ZipBab Korean Cuisine — Restaurant in South Island

First time we have tried Korean food and most impressed. We don’t eat meat so da bit worried about our choices. However, found there were plenty of options. I had a spicy seafood dish that came with rice and side dishes of different pickles. My wife had similar but the main was a non spicy tofu with black bean sauce. Both meals huge and delicious. Service was excellent and attentive with the chef coming out to check if I was happy with the level of spice because I requested very hot and it was perfect. Decor is scrupulously clean and new...

Went for lunch with my family and we were pleased with the cleanliness and the appropriate distance between each tables.

We each ordered different dishes and each was lovelier than the last but do yourself a favor and try the Sundubu Chigae. Beautiful pork belly slices mixed with kimchi and tofu swimming in the most tastiest broth and topped with a fresh egg yolk. Chefs kiss Perfect to have with rice on a cold rainy day. Or in my case, any day.

Also try the korean fried chicken and the spicy pork on rice. Soooo good !

Can't wait to...

The portions were generous, the service warm, and the vibe casual yet vibrant.
