About SoolSool Korean Bistro

Tucked off Cavill Avenue, SoolSool Korean Bistro trades tabletop barbecue grills for unpretentious, slow-simmered home cooking and lively pocha vibes. Regulars head straight for the rich kimchi jjigae, peppery beef rib soup, and steaming hotpots dished out in hearty portions. Shareable rounds of crisp seafood pancake and Korean fried chicken arrive quickly alongside cold beer and bottles of grape soju. Run by a Korean family whose hospitality makes newcomers feel instantly at ease, the small room hums with energy well into the evening, anchored by bubbling bowls of soft tofu stew and jiggly steamed egg.

  • Simmered Korean Comfort Food: Piping-hot bowls of kimchi jjigae, rich beef rib soup, and soft tofu stew served in filling, generous portions.
  • Late-Night Drinking Dishes: Casual pocha-style plates like crispy seafood pancakes and crunchy fried chicken paired with cold beer and flavored soju.
  • Warm Family Hospitality: An intimate, family-operated dining room off Cavill Avenue with attentive, warm hospitality.

    The intimate space channels the casual charm of an alleyway Korean drinking house with fried chicken, pancakes, and drinks.

    Tucked away in a small arcade, this bistro provides an authentic, reasonably priced sanctuary away from tourist crowds.

    Great little Korean restaurant in a small arcade. Authentic hotpot and seafood pancake is crisp on the outside and soft inside.

    The reasonable price and comfortable service were good. I can't say it tastes incredible, but it's well worth it.

  • Pace Your Order Around Generous Portions

    Dishes come in very substantial portions, so order progressively or plan to share soups and savory pancakes across the table.
