Soju and Modern Korean at Damso
The West End Korean spot where even soju-skeptics order the yogurt bottle and come back for late-night all-you-can-eat wings.

The West End Korean spot where even soju-skeptics order the yogurt bottle and come back for late-night all-you-can-eat wings.
Damso is the Korean spot that makes even people who claim they don't really like soju suddenly like soju, specifically the cult yogurt bottle that lands on the table and refuses to leave. The room is small and pretty with a homey buzz that makes you lean in closer than you planned, and the deal is sharing: pork belly, Korean short ribs, crispy fried chicken, and rounds of flavoured soju that make the evening loose and easy. One practical note: they only seat full parties, so no arriving separately and hoping. After 9pm, the all-you-can-eat wings turn the night into something properly late and rowdy. A steady 4.3 puts this in the reliable-and-fun column, not the Instagram-bait column, which is precisely what makes it a good date.
