Sool Dunedin is a Korean restaurant at 1 Queens Gardens in Central Dunedin, drawing a 4.7 rating from 178 Google reviews.
Korean meals are built for sharing: banchan, the small plates of kimchi, pickles and seasoned vegetables that arrive alongside the food, are often the clearest sign of a kitchen that cares. Barbecue is the classic experience, with marinated meats grilled at the table, but stews, bibimbap and noodles are where many regulars eat most often. Dishes tend to arrive as they are ready rather than in courses, so order for the table and pace yourselves. And if heat is a worry, ask: Korean cooking runs from gently seasoned to seriously spicy, and staff can usually point you to the milder side of the menu.
Right on Queens Gardens in central Dunedin, Sool — the Korean word for drink — is a well-rated place to start.
