Such a good KBBQ joint. The food is delicious and service is even better! Sue was our cooker and she was so lovely! So was the owner who gave us a free can of drink. Amazing food, great value and such a good experience. Will definitely be back! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting good, authentic KBBQ!

Came here with my 3 other friends on a Thursday night after work and we absolutely loved it! We opted for the 29.90 AYCE kbbq deal and ate to our hearts content. The service was so friendly and attentive which we all felt and want to applaud. The quality of the meats were also good and there were so many side dishes that came with it such as corn cheese, fried chicken, dumplings and kimchi stew. We will happily come here again!! Thank you :)

I booked through zomato (bless) and it was an easy experience!!

Ordered:
๐Ÿท๐Ÿฎ Pork and Beef set (2 ppl): 1 serve pork belly, 1 serve scotch fillet, soybean paste soup ($48.00)
๐Ÿ” Mild Chicken Thigh Fillet ($15.00)
๐Ÿฅ” Spicy Rice Cake: stir-fried rice cake, veggies, and fish cake in a spicy sauce ($15.00)
+ ๐Ÿง€ cheese ($3.00)
๐ŸŒฝ Corn cheese: corn baked in a layer of cheese ($10.00)

Review:
I quite liked the food here is. Everything was tasty, and easy to eat. The standout was the corn cheese... I'm almost convinced that you can't do corn cheese wrong! Sweet corn, with the decadent smooth cheese just keeps me going.
Banchan dishes were also generous. They've got a couple of my favourites in there - the soybeans and the fishcakes ๐Ÿคค.

Service is friendly, and attentive. We were seated quite near the register, so catching their eye wasn't difficult. They also don't charge surcharge for card payments (but they do a 5% discount for cash!!).

The not so greats:
- not well ventilated, so walk out expecting to smell a little like kbbq
- a little bit of a tight squeeze. They have storage in the stools, but you're sitting quite close to another table.
- had to order extra rice because rice wasn't included.

Nonetheless, don't let these deter you from an otherwise easy experience at Soolzip Korean BBQ!

Went here for the first time for my partnerโ€™s birthday and ordered the $29 per person unlimited meat refill. Staff was very friendly, accommodating, aware and always smiling! Came over consistently to ask if we wanted more meat when they saw our plates were empty. This was nice as they didnโ€™t make us feel unwelcome to ask for more ๐Ÿ‘Œ

In terms of the food, my favourite was the spicy pork belly. It was deliciously marinated! All the other types of meat were nice too. However, if I had to give feedback to make the experience even better, it wouldโ€™ve been great if some of the other meats were marinated too like the chicken! Either way, it was a great meal and would definitely come back. The owner also gave us complimentary grape soda drinks too for my partners birthday which was unexpected, but definitely a nice gesture ๐Ÿ˜Š

Loved it! Would definately come back again soon!! Had the $29 set with unlimited meat refill. Excellent value. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I do worry about the potential OHS though. One of the waitresses almost tripped on a loose cord from under the table.

Meat selection was of quality unlike others. The dishes that came with the set were also very good. Corn cheese, soup (either kimchi, am spicy soft tofu, soya bean) we tried the soft spicy tofu, KFC drumettes! i would go back for the KFC and soup alone. KFC was crisp not dry and one if the best Iโ€™ve had in a while. Soup was spot on for a cold wintery night. I could have a whole pot if it was available!!

WIR? Definitely!

Came here for BBQ and went for the All You Can Eat special they currently have running.
Priced at $29, we got the Beef Chicken Pork option. It was definitely good value for money. It comes served with selection of sides and lettuce which can all be refilled and a choice of soup. It also came with side of 6 small pieces of fried chicken.
I can here with a group of 4 so we got a serve of corn cheese given to us as well.
When its All You Can Eat BBQ, quality of meat tends not to be that great but honestly I was satisfied with the quailty here. Especially happy with the Pork Belly which comes thick cut and seasoned lightly with salt. The thick cut meant that it didnt become dry when cooked.
Considering the price and what you are given, it is a good place for days when you want to go all out on kbbq and leave absolutely stuffed.
I will be coming back to this place.

Great service! Walked in at 11pm & was served immediately. Food was still fresh & made fresh to order. Stone bowl bibimbap was superb as was the meat (pork belly & beef). Pork dumplings were to die for! I highly recommend the fried chicken. All flavors are amazing, however, my favourite would be the spicy. I can't fault this restaurant at all. Service, price & quality were all positives.

Had BBQ a couple of times here and the staff were really efficient. They do pretty great army stews - still love the one at Darac better but this one's a close second! The japchae was slightly bland but after a few bites, I got used to the taste and it's good.

A few weeks ago, my partner had a great Groupon deal dinner at Soolzip. The staff were attentive, friendly and very helpful.

On the menu was pork belly, pork loin, sizing beef bulgogi, Korean fried chicken and a soup of choice. All the meat dishes came out very quickly leaving the soup behind til about 10 minutes into our meal - but it didn't bother us at all as we were already trying to keep up with the first three parts of dinner. The bulgogi was cooked on the table which I thought was great. The pork for BBQ was super fresh and juicy! The Korean fried chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce complimented it very well. Last but not least - when the soup did come out (we chose the spicy tofu soup) it was super delicious. The flavours blended well and the spice wasn't too overwhelming.

Overall I really enjoyed dinner. We definitely picked up a bargain for $45 as their normal price for the above set is about $80 I believe.

Soolzip is located very close to the Queen Victoria Market, and isn't a bad spot to drop into after you've done the shopping, or even post a pub session as it stays out quite late. Funky modern interior

Fairly standard Korean fare, but done well with most of the regular cast members making an appearance - Korean Fried Chicken, bipbimbap, bulgolgi, pancakes, with which to wash down with Hite and Cass.ย 

If you haven't eaten much Korean before it is something you should try, and SoolZip is a good place to do so. If you've eaten Korean before this is a safe bet, and if you live close somewhere you might consider visiting semi-regularly.

This awesome korean place somehow is less known compared to the big brothers shoving shoulders on Victoria street. But it is my favourite restaurant in Melbourne so far. That's right by no doubt my favourite. Everything here are soo good I dont know where to start but Ill try.
Ive never actually tried their lunch menu so I cant give any opinion in that but have had dinner there and deliveries many many times.
The must have is their chef recommendation boiled pork with assorted vegetables. Pork belly boiled(/steamed?) until tender, cut in thick slices, served with garlic, chilli, special ssamjang sauce and kimchi wrapped in fresh lettuce. Guys its better than se* seriously....you can have them with their special pork bone broth stew with tender potatoes which is a perfect match.
If you think you can handle spices do try the spicy pelicana chicken..you can really taste the spice yet it was savoury with just the right hint of sweetness(other korean fried chicken joints tend to taste too sweet with hardly any spiciness). Even though they dont specialise in fried chicken its often better than chicken restaurants!!
Side dishes were great and the homemade kimchi was absolutely delicious. Always ask for the purple rice, even the rice was soo yum. Servings are generous and price very reasonable. Service was great. Food spot on consistent all the time.
Cant rave enough about this place hubby and I eat there at least once a week....well done two thumbs up!!! Xox

Dishearteningly disappointed. So we live around the corner (literally a 5min walk) and had a bunch of us having drinks etc. Decided we wanted some good Korean food and having not tried this place (but have done the other Korean shops all over this side of Victoria St) decided to give it a go. Menu - great. Reviews - decent. Food - great. All round was good.

However, the greatest let down was their inability to deliver - we had asked the order to be delivered (yes, we were THAT lazy) but were advised it would take over an hour. As we were all quite hungry, decided to change to pick up, which they said would still take 20mins. Fine. Arrived 20mins later, their delivery scooter was parked up (yes, I've seen their drivers deliver using that scooter as I walk past quite frequently) and the place was abslolutely desserted. Suffice to say we were disappointed. But the food was decent - perhaps more a dine-in place.

Recommended! Crispiest Korean Chicken we've had so far. We ordered takeaway, and the waitress forgot to pack one of the dishes at first, but quickly called us and had someone deliver it quickly for free. We had the spicy pelicana chicken, spicy pork bulgogi and beef jab chae - all had great flavour, and the spicy pelicana chicken was addictively spicy, which we love. The little extras were Asian coleslaw, potato salad and pickled tofu, and were perfect (creamy+tangy) to soothe the heat. All around a great experience, we've been back a couple times and were never disappointed. Their original fried chicken is also great, and trumps Gami, KassKass and Chimac in chrispiness!

What a lovely place ever!. I and my friends had the pleasure to dine at Soolzip on this Thursday. It was very convenient due to lots of parking places near the Soolzip. It was a contemporary and newly opened Korean fusion restaurant offering good quality of food and atmosphere. The ambiance was creative, energetic and charming. We ordered a variety of food from pork, chicken, abalone, mussel and each of them was decently sized and so fresh. Also the staffs were very friendly and fantastic, always there and willing to cater to any specific request or need particularly. Price was average, and the quality was worth it! I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to enjoy some drinking with incredible foods. I was so impressed I will be heading back next week. Hope you guys also enjoy with Soolzip : )

Slightly pricy in terms of s.... Pricey in terms of serving size but if you aren't starving and can slowly enjoy the food you can have yourself some tasty fresh food. I love their bento style box with black rice and as another reviewer said, nice dressing on the salad. The crispy chicken with the homemade chilli sauce is very nice. It's been a while since we had their chicken but months ago I enjoyed that.

Restaurant is a bit clicky. Staff don't speak English too well and it feels like most of the customers are friends.

Turn up hungry, and be prepared to roll out of here suffering from food coma. For $39.90pp on a Saturday night, get unlimited meat refill, but you will be constrained by the 1.5 hour time limit and penalised if you waste more than 100g, which is fair enough. We added some prawns and squid to the feast, which already came with sides, soup, corn cheese and the iconic fried chicken. Speedy service, delicious marinate, good variety of drinks, tables and seats that are practical and not designed for long stays. Everything is exactly as expected. Located in the Korean BBQ precinct, it doesn't stand out but certainly draws a crowd based on its quality and good value.

Tucked in the corner of Victoria street. Itโ€™s super close to Queen Victoria Market. They have rice but itโ€™s not on their menu, you can just ask. Food was yum, service was quick. Canโ€™t complain. Prices have gone up a bit, but not surprising as covid has probably effected all the small businesses in Melbourne.
