“ Came here impromptu for our anniversary this place was so good! And the service was so nice he even explained the history behind the Korean army soup we had which felt like a mixture between Korean and American soul food! Much better than a lot of Cajun seafood places too because they give you gloves on top of the little aprons makes cleaning up a lot easier! The place is open late and I think everyone should try it :) ”
“ The food here is so delicious! I always get their fried 양념 chicken wings, mentiko pasta, and their whole fried chicken 통닭! Of course you can't forget the beer! The service is always so great and they're super attentive! The ambiance is also very nice and a great place to eat and hang out with friends and family. I recommend this place to everyone! Thank you for the great experience will be back very soon! ”
“ I had a wonderful time here at Kitchen Sooda. The food is just super exquisite and tasty. The service is super attentive and professional. The ambiance is just very relaxing and cool too! 5 stars. ”
“ Honestly was a bit surprised by the taste of the food! I didn't have high expectations for a pocha style restaurant but the mentaiko pasta, Korean fried chicken wings and truffle fries were all super flavorful. The pasta was Al dente and the chicken wings and fries were crispy. The only thing that we weren't fond of was the rose pasta. The rose pasta tasted like a regular marinara sauce pasta, not creamy enough and tasted too tomatoey. The food tasted hot and fresh. Parking is valet and I believe it was $3. Service was fast and they have happy hour deals on oysters! We were seated outside and there were heat lamps to keep us warm. Would definitely come back again! ”
“ Food was good we tried both pasta and seafood, everything tasted fresh and good, nothing spectacular but solid tasting, the beer on tap didn't taste ot was almost metallic which means it needed to be changed, but thats also because it was the wrong beer from what I ordered. Prices are on the higher side but for seafood thats normal. ”
“ HH oysters?? Yes please! Kitchen Sooda has literally everything from fresh oysters, cajun style seafood boils, pastas, chickens, to Korean bar food What I've tried here so far: - Elote - Clam soup - Jambalaya pasta - Korean style chicken wings - Oysters on the half shell - Mentaiko (pollock roe) pasta - Cheese buldak (spicy chicken) - Cajun style seafood boil - Spicy stir fry baby octopus and pork belly w/ rice Every dish is so full of flavor and the place is perfect for weekend night outs. They have both indoor and outdoor seating which is a plus and they also do a fine job packing these for delivery. ”
“ Kitchen Sooda is a great place to get Korean pork belly or octopus along with a side of fried chicken, both Korean style and typical dry fried. The chicken is moist and the octopus is well cooked and flavorful and comes on top a layer of fried rice that has some burnt ends if you leave it on the fire long enough. Valet parking for $3-4 depending on lunch or dinner. ”
“ This place is pretty good for late night snack and drinks. Variety of food and taste decent. Portions are kinda small but the price is decent. You get what you pay for. I always go for fried wings or Korean style whole chicken. Their tteokbokki is a bit sweet but that's how tteokbokki supposed to be. Their pastas are pretty good as well. Service is prompt and good. A Typical Korean drinking place tbh - Casual ambiance and not too loud music. They do last call about an hour before the closing hour so be aware. ”
