Guy's Night out? Looking for Flavoured Soju around Yonge and Finch area.. that tasted like Kool Aid?? Can I said it feels like a Girl's Night Out?
When I walked into Soho.. I saw these ghetto like atmosphere with dirty dishes everywhere... a patron OD on something... I almost suggested let's go somewhere else till I heard noises of guy drinkings upstairs.. the connection..........
Sofas - that makes you feel like you at home...
Lighting - dim and soft lighting put Wayne C into this relaxing chill out mood...
Treats - Karl R just almost finished the whole plate even before our drinks arrived.. Luckily I took a photo, if not I did not even realize what's in it!
Soju ($10) - Yogurt/Strawberry/Mango which we all enjoyed.. (wish I can try the other 3 flavours before we cut Karl R off!)
Soju Soju Soju! I love Soju!
And Soho is a great Koren watering hole for a Girl/Guy's Night out!!
Bottom ups! -

I didn't know why I came here, maybe it's because I've ran out of places at Yonge & Finch to visit. This intersection used to be my domain when I was involved in a street gang. It was during my teenage years..it was like a whole season of the Young & the Stupid. Let's not go there.
I came here because it was called Soho.
I came in, went upstairs, checked out the crowd (korean [predictably]), and was told to go downstairs because all the tables were occupied. Downstairs? Downstairs downstairs?
The top floor was buzzing with people, and the main floor was your grandmother's house. I came here around 11pm, and was told that the kitchen was closed. Right, I'll have a liquid beverage, and so will my friend....
We went out for a cigarette, and a couple asked us whether the kitchen was open. I guaranteed her that it was closed and that she should find elsewhere to eat with her boyfriend. She went inside anyway just to verify. We finished our smoke and went back inside only to discover that the couple was sitting down with bowls of what looked to be food. I knew immediately that the waitress and I had a miscommunication..so I forcibly put on this exaggerated perplexed expression to display my shock. I apologized to them profusely. Then I confronted the waitress for giving me the false information, where it lead to her apologizing for the tenth time which included not having a table for me upstairs.
We didn't end up getting any food because of the deployable service. We weren't impressed, even if the service came in the form of a short skirt and B-cups.
This might have been a good experience if we were upstairs getting drunk at the intimately placed tables, conversing with loose Women and exchanging incriminating stories about ourselves to strangers who probably doesn't speak English. But that was not the case.
We were downstairs where there were nobody was the two of us, drinking like War veterans with nothing to really talk about, wishing we were upstairs where the fun was.
Five bucks to park here? Blast it all to Hell. -

Soho is a Korean soju bar. It's a slightly more sophisticated counter part to the Pojangmatcha Restaurant reviewed here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
Soho offers a number of surprises for a basic Korean watering hole. It's got a patio. Yeah, given its right next to the Finch station's bus station, you'll be breathing bus fumes all night but then have you ever tried soju? Bus fumes are a welcome distraction 8 shots in.
Behind the cool black and red urban Soho signage is a really, really scary main floor. It gives the place a deserted look, save for someone sleeping something off on a bar chair. We might have turned around but Jennifer K noticed a stairway to our left leading up to something that could only promise better. And so it did.
We found a small bunch of young Koreans doing what small but young Korean do best: drink. Highly attractive and entirely accommodating waitresses led us to some widow-side couches and tables. The large room was better appointed than the Pojangmatcha Restaurant. We (Jennifer K. Wayne C, and me) had actually stopped at the Pojangmatcha Restaurant after a visit to Raa. If Jennifer K likes one thing more than 1970s/80s canto pop karaoke it's flavored soju. The kind found at the Pojangmatcha Restaurant. Pojangmatcha was our destination of choice but, alas despite an obviously empty table, the older male barkeep gave me the Korean x-d arms to indicate we have nothing here for you and we were turfed out into the night.
And then we remembered Soho. A brisk walk got us there.
Bottles of flavored soju run about $10, come in flavors ranging from yogurt to mango to strawberry, and fill about 5 shot glasses nicely. This stuff goes down smooth and easy like wobbly pop and before I knew it I was about 5 shots in and drunk watching CNN after following a wall or was it Wayne? back to my condo.
Really pleasant was the gratis appetizer plate of a rolled Korean omelet, some fried balls of something that might have been cheese, and a sushi roll.
Besides flavored soju, Makoli (Korean rice beer) is available for about $21 a liter before tax. -
