The ambiance was great, and the was excellent. Great service. We tried the korean fried chicken breast, and it was to die for. The chicken was tender and moist yet super crispy on the outside but not greasy. I would highly recommend this place More...

Amazing! Best chicken

Reviewed on Google Maps

I am half Korean, in my early fifties and have been ordering Soon Dubu since I was in my teens.  So when I say this is exceptional, it's based on quite a bit of experience.  I know it's the Korean fried chicken here but like I said I'm the older generation.  Homemade kimchi is not afraid to have a kick.  Reminds me of my childhood when kimchi was spicy.   Oh yeah, Silena insisted I mention her in my review as the sweetest server I've had all day, here.  But seriously, she adorbs.

Love this place! I came here for the first time on Friday for their live jazz. You should definitely come visit when they have live jazz- it's a totally different atmosphere! You can find out when live jazz is from their Instagram page - it's usually Fri and/or Sat nights. I loved Alex Abdoulaev and Emily Mahoney. The music totally set the mood, and I liked their song choices. The whole ambiance of Jazz+Soju is very romantic (though not quiet due to chatter and music), hipster, and chic. Dim lighting, copper mugs and utensils, tall ceilings and rusty chandeliers. The table top was sticky though, so I'd just suggest having employees wipe the tables down better. Servers were polite and always had a smile on their face :)Their Korean Fried Chicken takes 20-25 minutes to come out, so order it right away if you know that's what you want. I think they were pretty busy Friday so it took more like 30 minutes to get our large soy garlic order. Very large pieces of chicken - SUPER crispy skin and moist! They were super delicious, but I do like the flavor of Bonchon's Korean Fried Chicken more. The chicken here is definitely on the salty side from the soy; could have used more sweetness + garlic flavor. Would also appreciate if they gave customers wet napkins to help with sticky fingers haha. Bonchon does that. We also ordered their beef+egg bibimbap (not hot stone, which is another $3). Delicious! They provide side of gochujang (Korean sweet and spicy red pepper sauce). I wish the portion was a smidge bigger. The food here is definitely on the pricey end, but if you consider the atmosphere and live music aspect to it, it makes sense. This place is more of a treat yo self kinda place since it is more expensive. Free parking 90 minutes in Anthem House Garage. You simply download the app or text a number and then click a link to start your 90 minutes. Not sure how they know when you're past 90 minutes, but you click a link to extend your time and add credit card payment. More...

Great atmosphere, great food, great service!! We had Silena as our sever who is also a bartender and she was fantastic! She was so welcoming and fun, we enjoyed chatting with her at the bar! The food was delicious too and I love the cheese curds with the spicy sauce, perfect combo! The spicy tuna roll was also spectacular, they gave a lot of tuna! Will be returning for sure! More...

Nice place for friends gathering, the place is spacious and not too noisy. Like the fried chicken a lot, probably is the best Korean fried chicken in Baltimore!

I came for restaurant week dinner with my boyfriend. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. I docked a point because one of the items wasn't accurately described on the restaurant week menu, and they were so short staffed that a staff member who happened to be there for dinner (as a patron) had to unexpectedly start serving tables in his street clothes. They really should be better staffed for a Saturday evening, knowing that they'll have a decent number of customers will be walking through the door, in my opinion. More...

We went to try their restaurant week dinner menuWe found easy free public parking on the same block as the restaurant, across the street. The decor and ambiance inside was great. They created an intimate feeling with the high backed booths, hanging lights, old school movie and jazz posters all around. There was also light jazz music playing :)With three of us dining, we selected a wide variety of items to share, sampling it all. Appetizers: If if isn't Restaurant Week, I'd skip the apps next time.Tuna poke bowl was delicious and fresh.Kimchi Fries had too much cheese, not enough kimchi.Korean pancake had zero flavor.Brussel Sprouts had all the flavor, bold spicy deliciousness.Bulgogi had a delicious spice to itThe Spicy Soy Garlic wings means spicy!!! My mouth was deliciously on fire. Wonderful crispiness, with a nice juicy inside, POWERFUL flavor.Entree: I got the Jaeyook Bokum; it was good, but not as amazing as the Sizzle La Galbi; the meat was so tender, with the perfect amount of grilling.I really enjoyed our meal, but I wasn't blown away, and probably won't go back, but they were a great bucket list restaurant to check off my 'must-try'!

I stumbled along this place after hearing of a 3 hour wait at a restaurant nearby. We had a group of 4 on a Saturday night and were promptly seated around 7 pm on a Saturday night. We started off with some mixed tempura, excellent coating with a great crunch. For my entree I had the pork... which was super flavorful and spicy! We also shared a group of the wings and they were nice and crispy. The spicy version is veryyy hot so I recommend getting the half and half, or else your mouth will be on fire. Dinner was topped off with some mochi. More...

What a great place. I went there on a date and we got fantastic treatment even when they were incredibly busy. Every dish was awesome, from the chicken teriyaki to to bulgogi. Even the macha ice cream was delicious. They let us stay and have drinks as long as we wanted and made it clear we could stay as long as we wanted even though they were super busy. Drinks were good and worth the (high) price. I will definitely be back as soon as possible. More...

Dined in a couple times but usually we just order to go. The fried chicken is by far the best thing they have, not surprisingly. We also love the kimchi fries and seaweed salad. Food is always ready in a reasonable amount of time when we order carry-out. Just make sure you eat it right away while the skin is still crispy! More...

I'd like to thank my friend who lives at Anthem house for sharing this gem with me. Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendliest staff. The Korean fried chicken is hard to beat with a crisp shell enveloping an incredibly tender interior. We shared the large portion amongst 4 people and it was the perfect amount. Honorable mentions include the japchae and bulgogi fried rice which were well cooked and seasoned. All too often I've visited Korean restaurants offering dishes drowned in sauce. Jazz + Soju offers a surprisingly light meal without compromising on flavor. I'll be back! More...

Very nice place. Visited for the first time and the first thing that jumped out was the gentleman playing smooth jazz and singing. He sounded really good! We sat at the bar and was greeted by a nice bartender who took care of us right away. I had the Asian pear mojito and my husband just a bud light. For food, he ordered the 10 wings 1/2 and 1/2! He loved them but did make a few "wow's" and "ooohhhhs" while eating the spicy. Let's just say his nose was running when he finished those so yea, they're hot! I had the chicken skewers which were yummy. It came with this amazing sauce and green and purple cabbage which I devoured! We also got an order of French fries that were really hot and fresh! Very yummy!! The ramen and noodle bowls looked amazing and I think I'd try that whenever we return! Beautiful space and friendly service. Parking is free at the anthem garage for the first 90 minutes which was plenty of time! Check it out!! More...

We came back and ordered the bulgogi fried rice as well as the fire-beef bulgogi! Both were delicious, the fire-beef bulgogi cake with a fried egg on top and then bulgogi fried rice was more of a mixture of the bulgogi and fried rice with veggies, however you could add a fried egg for $1. 50 to the dish. Their water comes in Moscow mule-esque cups which keep the water extra cold. Their cutlery is also copper, keeping with the theme. I enjoyed their decorations, with a wall of old records from Jazz artists like Duke Wellington. This restaurant is a must go! More...

Have been here a few times, always with a group of friends. On my first visit, the restaurant was amazing at accommodating our growing group on a Friday night. Definitely will be returning in the future. Location/Parking: Located under Anthem House in the Federal Hill neighborhood, across from a large shopping center with Shoppers/Chipotle/Starbucks. You can park in the Anthem House garage, where your first 90 minutes are free (if I'm remembering correctly, you still have to register your credit card number with an app to park but they won't ask to charge your card until after the 90 minutes). I've also walked over after parking in the Shoppers parking lot area.Food/Drink/Vegetarian options: First off, this place has an amazing variety of soju martinis - flavors include lychee, mango, guava, and passionfruit. Lychee is my personal favorite, but I've had sips of several flavors and they were all great! What I like is that the flavors taste fresh and aren't artificial or overly sweet. All of their drinks are served in cute glassware. The menu has several dishes that can be made vegetarian, and they can also make any veggie sushi roll that you like. During my first visit, I ordered the veggie tempura udon, which I did not like at all, but my friend loved it - I think I just didn't love the slightly fishy flavor of the broth. The second time I went, we had the kimchi fries which were delicious and veggie sushi which was served in a larger portion than I expected. Several friends have said the fried chicken is absolutely amazing. Service: Attentive waitress, always made sure we were okay, great with refilling drinks.Ambiance: A little bit of a mixed ambiance. It tries to be upscale-trendy with gorgeous cutlery, copper cups for water, fun record display and cute pillows, but then has several huge TVs in the middle of the dining room, which give it a more sports-bar feel. I would recommend it as a good place to go with a group, not so much date night unless you want to go somewhere casual.Attire:Casual. More...

I'd been looking for a place that served garlic soy wings ever since Bon Chon closed down in Canton. What a great find in JAZZ + SOJU. The location is great and very accessible. Everything is clean and neat and most importantly the food and drinks are yummy! They have happy hour $6 martinis I suggest the mango and peach, they are SO GOOD. And the main entree, the wings are delicious. They make them fresh so prepare for about a 20-25 minute wait, but it'll be well worth it. More...

Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised to see how Korean the place was (somehow got the impression it was more standard).  It feels like a bar with TVs and wood, I'm not sure where the jazz really comes in other than background music.We all got the soju cocktails--I had lychee, daughter mango and hubby lemon.  I like sweet cocktails so I liked mine, hubby doesn't and lemon was the least sweet so he rolled with it.We got edamame, seafood pajeon (scallion pancake) and Korean Chicken wings, half spicy half not.  The spicy was SPICY!  But delicious.  Nice to know a tasty pajeon's so close!
