    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
    Will R.

    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
    Jaime S.

    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!

The extra secret, private room is located upstairs in The Big Easy, down a back hallway through an ominous door labeled "staff only". This isn't a space that you can just walk into (now that you know where it's located), rather it's a private venue space, charging $300/6 hours on Fridays and Saturdays with a $500 minimum bar tab and $100/6 hours Sunday-Thursday with a $300 minimum bar tab. The small space includes a New Orleans voodoo theme complete with voodoo dolls and bare breasted fortune tellers (in photos). Your party is invited to enjoy the velvet couches and hairs artfully placed around the room and has access to a private bar (and bartender). I love the back wall, with photo windows viewing Salisbury Street and a huge wooden bench seat. Rebecca and her husband Steve, the owners of The Big Easy, created this space to throw a rocking New Years Eve party, and they're inviting locals to use it during the year. Rebecca hired a fortune teller for our VIP night, but options are practically unlimited for what you want to bring in (bachelorette party strippers?!) The room is pricy to rent, but the intention is to get in a "classier" group of people that will keep the space up (however, there's definitely room for a dance party in the room, think old Bee Hive tightness). The best part: that VIP feeling as you are personally led up to the room by a manager, it was VERY speakeasy and secretive!

The drinks are exceptionally good, and the spirits menu is creative. They also offer a few small plates. There is plenty of paved parking immediately next to the hotel for guests only, so that is not a hassle as it can be at some B&B/inn-type establishments. At check-in, you are offered a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to set the tone. The rooms are comfortable, but I will say that the entry-level ones are quite small (which is apparent on the website), but for the rates charged there isn't even a place to sit and read a book other than the bed. There's one small, delicate wicker chair that would be for tying shoes or whatever, but not lounging. The bed is luxuriously dressed, and there is drawer space and a minifridge, but no closet -- hanging items can go on hooks by the door out in the open. The bathroom is spacious enough, with a broad sink and elegant tilework. The lighting fixtures throughout are nifty. I found the breakfast sort of average for this type of place. I came later on, so perhaps there is more earlier, but there were a few pastries, some hard-boiled eggs, and fruit when I arrived. There's also a fancy coffee-drink contraption, but those aren't my thing so I left that alone. It's a very easy walk across the Boylan Bridge and down a couple of blocks to the area of the Dillon with several restaurants, and the performing arts center is not far beyond that. Location-wise, there's plenty that's walkable but also more an easy drive away.
