I have tried this place in Rotterdam so here's the comparison :
The bar in Antwerp is way bigger, fancy bar area to chill and dine at.
I've also noticed that the Honey Butter boneless chicken was different back in Rotterdam. It was much more flavourful and drenched with sauce. However in Antwerp, I felt that there were lack of flavour and it wasnt saucy enough to enjoy it (most of the chicken didn't absorb the sauce completely)
Other flavors were good, especially spicy sweet and garlic soy. If you would like to have a very spicy evening, take their Soju Go To Hell drumlets!
What I can say about Soju's fried chicken compared to other Korean fried chicken outlets in Antwerp is that their chicken has a perfect balance of crispy coating and tender meat. Since they are using a special technique maintaining their crispiness, every bite you take just yearns for more. Hence they were a pretty hot spot in The Netherlands.
Ordered cocktail : Soju Raketje, served with a big glass but was served 1/3 of the portion, so I would say it's a lil disappointing. So I would skip that.
Friendly service either way and loving the decorations. Been looking for a hip bar like these...

Read moreMy friends have been urging me to go for a while and I wanted to rate this place higher but it honestly doesn’t live up to the hype.
Had the 2 types of chicken. The mandu, the fries and side of coleslaw which comes with the chicken.
I saw some staff being mean to the waitresses and I felt so bad about that the whole time.
Resto feels a bit gimmicky and the prices were honestly surprisingly higher than anticipated. Also why do most Korean places in Antwerp have the same neon look. Same boss/owner?
It was super loud inside because of the people and the music was even louder so I had trouble hearing the person sitting opposite from me.
It was stifling having dinner here as the air was thick with the lack of fresh air and the smell of frying grease.
In short the environment was very overstimulating which in turn made me nauseous and unable...
