Soo Cafe RALEIGH

Found this spot online as I was looking for good Korean fried chicken. I have to admit when I pulled up to the spot, I was apprehensive. The restaurant is located in a dying strip mall and the outside is very unassuming. BUT! The food was amazing. I ordered fried dumplings, spicy beef bulgogi, and fried chicken wings: 5 with SOGA and 5 with Sweet Chili sauce. Every single thing was perfect! The crisp on the chicken was light and crunchy even after being sauced! The Bulgogi was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the spice level was perfect! To top it off our server was amazing! He was fast, attentive and extremely kind and friendly in spite of being the only server there and handling the lunch rush by himself! Soo Cafe is definitely a hidden gem! I recommend to anyone who loves Korean food! I will be back, again and again!

We came for dinner and ordered from the menu based on the server's recommendations. We ordered both boneless and bone-in fried chicken with different sauces. The food arrived quickly, as there were only two occupied tables in the restaurant at the time. The fried chicken was different from American fried chicken. It was crispy and tender, not dry. The sauce was unique, a blend of spicy, sour, and sweet flavors. We ordered the Large portion. If you want to try fried chicken that's different from the usual, this restaurant could be a great choice.

Whoever voted this place down is a hater. The food is delicious! We had the chicken tenders, bulgogi, and chicken bibimbap and it was sooo good. Veggies cooked to perfection and all the meat was so tender.

Small and cozy restaurant with a banquet hall you can rent out for an event and karaoke. Menu is a little slim though. I always enjoy coming here. I ordered Korean fried chicken with hot/spicy sauce and Soga sauce and ate it with rice. It was delicious. Also, the seaweed salad and bugolgi was out of this world. Menu selection was very small and light was too dim but overall I always come back.

Lovely Korean Restaurant. We have been watching a lot of Korean Tv series lately and wanted to give it a try. Nice ambiance and they also have a Karoake Party going on another side. We have ordered two Chulpan Bibimbabs with Vegetables and a side of Stir fried broccoli. Also Bottle of Korean Cherry wine which was nice too. Overall the service and food were awesome. We will be returning here again.

Hands-down, the best Korean fried chicken I have ever had! I usually get takeout and the staff has always been amazing! This particular trip I got the chicken tenders with two different sauces, both on the side. Their signature soga sauce and then the sweet chili. Eventually, I will try other dishes but i can only eat so much and it would be criminal to not get the fried chicken!

2025: we’ve been here plenty of times since 2021 but the service we just received was absolutely terrible! It was not that busy. They took our order and forgot we existed. No one came back until 40 minutes later and we were asked what we even ordered. We then asked for water, and the small bowl of kimchi because yes our table was completely empty for pretty much 45 minutes. 5 min after that we got cold chicken tenders and the other meal was not ready. We had also ordered 2 bowls of rice, had to remind them, and we only got 1. THEN we had to ask for utensils lmfao. It was quite ridiculous. When we talked to them and decided to just leave instead of have the food remade, the waitress had an attitude. Very disappointing. We love the food and never had problems even when there was just 1 waiter before. Hope the service improves.. 2024: The flavors are GREAT and it's a good price for what you get. Dine in service was good too. Waiter was very nice.

The food is good and authentic. We were a little confused ordering the wings. When we ordered 2 sauces, we thought they would come in 2 separated plates or at least having something to separat them. The 2 sauces wings came in one plate which we didn't know the difference. The service is good. They have a KOK room but not sure how it works, we didn't ask. They also have a small stage area playing K-pop which is very interesting.
