SOJUba

Another great meal at SojuBa! We ended up here instead of walking over to BackBay because it looked like it was raining or would rain and so didn't want to risk it. So decided to stay local.Got the Korean bbq spicy chicken which was delicious as always. Ordered chicken wings and those came out super hot couldn't even touch them till they cooled down a bit and were quite good with the sweet chili sauce. Also ordered the bean paste stew with tofu and vegetables- that was also piping out steaming in a bowl. The dishes came with rice so we had 2 rice bowls which was perfect. The stew was spicy but not too spicy. Service was friendly and attentive. Our server was great checked on us frequently. The hubs also got the Jim beam apple drink which was nice - not too strong.Overall a good meal very satisfying and we had a few leftovers too!Nice ambiance with the lights overhead. They also have lots of TV screens showing Korean music videos. Apparently they have karaoke on Thursdays which we've never been to but am curious about. One day!They have a nice outdoor seating too but today it was wet so wasn't being used. We sat at the table by the windows though which was nice to see the bustling Boylston street.Overall great experience!

SOJUba is a nice place to go for a chill night out with friends! It's got a nice ambience here, that many people have noted, & fun drinks, LOTS of soju. If you're looking for some delicious Korean food in Boston, this is not the place to go. It's very much so just Korean bar food, mid at best & oftentimes, the food is not served to you hot, usually warm-ish cold. Do not have high expectations if you order any food from here. To be honest, just stick to the soju and you'll have a blast. Definitely recommend this place for big parties or even just a small group that's not looking to go out to the club. It's a lot more chill and a comfortable setting to have some drinks. They close pretty late, 2AM most days except Monday and Tuesday, which they close at 1AM.

SOJUba is all about the vibe! It's like 9/10 here!We found that this place is very cozy and perfect for getting drunk.However, the food was mediocre. Also the service was not top of the line - they took long breaks in between attending us.The seating was amazing and we felt like continuing to sit and chit chat.Overall, recommend for the vibe.

Fun place to go for food and bar vibes! We got the Japchae (4/5 it was more of a stir fry, wouldn't call it traditional but still tasty), Budae Jjigae (4/5 it was pretty good, nothing crazy but did cost $44), and the Soju Watermelon (4/5 was tasty, definitely had minimal soju in it, and was super expensive at $53!). Overall a fun place, but not sure it was worth the price.

I have visited SOJUba twice now. I always get a Soju cocktail every time. They have a lot of drink options: soju cocktails, individual bottles, and towers. However, the cocktail hits EVERY TIME! especially because they come with popsicles! In terms of food, I would recommend sharing plates, especially for the tteokbokki, noodles, and Korean fried chicken. The entrees are bar food that compliment the drinks. Would also recommend going with a group after a show or the club. A vibe. They usually play kpop and apparently have karaoke once a week as well. Service is a hit or miss. Last time, they brought the wrong dishes and drinks to our table. However, that shouldn't stop anyone from at least visiting once. They also have a rooftop as well.

Beautiful ambience. Sunday night felt like Saturday night here. We got BBQ pork and beef and garlic udon noodles and wings. Yum! Everything yummy. My family had mango popsicle drinks and I had lychee martini. Yummy drinks just wish I had actually lychees in it.Highly Recommend! Service was great too!

The food was almost inedible. The Jap Chae noodles were so gelatinous and impossible to chew. I hate to say it but it nearly made me gag trying to eat it. The bibimbap was flavorless. Big miss here.

Enjoyed the early dinner at this location. It was more a bar than restaurant but the food was excellent. The portions were plentiful. It was not a traditional Korean restaurant with banchan so this was disappointing but we enjoyed each dish. The server was fairly prompt though drinks were slow in coming. We had the place mostly to ourselves since it was early but I'm sure it is a fun and loud bar with karaoke. If that's your scene it would be fun and good place to frequent. As a visitor I enjoyed myself.

Uber eats order while traveling for business. On my view, getting a 5* based on Uber eats alone is challenging delivery food is usually not as good as in person dining.Crunchy corn was the star of the show. A great crunch with a sweet and salty flavor. I want try to figure out how to replicate at home.The garlic noodles were great too, simple and tastyBulgogi was good as well.

Terrible food and my bartender struggled to hear customers correctly. I came here before a game at Fenway park since it's close. I sat at the bar and ordered a Kirin on tap and their Spicy Pork bugolgi nachos. The bartender had some trouble understanding me and asked me to point it out on the menu, which I did. Received my beer which was not very cold, and filled with a decent gap to the top. I wasn't trying to be difficult, so I drank it and watched tv.A guy sat himself down at the bar two seats away and asked the same bartender for a beer and a shot of whiskey, Crown Royal. Bartender again has some trouble hearing him, but the customer repeats what he said. Last thing I hear the bartender say is "whiskey with cranberry?". Thankfully the customer clarified he wanted Crown Royal, otherwise that would've been a nasty shot. I eventually get my food and it's a rice dish with bugolgi on top. I look at it a bit and then flag down another staff member letting him know I ordered the nachos. Again, trying not to be difficult, I say he can toss this bugolgi on top of the nachos. He gets it and fixes the order. At this point, I know I should avoid my first bartender so I order another beer from the other bartender helping out.Other patron heads out and is replaced by a lady who orders a glass of Cabernet. My ear perks up when I hear the first bartender say "Chardonnay". I don't want to step out of line to correct him, but my curiosity is confirmed when I see him reach into the fridge and pull out a bottle of wine. He pours it and presents it to the lady who's obviously confused. She says she ordered a Cabernet, not Chardonnay. The other bartender takes over and pours out a red wine (there's no Cabernet on their menu). Back to the nachos. It was just a pile of thin chips, onions, tomato, jalapenos, nacho cheese, and some pork. The chips couldn't hold anything and the dish became a mess. The nachos could use a binder like sour cream or guacamole which would help justify the price - $19I want to give the bartender the benefit of the doubt andI understand English may not be the first language spoken. But he needs to know for sure what a customer ordered, otherwise he's going to keep creating wasted food and drink. There should be more training and ensuring the staff knows what's on the menu.The lack of effort and overpriced food on top of the underwhelming service ensure I won't come back. Would not recommend to others
