Was a good fun atmosphere. The food was pretty good. I got the bone in ribeye and for this place not being a steakhouse it was pretty damn good. This was a special item request that wasn't on the menu. They don't have this cut of steak all the time so when it's available definitely go for it.

My favorite Korean restaurant & bar in Hawaii! The staff is always so friendly, and the food is amazing. The kimchi fried rice is a must-try. If you’re looking for a cool spot to grab drinks, I definitely recommend Sojubang.

Tried the Fire Chicken with Cheese, and it was incredible! I love spicy foods, and this dish was delicious! It came out boiling hot with delicious pineapple slices that paired amazingly with the spicy chicken. Drinks here are priced affordable, too!

The chicken, soju, and karaoke — perfect combo! The chicken and soju here were to die for — crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. But what really made the night was the karaoke! Great setup, fun vibes, and just an all-around awesome time with friends. Solid service and a chill, lively atmosphere. Definitely coming back for more food, drinks, and great times!

I went for the first time tonight and I will say this is one of my new favorite spots! My group ordered 2 flavors of soju cocktail lilikoi (passion fruit) and yogurt, both flavors were very tasty and are large enough to share. Also ordered some honey garlic wings, kimchi fried rice, and spicy mochi, tasty as well. I will suggest ubering here because you will have such a good time! I enjoyed the music inside with modern kpop and hip pop and even more so the private karaoke room. Me and my friends sang so many songs we ran out of our cash. To add to the good times, this place stays open late. Enjoy if you visit this place!

A great place for a party with friends. Though if you want to go Friday or Saturday might want to call in for a reservation. Karaoke machines had a pretty updated catalog but it is $2 a song. The alcohol choices were really good and I liked the different soju flavors. Ube though is really sweet and got one of the nastiest hangovers. Though its fun and service is really good.

One of my new favorite karaoke bars. Definitely will be coming back! The food was great especially the kimchi fried rice and Korean pancake. Good selection of drinks too. The karaoke system can be a little hard to work since the remotes are not very sensitive, but once you get the hang of it, it's not a problem.
