The real taste of korea
Experience the heart of Korean hospitality at Bub & Sool Korean Restaurant in Darwin, where we are committed to sharing authentic flavors of Korea. The name “Bub & Sool” holds a deep meaning in Korean culture. “Bub” (밥) means rice, which is a staple in Korea but represents much more than just food—it is the foundation of a meal and symbolizes the idea of sharing sustenance and connection. When Koreans say, “Let’s have bub,” they are inviting someone to share a meal, to connect, and to spend time together. “Sool” (술) encompasses all alcoholic beverages, from the traditional Soju and Makgeolli to other locally fermented and distilled drinks. Together, Bub & Sool represents the philosophy of dining and drinking in a way that brings people together as “식구 (shikgu),” or “those who eat together.”
At Bub & Sool, our philosophy is to provide deliciously healthy food rooted in traditional Korean values. In Korean culture, sharing a meal is one of the purest forms of connection, where food is not just consumed but savored together. Koreans believe in nourishing the body and soul through food that is made with love, care, and intention. This is why we prepare our dishes as we would for family, emphasizing balance, quality, and authenticity. Our goal is to offer a meal that doesn’t just satisfy but also connects and comforts, as a true Korean meal should. From the flavors we create to the hospitality we offer, every detail is intended to make you feel like part of the family.
We believe in using fresh, high-quality ingredients that reflect the health-conscious side of Korean cuisine. Our chefs meticulously follow traditional recipes and add their own unique touches to present a dining experience that is as authentic as it is enjoyable. For us, creating food is not just about taste, but about making a meaningful, memorable experience that you can carry with you.
Our menu at Bub & Sool celebrates the diversity of Korean cuisine, with an emphasis on both traditional and modern flavors. For those who love BBQ, our Korean BBQ Menu is a must-try. We offer charcoal-grilled selections featuring halal-certified meats, including premium pork belly, beef, chicken, and duck. Each BBQ dish is grilled to perfection, allowing the natural flavors to shine while enhancing them with the smoky aroma of charcoal. Guests can experience the interactive nature of Korean BBQ, where grilling your food at the table brings people closer together.
For a more traditional meal experience, explore our Meal Menu, which includes Korean classics like Bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables), Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), and Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). Our signature Jeyuk-bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork) and savory pancakes (Pajeon) are fan favorites. We also offer lighter options, such as grilled mackerel and seafood dishes, which are thoughtfully prepared to highlight the natural flavors of each ingredient. Our menu is crafted to cater to a wide range of dietary preferences, from hearty meals to light, nutritious choices.
