The SOJU - Reading

Food is as good as always, vegetable dish is on the expensive side. Can get stuffy inside the restaurant due to the barbecue element perhaps. Service is great and remember to book a table to avoid long queue.

was a nice experience but there was hair in my food.

Very good food. Enjoyed doing the BBQ. Yum yum yum

Good food service got off to a slow start but once we found the call button on our tanle it all worked. Will be back.

It’s always an amazing experience, the best Asian food in town, absolutely you need to try the bbq, if you are children, they loves to cook!

Great food and plum wine! Menu a bit confusing and not much explanation from staff. Good fun being able to cook at your table though.

Very clean with good food and good service. It was very authentic, we have missed a good place for Korean bbq since leaving Asia last year

Food was lovely however hugely let down by the service. Although the restaurant wasn't full and we booked our table well in advance, we had to share table with another couple. We had to wait almost 25 minutes for our drinks as they were so short staff. The waitress took our drinks order then sat down and finished her dinner (OK, she might be on her break but the other waiter simply didn't care) We constantly had to chase our orders and when the food finally arrived, it was like we were some sort of inconvenience to him (yes the waiter again). The other couple left half way through of our dinner but nothing was cleared up as we had our dinner next to their leftovers and dirty dishes. We noticed other people actually got up and walked out as the service was awful.

Great food, terrible service Well worth the price, if you are happy waiting to be served. In my opinion it is a fair trade up

Really great food for a great price! Very hygienic and friendly staff, and they seated us 15 minutes before our reservation time, so we had plenty of time to eat. Really recommend! :)

We were seated straightaway but then ignored for about 10 minutes. It was our first time there and were not sure what to do and felt the waitress was not very helpful in explaining. The rice and noodles were served too early and so were cold before the meat was served and cooked and no way to keep hot. Meat was lovely but expensive for the amount on the platter. I feel their sides let them down, not enough choice of rice and noodles. I will try again but not that quickly and order separate meat plates and try different sides. Was also sat near the door and every time it was opened got a cold draft.

Great food , great service and great atmosphere. We’ve been here before but this times for my mums birthday. They were very busy but they managed to keep it under control they may have forgotten 1 meal but dealt with quickly and professionally. Would always recommend this place :)

Order was not taken properly so took more time to bring order. Plates were not provided unless asked several times with call button placed on the table .

Love this place - went with my Boyfriend for lunch one day and his 21st birthday dinner too , service is amazing and the food is out of this world will be going again and again .

Very nice food and friendly staff! We enjoyed the dinner.

The food was delicious and service was quick and helpful. The waitress gave us excellent recommendations. Our young boys both enjoyed their meals and appetizers as well.

The food was good but they were completely out of their depth! On New Year’s Eve, the restaurant was about 2/3s full but they only had one server and one guy bringing out the food (in quite a random order). We had the BBQ meat and that was delicious but our appetisers and sides just never arrived and we only got rice because we had to go up and ask for some (which was dished up out of a big bowl immediately so they had obviously not realised we’d ordered it). There’s a call button but the poor guy was so busy it was never answered so we were unable to get any extra drinks/chase up any of our missing food. We were in there for almost 2 hours, which for us didn’t matter but there were other tables who had places to be and we’re getting quite stressed. I think everyone in their had a very similar experience to us. Overall I loved their menu and food and would actually still go back but only on a really quiet time if I could be the only table in there!!

Lovely restaurant, nice staff and very clean. Went for BBQ, the seafood pan-jon was so good and the mandu was delicious!!! Will be visiting again for more awesome food!

we ordered bbq food and do our own bbq on the table. we enjoyed it. the food is fresh, beef, seafood and vegetable. the sevice is very good. we recommend it.

Great place, good service and amazing food. Can be too loud when too busy but still one of the best places to eat in Reading !

Excellent food, I love going on Sundays for lunch! BBQ meat is my staple

Good food but the service was really bad! Food was out but we had no cutleries, no napkins... Asked for water and came after 40 mins and waited another 10 to get the glasses. Really disappointing

Fantastic healthy food cooked in a great social enviroment. Staff helpful and supportive , give yourself at leadt 2hrs as you cant tesr yourself awsy!

Really tasty food, attentive staff. Fairly pricey, but you really get what you pay for. Only lost one point because we sat there for 20minutes and noone explained the call method or the barbecue instructions

Not enough staff on to cope with the customers, very smoky in the dining area due to poor extraction in the kitchen, entrance door continually opened to disperse the smoke making a lot of the diners cold. On the upside the food was good, but drinks were quite pricey.

Great food quality as usual, air ventilation seems to be the problem, which gets quite smoky overtime. Also, the staff have changed and the service quality slipped a lot. I wouldn’t say it’s unacceptable but has been better, so the expectation is there.

Food is amazing, great value for great food. Will be back soon. A great place to bring friends to share tasty Korean food. See you soon

We had to wait 20 minutes to get the table, when we had booked it previously. The bbq plate was a bit small for the price. The staff was good.

Very slow service.. food was good although we cooked most of it ourselves. Mains came out before starters and sides came out just before we finished eating. Food was interesting and nice. Service was shocking.

Restaurant was nice and food was good. Alas the evening was spoiled, by several large tables of millennials letting their pre school kids run riot all around the restaurant. Not the restaurants fault I know, not sure if the restaurant staff managed to have words with the other parents. If they did, alas it had no impact.

Excellent food and drinks. Service was a little slow but was very busy. I’m vegetarian but there’s nice options of veggie food. I recommend that.

There are many mistakes in order. Cooking time is slow. I ordered water, I got a bottle that another person used, I do not bring a new glass. I can not put dishes on the table because I can not even dish you finished eating. Anyway the service is the worst.

the food there was good, the service was d good as well, I had a great time with my friends there. everyone had a happy time there.

Food was nice the service was slow but the food portion was small compared to the price we spent over £90 the four of us but left feeling hungry and they did not give us a dish on what we ordered when we asked twice for it they kept on saying it was coming but never did

Good atmosphere, excellent food and smiley waiters. The food came fast and with beautiful presentation, te barbecue in the middle of the table is the best! Sure we’ll be back soon

We've been here a few times and the food is always really good, Really good food, great friendly service. Thoroughly recommended. The cheese sweetcorn sounds so wrong, but tastes so right.

The food was delicious. I did think that it was somewhat over priced if you chose a Self BBQ dish for one person. The portion was tiny. Either chose the sharers option which is for minimum 2 people or order a none BBQ main. The portion for those are huge. So good value

First time visiting tonight, was good fun cooking and food tasted great. Will definitely be going back soon, to try out more of the menu.

very poor food and service gone down hill it was a great place once don't know whats happened to it will not be going back .

The food was excellent, the different options for food and grill options were easy to establish. I would just say the service was good but could be better. When ordering, it took a little longer than usual, it was the person that was serving us that didn't understand the menu as well. Apart from that, everything about this place is lovely!
