Sulzip has been open in the city for a little while now. For a time, I didn't really make too much of an effort to go because there have been a plethora of other options in the area when it comes to Korean food. This changed earlier on when we had a gracious invite to try it out.
Arriving at 6pm on a Sunday night, it was fairly empty. However given it opens fairly late at night, I think we were definitely early. It gradually filled up during our meal however.
Each table was provided a tablet from which to order. There were quite a few options, mostly to share including large hot pots and grilled meats. There were also side snacks and individual meals as well as drinks. We chose a variety of dishes.
For drinks, we had the strawberry-ade and peach-ade. These were cool and refreshing, they were also fairly large for what they were however the flavours were definitely quite artificial.

Despite the limited amount of customers, our food did take a little while to show up, but it gave us time to slowly cook our sizzling beef.
Although titled sizzling, the beef was more of a hot pot than a grill. The bulgogi turned out to be quite wet and it disbursed a lot more liquid into the pan as it cooked, which was perfectly fine to me, infusing a lot of the meaty flavours and juices into the cabbage, sprouts and enoki.
The set came with a kimchi soup, some wrapping lettuce and sides were complimentary.
The grilled beef was not like anything I had ever previously tried. The bulgogi was well seasoned and tender, although not particularly different from the boxes that I often source from Hanaromart. After cooking, it went well in a Ssam wrap. The portion was very generous for two.
We also had a half serve of garlic korean fried chicken. This was freshly fried and came with an ample amount of garlic. The chicken was fresh and juicy on the inside whilst the batter wasn't too thick. The portion could have been a bit bigger for the price though.
Lastly we had a Kimchi Pancake. This was huge and we struggled to finish it. Having said that, there was a lot more batter and not as much kimchi as I would have liked. Whilst the portion was great, I also think that it was a little undercooked and could definitely have been crisped up a bit more. Overall, I would say that our experience at Sulzip was fairly average, I didn't mind the food there but would be in no huge rush back especially given the very competitive options nearby.
Espresso and Matcha were invited guests of Sulzip, but as always, our opinions are solely our own
