Sooda rainbow cocktail
Debbie W.

This place was recommended by our friend who loves Korean food. It was located on side street nearby, but moved inside of the Brentwood mall'a foos court. after it's built. It has a separate entrance as an actual restaurant. The place is well maintained, nice and clean, with a bar behind the entrance. We ordered some of their signature dishes such as the Sooda platter, Sooda box, and seafood pancake to share with. The Sooda platter is the bomb! It has rice, egg rolls, bulgogi, cheese and corn. The waiter also mixed the cheese and corn for us, which was a nice service. The table also has a build in heating mat which kept the platter warm the entire time. The pressed sushi style Sooda box was also very yummy, the jalapeño pepper on the top has a kick to it, and it's not the mild kind. If you like spiciness, you'll love it. The seafood pancake was nice too, not a lot of seafood inside, so it's light and crunchy. The tofu strew was pretty standard, but nicely seasoned. This is definitely one of the hidden gems in Brentwood mall, and good for group to visit and share. If you like Korean comfort food, you will like this place.

Sooda Box
Tony X.

My colleagues and I went to Sooda in Brentwood Mall. We ordered a number of dishes, including the Sooda Box and shared them. The food was exceptional - the flavours really stood out and it was made with fresh ingredients. We received our dishes quickly and had polite, attentive staff take and provide us with our orders. The restaurant had plenty of seats and its atmosphere works well for all sorts of different situations.

Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wing

Came here with the family as a last dinner in Vancouver. We went to another location during our last visit and this one was equally as delicious. We started with a makgarita and a green light which were both delicious. For dinner we had the Sooda bulgogi as well as Sooda box full and sweet and spicy chicken. Everything was beyond delicious. Our server was very nice and pleasant. Definitely recommend and will be back next time visiting.

I always love it here and the food is so consistent! We got the spicy pork hot plate this time and it was delicious. Service was quick and friendly as always!

we had reservations for happy hour for a party of four at 4:30 pm on a monday. sooda is located in brentwood mall, toward the food court where white spot used to be, but once inside it feels more like a standalone destination than a mall restaurant. the space is modern and open, with high exposed ceilings and hanging pendant lights. neon accents and warm lighting around the central bar give it a trendy, lounge like vibe, while greenery and wood finishes soften the industrial feel. tables are warm toned wood paired with dark green chairs, and the dining room feels lively and social without being chaotic. for food, we ordered the honey butter wings, korean hashbrowns, the sooda special platter, and the signature sooda box. after reviewing our order, the server mentioned it might be too much food, so we scaled back and ordered the half box instead of the full. the sooda special platter arrived first. there were two hot plates that i initially thought were coasters, connected to a temperature controlled heating unit at the end of the table that kept everything hot and continuously melting the cheese. i liked the cheese and corn component, which leaned mildly sweet, with the corn adding pops of sweetness rather than dominating the dish. texturally, it worked well, with good cheese pull and contrast against the rice. the beef bulgogi was well seasoned and flavourful, albeit slightly overcooked. the platter also included green onions and a homemade egg roll. the server offered to mix the platter for us, folding the melted cheese into the corn, which was a nice tableside touch and helped balance each bite. the korean hashbrown was flattened like a pancake and fried, topped with a small amount of lightly seasoned arugula salad. crisp, simple, and decent. the honey butter wings were sticky and flavourful. the signature sooda box was styled like aburi sushi and was awkward to cut with the tongs provided, getting squished in the process. not sure if it was actually torched. we ordered the "thank you so mush," and the highlight was definitely the truffle mayo, which i ended up dipping everything into. banchan included pickled radish, kimchi, and macaroni salad, though it wasn't mentioned whether these were refillable. the small oblong, oval plates looked nice but were too small to comfortably eat from, with minimal surface space to spread the food, making it difficult to keep things tidy while scooping shared dishes and melted cheese onto the plate. we finished all the savoury food and still had room for dessert, so we shared the black sesame ice cream. unfortunately, this was a disappointment. it was sandwiched between two rice crackers, and the ice cream was overly sweet, gritty, and tasted more milky than nutty. the chocolate and caramel sauce on the side didn't help. service was friendly but slow. it took a long time to place our order, get water refills, ask for a pitcher of water, get the dessert and receive the bill. this was especially frustrating given that the restaurant didn't seem very busy. overall, the space and concept are visually appealing and fun, with some solid dishes, but inconsistent execution and slow service held the experience back.

Sooda Fries
Andrea M.

Decided to try something new from our usual Sooda Platter. Came here with a friend who had this place on their bucket list of places to try. Our friend has a very specific taste for Tokbokki and although it was great, it didn't quite hit the right spot for them, it we enjoyed it. Everything else was delicious as always! Service was fast and staff were very friendly! Ambiance is very hip, modern, and welcoming to relax and enjoy good times.

Who's down for a sizzling KBBQ feast? Sooda's (relatively) new Brentwood location--perfect for date night, family night, or a feast with friends! They tend to have a bit of a long wait time so make sure to plan accordingly. The food never disappoints and the quality is good. Service is sometimes slow but maybe it was because they were short staffed that night. Food 5/5 Service 3.5/5 Parking 5/5 (paid parking underneath the mall) Ambiance 5/5

Half sooda box

Remains an amazing spot for kbbq. The sooda platter and meat sushi are just spot on. Would be nice if there was free parking provided!

The service was standard - the ambiance had a some hype to it. As far the food - I ordered the Bulgogi Platter. They serve it on a big platter. The taste was standard , the bulgogi portion was a little less than expected. I also ordered a side of KFC - that was okay too. Will probably come back to try some more dishes.

Sooda is where you'll need a lot of soda to flush all that sodium-rich grub down . For a Korean-run eatery their kimchi and macaroni salad banchan are weak . The "signature" Sooda platter essentially combines cheese corn , egg rolls , bulgogi and rice altogether but is imho more for IG than anything else . Yep call us oldies but not sure we'll be back as they lack Korean staples like dolsot bibimbap and kimbap etc . Service is friendly and prompt though .

Sooda box. Honey garlic and cheese
Emily C.

Came back once again to my favourite Korean restaurant in North Burnaby area. The garlic Sooda box is my go-to so highly recommend that one if you're trying to decide! Their hot platter is also a must try - they'll mix it all up once it starts sizzling. I also ordered the mocktail lime mojito. This space is much bigger than their old location so we were seated right away. You cannot go wrong here!! I will definitely be back

Seoul Monkey
Vic T.

Sooda's really popular and to some degree I can understand why. This new location in Brentwood is well-decorated and has great atmosphere, but its food is somewhat lacking in my opinion. Their signature Sooda Boxes were not bad per se, but they weren't anything to write home about. The flavours were fine but for the price they were charging I was hoping for something better. On a more positive note, we ordered the Seoul Monkey cocktail and it was fantastic. Definitely props to Sooda. Made with rice wine, banana liqueur, and banana puree, the Seoul Monkey is a must try. Service-wise, I found it was okay although that might be attributable to how busy it was that day. Overall, Sooda was worth trying although I doubt I'll be back anytime soon.

Bea F.

My first time at Sooda and was pretty good! We got the Sooda BBQ Hanpan, which is easily shareable between 2-3 people. It came with pork belly, beef belly, mixed veggies, 2 salad, 2 rice, and danjang jiggae. For $46, this is a real steal. Only feedback would be would've enjoyed more even split of beef belly, as there is triple the pork belly. As well, the soup was on the more bland side. But would still come back, as I think it's a fun group meal.

Found this spot during lunch on a weekday when craving Korean bulgogi in Metrotown area. I was…read morepleasantly surprised to discover that Soju is quite spacious inside and that it actually has a cozy ambiance for happy hour drinks. Service was pretty quick when I visited, wasn't too busy with about three other tables of diners. Food-wise: their prices and portions are quite reasonable but I have yet to discover my favorite menu item or their best dishes as taste for bulgogi was just okay. Overall, their weekday lunch special is good value. Though their food on my first visit wasn't especially memorable, their spacious interior + modern ambience + efficient service + good value and free parking brings them up from 3.5 stars to a 4 stars rating since this is a place I would definitely consider visiting again to try other dishes. And I am hopeful about finding items to my liking because they offer a fairly diverse food and drinks menu.

We LOVED that this spot serves good food with even greater deals!!…read more This Korean spot is underneath Sushi Oyama (the restaurant that looks like a house) on Kingsway and there's typically parking in the lot or on the street. It's simply decorated with Soju bottles or posters of Korean pop stars or actors. Love the casual and laid back vibe! There is a bell on the table if you need attention from the servers, and they are usually pretty efficient and fast when it is rung. We saw that there was a $9.99 combo deal and everyone at our table was shocked. We all ordered that. The combo comes with your choice of a noodle dish (Jajangmyeon or Black Bean noodles, Korean udon, or Spicy Cold noodles) and a Beef Bulgogi on the side. I ordered the Jajangmyeon with the Beef Bulgogi and it was great! I enjoyed the nice chew from the noodles and the Black Bean sauce was flavoured well. I was pleased to find chunks of pork in the noodles also. The Beef Bulgogi was a little watery, but tasted sweet and tender. All that food for $9.99. That's unheard of in this economy and in these times! Amazing. We'll definitely return as we saw other great deals on the menu also!

These korean-chinese restaurants always have combo deals, but they always make you get 1…read morejjajangmyeon, 1 jambong, and then a meat dish. I dont really like jambong, so I'm super glad 88 noodle house lets you choose 2 jjajangmyeon! Perfect combo. For the meat dish, you can get tangsuyuk or gganpunggi. We chose the gganpunggi (sweet chili chicken). Jjajangmyeon was ok. Nothing too special about it. Good portions. The gganpunggi was also a good portion! However, I found that it was mostly batter, and since they use a mix of tapioca starch and other as breading, it gets jello-y when not completely cooked. The flavor was really good, but I was disappointed with the batter to chicken ratio. I will continue my search for this type of combo!

This is our go to place for late night, after workout meals. We find their portion sizes perfect…read morefor sharing and we tend to have leftovers to pack up as well. We always get the black bean noodles. Flavour is consistent, tasty, and it comes out quick and hot from the kitchen. We rotate between the sweet chili chicken and the sweet and sour pork. This time we got the sweet chili chicken. Flavour is good and comes piping hot and crispy. However, I did find the breading a bit heavy and there is a lot of fat in the layers. Same goes for the sweet and sour pork. I love their coating and the flavour is great, but sometimes I just get a coated piece of fat which is a bit off-putting. We also like the japchae, but find it has a bit too much onion for us. Ok cold nights we like to get the 88 noodle soup. Hot, peppery, slightly spicy. Goes well with the pickles they give you. Service is always quick and polite. No issues there. And the seating is spacious with lots of booth seating.

Went there on a Saturday night and we had a reservation made 2 days before which was a good call…read morebecause it was pretty full when we got there. 3 of us on the table got their option A (premium beef) which comes with corn cheese, salad, and other sides as well as 2 rice and a choice of soup. We also got prime grade beef short ribs, marinated short ribs, and brisket point. I would say this can easily be shared by 4 people because it's a lot of food! We ate all the meat but had a lot of the soup and rice left. It was $140 for all of that which when split is pretty good! My favourite was their brisket point. Their soup was also veryyy comforting!! My other two friends got their glass noodles and Korean pancakes. The glass noodles were delicious!! Very flavourful. The pancakes I thought were a little too oily. I would definitely come back! The service was fast but I thought it was very strange that they wouldn't provide more than 2 takeout boxes for a table of 5.

Tried out Galbi and went straight for the soups. We ordered the Hangover Soup and the Pork Kimchi…read moreSoup. Both were delicious! The flavors were deep and comforting, just what you'd want from a good Korean soup. The decor is not much but quite intimate and cozy. The only downside is that the quantity of meat felt a bit on the lighter side. The kimchis, though, were really good as it was fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced. There was no welcome tea or rice tea, which I kind of expected, but the service was prompt and friendly. Alcohol and other drinks are a bit pricey, but that seems to be the trend everywhere now with the strike. Overall, a great new addition to New West. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu
