Soo Cafe Bringing Authentic Korean Dishes to Raleigh

Soo Cafe in Raleigh, NC

Dish:  Korean Fried Chicken- Soga and Original

Critique:  What exactly is Korean Fried Chicken?  Its Five-Star fried chicken with a special Korean sauce.  We tried both the Soga and Original sauce.  The Hotness preferred the Soga (Soy-Garlic) over the original sweet and spicy sauce.  We’re not sure how Soo Café prepares these wings but it should be a crime.  Each piece of chicken was moist, delicious, and served piping hot.  Raleigh- You’ve been forewarned!   These sizzling flavors will overtake you!  No wonder that it made Southern Living Magazine best fried chicken list.

Score: 4 out of 4 Hotties!






Dish:  Angus Beef Galbi

Critique:  The Galbi- grilled short ribs marinated in soy sauce is far different than typical North Carolina barbeque.  Accompanied by steamed white rice, the meat was soft and tender with very little fat.  If you’re a fan of Korean BBQ, you’ll love the Beef Galbi.

Score:  3 out of 4 Hotties!






Dish:  Spicy Chicken Bulgogi

Critique:  Feeling adventurous?  Well the Bulgogi has your name written all over it.  Grilled chicken breast, marinated in Korean hot pepper paste with mixed vegetables.  Spicy, but not too spicy- bold, but not too bold- tasty, but oh Soo tasty!  Don’t be afraid of the Bulgogi, it’s worth it!

Score: 3 out of 4 Hotties!






Dish:  Angus Beef Bulgogi

Critique:  Very thin slices of beef marinated in Soo Café’s house soy sauce.  This dish didn’t have the pizzazz of the spicy chicken bulgogi and needed some type of sauce to assist it like the Korean hot pepper sauce.  Also, all Soo Café’s dishes are served with plain white rice- we would like to see delicious fried rice as another side option.

Score: 2 ½ out of 4 Hotties!
