Yummy food. Thank you. Just like in Gangnam. Service is great and Wagyu was super tasty. 감사합니다. 맛있어요.
We came by on a Saturday night. The restaurant was half full. We ordered a few cuts of wagyu beef, steamed egg and side veggies. The quality of the meat was good - fatty and tender. Unlike other restaurants. they don’t cook the food for you. I was a little annoyed by the waiters and waitresses just standing around not helping. What I liked about this place is that there’s a heated ring around the bbq which they filled with canned pineapple, raw garlic in sesame oil and cheese corn. The cheese corn was delicious. The furniture is oily and a little sticky and needs a good clean. Halfway through the meal the black grease from the vent on top of the bbq dripped onto our veggies on the bbq and we had to ask the staff to change it for us and clean the vent which they kindly did. In summary, the food is pretty good but service needs improvement.
Pros: the cheesy chicken stew was flavoured really well with a very generous amount of cheese! Not too spicy which is what I like. The steamed egg here has seaweed added on top, a nice complement.
Cons: steamed eggs were a bit dry.

We have been to Soko a few times now and they have value for money BBQ meat sets available. The place is looking pretty run down though with seat coverings that are coming off and taped up ceilings. Service remains unchanged with staff not being very hands on with the cooking process.
Having said all that though, the food continues to be delicious. On our most recent visit, we had the fried chicken with spicy sauce which was packed with flavour. The bulgogi stew was tasty and had lots of beef in it. We had the BBQ beef set and portions were quite generous.
Soko is still a good choice for Korean food.
Previously:
We came to Soko on their opening weekend a few months ago (note that the overall zomato score and reviews are also based on Soko's predecessor Sut and Wine). We were totally underwhelmed by that first visit. Craving for some Korean BBQ, we decided to give Soko a second chance.
Fortunately, it was a great decision. The food has certainly improved significantly and I'm in love with their fried chicken - boneless pieces of well seasoned and carefully fried tender succulent chicken...mmmm.
The pork set was delicious but we were slightly disappointed by the wagyu set - the beef was chewy. The kimchi soup was spicy and full of ingredients including seafood. And the kimchi was addictive.
The main down point was the not very attentive service. Expect to cook your own meats even though Soko appears to be adequately staffed - they seem to like to congregate near the entrance to exchange their stories of the day.
Extra points for their 'live' musician - it made our second Soko experience very pleasant.
We came here for dinner on a Friday night (3 people) without booking, it was about a 20 minute wait which we were fine with. The meat and sides were delicious and portions were okay. However, it took a long time for the food to come out. Granted they were busy, however majority of the food is cooked by the customer anyway on their bbq plate.
Great food and atmosphere. Only K BBQ place that also has small side dishes served on the side of their grill. Super cool.
Chicken was delicious and the sauces provided were perfect. Highly recommend this place and will be coming back!

Lovely kbbq restaurant in Box Hill with a great set menu. We came as a large group, and despite not having a table booking, they decided to accommodate for us. We ordered the set F, which came with a plate of wagyu, a plate of beef and seafood, as well as a giant pot of stew which they call a casserole. We even ordered original fried chicken which was incredibly succulent and juicy, yet still crunchy. The meats were all of a high standard, and cooked on coals which is an added bonus, as it gives a more charcoal taste. The only down side is the wait staff don't help you cook and cut it at this restaurant, nor do they help change your grill pan. They gave us very blunt scissors which was a pain to cut some meats with tendon. We also ordered kimchi pancake, which was average, and ddukbokki, which wasn't spicy and actually sweet which we didn't like. But the meat and the fried chicken, as well as the stew, makes up for it. We each paid around 40$ each, which is what you'd expect from KBBQ. 100% would return now that I know what's great and what's not so much.
Big portions for the beef set for 2p, we ordered that and a bibimbap and an extra LA style rib for a table of 5, and we left full. quality of the beef is pretty good, the bulgogi beef stew was yum, and so was the bibimbap. Good price and good food, would recommend.
Overall great food, ok experience, soko is a restaurant that mainly focus on BBQ but also have decent amount of non bbq dishes. Singing performance on saturday night, the staff are efficient but they will not help you bbq the meat. Price wise not too expensive, one thing to note is becareful with the vegetable, they don't wash it.
Love this place. Best Korean bbq in bokkie. Been here over two times and the food is always great. Big serving sizes, even for the set menu. You never need to add extra meat or dishes there is always enough. Love it!!
We ordered the Set B Combination Set for 2 people ($78) and it was the best Korean BBQ experience! The staff were quick to your service and would help you to change the hot plate when it gets too dark. The ambience was perfect and the exhaust pipe is adjustable in terms of height. The food was amazing! Absolutely love the soup, the rice, the salad, the pineapples, and the pork combo! Some of the pork came in seasoned so was slightly spicy but we left feeling the food coma in full effect!
Will go back again and recommend to all those who don’t normally like Korean BBQ like me. This is definitely worth a try!
Enough quantity for two people as we have ordered beef set which offers different flavours, I highly recommend to try this restaurant. I love the sea food soup, the baby oyster is so fresh, the soup is tasty and suitable for winter. Staff helped us to cook, very nice.
Nice fresh ingredients that you cook yourself. Lots of fun and will be back. Service is what you would expect from international students in suburban Box Hill, not great but not bad.
The food was both delivered quick and with excellent quality. One of the best restaurants I’ve been and definitely suggest to anyone and will be back often
Great conversion from the previous restaurant, feels more lively now. The meat quality and quantity are excellent, many different BBQ sets to choose from and definitely enough food to feed the hungry meat lovers. Good place for friends or family gathering.
Very nice restaurant, look very simple, clean and great service!! We had a set of chicken bbq and special beef set and 1 bottle of soju, the total is $194 for 5 people which is great and they were giving a lot of food to us, thanks.
Nice！ the wagyu so nice， highly recommended ! Especially I high recommend the chicken soup , so yummy! And staff quite helpful! Environment is good , it seems they also have live music some day ! All in all it is good place to have Wagyu BBQ .
Came back for a second time after awhile, we thought to try out one of their menu set. Selected the all beef (set D), which came with a variety of beef and a soup of your choice. We pick the kimchi soup, which was surprisingly good! Would recommend! Food quality was good, we had better customer service the second time here.
This place was great! I loved the set menus, I dined with a group of 6 girlfriends and there was enough food. I liked that we could order 2 sets and add extra rice! It gets really busy on Saturday nights. The staff are friendly too!

Came here on a Sunday night and quite easily scored a table for 4. We used to go to the same spot under a different management so it would be interesting to see what the new one offers.
First off, I havent been to a Korean BBQ restaurant with bad ventilation for a very long time. It was really smokey when we entered. Food selection was good, and they had drinks half price after 8.
We ordered the wagyu set with extra pork belly, marinated chicken, and a seafood pancake.
They really need to clean the fans cos there was oil dripping as we cooked which was really unappealing. If you are used to having someone cooking for you then you may also be disappointed cos we were cooking everything ourselves. And to add as well, their charcoal stove was probably smaller than usual so you can only cook the meat in the middle, hence longer to cook all the food as well.
The food quality was not bad, service was certainly lacking. Waited for menu, waited for rice, waited for someone to attend to us. Won't be in a rush to return.
One of the best Korean BBQs in town, wagyu and five colored pork belly are the best! I have confirmed with the staff that they are planning to serve tap beers, which is great for the coming World Cup lol. Nice dishes, friendly staff and great services, will come back again for sure!
Went this Korean bbq restaurant last Saturday , really like the environment, quite busy on the day, varies meat is really great, especially high quality wagyu beef is yum and affordable .Korean waitresses service is warm and nice. Would be bk for sure
soko is very good , waiter and waitress are friendly ,the service was good, meat for BBQ is fresh especially the wagyu beef and the marinated meat was delicious, the food serve fast and the price was resonable. i went there last sunday was full house so better to make reservation for a seat first before you go when weekend. I am sure will come back there regurally due to their nice service amd delicious food.
The food is really good, good quality and tasty. Pleasant environment and friendly staff. I've been to another korean bbq before, but this one is the best. Nice experience!

I’ve been to Korean BBQ twice in my life before going to SUT and Wine. The first time was a pretty crappy place in Box Hill, the second time was an amazing place in the city. SUT and wine was pretty good but not as good as the place in the city. I went here with my sister on Friday night.
We decided to get the Beef BBQ set which turned out to have the perfect amount of food for us two. I was worried that it would be too much but I guess me and my sister are two little piggies 🐷. We had plenty of help with cooking the meat 🥩 and it was cooked pretty well but I got the steak off earlier because I liked it medium rare. I loved the taste of the meat being cooked on a charcoal grill. There was also dipping sauces for the meat. We also had some side dishes which included the usual kimchi, pasta salad and something else. These side dishes were done well. There was also some scrambled egg which was nice and a seafood stew which was bland unfortunately. We ordered the mild seafood stew because I don’t think my sister would’ve liked the spicy one, just because something isn’t spicy it doesn’t mean it should be bland though. There were also rice cakes in chilli sauce, I liked the sauce but the rice cakes were a different texture than I was expecting, they were kind of chewy. I’m not sure what rice cakes are supposed to be like so I can’t really comment on these ones. There was also some rice to fill us up.
The people working here were pretty friendly and very helpful. I’d like to try other BBQ places in the area and see how they compare. I’d also like to come back here and try a casserole to share.
Been here on multiple occasions, never been disappointed about their service and quality of meat dishes offered in their bbq sets. The restaurant's atmosphere is quiet and pleasant, recommended for a casual date. Price of food is on the high end but is definitely worth for the quality and service.
No surprise.
No many choice if you don’t want to eat BBQ.
Fried chicken taste Okay but dry and over cooked.
Chicken ginseng soup come with steam rice. Worth trying.
If u feel like Korean BBQ , I will suggest this place to you . Foods are extremely fresh , portions are substantial.Only thing u can’t avoid is your clothes smells after the food, but all the bbq restaurant are the same ...so just hang your clothes at the balcony after back home .
Came here a while back for a friend's bday events, had a couple bbq sets and the kimchi pancake, loved the foods especially the pancake. Service was nice and friendly.
Ok. This is a Korean restaurant with friendly Korean staff. Have been this restaurant few times. BBQ banquet is not price friendly, but the environment is very remarkable in box hill area.
A really good place for Korean BBQ and all the set menu are making you full. Taste is okay but sometimes the waitresses can not take care of everyone’s BBQ. If you just waiting for them to cook for you, maybe the meat will turn to charcoal
Popped in here a while back for a quick lunch. The bibimbap was fresh, tasty and full of colour. I'd love to come back and try the full korean bbq experience.
Big restaurant with a really nice ambience. The prices are pretty pricey for box hill, however it's expected for Korean BBQ. This is a pretty good place for a special occasion on the east side.
The beef set for $65, you get quite a lot of food, I left satisfied and super full! The meat was good quality and has a nice flavour, though I had to ask for some salt because the sauces were too sweet for my liking! The kimchi soup was ok, taste a little watered down and the egg was overcooked but the taste was okay. Rice cake was a little hard but sauce was yummy and salad was average, the side dishes was delicious except the kimchi it tasted mouldy and bitter.
I know it seems I wrote a lot of negatives but I'm just super picky. Overall I'm quite happy and I'll be back.
There are only that many places in the eastern suburbs that do Korean BBQ. Sut and Wine is one of the older decent kbbq restaurants in the eastern suburbs, and they re-did their menus so we went to check it out!
Bookings are essential, especially towards the weekend dinner times! The waitress mentioned it was fully booked when we were there on a Saturday night.
We ordered the Chef's Fresh Cut BBQ Set, kimchi soup and seafood pancake
Sut and Wine is a decent korean bbq place in Box Hill and offers a variety of BBQ sets. It is mainly packed during the evening compared to the quite lunch time sessions. The service is very good here and staff are very friendly. Like other Korean restaurants, each table also receives a variety of side dishes, such as kimchi, radish and tofu. The ventilation here is quite reasonable, but you will still leave the restaurant with a smokey bbq smell. The bbq meat and pork are marinated very well and portions are reasonable and decent. We've always had a pleasant dining experience here and would recommend to others interested in Korean bbq at Box Hill.
We ordered a set which is $99 for two. The beef is amazing and their staffs are really nice. I can't try their wine coz I have to drive. BTW they didn't serve take away box for free.
Decent Korean BBQ with a good variety and selection of meats. The place has reasonable ventilation, which is always a plus with this type of food - nothing worse than a smokey restaurant and leaving smelling like your food. The staff here are very friendly and make the dining experience pleasant.
The food here was amazing, the price is reasonable with the size they give. I ordered the tteokboki, sweet potato noodles and naengmyeon.
Definitely order the naengmyeon, the soup and noodles are the best i've ever tasted. The portion of the sweet potato noodles is massive, enough for two people!
Food was delicious, everything was very clean and professional, enjoyed the novelty of the BBQ and had an all round enjoyable night. Serve was also really generous and all staff were lovely.
The BBQ packs are definitely the way to go, for us there was only one we all liked and even then had to swap out one item.
Although we loved it, would have been great if there was a pork,chicken lamb combo.
Experience was fantastic, Ambience was great and staff helpful. Would definitely come back
Very accommodating. Booked for 4 people, but 1 additional person came last minute. The staff kindly moved us to a larger table. Food was excellent. Had BBQ and the meats were looked by the staff. One of the pork belly slices had burnt on the BBQ, so the staff member replaced it with no extra charge. 100% would reccomend.
Very tasty beef bulgogi bibimbap but at $18 also quite pricey compared to nearby Korean places. The decor is nice and it has a better atmosphere than many nearby restaurants, which is reflected in the higher prices.
Always love Yummy Korean BBQ, simple middle quality food with excellent services, good set out with warm lighting very stylish restaurant in box hill...flavour is good, price is middle range very affordable, totally would come back for more for an casual dinner 😋
Lovely customer service, despite it being very busy a lot of the time. This is of course due to the great quality of the food. Highly recommend the bibimbap and soondubu/tofu and seafood stew! They are much better than the ones you find in the CBD.
Classiest Korean BBQ place around.
To date is still probably the premier venue for Korean BBQ; foodwise and wine list/drink list.
Great set up, roomy and very pleasant service, just the exhaust is not strong enough, you'll come home with that BBQ aroma.
Still classy though.
Ordered the original fried chicken & beef japchae today. The fried chicken came with a really nice sweet chilli sauce, but the chicken was over-fried and on the dry side. Japchae was done well, a big portion and had good flavours, but the beef was bland. Service was attentive but $39 for the meal for two seemed a bit expensive compared to the other options in Box Hill.
Lovely korean BBQ restaurant! It's nice to have somewhere that is a bit 'nicer' in the suburbs. They have a good range of meat and dishes as well as beverages. My only complaint it's that some nights they're very busy so the waiters can't constantly monitor their BBQ so things may end up slightly overcooked; Not sure if they allow customers to just manage the BBQ themselves.
Heard a lot about this Korean BBQ and finally get to try it out. Their marinated pork belly was to die for, so flavoursome, cooked to perfection (thank you to our lovely waitress who cook the meat for us). We also had the Spicy Seafood Stew which was lovely (though it is a bit too spicy for my liking). It wasn't as pricey as I thought it would be from others' word. Overall, it was good!
I like this place. Never been disappointed.
We enjoyed the hot pots, fried chickens and potato noodles here. Decent sizes and fair prices. Side dishes are plentiful and get refilled for free.
Service level is good. Please fix the toilet, it has been left unrepaired for months. What's up with that?
Will visit again.

Sut and Wine is a casual Korean BBQ restaurant located on the main road, just around the corner from the buzzing shopping and restaurant precinct that is Box Hill Central Shopping Centre. This was a completely random pick for me. My decision making process went a bit like this:. Feel like beef bulgogi and can’t be bothered travelling too far
Spacious and modern back drop presenting Korean style street food and some traditional mains. SUT and Wine are known for their do it yourself charcoal BBQ and fresh ingredients show casing east meets west flavors.
From the famous street food of rice cakes and crispy fried chicken (that comes with a good variety of sauce flavors) to traditional dishes such as bulgogi and a variety of soups- SUT caters for all taste buds. Fresh and quality ingredients. Friendly and attentive service.
Go to Korean BBQ place, never fail to deliver .
Staff are attentive, food are not cheap but good quality , and they have good ventilation thing so you don't stink afterwards .
Ordered the fresh meat set. The set comes with quite a variety of complimentary dishes (scrambled egg, rice, stew) aside from the scotch fillet, brisket, pork belly and pork . We also ordered the additional seasonal mushroom which came with 3 assorted mushrooms. The scotch fillet was a bit too tough, chewy and dry. The sweet potato noodles are a bit soft but have an aromatic smell. Overall, the smoke is still strong even though the bbq has a suction on top. The meat is average but the complimentary dishes are quite filling. The staff do turn the meat for you regularly. It gets quite busy during dinner time so don't expect to be served in a timely matter and the price is alright.
Glad that we have this restaurant in eastern suburb, the food are really nice, i always order wagyu beef ; drinks are awesome, favourite long island ice tea
I've taken a few people to Sut and they've all been pretty impressed with the food. Personally, I feel it's priced fairly for the quality of food that is served. The Korean BBQ is delicious and the selection of food is superb. I'd say order more though because the portion sizes are small. However, I'm happy to order more as that means I can try an array of different items. The kimchi stew is pretty good too, now that portion is huge!
I've been here over a dozen times and never had a bad experience yet. Meat is always fresh and quality is superb. Staff are polite and helpful when you ask for anything, some are a little shy but never rude. It's very expensive, but you get what you pay for, so I save this place for special occasions. I always book in advance and never have a problem waiting. 👍
Wish I could give it a 10 cause my wife and I just had the most fantastic Korean BBQ in Melbourne. The food were excellent and they were all so fresh. I know a lot of people have considered this restaurant to be a bit expensive comparing to other Chinese cafe in box hill, but you get what you pay for. The service was top notch and the staff were very helpful. Another great part of their service is that they were fast and spot on with our order without wasting any of our time. My wife and I are always busy working and we have decided from now on that we will go sut and wine once a month to reward ourselves a good meal. Definitely a "must try" for anyone that is looking for one of the best Korean BBQ in Melbourne. However, it would be great if they had a website because it was a bit hard to make a booking in advance. I think they don't open until 5:30pm so for anyone wanting an early dinner they will need to be there early to get a table.
Great night, great food, the meals were so tasty and everything looked and tasted amazing. We really enjoyed our dining experience. The staff were polite and helpful given it was a full house..
One of the nicer Korean BBQ places I've been to. A very warm and welcoming setting. Although it is probably on the pricier end as its not buffet, the quality of meat makes it worth it. They also have a great selection of drinks if you want to try something new.
While my experience with Korean BBQ is limited，I must say that I was highly impressed and found thw whole dining experience to be great. We had the pork belly bbq set and the beef short rib set. Both were mouth wateringly delicious. Service was great too，they pretty much handled the whole cooking which was a relief. Can't wait to return.
Lovely food. Excellent service. Romantic atmosphere. We ordered the banquet for 2 and couldn't fit it all in. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.
Clean place with good options of BBQ sets, slightly pricey, but with the amount of food served. Waiters had time to serve us initially by helping us bbq the meats, but when the restaurant gets busy, we do it ourselves since our meat get burnt, but good thing about that is they replace the burnt meats too, great service
Classiest Korean BBQ place around.
To date is still probably the premier venue for Korean BBQ; foodwise and wine list/drink list.
Great set up, roomy and very pleasant service, just the exhaust is not strong enough, you'll come home with that BBQ aroma.
Still classy though.
After we left due to extremely unkind manager looking waiter at Secret kitchen, I rang Sut and Wine and made a booking. I have requested window seat, waitress advised me on the phone window seat wasn't available and I told her to put best possible seats on hold, we were guided into window seat when we arrived.
As we planned approx $200 with duck place originally, we chose $130 meat set for 2 and seafood tufu soup for 2. As always, foods were fantastic, amount were good enough for 4 adults and 2 young kids.
It would have been 5 star if main waitress had some smile on her face, she had face with no emotion. Another non-korean waitress were kind and shot very great photo for us too,
Overall good selection of dishes and BBQ meat. The only down side is that our pork got burnt. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether we should wait for staff to turn the meat for us or do it ourselves. When we do it ourselves, they come and take over..
Very yummy, reasonable price, comfy and stylish place, some one will do the BBQ for you on the table. I especially like the set beef. Our favourite restaurant in boxhill !!!
Good service and yummy fried chicken
