Soya Korean and Japanese Restaurant in Woking

Great fusion asian food. Eat in or take out. Good sushi, noodles and my favourite Bibimbap.

The risk of a tedious journey stuck on the M25 sent us to Woking last minute and we were glad to be able to book Soya for an early dinner. The choice is somewhat bewildering and this immediately sent alarm bells ringing. It's been long established that eateries can generally achieve much better care and quality when they focus on only a select range of dishes. We chose across the menu to suit differing preferences at the table. It was all prepared adequately, but nothing to write home about. Tempura prawns were certainly on the thickly coated side, taking away from the delicate seafood flavour. The sweet chilly chicken resulted in a surprisingly big portion for a starter, but had good flavour, even if the little nuggets were on the harder side of tender chicken. The ramen offers a huge portion again and was completely inoffensive but also utterly unexciting. This also afflicted the Korean BBQ and Dolsot Bibimbap, which made for a rather repetitive eating experience that never fully delivered. Soya served us well for impromptu dinner plans avoiding gridlock and probably in its genre is still a decent place. That said, I'd strongly recommend that they focus on a few things to do really well to offer something that truly excites customers. The flavour, cookery, and dining experience suffered from the myriad approach.

Have been to soya many times and the food is always very good. Latest time the staff weren't overly helpful or friendly. No high chair available, which made it very tricky (so won't be coming again with my child unfortunately). However, the food was very tasty and enjoyed the extra bits that came before main (free tempura and miso soup). Service was quick and the did give us a larger table as we had kids with us.

Criminally underrated restaurant, the authentic Korean BBQ experience is amazing. Highly recommended for quality food in Woking.

It's our first time to visit this restaurant and we were not disappointed. In fact it's highly recommended. The food is yummy and the prices are reasonable. We will not hesitate to go back numerous times.

My usual Japanese takeaway was closed so ordered from SoyaWoking.It wasn't bad,tasted nice but the portions for the price were disappointing in comparison to the other place.The pieces were smaller,fish thinner,just not what I expected. Also, when you order something that's got a "Family" description it it and costs a bit more,you usually expect it to feed a family.The platter we got would feed 1.5 people.We ordered some extras as well (there were 2 adults and 1 child) and we were still hungry.Very expensive snack I would say.

Pleasant little restaurant, we didn't make use of the in table BBQ but rather we all 4 of us had bibimbaps, a Korean dish served in a heated bowl, it was delicious, served quickly too. Reasonably priced too. If I were local I would be back more often.

Very poor take away sushi food in our opinion, and compared to other places. Having been looking forward to a treat we find that the sushi you get from the sainsburys bar in brookwood is actually better sadly. Extremely disappointed with both value for money and food quality

I’m an old customer. Overall the food is very nice. I like their mackerel bento and it tastes delicious. The delivery is very quick, normally within 1 hour. The boss is friendly.

Service was a little questionable dining in. Staff were a bit rude. One staff literally just stopped talking to us at one point mid order and went off somewhere. Same person also poured beer everywhere while serving and walked off. As for the food, the okonomiyaki wasn’t okonomiyaki (No aonori or cabbage). Tasted nice though. Katsu curry was also the wrong kind of curry, but the katsu was nice and crispy. A bit disappointed sadly :(
