Soko Korean Charcoal Bbq - Box Hill

Obviously we ordered with our eyes. there were 3 of us, and the wagyu set should have been enough to share instead we included the 8 color pig bell set. the eating was amazing, but the highlight was the next dishes, as the kim chi was really good. service was friendly and prompt. come back.

An absolutely traumatising dining experience and one of the least authentic Korean places. Affordable prices at a big cost. The most simple, common curtesies were missing such as no complimentary rice with the pork kimchi stew. The cold noodles were flavourless, and at a sickening room temperature as it was served without any shaved ice in a random ceramic bowl and not the standard cold steel bowl. The radish and cucumber were old and mushy, not refreshingly crunchy like they should be and the vinegar had to be requested. The tteokbokki was also bland and terrible. The sauce barely cling to the rice and fish cakes leaving it flavourless. The kimchi jiggae was relatively fine by itself nothing special, however the lack of rice left it simply unfulfilling. We left trembling and clutching our stomachs, do not come here.

We booked in advance and got the seat at the last table next to toilet door. So we requested to change the table. The first we asked, the waiter said no. So I asked again with another waitress she is more helpful and we got another table. Therefore, service is okay. Food is okay but the price is not worth it. I would say their food quality is same asBBQ buffet. I expected a better quality for A la carte bbq.

It was so disgusting that we found a big long hair from the fried chicken. The beef in the beef rib soup was like rubber, tooooo hard! Terrible experience.

Our go to Korean style Bbq in the locale.I’d say it is very well priced tor the quality you receive.Meats are well marbled, fresh, generous in portions and of a fairly high quality.Kimchi pancake is wholesome, nice balance of flavour, and makes for a good side.Fried chicken (boneless) was a standout too, did not expect the fry up to be this good, definitely better than other fried chicken focused franchises out there. Fresh, juicy, crispy, just overall great comfort food.It’s great that they use charcoal as opposed to electric grills, bringing out an extra level of flavour. Would recommend getting the set meal banquets, great value and covers the majority of their dishes.Highly recommend Soko BBQ in the Boxhill area.
