TOP PICK ALERT!
If you’ve not been to Newcastle’s hottest new foodie spot yet, then get yourself down there NOW! Soju & Gogi opened it’s doors just two weeks ago but it’s fun take on eating out is already taking Newcastle by storm.
If you’re after amazing service, delicious Korean food and drop-dead gorgeous decor, this place is for you. We loved the whole experience, from the warm welcome to our very own personal hot plate.
Starters come ready to eat with a smile from your waiter, and they look as good as they taste. We recommend the honey and sesame chicken wings although let’s face it, we’d happily eat everything!
For the mains you get to fire up your personal hot-plate, sunken into your table and ignited by your waiter. Simply order your meat of choice and cook it right there in front of you just how you like it. We were unsure about tis at first (why go out to cook when you can cook at home right?). Just trust us on this one though, this is like nothing you’ve ever seen on your hob at home. Your fish, meat or vegetables come with lettuce wraps which you can stuff and enjoy with what can only be described as the best sauce in the world. Seriously, they need to bottle that stuff.
We definitely recommend ordering a side – they do a delicious Korean dish of rice and vegetables served in a hot stone bowl with an egg cracked on top. We’re still thinking about this one, it was just incredible and beats egg fried rice any day.
Soju and Gogi goes straight onto our top picks list because it’s amazing for a healthier eat and because the food was honestly so amazing. Let us know what you think if you get a chance to check it out because we can’t get over it – easily one of the best meals we’ve ever had in Newcastle!
