Soju101 Katy

Firstly want to shoutout the hostess that tolerated us that night. We had a moderate size party and a few people took a while to come but she still checked in on us after giving us a room. 10/10 customer service. The food was well done. Heavily sauced wings, great rolls and crisp fries. Multiple Soju flavors. The atmosphere fits the aesthetic the place gives. It's built for drinking and karaoke and reminds me of the karaoke places I would see in some of my favorite slice of life animes

The food here is alright but they do give you a lot of it so it is a pretty good value. Good spot to drink a ton of soju and have fun chats with friends. We tried the Kimchi Pajeon, the K-pop Fries, and the Chili Cream Chicken which I all thought were just okay. Maybe I enjoyed the K-pop fries a bit more because I liked the fries and kimchi together.

Soju 101 was such a good time for me. I tried their potato twisters and the cheesy buldak and guys… YUM, both were so good I couldn’t stop eating. We did have to wait a while before anyone came to take our order, but the staff made up for it with how friendly and helpful they were once they got to us. The vibe inside was lively but still comfortable, and it felt like the kind of place where you can actually relax and enjoy your night. I’d honestly come back just for those dishes alone.

I had such a genuinely positive experience at Soju 101 and felt like it deserved a thoughtful review. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable, and the service truly stood out. There was a young Asian employee who helped me at the counter, and he was incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire interaction. I was actually a dollar short when paying, which was a little embarrassing, but he handled it so graciously and reassured me in such a calm and understanding way. Instead of making it awkward, he was respectful and genuinely helpful, which made the experience even more meaningful. It’s small acts of kindness like that which really show how much a place values its customers. The overall service was attentive, polite, and efficient, and it left a lasting impression. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking not only for great food but also for truly great customer service.

My companion and I were visiting Houston from out of town and found this karaoke place online while looking for something fun to do. We submitted a reservation request for two people at 9 PM through the website the day before. The reservation page clearly says that a staff member will contact you by phone or text to confirm the reservation. However, no one ever contacted us. When we arrived, a staff member asked if someone had called us earlier and we told him no. He then explained that weekend karaoke reservations require six or more people, but the website actually states five or more people, which was already confusing. One employee kindly tried to help and told us we could wait for the 10 PM slot, so we waited about an hour. When that time came, the manager told us that reservations under the required group size could not be accommodated after all. Shortly after that, employees mentioned that a party of eleven had canceled, meaning a room had opened up, but we were still asked to wait again. At that point we had already waited twice, so we decided to leave. Before leaving, one of the waitresses recommended another karaoke place called Hongdae, which we appreciated, but it was honestly surprising that an employee from this business suggested we go somewhere else because they couldn’t accommodate us. The biggest issue here seems to be the reservation system and communication. The form still allows smaller groups to submit requests even though the policy requires larger parties, and we were never contacted as the website says we would be. Situations like this waste customers’ time and create unnecessary confusion. We were genuinely excited to try this place while visiting Houston, so it was disappointing that the experience turned out this way. Hopefully management reviews the reservation process so future customers don’t run into the same situation.
