Stumbled upon this place on a holiday when a lot of restaurants were closed. It is located in a…read morenice neighborhood and definitely feels like a welcoming place to eat or meet up with a friend. I saw a lot of kids walk in and families come in and out, suggesting to me that it really serves the neighborhood or community it is located in. That's a feeling I don't get at restaurants that often and I think is unique to this place because of its location. Enjoyed the flavors of the food much more than I anticipated. I particularly found the popcorn shrimp to be fried well, juicy, and have a lovely yuzu flavor. The rice to protein ratio for the Basil Rice was off but the flavor was delicious. The ramen was pleasant but not outstanding. Overall prices are on the higher side for what they serve. The service was satisfactory. Served well but the staff was not necessarily warm or friendly. Recommend it for a cute, casual date or family friendly spot!

Many mexican restaurants like to include their homemade nachos to get you started and it can leave an impression IMO. To be fair, both the cook and the waitress were new for our visit. That seems unfortunate but no harm and no foul other than 1 partially wrong order. I rate this 3 stars especially given the number of Mexican options in the area.

Y'all, my daughter and I have been looking at this place for a while and finally got there today…read more Oh, why oh, why did it take us so long? Obviously, this is our first time, but what we got was amazing. We each got one of the lunch specials. She got boneless wings with the seasoned fries, and I got the wings with the radish. I got the sauce that starts with a "y", and she got half Korean BBQ and half the "Y" sauce. She enjoyed both of the sauces, but liked the BBQ one best. She also ordered one of those Korean "corn dogs" with cinnamon sugar on it, and the Kewpie mayo. I wouldn't get the pickled radish again, it's not what I've eaten elsewhere, but who cares when the wings were so awesome.........amazing........I think young people say they are fire......and they were. The fries were crispy, the wings crispy and well-sauced.......................and I cannot wait to go again. To top it off, our server, Madden, was wonderful. Not named after those guys from the band, Good Charlotte, but after John Madden! Since I know it can be good, let it be known while there if it's not.......because I'm pretty sure they'll make it right.

So I dropped in for a lunch visit and wasn't disappointed AGAIN. I had the lunch special for two. It includes 1 Appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert for $39.99. We selected the pork potstickers, beef bulgolgi and Korean Bbq Fried Chicken (6 wings /3 legs) and. Korean donut. I washed it down with the Soju Mule. Everything was delicious per usual. Our waitress was super nice and gave us great recommendations as well which is always welcomed. I just really think it's pretty cool that they have a bar.

The BEST KFC in U.S…read more KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is THE soul food of Korea deeply rooted in korean culture. Grew up eating different style of KFC in Korea, California, HI. Other places tried in GA, NY and VA. And it is absolutely surprising that my #1 KFC is here in Raleigh. FYI, I met the owner - who cooks himself in the kitchen - states he fries the chicken himself due to quality control. He also trains and creates menu for other KFC place in LA That being said, KFC is absolute best here and I just can't believe it is here in NC. Food: they have pretty small menu and the reason is-- their specialty is KFC. I've tried their pork belly Ssam (korean wrap) and although it was good I have to say- I've had better in Ssam specialty restaurant. So let's talk about what I come here for. That's right. KFC. I do not do take out either. It's fried. You will get the best taste out of it straight out of the fryer to the plate. So I order , usually one plate of no sauce which is just battered and fried then another plate of soga (soy sauce garlic) sauce which is my very favorite: you can expect savory, salty, sweet with hint of mild spice. Once in a great while I would order traditional sauce if I'm in the mood for more spicy sauce. The chicken is very juice while the batter is so crispy. It is a must to drink beer with it (chi-mek) I usually order korean or asahi beer. Venue: this is not a typical look of KFC but it works. Pretty large to accommodate any occasions. They also have private room with karaoke for small party. They also recently added a corner with some korean grocery. Service: I see lots of turnover here as far as with servers as they are young man/women. But Dave who goes to Raleigh and also wake Forrest location is absolutely exceptional - and I was also grateful the owner came to our table to check up on us. Perhaps we went during off hour he was able to. Typically always busy here with customers and take outs. All in all.. here, the secret is out.

Been told that this place is soo good and been craving chicken wings. We ordered 6 pieces with the…read moreSoopreme sauce (with soga - soy and garlic- and old fashioned -spicy sauce- mixed in), and they were good. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in that sweet-spicy glaze that has depth of flavor. Messy in the best way possible. Unfortunately, chicken wings at Bonchon tasted much better for me. The cold bibimbap was refreshing and well-balanced -- fresh veggies and a nice chilled contrast to the hot wings. It felt light but still satisfying. I am not sure if the hot bibimbap would've tasted better. I was expecting more flavor, and more side dishes, being it a Korean restaurant. Service was good. We came for lunch on a Monday and there was only one other customer when we arrived.

Mofongo, meets sushi, meets Columbia, meets Peru! The Margarita flight for $22 (4 drinks - split $$11 pp) was a tasty and affordable option. However, the calorie counter in me is still in vexation mode. For the price, expect more sweet less tequila- but good nonetheless. I ordered the pineapple bowl with chicken. My friend - guacamole for appetizer, and crispy sushi rolls. Pros: waitstaff appropriately balanced attentiveness with privacy. Bathroom & dining area felt clean and tidy. Food temp and timing felt appropriate. Music sound at appropriate level. And last, but not least delicious food. Cons: Hard to read menu, hard to read menu, and lastly hard to read menu. Overall a good dining experience. I'm a bit of a rice snob, and I found the rice well cooked, only wish there was actual pineapple in the rice. At first inspection, I thought the chicken was bland and overcooked. However, when I tried the leftover chicken I think it was more rice to protein ratio. Good guacamole - bright & fresh. If you like a more pronounced presence of cumin or coriander you might be disappointed. Parking plentiful, and photo ops if that's your thing. At night, I believe there is a dj.

Her food was wrong the first time, there was miscommunication the second time, and then her food came out an hour total after we sat down because the kitchen was busy; and we saw others who sat down before us receive their food. There was an event tonight but there's an event every Wednesday and we were the second table to be seated. They only gave her 35% off her bill. I think the menu items could be explained better because it was hard to tell what the menu items consisted of; I had to find a pic from Instagram to show them what I wanted. Other than that, the drinks were delicious as well. They have nice indoor and outdoor decor. I'd return, just not on a night they have an event.

Not fresh at all. The green beans were a yellowish green which indicates they were old. Clearly this food had been made a long time ago. The price was average for the cuisine.

The owner/only person working was friendly as well, and told me I would like his chicken. I ordered the general tso chicken with fried rice and crab rangoon. My total was around $35 and the food was super hot and fresh and big enough to feed 2. The crab rangoons came in a bag of 6 and were crispy, big, and full of filling. They were so good and filling and honestly my favorite crab rangoon I've had from any spot around here. Each bite was great. The chicken was in fact so delicious and so tender. Each piece was good and there were no weird stringy or crusty pieces of chicken. The sauce was so flavorful and I loved the dish. 10/10 takeout!! Update: After finishing leftovers I can say this will be my new go-to takeout spot

"Social Media made me do it"…read more Fu Kee Express does a lot of things correctly. I visited during lunch hours, so I avoided long lines and dinner rush. Owner was personable, kind, and very nice. This is not a dine in restaurant - be prepared for takeout only. Prices are higher than typical. Food was solid. Egg rolls better than most and not greasy. Pork fried rice very, very good. Rice is yellow (perhaps food coloring?) and delicious. I typically order no egg, no peas, no carrots, and add bean sprouts. Disappointed they don't offer bean sprouts, but I'm also tempted to add veggies upon next visit. Overall, rice was delicious. My biggest letdown was garlic shrimp and veggies. Shrimp were large - but slightly overcooked. Veggies also overcooked. Flavor fell a tad bit flat. I'm guessing it was me, and perhaps I had a bad day (which, IMO, affects flavor). I would definitely try again if I'm in the area. Fast casual Chinese: 3.7
