About

Sota BBQ Coréen centers its culinary focus on the interactive tradition of table-side grilling, where patrons sear high-quality cuts of marinated beef, pork, and seafood over live flames. The menu highlights classic staples including thinly sliced bulgogi, spicy pork belly, and tender galbi, accompanied by a diverse array of house-made banchan side dishes. Each meal incorporates the essential elements of fermentation and spice, utilizing traditional preparations like kimchi and soybean paste to anchor the flavor profiles. The seating arrangement facilitates groups, featuring built-in ventilation systems designed to manage the smoke generated during the cooking process. Patrons engage directly with the heat source, managing the texture and char of their selections to their specific preference. This hands-on approach defines the technical execution and the structural rhythm of the entire dining sequence within the space.

Deep dive review. The tables have wood benches to make it uncomfortable to sit so you are more likely to leave. They cut the gas at one point for over 15 minutes, what a joke. They take forever to bring you food so that you feel full over the course of time. They had no AC just fans. They don't even bring the exact portions you order for no reason, I ordered 10 slices of beef & i got 5. Really really disappointed.

I don't think is worth the price. The food is ok, so if you go you might actually enjoy what you eat, but only that. The service is almost non existent, the only time anyone turned to look at us or spoke to us was when we arrived & when they asked for the bill, other than that they barely look at you when taking the order not even imagine to ask if everything is ok. The waiters are always looking everywhere but customers they just take the paper with your order & leave.

Also the environment would be better if the people who go to each table to clean the dirty dishes were not throwing them all the time into the cart, making constantly loud noise next to each table, so you are not very comfortable when eating.

Also with taxes was $45 each + tip, I know is usually the average price for an all-you-can-eat but this place is just not worth it, it was not a pleasant experience & I don't think I'm going to be back & I would not recommend this place tbh, I think you can get something a lot better anywhere else. Very disappointing

All you can eat. The food was OK, but the service was lacking. The bottle of wine arrived half way through the meal, some food items were never delivered. We were sitting next to the kitchen & it was not very pleasant.

En ce qui concerne le Soto, j'ai vraiment été contente & déçu en même temps. Déjà j'étais ravie de savoir que les boissons soft étaient à volonté. Ensuite la nourriture était correcte. C'était pas exceptionnel mais pas mauvais non plus ( peut-être que cela dépend des choix que nous avoir fait mais bon..). Par contre, le kimchi & les glaces haricot rouge & thé vert sont une tuerie. En ce qui concerne le service je peux vous dire que l'on pouvoir sentir qu'on nous chassait des lieux avec des remarque par si par là. Par exemple pendant qu'on est toujours en train de manger le serveur nous demande si on veut nos desserts. Vous me dirais peut être que c'est parce que c'est presque l'heure de fermeture mais non, il était 18h ! On nous pressait tellement qu'on a du payer notre repas avant de pouvoir avoir nos dessert pensant qu'on allait nous laisser tranquille mais non. Pour que l'on soit plus rapide le serveur s'est arrêté près de nous pour nous "aider " à prendre notre commande de crème glacé. & enfin on ne peux, ne pas terminer en mentionnant les regards des serveurs.
Pour terminer c'était pas une expérience formidable mais c'est à améliorer. Là je m'adresse à Sota, vous n'êtes pas un restaurant fast-food alors laissez nous vraiment vivre l'expérience dans vos lieux. Si vous voulez que les clients en finissent rapidement, je sais pas moi, peut être remettez -10% sur la note aux clients qui finissent leur repas en 1h30 peut être que ça va aider.

Super bon & super endroit pour manger en groupe. Les deux toilettes, celle des hommes & celle des femmes étaient super sales par contre. Plein d'eau au sol & poubelles qui débordent.
