If you're in the UK and 18 then that is fine.
18 is the minimum

Soju is a spirit I believe so you would have to be 18 to order it, whether it is with a meal or not.

You can drink beer, wine etc with a meal at 16-17 but it has to be someone who is at least 18 ordering it, so it makes no difference. As the OP says they're 18, they should be OK.

Soju is not beer, wine or cider. Those are the only alcoholic beverages that those 16-17 can order with a meal. Soju is a spirit, much like vodka.
