offer to give us new chicken, but I decided to go someplace else.

(Last visited October 25, 2023.) Working at Boston University for a couple of weeks and my co-worked trusted me to find the best food in the area! With a little research we wound up at SOJUba! Here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: It was like a Monday or something so the place wasn't very busy, but I love how open and energetic the restaurant still felt. It felt like a Korean BBQ sports bar, if that makes any sense. Lol. There were lots of TVs hanging behind the bar, lots of windows to people watch through, comfortable booths and like I said, this place just felt so open! I loved that. Service: Slacked. We had to ask to be served as staff members were just walking around. I get that it was slow, but come on. Waitress's attitude was bad. No smile. Lacked energy. Had to ask for water after the first serving. Had to ask to be seen and to order. Sorry Samantha, but this was our experience. Moving on. Food: So I started with the edamame and they were addicting! So perfectly salted and hot! I then moved on to the irresistible Korean fried chicken wings! These were EXCELLENT. The dredge was so thin, but SO CRISPY and even made them fluffy. They were juicy, flavorful and succulent. I really enjoyed these. Value: Not bad in my opinion! It is downtown Boston, but the prices did all seem extremely reasonable and the portions were certainly satisfying. In conclusion, I'd come back for sure. The food was worth the sub-par service.

Always a good time at Sojuba! We went here on Halloween around 9:30pm for dinner. There was a bit of a line but it didn't take too long to get in. Food was great - I ordered the spicy kalbi chicken with rice & the hubs ordered the beef. Both were great! Others ordered the scallion pancake, fish stew, and bibimbap. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes. They had music and a dance floor too - I think this was probably a Halloween special- not sure if they have this every Friday or weekend. Overall a great time with great food and ambience!

14 Pieces Chicken Wings

After a few visit over the last 5 years, I think my opinion of slipping quality solidified. Food: On my most recent visit, we ordered the rice cakes, a medium order of wings, and a soju pitcher. The rice cakes were overly sweet to us and didn't blend when with the spice that tried to pack in. The wings were the best part of the meal but they genuinely used to be much better. These wings were light on sauce and were a bit dry and overcooked. Lastly, the soju pitcher was just sugar water and not worth $30. Service: The staff was still very pleasant but could be more attentive towards the tail end of the meal for a more timely checkout. Atmosphere: I liked the Halloween decorations, but I would have like some more light at 7pm.

If I were to get Korean food, I would go to Allston, but if you're in Fenway then I think this is a good option. I thought the soy garlic Korean fried chicken was very well fried, but the sauce was a little too sweet. The same goes for the Galbi, it was too sweet, but my fiance really liked it. I got the kimchi stew and I got it very spicy and I think that it was the perfect amount of spice. Overall, I think this is a cute place to get Korean food in Fenway

Kimchi Fried Rice

Very delicious kimchi fried rice. The server was kind and the ambiance is really fun! Played some great songs I wanted to get out of my seat and dance.

Tofu Kimchee Jaeyook

We went on a cold day so the place wasn't too busy. It seems like a good party spot. Someone puked on right outside the bathroom though Strawberry yogurt boba - slightly carbonated and sweet. Yummy Gizzard - great drinking snack. A little tough to chew but try the grilled garlic Donkatsu - crispy and a good portion size. The salad is crunchy and slightly sweet Tofu kimchi jaeyook - soft doek, tofu good combo with the pork, not too salty and comes with rice cakes

Omg found this spot open late night. Phoena was Amazing and recommended couple dishes that were fire. Atmosphere was on point. Love this spot. My new place to swing by for good food and amazing service. Thank you Phoena and crew. Aloha from Hawaii.

Corn Cheese
Stephanie T.

Food is solid for a sports bar, I love the corn cheese, and the garlic noodles are a classic. The Cajun fried were pretty fresh the last time we went, and my vegan coworker liked her tofu bibimbap. Love the vibes here and that it's open super late, good eats when leaving work late. Music is good and I heard sometimes it becomes sort of a dance floor with a DJ. Great location at the heart of Boston Fenway, but parking is hard most of the time. Mostly just street parking on the side streets.

Chicken Gizzards
Morlina D.

Yooo this restaurant is slept on. Why do they have a 3.8?!? I have been to many koreatowns, Korean homes, you name it I've had it. Let me tell you.. this place is solid. Not a bad item was had and my group and I ordered a lot. We went on a Monday evening and it was pretty dead but service was fast, friendly and helpful when it came to choosing items off the menu and drinks to be consumed. I'm not sure if it's jumpin on the weekends bc they had a dance floor and dj set up. Now the food.. -French fries (for the kiddos that don't have proper taste buds lol) 5/5 they had that nice crust on the outside iykyk -Chicken gizzards: this was a surprise for some reason I thought they would be battered and fried but to my avail they were not. They were pan fried with charred pieces of whole garlic you have to eat it together it's good drinking food. 4/5 -Steamed egg: Was a steamed egg nothing fancy about it but it was still good. 4/5 -Boodae Jjigae: Holy comfort in a pot. Translates to army stew I think but think of ramen turnt up with rice cakes, spam, tofu, sausages, and veggies in a slightly spicy broth. If you have no spice tolerance it will be too spicy for you. My 5 year old can eat it but she's seasoned. 5/5 -Wings: 1/2 original and 1/2 spicy. These were good crunchy but not soggy. I personally prefer the original with no sauce. They were juicy and crispy. The sauce is your standard Korean spicy sweet sauce which I personally don't like but if you do you'll like this. 4/5 -Galbi: Suck the bone good. It was wetter than I'm used to if that makes sense but the sauce was smackin good so nothing to complain about. My only minor complaint overall about the short ribs is that the pieces we had were more fatty than meat but still good! Sweet & savory 5/5 -Suntory highball: my first highball but it might not be a fair rating but 5/5! Refreshing and sweet. -Soju and beer make somek (sp) like a Korean jaggerbomb but with soju. Refreshing and one too many will have you kissing the floor. -Now best for last........ SPICY SNAIL. The absolutely showstopper of the evening. It was so freaking because it had many vegetables that were light and crunchy. It was spicy and a little sweet tasted like it was coming from the Korean pear. It was served with noodles on the side and just together chefs kiss** My table could not stop talking about it. In WA state we don't have nothing like this and it just makes me sad when I think about it bc it was that good. If you're out in Boston and not in theKorea town area please give this place a try. If you have to try something please try the spicy snail!

Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

I showed my gal as we were in route to Boston, and we agreed that Karma was leading us there. I checked about a reservation, but ended up going over early to try and beat the walk in crowd. That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.

I came with a group of four, which I highly recommend because the menu is designed for sharing. We ordered several dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. The crab beignets were probably my least favorite and something I'd skip next time, but the seared halloumi was delicious, the Lazy Lobster Dumplings were a MUST, and the Mediterranean Chicken was so flavorful and satisfying. And then there's the Prime Rib Chop, absolutely cannot come here without ordering it. It was easily top 5 best steak I've ever had! For dessert we tried the creme brûlée , the cheesecake and the carrot cake- honestly they were all unique and great. Yvonne's is definitely pricey, but I think it's worth it for the food, ambiance, and overall experience.

This place doubles as a dispensary on the main floor and a cool rooftop bar and lounge upstairs. Because of the dispensary aspect of it, you do have to go through security to gain access. You will have someone take you up in an elevator and once you're up top, the good vibes immediately hit. Why do they call it a rooftop bar and lounge you ask? Well, I would assume it's because when we came in November, it was cold outside, so the retractable roof was closed. This made it feel more loungey inside. I'm guessing when the weather is right, that roof is open and then it becomes a rooftop bar. It's pure speculation, but I think my theory is right. Like mentioned above, the vibes here were amazing. The ambience was nice. The low lights and neon lights made it a very sexy, but small space. The music was jamming 90's hip hop and R&B and everyone in there was enjoying it. The space is small, but that gives you the chance to meet some really cool people like we did. The drinks were on the spendy side, but made very well.
