Soyo Korean Barstaurant is great place to hang out and enjoy some Korean tapas and heartier fare. Like other Korean restaurants, they also serve small complimentary side dishes like kimchi, pickled radish and fish cake with your meal. They used to serve their cold tea in these tin bowls that kinda look like small dog bowls. They recently switched to tea cups but I have to admit, I miss the novelty of drinking out of the tin bowl. It actually made the beverage seem more refreshing. Try to get seated in one of their booths. It's cozy and I like the feeling of being tucked away in my own little alcove.
Soyo has a large menu and I've enjoyed everything I tried, so far. I gravitate towards items such as the gal bi jim (beef stew in hotpot, grilled mackerel and the dukbokki (spicy rice cake). I've only come here to eat but Soyo seems popular with the late-night drinking crowd. Soju, beer and some spicy good food? Sign me up!
