    Lychee Margarita
    Sahib G.

    I been to Mofu Shoppe a couple of times over the years and never been disappointed. Their food is always flavorful and they frequently introduce new dishes. This time I tried the Braised Cumin Lamb that was just added to the menu. The lamb was very tender and flavorful. I love Bok Choy so that was a hit. We also got the Mofu Wings which were perfectly crispy. Just the way I like them. For my cocktail, I had their take on an Old Fashioned. It's was citrusy and had a unique flavor. I would get it again.

    first time coming in and the restaurant is beautiful. an upscale casual dining experience. the host was super friendly and led us to our table quickly. we did have a reservation too. we had a party of four and ordered a lot of food. first were the wings. they were glazed in a fish sauce based sauce. i'm vietnamese so i LOVE fish sauce and unfortunately, it didn't have a strong flavor of fish sauce. i understand it is a very powerful ingredient. but the wings were so crispy and juicy and the cilantro sauce on the side was great too. the pork and chive dumplings were pretty standard. nothing special. delicious nonetheless. mussels were great as well. the broth was a tom yum soup based. the fried chicken bucket was the same batter as the wings but came with breast meat too. it unfortunately wasn't anything that special. it was good and it said it was brined but i didn't taste any brine flavor in the meat. the side pickles were okay and the rice was cooked perfectly. also the bao buns that came with it were the perfect vehicle for the crispy chicken. overall, it was a good meal. it wasn't amazing but i still enjoyed my meal. the staff were friendly and helpful. i would come again in the future to try other items on their menu.

    Friday we had reservations for dinner here with family to celebrate our daughter's masters graduation from NCSU. We were a little late due to traffic and called to let them know. When we arrived they were so nice and didn't make us feel badly. Our waiter was awesome. He was funny and honest and suggested some really great things to try. We ordered it all. And then some. We had all of the dumplings. Not sure which was my favorite but I could not tell the beyond wasn't meat. So good. The white pepper chicken was really tasty but don't eat the red peppers if you're sensitive to heat. They are Fresno peppers and are en fuego. Brussels sprouts were fantastic! Interesting tofu puffs in there. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the tots. They got soggy too quickly. I had the cold brew martini because my jet lagged booty was lagging. It was perfection. We tried the lychee margarita, the aperol things, the spritz, and a few different beers. All good. Our waiter remained awesome throughout our whole drawn out evening. I hope we can visit another time we are in Raleigh. Parking is a little difficult on weekends.

    I had heard really great things about MOFU Shoppe, so I was really excited to try it. It's in a fun spot in downtown Raleigh. I would say it's perfect for a work dinner or a date night. It's got a cool, industrial vibe. We got seated without a reservation, but I'd say there's a decent amount of tables in the downstairs area and in the upstairs loft. The service was great, and our server was really nice and helpful. The menu is small, with a few appetizers, entrees, and dumplings. They also sell cocktails, which were Asian inspired. We ordered the wings, noodles, and a rice dish. I will say that the portions were pretty sizeable. My complaint about MOFU is that the taste of the dishes were inconsistent. While we loved the wings, we felt that the noodle dish was not that tasty. It was mostly just paste and noodles. Overall, I'd say there are some standout dishes that we liked here, but unfortunately we had some that really let us down.

    we were going to a show nearby and wanted a good place for dinner with friends so decided to try MOFU. It's an asian-fusion restaurant with small plates and mains - we each got a couple of different things to try. most were good, some were alright. we got the kimchi tots, the mofu seasonal salad, the pork belly, the wings, beef tartare, and the beef noodle soup. we also got drinks. standouts were the salad, the wings, and the pork belly. the tots were alright and the noodle soup was not good. drinks were good and the service was great

    Mofu Wings

    Decent Asian option downtown. The menu is what initially drew me in for the uniqueness of some dishes. The inside is really nice, decor isn't the cheesy "asian inspired" randomness, but more of a nice modern touch of Asia. Started off with the Mofu Wings with the nuoc mam sauce - the chicken was fried nicely but the nuoc mam was too sweet opposed to the anticipated prevalence of fish sauce flavor. Also ordered the Minced Pork Stir Fry with the canton noodles - reminded me of a Dan Dan inspired dish but the meat was different, in a good way. The only gripe was it was too salty. Overall, service was good and was fun to see they were hosted what looked like a dinner club or something while we were dining there. Would come back and try other dishes.

    BEEF BULGOGI DUMPLINGS

    On a busy first Friday night in downtown Raleigh, we decided to have dinner at Mofu Shoppe! There was a 35-40 minute wait for a table for 2 (we didn't make a reservation), so we opted to sit at the last 2 seats at the bar! It took a little time for one of the awesome bar tenders to wait on us, but it's understandable for a super busy Friday night. It's a super cute vibe. There's even a little upstairs balcony looking seating area. I really liked the vibe here. The service was pretty good to top it off! My daughter had been here before and surprisingly it was my first time. Since she had decided to come here again, I let her order. She ordered us several shareable to share :) The Beef Bulgogi Dumplings were absolutely amazing. It came with an even more yummy kimchi bbq sauce for dipping. The Kimchi tots were amazing, such an amazing flavor profile. On to the Mofu Wings, they have a few flavors, we ordered the Thai Chili, soooo delicious. And lastly the Crispy Brussels w/ Fried Tofu. The Brussels were delicious. I was literally dancing in my seat the food was so good. If you know me, I hardly ever give 5's. I give glowing 4's, but 5's are rare. I'll be dreaming about this food until I go back next.

    La comida esta buena el servicio super bueno, el ambiente bien cómodo y relax, buen sitio para tener un par de bebidas y comer. Lo unico que muchas de las fotos de comida ya no tienen lo mismo el menu es un poco mas pequeño y un poco over price.

    I was excited to try Mofu Shoppe since I heard some good things about it plus they won The Great Food Truck Race a few years ago. It has a casual industrial vibe with an expansive bar. The setting is perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. Cocktails were excellent. The lychee margarita was amazing. I forget what the other drink's called but it had mango purée, sake & coconut. It tasted just like mango sticky rice! Mofu wings & pork & chive dumplings were pretty good. Braised cumin lamb shank was fork tender and well seasoned. The collards that came as a side were phenomenal! I could eat bowls of that. My entree, the Thai Red Squash Curry was a bit too salty. It probably would been better if the rice was served separately instead of in the same bowl. Service was just ok...not very attentive since our server disappeared for a while & didn't refill our water. I'd definitely come back just for the drinks & the collards!

    Thai Basil Noodles *Vegan/Vegetarian*
    Vraj P.

    My friends and I made reservations for this place after hearing lots of great things about it. We got the kimchi tots to share and I got the Thai Basil Noodles for myself. The tots were absolutely wonderful and a great flavor profile between 2 different cuisines. The Thai Basil Noodles were okay. Definitely lacked spice but can always ask for chili oil or siracha on the side. My friends got the dumplings but you only get 5 for $12 which we did not think were worth it especially after trying them since they were not anything special. I'm inside atmosphere was really cool. Lots of open space and a good bar as well as a good drink selection. Staff was friendly as well and pretty helpful. Prices were decently priced except for the dumplings. Overall, a good location and pretty decent food. Will likely come back one day if there are new vegetarian options added to the menu.

    PORK & CHIVE DUMPLINGS
    Amanda K.

    I have been to mofu before and had a fine experience, but my time here the other night was an all-around great experience. I saw multiple reviews beforehand about a certain server but didn't think much of it. Halfway through the meal, my family was talking about how great the service was, and thats when I realized we had Drew, the server so many others had wrote about! I thought that was funny. Although it's too late to get it, one of my favorite dishes we got was their state fair special of a corn dog banh mi. It was so innovative and thematic (not to mention delicious). We got a lot to share, and I don't think their was a single bad dish. The lowest on my list, however would be the noodles. I felt it didn't have as much flavor as I wanted. I really loved the curry but it is definitely spicy so beware of that. They also had some gluten free options, but I wouldn't suggest being gluten free here simply because it would be too sad to watch others eating cute little dumplings. I went on a Saturday night and it wasn't crazy busy when we first got there around 6, but it picked up a little later. I would recommend having reservations to be safe. Thats what I did. Closing statement : come here with a group of people and share a bunch of food so you can try everything!

    Pork belly BAO BUNS
    Alec L.

    Everything was delicious! We ordered both version of dumplings and wife and I couldn't decide which one we liked more. Also ordered the pork belly bao buns and both agreed was one of the best we had. Pork belly was super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The entrees were very good. Shaved beef noodles were tender and flavorful and wife loved her fried rice. Good amount of spice but not over powering. Definitely coming back here!

    Twice-Cooked Pork Belly  Fried Chicken & Ginger Wontons (5 Count) Pork and Chive Dumplings (5 Count) Beef Bulgogi Dumplings (5 Count)
    Jess L.

    YES finally a dumpling spot you can count on! You will not regret going here, getting a ton of stuff, splitting it, and leaving full. Pretty much everything we had was incredible but make sure to get the twice cooked pork belly - TRULY insane, I am still thinking about it. Sweet, crispy, buttery, GET IT. We got all the dumplings with protein and I loved them all. The chicken and ginger is a wonton so it's crispy fried and crunchy, incredible. The pork and chive have a great sauce and was so savory. My fave was the bulgogi but I mean bulgogi is just an unfair comparison. GET TO MOFU AND THANK ME LATER!

I am compelled to remind every resident and every visitor to make this a "must go to and enjoy" place for either brunch on Saturday or Sunday, or for dinner any night of the week. Go for the amazing cuisine, vast wine list, and stay for the outstanding service! Recently, we have found ourselves trying not to enjoy just our go-to favorites that are mainstays on the ever-evolving menu. We have been blown away by the flavors of the large plate option called Chicken Pimientos. Don't let the name throw you, because it's not super spicy, it just has a nice kick to it with delicious potatoes accompanying the very moist and flavorful chicken. The way the kitchen team at Barcelona handles the preparation of the eggplant caponata is impressive and very unique. Other favorites on the tapas section of the menu recently are stuffed piquillos, corn zucchini bunuelos (think fair food turned healthy!), Wagyu carpaccio, lamb kofta, and pulpo gallego. Remember that their tapas offerings rotate in and out, oftentimes based on the season and availability of fresh products. The wine offerings are unparalleled in the city of Raleigh, and when you visit for dinner on a Monday evening, every bottle is half-priced. Can't beat that for a way to jump-start your work week! We tend to sit at the bar on most visits as bartenders Kira and Cameron truly handle their bar with a welcoming vibe and impressive ease. General manager Jed is a visible leader of this great team and makes every guest feel appreciated. Awesome job all the way around!

We dined at their lovely bar back in the first months of their opening, and it was good. We had met the general manager, Red, and were impressed with the flavors of our one appetizer, Calabrian Chicken, yet we never rushed back. Now, we feel compelled to return ASAP to enjoy these exceptional flavors, fabulous teamwork system of service, and a comfortable chic atmosphere. The place was happening at 5:45 pm on our recent dining night out with friends. Grateful to have a reservation we were seated at a very comfortable banquette type of seating. It felt like dining in a friend's home. Our server, William, is excellent at his job. Very efficient, great input on food choices, and quite personable. The meal started off with a burst of flavor as we enjoyed their fairly new offering of a ceviche called Eye of the Tiger that featured a sauce you can never get enough of. Wish their bread service was a bit more inspired, but the Le Farm bread did soak up some of the various sauces sent out from a very inspired kitchen team. Food runners help make certain the tapas come out fresh and hot when needed. They are a friendly group of hospitality workers who seem to genuinely enjoy their work and treat their guests with sincere appreciation. It all starts at the top, and GM Red is a personable and sound leader. We loved the Chef's pasta, our octopus dish was stellar, the Calabrian Chicken almost stole the show, but the unctuous flavors on the plate of the Seared Halloumi was hands down my favorite. I love how this culinary team can crank out such outstanding flavors table to table and patron to patron without missing a beat. The energy in the room must feed their souls & for that we are grateful. Lastly I wish to mention the thoughtfully curated wine list where my husband discovered a treasure of a wine from the Familia Torres brand. It was exquisite and paired perfectly with Madre's flavors. Our friend who frequent their bar often rave about their Mezcal margarita! Another visit. See you soon Madre familia!

Good service in a surprisingly well decorated atmosphere, I would come back to Flour & Barrel for more Italian goodness! The Deets: I wanted to catch up with a friend over a weekday lunch and we scoped out Flour & Barrel in DTR to do just that. When entering in from the pretty nondescript exterior/entrance on the corner of North and Harrington Streets, it becomes a colorful well decorated bistro/bar type feeling inside which is welcoming. We were shown to our table next to one of the wide windows facing North St, I liked this table with lots of natural light and yes, I am a people watcher as well. The server took our drink orders and asked if we had any questions about the menu. The lunch menu is pretty succinct but well represented, offering focaccia sandwiches (sandos), small pastas (pasta handmade in-house), and salads. It also has a wine and craft beer selection also if needed. My friend went with the Chicken Parmesan Focaccia Sando (has pomodoro, mozzarella, and basil) with Kardashian Chopped Salad (made with romaine, salami, provolone, piquillo peppers, artichoke, and garbanzo) for a side while I chose the Radiatore small pasta selection. The Radiatore is described on the menu as "our version of carbonara but creamier / guanciale / egg" so naturally it caught my eye. I am usually pretty cut and dry about wanting carbonara to be the traditional type but since they stated upfront that this is their version, I was willing to give it a go. I am glad I did, as this pasta dish was great. The serving was the perfect size for lunch, plus I was able to add chicken to it as well. The sauce was creamy and delicious, going well with the al dente pasta. This meal was most satisfying and I would love to get this one again in the future. My friend really enjoyed the sando so much, he had originally planned to eat half and take the other half home...that didn't work out the way he planned as he devoured the whole sandwich there, it was that good. He also enjoyed the salad as well. Our server did well checking on us and making sure we had what we needed. I am so glad we decided to try out Flour & Barrel for lunch, it worked out perfectly and was a very enjoyable meal.

Unfortunately, the experience started off badly and only got more frustrating. Our reservation was for 7:15 PM, and although we were running a little late because it was pouring rain, we called ahead and were told our reservation would still be held. When we arrived, we were told to wait for a table to become available. This was already a little frustrating because there was an entire row of tables visibly unoccupied. After waiting 30 minutes, we were still sitting at the bar with no updates. At that point, it started feeling really disorganized. As more time passed, my friends went up to the hostess stand multiple times trying to get answers about what was going on, but the hostesses were rude and not helpful at all. By the time we were finally seated, 1 hour and 15 minutes had passed after our reservation time, which is honestly unacceptable when you have a reservation. At that point, we were considering just leaving. The service once seated was also not great. The food was okay, but definitely not enough to make up for the poor experience overall. If a restaurant has such limited space, I don't think they should overbook reservations if they can't actually seat guests close to their reserved time. No one wants to wait over an hour after making a reservation, especially for a special occasion like a birthday. I really hope management sees this and improves their reservation system and customer service, because this was a disappointing way to spend a birthday celebration.

The service was quick, attentive, and friendly, with the staff making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. If you're looking to try delicious Laotian cuisine or simply want an incredible meal in Cary, I highly recommend giving SAAP a visit. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    We celebrated a special occasion with a phenomenal meal at Saap. For an appetizer, we tried the…read morenightly small plate special, two steamed rice paper wrappers filled with ground pork with a mildly sweet sauce, to start the meal. It was very, very good and started our meal off on a high note. For entrees, my dining companion had the pork collar and I chose the Khao Poon Gai. The pork collar was absolutely phenomenal with a deep marinated flavor and perfect char, while my dish was incredibly flavorful from the coconut broth and the grilled chicken. I got to sample the pork collar and will order it the next time we're here. Dessert was a bit of a letdown. We split the carrot cake and found it OK, at best. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't at the same level as the rest of our meal. I would not order this again. Service was outstanding. Our server was friendly, helpful, and clearly knowledgeable about the menu. The kitchen turned over our orders very quickly. Combined with the great service, the tastefully decorated modern dining room made our meal memorable. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

    I do not frequent restaurants on Glenwood Ave often, but as a picky pescetarian/vegetarian/vegan…read morereviewer, I had to try this new Vegan spot. You may have been to its sister restaurant, Element Gastropub before. This restaurant is located in the Glenwood south neighborhood. There are several garages nearby and street parking. The decor lends itself to a botanical theme which is on brand for a vegan restaurant with its floral murals and hanging plants. The bar has beautiful emerald green tile and comfortable brown upholstered stools. Brass and bronze accents are appreciated throughout the space also. The owner stated the color palate was inspired by the Wizard of Oz. They have an extensive craft cocktail menu. We ordered the Tropic ozz and Blue dream. Neither disappointed on depth of flavor. For meals, we ordered the Whiskey cola rib plate and the Sriracha hunee chikn. The rib plate did not disappoint. The rib had the texture of a tender steak and the BBQ sauce was just enough to not take over the dish. The squash pickles have a bit of kick, but was not overpowering. The potato salad had a great balance of mustard and vegan mayo. The Sriracha dish was also delicious, but could have used more sauce which the owner happily supplied. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The menu offers enough even for indecisive eaters and everything that we ordered was delicious. The food was filling. The only downside was that we came on a Saturday night and there was only one waiter. Despite being the only front house staff, he maintained a positive attitude and gave great service. We were seated and attended to quickly.

To my delight (and theirs!), no one was disappointed as the food arrived. The restaurant wasn't overly packed, and the staff was excellent, offering great suggestions. I ended up ordering the chicken and waffles, which were absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!
