"This place is my favourite place to go for authentic Korean food now. Fancy being in Dunedin, NZ I have found my favourite Korean restaurant. I love the fried chicken any flavour as they were crisp outside and tender inside. So so yummy! The kimchi soup was so good too. The best that I have tasted so far. Not too sour, spicy or sweet. The owner is a friendly Korean lady, can speak English very well. Quiet and cosy ambience. The price was also reasonable and affordable."

"Have been back multiple times with my partner and always have a great time. Service is always friendly and fast and it’s quickly become our favourite restaurant! We’ve been craving good Korean food and certain dishes which we can’t seem to find elsewhere and Sool absolutely delivers. Our favourites include the fried chicken (mad garlic spicy is so good! But actually spicy too so be warned!!) and the army stew. My partner also really enjoys the Sool house lager too Really happy to see that every time we come back it seems to be getting more and more popular! We’ll be back again soon~ see you next time!!"

"Oh! I am so impressed with good service and food. My family visited for dinner, and my children looked really happy after we ate all. I asked my son(4 years old boy), "What was your favorite dish?" And he told me "ALL. " I am also hopeful to go there again with my friends. Thank you!"

"I love this place. Fun fact, Sool in Korean means alcohol! I love the servers, they're so sweet and kind. The food is so good, the chicken is so crazy juicy, the alcohol is fun... Yeah this is my comfort restaurant. It's a bit expensive but the food makes me so happy I feel like home. I hope ownership never changes as long as I live."

"Authentic Korean food with a great atmosphere. Kimchi soup is balanced in flavour , thick and yummy. Fried chicken with bone...the bone version, personally not for me because I do not enjoy certain parts of the chicken meat. But flavour wise is superb. Will order boneless chicken next time. The side dishes are my favourite...one of the best tried so far and the best part, it could be refilled. On our second visit, we ordered boneless chicken in garlic mayo sauce. Chicken is succulent and tastes good."
