I haven't come here in some years. I had a taste for their wings so I came here for dinner tonight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was empty and I thoroughly enjoyed that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jessica was very helpful. Very good this time. I tried the beef Bulgogi fried rice and I also of course did get wings. They were still good a little more better than I remember, but still good. The Bulgogi fried rice it was OK. I think I wanted a little more flavor and I wanted some heat to it. They don't have any heat to offer. Note to self. My neighbor got the shrimp fried rice and the shrimp were very small for $20. They look like salad shrimp very disappointing. I also got my mango Soju; They no longer give it in a pineapple, which was very disappointing, but I still enjoyed it read more

Fried chicken unites people, and thus Cafe Soho is a great place to enjoy some Korean fried chicken wings in the heart of Philly. *AMBIANCE* Street parking is a bit tough around this area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sometimes I find the seating situation can be a bit weird depending on what hostess you get.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You want to request a certain seat? They'll tell you that's reserved for a certain party size even though the restaurant is mostly empty[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's some giant screens where they endlessly play korean music videos so you can bop to the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] *FOOD* You go here for the Korean fried chicken, and you won't regret it. The Soho chicken wings are some of the crispiest wings I've had, with tender meat on the inside and flavorful skin. They claim to not use antibiotics, and the chickens are raised cage free, to offer you the freshest chicken. You can never go wrong with the soy garlic sauce, though they have other options like sweet chili, spicy, seasoned and special sauces. The side of daikon that they give you adds a nice touch. Their seafood pancake is also solid. Very crispy exterior and flavorful interior. Highly recommend! *SERVICE* They have these buttons on the table to call your server, despite the restaurant being mostly empty. I found our servers to be friendly and the food came fast. Overall, one of the best KFC places in the area and I would definitely return! read more

It's been 12 years since I've been here, and I'm happy to say the garlic soy wings still taste just as amazing as I remember! The chicken is juicy, the marination is packed with flavor, and the batter has stayed perfectly consistent over the years. This was our first stop as soon as we arrived in Philly, and honestly, the traffic getting here was worth it. I didn't even get a chance to take pictures because we dove right in the moment they hit the table! Thank you again Soho for leaving such a lasting and delicious imprint on our bellies! read more

Food: 6/10 - my standard for Korean food is high, which is why this is on the lower rating side, nothing tasted bad, but it definitely was not authentic. For the value, $30 ddukbokki was kind of subpar. It was on the "soupier" side, a lot of vegetables, rice cakes were cooked evenly, a lot of cheese, a few pieces of odeng (fishcakes), overall didn't really have the authentic taste, but the soup itself was pretty rich flavor. The bulgogi kimbap was good, bulgogi was cooked nicely and they used fresh ingredients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere: 8/10 - this is like a Korean pub bar feel atmosphere, mostly come here to get wings and chicken, and beer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't say it's like a dinner place but portions are large enough for a full meal! Service: 10/10 there is a call button to bring your waiter or waitress to your table. Tips: There is free parking in the back and also a lot of free parking on the streets. Kind of felt unsafe parking my car there though. Not in the best neighborhood by Philly standards. Would I come back here again? Maybe for the chicken, but not if I'm craving Korean food. But also, Korean food in Philly is pretty lacking, so this place might be good for locals who just want something quick. read more

The best Korean fried chicken wings in town! Never disappointed me once. I always order their half and half with spicy sauce and soy garlic. Their wings are so delicious and crispy. This place is still on my top #1 list of best Korean fried chicken wings. No other places can beat this one yet in Philadelphia. Even when I order to go, their wings are still crispy and flavorful after I get home an hour later. You must try their Korean soju fruit drinks, especially pineapple soju. It is so good and refreshing. A must try! Service is excellent as always and they have plenty of seats available, because more people are coming for take out. The atmosphere is nice with Korean music videos are playing on their big screen TVs. Even though it takes me 40 minutes to get there, I still come back for their chicken. read more

Extra crispy wings. I like that the batter is not too thick on the wings and has a good crunch. Bulgogi kimbap tasted exactly as it's supposed to. We got half Korean seasoned and half sweet chili. Both flavors had a slight kick to it. The wings came with a side of pickled radish--their radish is on the sweeter side. read more

Only reviewing the wings: Lot of good flavor, but way too much breading. It's more breading than wing. If you're into wings, this spot isn't worth trying read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside there's a lot of seating with no wait so we sat down immediately upon arrival.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking isn't that great so we had to park in the back shopping bf center lot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Theres a tv with sports and one with K-pop music videos which me and my boyfriend found entertaining[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The chicken is really crispy and yummy, I personally like the soy a lot. The service was fast but I did have to ask multiple times for some things to be brought out. Otherwise great place to go for chicken. read more

I've had their chicken quite a few times and it is always good. I decided to try something else on their menu, I picked the shrimp fried rice. Now theirs were a little different from the regular Chinese shrimp fried. They put cheese in it! Yes you saw it Cheese, I'm not sure if this was a Korean cheese or something else. The was like a Mozzarella cheese and it had A very good cheese pull they all put egg in it. Not chopped up but a whole cooked in the middle of the rice. Picture a layer of rice then a layer of egg and cheese and another layer of rice. What I like is that they used a Styrofoam carryout container but they used aluminum foil in the container That's a plus for me. read more

Best wings! I was recommended to come here for the wings and was not disappointed. They had quick service and a decent selection of options. We were able to get some flavors/foods we never had before. The portion sizes are quite nice as well - nice for sharing.

Café Soho - Wings and bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Im a huge fan of Korean bbq and Korean fried chicken so had to try this place as many friends recommended it. When entering, the place is really neat and I also noticed many carry out orders going out consistently. I have to say the menu was pretty vast and they had a lot of unique items That sounded really good. This time we opted for some wings with soy garlic, fries, and the bulgogi dupbop. I have to say, the wings were big, very very crispy and juicy on the inside. The sauce was good, but I do prefer more sauce as it was just brushed on I guess. Definitely a pretty penny too as 10 wings are $20. The size does kind of make up for it though. The bulgogi dupbop was alright. For $18 I would've liked more beef. The bowl was big and there were a lot of veggies and a ton of rice. Flavor was ok, but I swear it was missing something. Definitely tasted fresweet and fresh. Side of fries was big and were cooked well. Its those thick cut fries that are tough to get right, but they came out crispy(as crispy as those kind of fries get) and with a big cup of ketchup. Service was pretty standard. Did notice a kid taking a pee right outside the window... was facing a car, stepped in it, then got in the car after(he was wearing flip flops). This did not add to the aesthetic. Overall, Id say this is a solid place to get Korean fried wings. There is a boneless option, but the menu says it was $30. The price point was really missing for me. Ive been to a ton of Korean places, but this just didn't hit and for the cost would've expected more. read more

Apologies, I will have to visit this establishment again and get pictures. I was so hungry I ate all the wings way too fast and forgot to take a photo of them. Parking in this area is not that tough. There's a parking lot around the corner on the same block! Lots of light as well so easy to see so you don't trip and fall while walking to the restaurant. I was the first to arrive in my group and I was met with a very kind front of house staff. Their shirts are cool! It's the demon slayer anime logo but it says wing slayer. The restaurant is in an older diner style with red upholstered booths everywhere, they do have regular tables and chairs too, and a ton of rooster statues. The bathroom is very clean. The staff is very busy but if you press the button at the end of the table someone will be there shortly to help you! My table ordered a large bone in chicken win plate that was half spicy, half soy garlic. The chicken wings looked oddly puffy (at first glance they look like the unseasoned chicken used in orange chicken at Chinese take out places) but after taking one bite I understood why. They were so crispy, the double fry method is king. The meat was super juicy too. I inhaled the wings. I would personally give these wings an 8.5/10 to 9/10. I drove across the mainline for 1.5 hours (202 to 309) during prime rush hour traffic to get here and I would do it again. They do have daikon radish on the side as well to help cleanse your palate if you need it. Very thoughtful. The watermelon soju cocktail arrived in a 1L pitcher and they provided shot glasses instead of cups. It's so delicious. It is like an Aqua Fresca but closer to a slushy smoothie. Very refreshing to contrast the savory and sweet fried chicken. I have to go again and get pictures of the chicken. read more

Don't eat chicken wings too often but heard this place is top tier, and it lives up to that. Probably some of the best made wings I've had, plus the sauces are amazing as well. Perfectly fried. They have boba slushees which are also great. Definitely go out of your way to come up to try their food. Lots of seating with good atmosphere inside, staff nice. It's a bit on the pricier side for a few things but we'll worth it. Overall great experience. read more

I definitely put this spot in the upper tier for Korean Fried chicken wings. The carry out orders were non stop which is a great indication of how good the wings are. The Kimchi fried rice was pretty darn good too. Pretty spicy, If your familiar with Jollof rice It has that level of kick to It. The bang bang shrimp was alright, not quite what I envisioned for bang bang. I'm just not use to seeing long shrimp like that lol. Nonetheless they were ok. I also got the chance to try Soju for the first time. Soju DEFINITELY packs a punch so make sure you got a plan to get home safely after. It does creep up on you. I sat down to eat and there were some gnats that were driving me crazy. Other than that my fiancé found a hair in her kimbap. That's no good either. Ultimately we had an ok experience, we will probably carry out next time though. read more

Can't believe I would find the best Korean fried chicken in the US in Philly. Dallas has pretty solid Korean food so I was really excited when someone told me this place has better KFC than Dallas. The only downside is they only have KFC tossed in sauces. I really like dry rubs on KFC so if they had that option this place would be perfect! We got soy garlic and the special sauce and they are both delicious. The chicken is so light and crispy - I didn't feel guilty or bloated at all after eating it. Special sauce was more on the sweeter side, the sprinkled white sesame seed on top was a nice plus. Soy garlic was also sweeter than expected but the strong garlic flavor was nice. If you get the large (18 pieces) I would recommend getting a savory & a sweet flavor so it balanced out or else it'll all taste too similar. *you can pick 2 flavor for the large order* Also it didn't take as long for us to get our food. I was nervous because I saw a lot of people saying it takes 45+ min. But I think if you dine in, the food comes out faster! read more

Café Soho - Soy Garlic & Special Sauce KFC (Korean fried chicken) - Korean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Sorry, Cafe Soho, but $20 for 10 wings is unacceptable. You raised your prices during the pandemic, but then you raised them again. I've been coming here for years, but the last time I was here(a couple of years ago) the wings had hardly any meat on them. Although I live three blocks away, I'd rather go to bb.q down the street @ More Food Court atop H Mart, save $6 and get a better quality product. read more

Hands down theeeeee best Korean fried chicken I've ever had. I usually get the large order, half soy and half spicy. Honestly I don't care about anything else on the menu besides the bone in chicken wings. I typically order for pick up but the few times I've dined in, the service was quite pleasant. There's K-pop videos playing and at times there's anime on the screen... it's fun. Highly recommend. read more

Cafe Soho Korean fried chicken wings never ceases to amaze me. Wings are super crispy and the sauces are full of flavor. We got Soy Garlic, Special, and Sweet Chili. The Spicy is very spicy, so opted out this time around. The Special was so good, but my favorite might be the Sweet Chili. It was sweet and spicy and had just enough kick to get the salivary glands working. Of note, historically you'd go in anticipating a long wait for their wings, but this recent visit did not take long at all. I would totally give this place a 5/5, but as we were being seated, there was a dead bug clear as day on the booth seat and the servers did not notice until we said something. read more

Appreciating the simple pleasures in life and for me that involves korean fried chicken! I just finished watching the hit korean drama from several years ago, Goblin (I know I am late but it was soo good!) and for those who know, Korean fried chicken Is mentioned throughout so I was craving it so badly! Covid pandemic had a lot of my favorite places closed. BBQ chicken in Hmart's food court is one of my faves but they were closed (I think they are open now until 6pm) but cafe soho was Open!! I have ordered twice now and appreciate their no contact pick up. You call to order ahead and can pick up at the store. Wings were large, well seasoned and extra crispy. Sauces were excellent! Had soy garlic and spicy. Sauce was not too sweet and wings were still juicy! Some places dry out the wings and the sauce is too sweet! Cafe Soho may be back to one of my KFC faves! Definitely give it a try! read more

It was a average dining experience here at Cafe Soho. I wouldn't say spectacular but pretty decent. Food was good and customer service was on point. Cafe soho seems to be a hip place for Korean fried chicken because it was packed to capacity and our wait time was like an hour for a table. They also don't do reservations womp womp. We ordered shrimp tempura sushi, duk bokki, bang bang shrimp and of course wings and fries. My fav was the bang bang shrimp it was crisp and packed with flavor. Fries were crispy and crunchy which is a plus and as far as the chicken, lets just say I had better at other Korean Fried Chicken spots. The food arrived hot, it did take awhile but the place was crowded so I can see why that would be the case. Overall prices were reasonable and it was a good time! read more

Been eating their wings for years no. Like literally 10+ years. Still taste as good as I remembered. This establishment was around before all the other Korean fried chicken places start popping up like the Bon chon and BBQ Chicken. It will get my vote as the best Korean friend chicken place in Philly. Always consistent and yummy. Note I had the wings via takeout but even than the wings were still crispy and yummy. read more

We are never disappointed when we have a meal at Soho! Their wings are so fresh, crispy, and just absolutely delicious! We get the 18 ct and split them right down the middle as I love flats and he likes drums. They are pretty spot on with giving you half and half of both. Today, we had the beef dumplings, which were really good. They had a nice crisp, and the filling was super flavorful. We had a side of rice, which was good too. If you didn't know, white rice can either be tasty or not be tasty alone without any spices or sauces and was just sticky enough. My only complaint was that the chopsticks they gave us were absolutely horrible. They were super cheap, cracked, and just horrible quality for a disposable stick. We will bring our own from now on. The staff was friendly and very attentive as they always are. We just really enjoy this restaurant! read more

I think this restaurant is a fine spot to eat for the most part. I think the food they served tasted really good for the most part. I had a chicken sandwich and some chicken wings which were both pretty good. I also had some fries which tasted pretty good, but their textures were a bit too rough in my opinion. The service was adequate and the people there were friendly, but I wished that they were a bit more proactive (ex. Making sure that the water was filled enough). Overall however, they still made me feel accommodated. Overall, I think this was a really nice spot to eat for the most part! read more

Yes, I drove two hours from NYC to get Korean fried chicken. It was that good. The place has a 45 minute wait after you make your order so don't forget to order ahead. I got a large order with seasoned and soy garlic. The seasoned one is pretty spicy yet seasoned well. The garlic soy was a bit more scrumptious in my opinion. They're only doing takeout for the time being. read more

We started with the Crabstick Kimbap which was really good. My fiancé was expecting it to taste like sushi which it does not. She was a little let down by them but I thought they were good. They then brought out the bang bang shrimp and the bulgogi fried rice. The bang bang shrimp was an appetizer but is definitely enough for a meal. The flavors on this shrimp were delicious. They were very breaded but were extremely well seasoned. The bulgogi fried rice was an entree but was enough for 2-3 people to eat. This was better than expected. It had vegetables and what seemed like a 2 egg omelette buried instead of it. The rice was also sprinkled with what seemed to be mozzarella cheese. I don't know if this is customary of Fried rice in Korean food but that was the first time I've had it like that. I loved it. Lastly, those wings mannnnnn. Them jawns were serious. Best Korean fried chicken wings I've ever had. Nuff said! read more

Best KFC wings I've had in the Philadelphia area. Went here after a glowing review from several experienced KFC eaters. Was not let down. There is a bit of a wait before you get the chicken (takeout or dine-in). It is worth it though. These wings come out piping hot with a solid crunch. Absolutely delicious. I prefer the soy garlic, but will have no issue finishing the seasoned off on my own. The seasoned wings have a great balance of a bit of spicy and sweet. The portions on the chicken were great. Got the soft shell crab kimbap--very good. The service is also fantastic very friendly waitstaff read more
