Food was just okay. We tried multiple dishes for take out and the group consensus was unanimous; we were either not overly impressed or have had it better elsewhere. Also, not a great value for money. I feel like I spent a lot and got very little in return both in the amount and quality of food. The sides were the best part. Really really good kimchi. Other than that, very mid. read more

Decent takeout made quickly. The place is pretty empty/ part grocery and part restaurant. The bulgogi was good, rice was good and the right consistency. read more

Soo Cafe comes to Wake Forest! Have been to the Raleigh location many times, so it's nice to have this spot closer to home. The same high quality, the same taste, even better service. Korean Fried Chicken, with SOGA (soy sauce and garlic) is the way to go. I prefer the boneless dark meat so I don't have to fight with the bones in the wings, but any way you like it, the chicken is the bomb. The coating is super crunchy, the meat is tender and moist and the sauce is phenomenal. Pro tip - save some white rice to mix in with the leftover SOGA. YUM! Also tried bulgogi and bulgogi bibimbap. Both dishes can be prepared to a desired spice level. Bulgogi is thinly sliced and wonderfully marinated (I chose beef) and then stir fried with veggies. It's sweet and savory. Bibimbap is a rice bowl; stir fried veggies, a protein (again I chose beef) served over rice with gochujang. It's spicy but delicious. Welcome to Wake Forest, Soo. I know I'll be back! read more

Went back tonight for wings and bibimbap. I got the Soga sauce and pork bulgogi on the rice. Ate the wings before I got home, was worth burning my young because they were hot and fresh out of the fryer read more

I really wish this chain was like how it used to be, and my husband and I had high hopes since we both used to love it back when it was near NC State. Our waitress was very nice, so it wasn't service that we were disappointed in, but the food. We have had Korean fried chicken in many restaurants throughout the triangle, and this had to be amongst one of the more disappointing ones. It first took almost 45 minutes of waiting for our food to arrive, and when it did arrive, only one out of our two plates actually looked like it was prepared with actual sauce. We had ordered a #3 small and #4 small with Soopreme sauce, which is where it is to be double fried with 2 types of sauces. One looked like it was prepared accurately, which tasted alright, but the other was just sad. It was so sad I started laughing at how they tried to pass this off as double fried with 2 sauces. If you take a look at the photos I took, you can see that the pieces of chicken were not even dipped in the sauce. Rather, they drizzled some sauce over it and it barely covered the pieces of chicken. I've had enough Korean fried chicken to know what it should look and taste like, and this ain't it. Hate to say it, but I don't think I will return to Soo Cafe. There are plenty of better KFC places in the triangle that did not require 45 minutes of wait for something this laughable. read more

Wow, it's so great to have this place so close to home! A very nice remodel was done of the interior, very clean and nicely decorated. Our server, Payton, was fantastic, one of the best servers I've seen in a while. Food was also stellar. Wings were crunchy and flavorful, we chose sauce number one. Bulgogi and Kalbi were served on sizzling platters, very good quality meat with great seasoning. The small sides served with the two platters were all very tasty. Definitely a place we will come back to! read more

The food was absolutely delicious!! I woke up and thought about the meal immediately, and then was sad we had no leftovers. Yes, I would eaten their beef bulgogi at 6 AM for breakfast Can't wait to go back! Server was nice and attentive. The inside is cute. I hope they do well at this new location!! read more

My vegetarian bibimbap was served in a small cast iron skillet (what, why?) and it included canned mushrooms and broccoli. My ban chan was one small plastic cup with three slices of cucumber topped with a sauce. If I wanted kimchi I needed to pay extra. My husband had Korean wings that he had to dip in a sauce he had never tasted before and he didn't care for. Why weren't they slathered in a recognizable hot sauce since we said we wanted them hot? The rating is because the waitress was very attentive and very nice, even bringing me a plate to put the egg on from the bibimbap after I specifically ordered it without egg. The decor was nice and the restaurant was clean. At 12:30 in the afternoon we were the only guests. read more

Ordered the hotdog, kimbap, and wings. I have to say, I have been looking for a good korean place down here for a while and was hoping this was the place. Sadly, I just don't feel the price matches the quality of the food. The kimbap was alright, but it is something that would be much cheaper to make at home. Also, the rolls fell apart within the same day of ordering them. The hot dog was fine, but it would be so much cheaper to make it at home. The wings were the highlight, the pricing was reasonable and they were fried well. Overall, even the wings wouldn't compel me to come back. The search for a good Korean spot continues. read more

New to the area, this gem is literally right around the corner from us. Only had takeout wings and they were phenomenal! 1st introduced to Korean fried chicken back in Boston, so glad there is a tasty source here so close! The manager/proprietor very welcoming, and we are anxious to have our first sit-down meal at the eatery, which is warm and inviting. So excited to experience their Bibimbab and grill items, in addition to other enticing menu items - will share once we've done so! read more

So glad that Soo Cafe is now in Wake Forest!! My daughter and I love to shop the grocery area while we wait for our food. Can't go wrong with the wings (love the soy garlic sauce!) and the bulgogi. Super convenient to order online for pickup. read more

Stopped in because I was curious about what the new Korean restaurant in Wake Forest was like. This place looks great. On top of being a restaurant it's also got a Korean convenience store with spicy ramen, Korean snacks and deserts and even some ingredients for cooking Korean yourself. We tried the corn dogs and can highly recommend them. Our server was a gem, extremely friendly and attentive and we even got to speak to one of the chefs. We will definitely be back to check out the rest of the menu. read more

Ordered bibimbap and dark meat fried chicken. One of the better bibimbap in RTP area, their gochujang is balanced and not one dimensional like others. Protein was bulgogi, very well marinated. This came is a hot skillet. One thing that came be improved is the amount of oil on the bottom can be reduced. Greasy however, still the best bibimbap in this area thus far. KFC: Very juicy and with a great crust. This is not your twice fried chicken but still very well executed. However, the SOGA glaze is too sweet and not balanced with soy sauce and there is definitely no garlic. Overall, 3.5 stars...we will be back to try other things on the menu read more

The food is amazing and the service is great. Finally something different in wake forest. Definitely will be back. read more

A wonderful new gem in Wake Forest! Went to the Raleigh location in the past and loved it, and am very pleased that they opened up their 2nd location in Wake Forest. New and nicely decorated interior. Don't be surprised by the small Korean snack shop at the entrance, the restaurant is straight ahead. The best Korean fried chicken you can get in the area - the meat stays succulent and juicy, the SOGA (soy garlic) sauce is super tasty while the outer batter remains wonderfully crispy. Kimchi is fresh and spicy. Will definitely be back to support them. read more

Absolutely incredible food. Consistently delicious. The new location also has cool Korean convenience store things you can buy, and awesome k-pop on the tv. read more

Soo glad we tried Soo Cafe! We were intrigued with the 'corn dog with sugar' that is not a corn dog, but was delicious.

I was really excited to get another Korean restaurant in Wake Forest; however, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment. The prices were a little high, which is not so bad if there is a good portion of food, but it was not. Additionally, the food was not that great. My Ramyeon was mushy and bland. On the positive side, the service was great. read more

Thank god for this place! 1st amazing Asian style restaurant in wake forest that i am actually excited about!! Wow wow . Cant wait to go back. Won't disappoint!! read more

I love Korean food, and my meal here did not disappoint. I ordered the bibimbab with beef and it was delicious. It was a very large serving and I just could not stop eating it. The service was good and quick. The decor was nice-- everything looked new and clean, with comfortable chairs. They are a new establishment and I don't think everyone knows about them yet. It's in the parking lot with Big Lots and KFC on Capital near the Durham exit. Give them a try! read more

So good! Eat here, you will not be disappointed. Bulgogi was delicious. Fried chicken was out of this world.
