Stopped by for a short time for Cathy's UYE. It's an adorable place. They have a large bar in the middle and a bunch of tables that light up around the place. Cute!
I've never had soju before and Tien and Anthony had a TON of bottles for me to sample. The fruit flavored ones were delicioius. It has an almost bubblyness to it and I enjoyed that A LOT!
April had the shrimp with mayo....2 things. I would never think to deep fry shrimp and then toss with mayo and OF COURSE April got a dish with mayo in it, Anyway, I thought it was DELICIOUS. And I didn't even taste it fresh. It wasn't cold necessarily, but it wasn't warm either and it was so good. I will definitely come back to this place. And most likely try Aprils' dish.
They have huge TV's playing K-POP, HELLO! That is so awesome. I really like KPOP even though I dont know a word or a song. It's just so catchy.
And how absolutely fantastic is it that an elite event is coming here for this place. WOOOOOO HOOOOOO. Me's in my glory!
Check this place it. Very cool!
You had me at Shrimp with Mayo!
When I heard a group of friends were meeting here for some Soju, I couldn't say no after seeing the menu.
Happy Hour from 6-8pm is a good deal to try some of their soju. All drinks are half priced. The Strawberry Soju was like kool-aid, but I fell in love with the Yogurt Soju...tasted like a creamsicle! Plain bottles of soju can be consumed as well, it's smooth and has more kick than it's flavored counterpart. There is beer as well if you're not the adventurous type.
So onto the food. I got my Shrimp with Mayo (15$) batter dipped decent sized shrimp were crisp and tasty with a sweet sauce covering them. I would've loved a spicy dipping sauce on the side to cut some of the sweetness. Their portion was big, so I encourage sharing. So we also got the Cheese Pork Cutlet...OMG! Yum! I'd go back just for the food.
Love the atmosphere with the light up color changing tables. Lots of room, not crowded. Staff was pretty good about keeping up with us. The  K-Pop videos playing in the background is an interesting "something different" to watch and listen to while enjoying your food and drink. A downside was that there were some smokers in the bar and we got wiffs of it at times, but it wasn't "smoky" like a lot of places and it also gets really loud.
Thank you again for Yelp, otherwise we would've never even known this place existed.
Going away party for Cathy!
My first time to 21...it's a small Korean restaurant and bar, hiding in a small shopping mall on Sahara and Jones. Â It's behind the chicken place and the car dealer in the same parking lot.
The drinks here are decent priced during happy hour from 6pm-8pm. I think most of the soju was $5-7, beers and liquor also half price. Â If you are drinking after HH, it will add up pretty quick, but it's still somewhat reasonable. Â A few pics of the soju :

The food was not very amazing IMO...and it definitely felt very expensive for what it was. The Bulgogi was not very mentionable!

If a Korean joint doesn't make great bulgogi, I don't have high expectations for the rest of it. Didn't have much flavor, and the meat had no crisp or char on the edges at all...they must slow cook it here or something.
Kart ordered a Spicy Chicken concoction :

It was actually spicy! Â The dish was just ok though...I ran into a few chewy bits of chicken and tendon.
AND the "sausage skewers :

More like hot dog skewers lol. They had a decent taste, but I was craving a snappy sausage....got hotdogs! Â Probably the biggest disappointment of the night.
What was good though, was the Pork Cutlet with Cheese!
<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/21-restaurant-and-lounge-las-vegas?select=vbrkx180Gqd6-o0gOQXSKA#vbrkx180Gqd6-o0gOQXSKA">http://www.yelp.com/biz_…</a>
This was great! Almost like a chicken katsu, with lots of yummy cheese inside! This was the highlight of the night, food wise!
I really like the vibe here...it is clean, warm and inviting inside. The glass tables with neon lights are pretty cool and add to a nice environment.
This would be a cool place to hang out, especially during HH...I am sure we will be back!
The venue for this place is both spacious and modern, as well as clean. Good things for a place that only opened a few months ago. The drinks are very tasty, though when you buy flavored soju, you should be aware it is going to be low in alcohol content. Beer is fairly priced, as is most of the food. Very typical for a Korean bar.
For me, the food was good, but not quite top notch. I had some Omu Rice, kimchi pancake, a taste of the pork cutlet, as well as some spicy chicken thrown onto my plate... All of it was authentic, but the execution could be sharper for a couple of things. I'd say Soyo has better food, but the environment here is more of a bar than there.
One cool thing is they're open until 5am every day - when we got there around 745 (end of happy hour), it was pretty empty, so this is definitely a late night place. It was a lot more crowded around 10-11 when we bounced to the next destination. And they serve food the whole time as well.
I got to talk to the owners a bit, and they seem to be very nice and enjoy running their business.
This place has so much potential~!!! Great atmosphere, food, dranks, cute staff...  The only thing holding this place back is the location... some would say it's in the ghetto haha but it's located on Sahara & Jones hidden by the Nevada Chicken Café.
Sent a text out to my friends on Saturday night to meet here at 7:30 so we could catch the end of Happy Hour.. We all arrived separately.. some later than others. We ordered like 6 bottles of soju and 6 bottles of beer to get the party started.. I appreciate that they honored the HH prices even though we ordered at 7:58 haha
The space is big with lots of LED tables and flat screens playing Korean music videos. They also have a large central bar. My friends ordered lots of food.. I unfortunately was full so I didn't try anything but it looked good and my boyfriend said it tastes better than Soyo~
The servers were super nice and attentive. They took shots with us and took pictures of/with us haha My iphone was about to die and so the server took it to the bar and charged it for me. The server told me they will be getting karaoke sometime in the near future but they should also invest in some hookah too to draw in more people.
Over-all great vibe.. very trendy reminds me of the lounges in Korea town in LA. I even like the restrooms.. Big full length mirror.. Great for taking drunk "myspace mirror pics" with your girlfriends LOL I really hope this place pulls in more business, they should probably focus on some major marketing and promotions because it was empty when we went!
HOT TIP: Happy hour is daily 6-8, 50% off beer, soju & cocktails! Also if you let them know in advance that it's your birthday they will set up something special for you complete with decorations, cake & cocktails~
As per another review, when we came here it was EMPTY. Our group of friends were the ONLY people in the place... But guess what?! It was TONS of fun!!!
We came for happy hour and stocked up on Soju and Beer - No happy hour food specials. Yet anyway.
They set up was very nice looking, huge screens playing Korean pop videos, light up tables with comfy booths and benches to sit around. Our waitstaff was VERY nice (and cute) and attentive and we all had a super fantastic time eating and drinking. We ordered a bunch of different menu items including these yummy chicken wings with just a little kick to them. Yum! Corn Cheese, Bulgogi, Kimchi jigae, chicken katsu... Everything was pretty good. And after we had ordered all the beer and soju tbey gave us somw complimentary eggs! Yup. Eggs!!! They brought out a hot plate and cracked those bad boys and let them sizzle! We thought it was very strange, but cool and we ate them up!
Im giving five stars cuz we had so much fun there! I guess it is set up like bars in K Town (LA) and I would definitely go back!!
Hookah would also be a great addition to the lounge!
I must start compiling my K-pop mix tape...
I love how it's chill and smoke free! I was sooooo relaxed!
Hubby, a friend and I came here after dinner one night around 7pm and it was super chill.
The guys ordered a Mango Soju and a Pomegranate Soju. See my pic.
Honestly I tasted both and did not like either LOL! Waaaaay too sweet for me and I did not taste any alcohol at all. I like my drinks strong and there is no way I would never order that for myself.
I had a few beers and they were nice and cold. I really like the water bottles :) See my pic.
I really want to go back and try the food. I saw several dishes come out while we were sitting there and they smelled divine.
The owner? I can't remember his name. He is super super nice. Came over several times to talk to us and get feedback. I told him that his patio area will be a super smash hit when/if they set it up. He said they will eventually. He asked us how we found the place and I told him I was a Yelper and that I saw Misti's review and check-ins :)
We will defiantly go back.
I really love the chill vibe and actually the music videos keeps me in a trance. I love it.
I'm convinced our friend might call his cable company and order a K-pop station if that even exists. :)
One of the best Asian night place I've in Las Vegas. Atmosphere is very cool and staffs were very friendly. Lot of special events on weekends for customers. This place also has tons of Korean menus to try. I love their special drinks. This place will be my regular spot for me for awhile~
Review Source:Wow! I just had to say that I love the environment! It's almost like a small night club except that there was only one problem when I arrived; the place was completely empty! I was pretty much the only person inside the whole entire bar and it was night time! I also had no idea that this was a korean owned lounge before I came in but who cares, it was excellently designed! There was so much room to move around, the tables have cool flashy lights, they have giant screen tvs show casing korean music videos, korean pop rock, a sports bar right in the middle with all the variety of drinks you can imagine, plus they also they have party nights on the weekend! They also informed me that they will add a karaoke machine and a pool table inside in the future to make the place even more exciting.
Any how, the staff members told me that they've opened 2 months ago, they still consider it a "grand opening" and it's been going quite slow. I couldn't understand why, they have absolutely invested so much profit into making this place so excellent I don't understand how anyone wouldn't want to come back. The location also isn't too hidden in my opinion as well.
During my stay, I didn't try any korean liquor but they definitely have some if anyone is looking to take a chance. I've remained relatively sober so I stuck with the food they served instead. I remembered that I chose some sort of korean barbeque beef along with rice and it was sweet and excellently done. They also provided me with free kimchi to go along with it. Keep in mind though, you probably need above 10 dollars to try one of their authentic dishes unless you are only going for the appetizers. Special high end alcohol is also quite expensive, but if you are looking to stick with beer, wine, or a shot of whisky, you are in good company. Â
I see a bright future for this place, it should get better with more available customers, and it will probably be one of my local hubs when I need to chill after work/school at night. So I'm definitely going back.
I'm always looking for new spots to hit up... stumbled across this establishment on the "hot new business" on the Yelp. Â
Walked in with a few friends around 8ish... only to find that WE were the only patrons... AND that we just missed HH! Â Despite this, we were still intrigued by the lounge... spacious & roomy, brightly lit multi-color tables, decent music, rows of huge flat screens circumferenced the walls & bar area... plenty of seating. Â We opted for the lit tables. Â I find it fascinating when my table lights up... guess it makes the experience more appealing & fun!
Since we just came from dinner, we only came here with the intention to drink. Â They've got a full bar, but we went for the Korean stuff... ordered the Mango soju, Yogurt soju, & Hite beer. Â Both sojus were quite enjoyable, but I preferred the yogurt one as it tasted less sweet. Â
Granted that they just opened up last month, I'll forgive them for being so empty. Â The service was good, drinks were tasty, dint get around to trying the food, but the pix look good.
DRINKS: Â Soju cocktails and full bar.
CONVENIENCE: **** [Easy to find, located behind the gas station on the corner of Sahara & Jones.]
AMBIANCE: **** [Spacious, roomy, multi-color tables, decent music, lots of flat screens... but E M P T Y inside.]
SERVICE: *** [Good service, but nothing spectacular.]
PRICE: Â $$ Â [$12 for a large container of flavored Soju cocktail, $3 for beer.]
OVERALL: ***/* [3.5-stars rounded up... I'd like to think that I would like a place like this... I just don't like coming here when it's this empty.]
Nuff said.
[#23 of 100 YELP CHALLENGE 2013]
Went to this Korean restaurant/lounge over the weekend for the very first time.
Right when you walk into the place you get this WOW factor. The tables around the upper section the restaurant/lounge have led lighting. It gives the place a very upscale feel.
There was a happy hour special, 50% off beer and soju, but it ended at 8:00pm and I arrived to late.
Will definitely be going back for a drink here.
a great place!! sevice was professional and friendly. loved curry chicken, bulgogi (korean style marinated beef) and sweet & sour pork.
I went to this place early evening, but i think it will be a good place for late night also. They have special tables with colored lights, Â large screens on the wall and a bar in the middle. fancy local bar with great foods!! I will definitely come back to this place and look forward to trying other menu items.
This is an awesome place to go. First of all the table setting is very unique that I've never seen before. It changes collors. On top of that, there are 8 screens playing on the wall and it makes this place very fancy atmosphere. The food is very delicious, espesially the Korean foods they have. great service! great experience!!
