As much as I hate to admit it, I do like this place. I always get trashed here, ughhh. It doesnt take a lot for me to get trashed but it is a korean bar afterall. The place plays a mix of EDM and Top 40s. When you walk in, its usually dimly lit but there are tables and couches available for your party to sit down. I also like how they serve you free popcorn and cucumbers/carrots. Definitely need something to munch on when your friends force you to do soju trains, down multiple shots of yogurt soju, or god forbid, buy you liquid cocaine (killed me..) The first time I was here, a proposal happened - haha so funny and strange for it to happen a bar but perhaps the place has a special meaning to them. Anyways, long story short, come here for a good time w/ your friends :)

Came here on a Saturday night for late drinks and it was fuuun. Dont expect a fancy-shmancy Korean lounge - its more a casual bar with brick-interior and Korea-style separated booths. Great for small and large parties. Free snacks come with your drink of choice, most folks seem to care about the YOGURT SOJU ($20), which is a bit pricey, but totally worth the money. Its a slow killer, youll notice only after 20 shots or so that your tongue isnt rolling the way it used to be. Good stuff. Komawo.

My friends love this place so Ive been here quite a few times. It does get pretty crowded. I think what turns me off the most is the vibe of the place. Its just a bit grimy for me and its located in a very dimly lit strip mall. Decent, casual place to hang out, drink, and lounge with friends though. They play EDM and hip hop. I could see the appeal of this place but its just not my cup of tea. If you really like lounging and soju, it might be yours.

Dont get the food here...just get pitchers of yogurt soju and youre good for the rest of the night. You get unlimited veggies and Chex Mix to snack on too, for free. Great place for groups, and late-night get-togethers. I just wish they were open late and had more tables because the space is pretty small and can get pretty full during weekend nights. The music can also be better.

This place looks like a strip club from the outside, but dont be fooled. Its actually pretty nice inside, and they have amazing yogurt soju. Its just bar food, which is pretty good, but my favorite is the army stew. Fun place to go for a dinner before going out.

Pretty decent place. Nice and quiet and dive-like, but well-kept. Prices are somewhat stupid (not that theyre too expensive, but that the price for Patron is the same as for Walker Black, for example) and selection is limited, but thats not really a problem.

A hidden (literally) gem in Santa Clara. It can be a little tough to find, It took me a few minutes to finally locate it. Great atmosphere, great staff. They have really good photo and to top it all, Amazing Soju, various, various flavors.

This is a neat little hole in the wall with fantastic food, Korean booze and cold bottled beer + nice selection of liquor. Do check it out, everyone there is super friendly!

Suspicious looking from the outside, located in the corner of a strip mall with blacked-out windows. Its actually the best place to get tasty cheap soju.
