| - To be blunt, I can't drink soju for the life of me, but it sure goes down better while eating spicy and filling Korean food. Came here for a friend's birthday, and there's no better way to celebrate with noms and great company.
Out of all their banchan, their green beans could easily be eaten with a bowl of rice alone. Not really a fan of their roasted shrimp, but we kept ordering our favorite potato salad instead.
Order their chicken wings, fried dumplings, and their seafood pancake! No regrets there, promise. Don't be tricked by the casserole; it's really budaejjigae, a spicy soup with some meat, vegetables, and instant noodles all cooked on portable stove at the table. Definitely go for the spicy chicken with mozzarella on top.
Their flavored sojus are a great mix of the famous Korean alcohol and the Calpico drinks from most Asians' childhoods. Most of my friends don't like alcohol that much, so the sweetness from the peach or lychee flavor really helped them down the soju.
Soyo's sign is hard to see at night, so just remember it's located in the same center as Oyshi. Inside, there are several tables for bigger groups and booths that are closed off from each other. The wait staff is quite attentive, quick, and friendly.
If Soyo is anything similar to drinking joints in Korea, I'm glad we have a piece of that here in Vegas. Makes me excited to try the real thing! Until I make the flight across the Pacific, I'll make the return trip here.
