One of the best meals we’ve had in London in a long time. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The wine pairing was great and was perfectly complementing the dishes. The service was friendly, attentive, and thoughtful, making the evening feel truly special. We can’t wait to return. This experience exceeded all expectations, an easy 6 out of 5!

Food: The food is amazing, all of the dishes were really well done and well thought out. The portions could have been slightly bigger but it's a very small thing. My friend got the wine pairing and was really impressed. Me on the other hand felt the non alcoholic pairing had some misses in the drink pairings.

Service: The staff service was very good. The staff were all very interactive and they were able to talk about their dishes at length and one of the good touches I noticed was that one of the waiters immediately realised he poured a bit too little sauce onto one of my friends plates and fixed it.

Atmosphere: It's quiet but not in a bad way, you can tell that most people are just enjoying their meals very much and it seemed like people were having fun.

It's a great place to visit on a special occasion and I was very very impressed with everything. A few tweaks on the soft pairing would be all I'd say they need to work on but these things are all minor things in a wonderful experience.

Visited sollip on the 11th of Jan 2025 for a birthday celebration and it was incredible

The menu was fantastic, light and delicate. The star of the show for me was the steak. Fantastically cooked. The cocktails were also great, but I really loved the lemonade.

Whilst the food was great I think the staff make this experience 1000x better. We had the loveliest waiters and they could talk about the dishes at length, they spent time explaining the dishes and making our experience great. As we were celebrating a birthday they also gave us a fantastic slice of cake for free & one of the waiters even gave us some wine to taste because she thought we had the same taste (she was correct)

I have 0 things that they could do better and will 100% recommend. The team also gave us a happy birthday signed card with all their signatures. 10/10

It’s my second time at Sollip and certainly not the last. The atmosphere is relaxed but vibrant. Service is also relaxed which I personally prefer; they don’t check-in too much or too little - just the perfect amount. Each dish highlights key flavours and ingredients from Korea which I loved. Simply said - every dish was beautiful and delicious. Can’t wait to come again for next season’s menu.
