Such a nice atmosphere and beautiful decor. Soul dining definitely delivered the experience and beautiful food. Must try their truffle menu!!
Recommended dishes: wagyu tartare with nori crisps (truffle as an addition), kingfish in kimchi water & basque cheesecake
Soul Dining provided us with attentive customer service all night. The food was innovative and involved a variety of textures and flavours. The Truffle Mushroom Cream Tteokbokki and Eggplant Parmesan was the highlight dishes for me, would come back just for them!
However, I didn’t quite experience the whole “korean fusion” from the restaurant - there were some korean flavours mentioned on the menu, but they didn’t seem to deliver as such on the plate.
Overall a good experience.
What a find! Amazing - and memorable (in a good way!) - food. Lovely service. Cool but warm atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

What a wonderful experience. The staff were absolutely wonderful and made us feel really welcome and comfortable. The food was fantastic and boasted bold strong flavors. A must for a great night out
First time trying a Korean fusion restaurant and it did not disappoint! Everything was so good!!!!
We visited this place for my partner’s birthday. We ordered the tasting menu with drinks. They were great and creative dishes. As soon as we finished the dessert dish, the owner or manager came to our table and the next table to ask to pay and vacate the table. He wasn’t rude, however we were bit disappointed. Because there were empty tables. Still we would like to come again for the dishes, but hopefully he doesn’t ask us to leave.
This is a really great modern Korean restaurant. To start they provided complimentary bread made from rice flour which was really nice. All the dishes that we ordered were really good so I highly recommend the curly corn on the cob, chicken cream tteokbokki and the barbecue short rib. The gnocchi fried as a side was also really good and filling. Definitely stay for dessert as the fusion of Korean flavours into the dishes were done really well. My favourite was the cinnamon doughnut but the crepe parcel and the milk semi-freddo were also really good. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Great place for small and large groups too. Happy to come back again!
I loved the interior and seating was very comfortable. Every dish was amazing except the kingfish - there was no wow factor to it like the other dishes. The beef tartare was so delicious with some of the beef being cooked from the torching. The corn was very nicely flavoured and pairs very well with the pistachio. The pork was pulled at the table while the lovely waiter explained the dish to us. It smelt so good and tasted amazing.
The dining experience here was absolutely amazing. We came here for lunch and we were the only customers there for a while lol. It's true that good food takes time, especially in SOUL. We waited for beef ribs for ages but it worth waiting. The ribs were tender without too much seasoning, but truly spot on. Every dish was impressive, even the complimentary rice cake was also quite yum. Highly recommend this place!
This my first time came to Soul Dining and i love their food. I tried wagyu tartare, corn on the cob, bbq beef short rib and crepe parcel. it was amazing! Friendly staff, excellent service. i'll definitely come again.
We discovered Soul Dining just before the last Sydney lockdown back in 2021. We went there twice and liked their food. Now we have been back for the third time recently and it was great to know they have kept up the high standard. Soul Dining has been consistently good and their wine list was excellent. We have enjoyed their food and wine on every visit.
However, the small menu has not changed at all and after three visits, we crave something new.
Enjoyed the tasting menu. It was my first taste of Korean-Australian fusion and I look forward to more.
Great vibe and ambience. We liked the wagyu tartar, king fish, bread starters, octopus (v tender).
Chicken was a slight disappointment though as the flesh was not permeated with flavour though it had a good surface taste + sauce.
Not sure why it is only one ‘$’ though. It isn’t a cheap place but is good value
Such a great experience tonight. Hadn't heard much about Soul dining before but would return. We had the tasting menu and they tailored it for me due to dietary requirements and I was amazed at how effortless that was. I'd recommend the tasting menu as you get to try so many items from the menu. My personal favourite was the prawn tteokbokki - I will go back to eat this again and again!
Had the tasting menu, food was nice except the fact that the first four courses were drenched in olive oil.
Service was alright but perhaps attempt to maintain perfect professionalism resulted in a cold and robotic service through out the evening.
Interesting take on Korean cuisine, especially when its rare to see it in fine dining form in Sydney. The highlight was the entree which was one of the best bread thingies ive had in my life. The Gochuchang Chicken was amazingly cooked and very filling! The dessert with the sweet potato was also mind blowing.
Food was amazing, especially the wagyu and the chicken from the tasting menu. Great value, good service and scrumptious food. It’s a place you will want to go back again and again.
Soul Dining is definitely a treat. I've dined here three times and I'm always excited to try new dishes and revisit my favourites. The drink selection is broad and the cocktails are inventive. The interior is cosy and service is friendly. Very much recommend for special occasions and catch ups with friends. Book early as its popular!

Really looked forward to dining at Soul Dining. Strong hit and miss on the food we had. Dark ambience - dark that a table had to use their mobile torch for the menu, could also barely see much in the bathroom 😂.
Anyway, for the food, we started with the complimentary rice bread with the anchovy butter and sea salt. Very different texture (sticky - like rice cakes), paired with the butter 👌🏼 - could have a few more of these. Next, we had the wagyu truffle tartlet ($15/piece) which was amazing as well - tartlet was made with dumpling skins and were thin and really crunchy. Tartare was so balanced from the sweetness of the pear.
Corn riblets ($16) were a miss for me, purely because it was really sweet (though good). Just didn’t think it was followed well after 2 really savoury dishes. Felt more like it belonged in a cantina.
Kyu-a-sang ($32) was also a miss for me. Brown butter sauce was amazing but wasn’t a fan of the mandu itself. Didn’t think the ratio of dough to filling was right and felt like every bite had a different taste to it. If I’m right with the herb, had some parsley too course which just took over most of the flavour in some bites.
Prawn tteokbokki ($36) was decent - pretty much a ‘chilli crab’ sauce tteokbokki with prawns. The sauce was amazing - cleaned the plate. Prawns was slightly over cooked. Tteokbokki was slightly chewier and didn’t soak up as much of the sauce. Definitely need a spoon for this dish to scoop the sauce together with the tteokbokki.
Claypot rice with Glacier 51 toothfish ($68) was dish of the night for us. Loved the flavours. Literally an umami bomb with the truffle oil, ikura and the fish itself. Rice was a tad bit moist for our liking. Fish was slightly overcooked - felt like the fish was a tad bit dry and lost its natural oiliness. But still a great dish nonetheless. Also loved the crispy bits at the bottom!
Finished with the truffle makgeoli bingsu ($25). Loved it! No complains at all - probably one of the best desserts we’ve had in awhile. Really balanced on the sweetness for a dessert.
