The wings with the original/Soga sauce and the short ribs order were both AMAZINGLY delicious! The food is a little pricey, but for us it was worth every single penny. We'll definitely be back.
Service was also great.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 10, 2024
Chicken batter is crispyyy. Their batter exterior is different than most places. It's more like a shell than a batter.. it's very light, but crisp.. it stays crispy until the next day. The hot and spicy has heat, and the Soo special is a ginger/five spice sort of flavor which I'm not used to in Korean food, although good, and not overpowering.
Their bibimbap is good as well, but they do not have ban chan, fyi.Helpful 1Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 0 - 150129Dec 23, 2023
I mostly came here to try the Korean fried chicken wings and I wasn't disappointed! The flavor of the sauce was unique and unlike anything I've ever had before. They were crispy too! The bulgogi was just okay - edible, but not great. And also came in a very small portion in my opinion. I'd still come here again to try some other menu items, specifically some kimchi since I didn't try any this time!
Otherwise, the service was good and the inside was nice! It was pretty empty on a weekday for dinner. I hope more people can start comingHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 8, 2024
Went with a group of 15 for lunch. They were expecting us and were able to take our orders, serve us, and let us pay in one hour. Amazing for such a large group. The chicken tenders were delicious. Great crunch and a tad spicy. Kimchi was quite good. This is not a fancy place, but it was clean and the food was hot and tasty. I need to try something else to determine if this should be 5 stars, not 4, and plan to be back soon.

I got a takeout order of 6 wings with sauce on the side and an order of pork bibimbap. The food was fine but nothing remarkable. In my opinion it was overpriced. Even though I didn't get served at a table, I give a tip for takeout because the staff still has to get my order right and pack everything up for the trip home. The bill with tax and tip was right at $40. To some this may be very reasonable and I admit I have perpetual sticker shock at food prices these days.

Best Korean fried chicken and all of the triangle. My wife is Korean and from LA and she said "this is just like k-town in LA." Just order the fried chicken baby, you'll do yourself a big favor and grab some Soju.

I had korean fried chicken wings. The chicken was very fresh and fried to perfection. I got the generic soy sauce and another spicy sauce on the side and dipped my chicken in the sauces since it was my first time trying the chicken, first time eating here. Food was amazing and the service was great. The staff were very very very nice. They let me know it would be a wait time bc the place was pretty busy. I got my food to go but would definitely come back to dine in.

So this place was recommended by my friend. She's been coming here a long time! And she raved about the chicken.
We got there when they opened around 11am. Service was great, but the place also wasn't very busy. They did have a lot of pick up orders. I also saw that they had karaoke rooms! Back in college we had places like this! So glad to know of somewhere in Raleigh!
I got the chicken tenders but I got my sauce on the side because I wanted to share with my son. It was crunchy and juicy! The house sauce (soy garlic) was good but I think I'd prefer to get a spicy sauce next time.
I also got the Samgyeopsal. It had onions and garlic with it. It comes with your sesame oil and salt and pepper, the bean curd sauce, and a a sweet/vinegar dipping sauce. I had to ask for gochujung. The pork belly was sliced nice and thin. They only gave me 3-4 Romain lettuce leaves. It wasn't enough to wrap all my meat, so I ate the remaining meat with the rice I still had. I had a great experience and I would definitely come again.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sam G.NC, NC7301121Feb 3, 2024Updated review
THE BEST Chicken Wings I've ever had. Hands down! Also David is very friendly and I think at this point he's memorized just about everything we want to eat. If you can find better in Raleigh I want to know about it.

One of my favorite restaurants in the triangle! As a vegetarian, I always get the vegetarian hot bibimbap. My friends will always get one of their wings with varying sauces. Overall, the bibimbap I get does not look like anything special, but for some reason always tastes better than any other place I've had it. Only downside is that the dish and wings have definitely gotten smaller likely due to "shrinkflation" but I would say it is still worth it.
The location is a strip mall in Raleigh. Looks empty from the outside but very spacious on the inside. Usually not too busy and the one person running it is always very friendly and helpful. If it is busy you may have to wait but I would say it is worth it. Prices are average and not too expensive.
Overall, one of my favorites over the years and glad to see it is still open! Would recommend.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1
