Cafe Soho

The BEST CHICKEN EVERRRRRR!!!!! I absolutely LOVE this place! It is WAYYYY better than Bonchon! I wish they had a location in Chinatown in Philly. Their chicken is so crispy and flavorful I can never get tired of the chicken here. Not only is the chicken delicious but their fried rice is to die for! My fav part of the fried rice is the melted cheese in the middle omggg. The fried rice + chicken combo is a chefs kiss!!! Their tteokbokki rice cakes are sooo good too. If you never tried it I def recommend trying it here. They have plenty more food here but these are my top 3! I love how this place also serves alcohol. Def give it a try!!!

The best Korean fried chicken wings in town! Never disappointed me once. I always order their half and half with spicy sauce and soy garlic. Their wings are so delicious and crispy. This place is still on my top #1 list of best Korean fried chicken wings. No other places can beat this one yet in Philadelphia. Even when I order to go, their wings are still crispy and flavorful after I get home an hour later. You must try their Korean soju fruit drinks, especially pineapple soju. It is so good and refreshing. A must try! Service is excellent as always and they have plenty of seats available, because more people are coming for take out. The atmosphere is nice with Korean music videos are playing on their big screen TVs. Even though it takes me 40 minutes to get there, I still come back for their chicken.

My buddy had been raving about their wings for months and we finally found some time to go. He was definitely right! These wings are the real deal. Great flavor, lot of meat on the bone, and aren't too hot. The seafood pancake was a great appetitzer to prep us for the wings. Friendly and helpful staff made our time there even easier. Will be back here in the future

The absolute BEST chicken anywhere in the world!!! Juicy full chicken wings, in a crispy shell, covered in delicious sauce! I can't say enough about how I love it here. And their mango smoothie tastes like ice cream. I got some to go for the drive. Worth every penny. I come here on special occasions or whenever I need a reminder of what the absolute best chicken tastes like. Oh, they also have great Korean food too... LoL

Best place in Philly to have wings and foods! Our server was very nice and sweet! Always have been my favorite and will definitely return!

I've never eaten at the restaurant, only ordered their chicken wings for pickup and when I tell you their chicken is worth the wait and the money, I mean it!!! We used to live closer, so Cafe Soho has become a rarer treat, but we had some friends coming over and I decided I only wanted to make sides, not mains. Cafe Soho to the rescue! We got a large order of the Soy Garlic and a small order of the Special. In hindsight, we could easily have gotten a large order of each, but the sweet, savory flavor profile of the Special was a crowd favorite. My godson, who is particular (read: picky) about his food was about ready to marry his Special chicken wings, and even bargained with his mom for hers. Imagine most versions of General Tso sauce, but with a decidedly more sophisticated and umami flavor profile, and you'll get close to what the Special tastes like, while leaving room to be pleasantly surprised. I opted for the simpler, equally satisfying Soy Garlic for the bulk of my meal, and was not disappointed. Give me garlic anything and I'm happy, but slather that on well seasoned, properly cooked chicken wings?? Oh, I'm ecstatic. Their chicken wings are tender and juicy on the inside, while being crispy and satisfyingly toothsome on the outside. They have a nice variety of flavors in addition to the ones I mention here, and I think they'd suit most everyone's taste buds. I haven't tried the rest of their menu, but will eventually because I'm a fan of Korean foods and flavors. I'll be a repeat customer as long as the quality of their food remains the same, and hopefully next time, it will be as a sit in customer on date night with hubby!

I have dined in & ordered out always enjoyed the food. Staff is great portions are good . Drinks are good as well.

Yes it’s a bit pricey but the quality is excellent. Their korean fried chicken is some of the best in the area, especially the soy garlic and spicy. Fried rice comes in large portions with lots of meat + egg + cheese mixed in. The place looks really cool inside with lots of TVs and overall kept clean. Service was solid.

Great chicken wings, probably, the best wings I have tried! Price is a little high, but the food is very good! Good ambiance with K-Pop music in the background! I'll be back!

I've had their chicken quite a few times and it is always good. I decided to try something else on their menu, I picked the shrimp fried rice. Now theirs were a little different from the regular Chinese shrimp fried. They put cheese in it! Yes you saw it Cheese, I'm not sure if this was a Korean cheese or something else. The was like a Mozzarella cheese and it had A very good cheese pull they all put egg in it. Not chopped up but a whole cooked in the middle of the rice. Picture a layer of rice then a layer of egg and cheese and another layer of rice. What I like is that they used a Styrofoam carryout container but they used aluminum foil in the container That's a plus for me.

The best Korean fried chicken wings in town! Never disappointed me once. I always order their half and half with spicy sauce and soy garlic. Their wings are so delicious and crispy. This place is still on my top #1 list of best Korean fried chicken wings. No other places can beat this one yet in Philadelphia.

Apologies, I will have to visit this establishment again and get pictures. I was so hungry I ate all the wings way too fast and forgot to take a photo of them. Parking in this area is not that tough. There's a parking lot around the corner on the same block! Lots of light as well so easy to see so you don't trip and fall while walking to the restaurant. I was the first to arrive in my group and I was met with a very kind front of house staff. Their shirts are cool! It's the demon slayer anime logo but it says wing slayer. The restaurant is in an older diner style with red upholstered booths everywhere, they do have regular tables and chairs too, and a ton of rooster statues. The bathroom is very clean. The staff is very busy but if you press the button at the end of the table someone will be there shortly to help you! My table ordered a large bone in chicken win plate that was half spicy, half soy garlic. The chicken wings looked oddly puffy (at first glance they look like the unseasoned chicken used in orange chicken at Chinese take out places) but after taking one bite I understood why. They were so crispy, the double fry method is king. The meat was super juicy too. I inhaled the wings. I would personally give these wings an 8.5/10 to 9/10. I drove across the mainline for 1.5 hours (202 to 309) during prime rush hour traffic to get here and I would do it again. They do have daikon radish on the side as well to help cleanse your palate if you need it. Very thoughtful. The watermelon soju cocktail arrived in a 1L pitcher and they provided shot glasses instead of cups. It's so delicious. It is like an Aqua Fresca but closer to a slushy smoothie. Very refreshing to contrast the savory and sweet fried chicken. I have to go again and get pictures of the chicken.

Couldn't figure out the parking in the rear. The food was okay. Was there when there were no other customers and the service was okay. Payment by touchscreen. Although I don't t know why I was asked to tip on a pick up order

Extra crispy wings. I like that the batter is not too thick on the wings and has a good crunch. Bulgogi kimbap tasted exactly as it's supposed to. We got half Korean seasoned and half sweet chili. Both flavors had a slight kick to it. The wings came with a side of pickled radish--their radish is on the sweeter side.

Hands down theeeeee best Korean fried chicken I've ever had. I usually get the large order, half soy and half spicy. Honestly I don't care about anything else on the menu besides the bone in chicken wings. I typically order for pick up but the few times I've dined in, the service was quite pleasant. There's K-pop videos playing and at times there's anime on the screen... it's fun. Highly recommend.

Best wings! I was recommended to come here for the wings and was not disappointed. They had quick service and a decent selection of options. We were able to get some flavors/foods we never had before. The portion sizes are quite nice as well - nice for sharing. There were tv's on in the background with some k-pop and a sports game which was fun as well.

Sorry, Cafe Soho, but $20 for 10 wings is unacceptable. You raised your prices during the pandemic, but then you raised them again. I've been coming here for years, but the last time I was here(a couple of years ago) the wings had hardly any meat on them. Although I live three blocks away, I'd rather go to bb.q down the street @ More Food Court atop H Mart, save $6 and get a better quality product.

Don't eat chicken wings too often but heard this place is top tier, and it lives up to that. Probably some of the best made wings I've had, plus the sauces are amazing as well. Perfectly fried. They have boba slushees which are also great. Definitely go out of your way to come up to try their food. Lots of seating with good atmosphere inside, staff nice. It's a bit on the pricier side for a few things but we'll worth it. Overall great experience.

I think they provided the best service. The food was good. The kimbap was delicious. This is the best spot for a hang out spot. Highly recommend everyone to try it out.

Im a huge fan of Korean bbq and Korean fried chicken so had to try this place as many friends recommended it. When entering, the place is really neat and I also noticed many carry out orders going out consistently. I have to say the menu was pretty vast and they had a lot of unique items That sounded really good. This time we opted for some wings with soy garlic, fries, and the bulgogi dupbop. I have to say, the wings were big, very very crispy and juicy on the inside. The sauce was good, but I do prefer more sauce as it was just brushed on I guess. Definitely a pretty penny too as 10 wings are $20. The size does kind of make up for it though. The bulgogi dupbop was alright. For $18 I would've liked more beef. The bowl was big and there were a lot of veggies and a ton of rice. Flavor was ok, but I swear it was missing something. Definitely tasted fresweet and fresh. Side of fries was big and were cooked well. Its those thick cut fries that are tough to get right, but they came out crispy(as crispy as those kind of fries get) and with a big cup of ketchup. Service was pretty standard. Did notice a kid taking a pee right outside the window... was facing a car, stepped in it, then got in the car after(he was wearing flip flops). This did not add to the aesthetic. Overall, Id say this is a solid place to get Korean fried wings. There is a boneless option, but the menu says it was $30. The price point was really missing for me. Ive been to a ton of Korean places, but this just didn't hit and for the cost would've expected more.

No frills Korean fried chicken spot in North Philly. Really fast and friendly service, you could always ring the bell if you need it iykyk. The chicken lives up to the hype that my friends built up, might be the best Korean fried chicken wings I've ever had. The crunch is insane, they don't skimp on the sauce, and the soy garlic is a great balance to the spicy. Pork belly fried rice with cheese and rice cakes with fried dumplings with cheese work way better than I'd imagine . I'd come back for the chicken alone.

It's been almost 8 years since I discovered this place and still the best fried chicken I've had to this day... I have tried Korean wings from all over the country, NY or LA, even in Korea and this still ranks #1 for me. It's a must try.

Errthing was fantastic!! The service was great, the foid was outstanding and it wasn't a very long waiting time for the food to come out. My family was very pleased with everything!!

High quality staff, food, and ambience. They really take care of you and make sure the order is correct. I highly recommend this place.

Best KFC wings I've had in the Philadelphia area. Went here after a glowing review from several experienced KFC eaters. Was not let down. There is a bit of a wait before you get the chicken (takeout or dine-in). It is worth it though. These wings come out piping hot with a solid crunch. Absolutely delicious. I prefer the soy garlic, but will have no issue finishing the seasoned off on my own. The seasoned wings have a great balance of a bit of spicy and sweet. The portions on the chicken were great. Got the soft shell crab kimbap--very good. The service is also fantastic very friendly waitstaff

Wings are awesome. Price is way too high. Ever since covid I can't afford the food. Maybe again one day

I think this restaurant is a fine spot to eat for the most part. I think the food they served tasted really good for the most part. I had a chicken sandwich and some chicken wings which were both pretty good. I also had some fries which tasted pretty good, but their textures were a bit too rough in my opinion. The service was adequate and the people there were friendly, but I wished that they were a bit more proactive (ex. Making sure that the water was filled enough). Overall however, they still made me feel accommodated. Overall, I think this was a really nice spot to eat for the most part!

Food prices have dramatically increased the last 4 years. Although price increases during COVID were justified, having wings cost almost $2 per wing is insane. With everything on the menu having increased prices, ordering a rice cake with large wings runs you $60 before tip. Service was absolutely slow and the only time the servers came around was when you pressed the call button even though the place was not busy at all. Most likely the last time I come back to Soho.

Cafe Soho Korean fried chicken wings never ceases to amaze me. Wings are super crispy and the sauces are full of flavor. We got Soy Garlic, Special, and Sweet Chili. The Spicy is very spicy, so opted out this time around. The Special was so good, but my favorite might be the Sweet Chili. It was sweet and spicy and had just enough kick to get the salivary glands working. Of note, historically you'd go in anticipating a long wait for their wings, but this recent visit did not take long at all. I would totally give this place a 5/5, but as we were being seated, there was a dead bug clear as day on the booth seat and the servers did not notice until we said something.

Been eating their wings for years no. Like literally 10+ years. Still taste as good as I remembered. This establishment was around before all the other Korean fried chicken places start popping up like the Bon chon and BBQ Chicken. It will get my vote as the best Korean friend chicken place in Philly. Always consistent and yummy. Note I had the wings via takeout but even than the wings were still crispy and yummy.

$36 for 18 wings... man.. I understood when prices rose because of Covid & increase cost of wings, but the price still is going up now? Food is great, but I'll rather go to HMart or Mr. Andy's in Jenkintown for good wings at a fraction of that price. Sadly, Cafe SoHo won't ever be the same again.

It was really good , will definitely be back. Service was good too and ambient was good

Can't believe I would find the best Korean fried chicken in the US in Philly. Dallas has pretty solid Korean food so I was really excited when someone told me this place has better KFC than Dallas. The only downside is they only have KFC tossed in sauces. I really like dry rubs on KFC so if they had that option this place would be perfect! We got soy garlic and the special sauce and they are both delicious. The chicken is so light and crispy - I didn't feel guilty or bloated at all after eating it. Special sauce was more on the sweeter side, the sprinkled white sesame seed on top was a nice plus. Soy garlic was also sweeter than expected but the strong garlic flavor was nice. If you get the large (18 pieces) I would recommend getting a savory & a sweet flavor so it balanced out or else it'll all taste too similar. *you can pick 2 flavor for the large order* Also it didn't take as long for us to get our food. I was nervous because I saw a lot of people saying it takes 45+ min. But I think if you dine in, the food comes out faster!

We are never disappointed when we have a meal at Soho! Their wings are so fresh, crispy, and just absolutely delicious! We get the 18 ct and split them right down the middle as I love flats and he likes drums. They are pretty spot on with giving you half and half of both. Today, we had the beef dumplings, which were really good. They had a nice crisp, and the filling was super flavorful. We had a side of rice, which was good too. If you didn't know, white rice can either be tasty or not be tasty alone without any spices or sauces and was just sticky enough. My only complaint was that the chopsticks they gave us were absolutely horrible. They were super cheap, cracked, and just horrible quality for a disposable stick. We will bring our own from now on. The staff was friendly and very attentive as they always are. We just really enjoy this restaurant!

The soy garlic was fantastic. The "special" was pretty good. At $35 and change for 18 wings, this is a once in a while treat for me

Always a great spot for korean fried chicken, soy garlic is my personal fav. Chicken is crunchy and flavorful, some places have really soft radish but soho always have those crunchy fresh pickle radish which I really like. Great price and a good hangout spot.

The food there was good but not so much the service by the manager. We asked if we can switch to a booth because it wasn't comfortable, the seats were too high so that makes the table too low especially for my husband that is taller.. She said that there's nomore and the inner room is for 6 and over guest. What a lie because there was 2 parties of 4 like ours in that inner section. Just disappointed that we was lied to and when I asked the cashier she said because the party of 4 was suppose to be 5, another lie because the corner booth wouldn't be able to fit a 5th person and also with the other table that has 4 ppl. If they can accommodate them they could have accommodated us. I get it if it was all packed but this happened right after we asked. Next time say you have a party of 5 or 6 even if you only have 4.

Soy Garlic chicken flavor is delicious! I've been here a few years ago and didn't like it, but it has had a lot of improvement in the flavor and portion size. Service is pretty quick and ambiance is pretty normal.

This is indeed 80% love at first sight! My friend and I took chicken home for dinner and it was so delicious. If you crave fried chicken, go again

Soho has the best wings in the east coast. I've had PLENTY of korean wing places from DC to Fort Lee to NYC, but nothing ever beats soho wings. Their wings are so crispy! I've been going here for as long as I can remember. I remember having to wait a long time years ago but now the wings come out very fast.

Best. Wings. Ever. Seriously, you can't beat the frunch and flavor of the wings here. Just too good. They never disappoint. The soju drinks in the watermelon or pineapple are also unique and great for groups.

Great Korean wings. Soy garlic and sweet chili are my favorite sauces. Very expensive for wings. Long wait time for pickup. Usually worth the wait.

This place has yummy, tasty, wings. We have ordered a couple of times for parties and the are always a hit.

I definitely put this spot in the upper tier for Korean Fried chicken wings. The carry out orders were non stop which is a great indication of how good the wings are. The Kimchi fried rice was pretty darn good too. Pretty spicy, If your familiar with Jollof rice It has that level of kick to It. The bang bang shrimp was alright, not quite what I envisioned for bang bang. I'm just not use to seeing long shrimp like that lol. Nonetheless they were ok. I also got the chance to try Soju for the first time. Soju DEFINITELY packs a punch so make sure you got a plan to get home safely after. It does creep up on you. I sat down to eat and there were some gnats that were driving me crazy. Other than that my fiancé found a hair in her kimbap. That's no good either. Ultimately we had an ok experience, we will probably carry out next time though.

Chicken is really good. But I will say, the wait for the chicken is a little crazy. Nice environment.

Besides the fact that the food is delicious, the chefs and workers obviously put pride into the food. Been in this neighborhood for close to 40 years, just wish I tried you guys sooner.

My favorite place for fried chicken in Philadelphia. Unbelievably tasty & unbelievably crunchy. A little pricey but it's worth every single penny. The soy garlic & sweet chili are truly top tier sauces that only add amazing flavor to the best wings in the city! The spicy & special are really good too, just be ready to sweat a little. The bang bang shrimp was excellent, very flavorful. The kimchi kimbap & bulgogi kimbap are really good as well. & I'm big a fan of the beef fried dumplings. The service is always great. Very chill & relaxing atmosphere depending on the day & time you visit. There are also times when it is packed & hectic as well. & the food is consistently amazing in both situations. If you like chicken wings & you're visiting Philadelphia or you live in Philly do yourself & your taste buds a favor & pay this place a visit. If you dine in ask for Earl. He's the best server I've ever had there.

The wings are the reason for the season. If I am in charge of wings I head to Cafe Soho. They are pricey but so worth it. They also have very traditional and not so traditional Asian menu items that are delicious. If you are I. The area or don't mind traveling a little bit to see what the fuss is about.

Food was delicious! One of my favorite fried chicken places :) got the large half soy garlic half spicy. Chicken was extra crunchy and the spice creeps up on you! Service was fast too.

Appreciating the simple pleasures in life and for me that involves korean fried chicken! I just finished watching the hit korean drama from several years ago, Goblin (I know I am late but it was soo good!) and for those who know, Korean fried chicken Is mentioned throughout so I was craving it so badly! Covid pandemic had a lot of my favorite places closed. BBQ chicken in Hmart's food court is one of my faves but they were closed (I think they are open now until 6pm) but cafe soho was Open!! I have ordered twice now and appreciate their no contact pick up. You call to order ahead and can pick up at the store. Wings were large, well seasoned and extra crispy. Sauces were excellent! Had soy garlic and spicy. Sauce was not too sweet and wings were still juicy! Some places dry out the wings and the sauce is too sweet! Cafe Soho may be back to one of my KFC faves! Definitely give it a try!

service is slow we ordered soft drink and food 30 min ago its like we weren't there Not comíng back

This is one of my favorite Korean places in the area! Parking is a little tough but there is usually some street parking available. Their tteokbokki is delicious, and the portion is HUGE. The fried chicken is crispy and flavorful every time. There are little buttons on the table where you can call over your waiter, ask for the check, etc, and they are always helpful. Only knock is that on some crowded nights, it can take a while for the food to be ready. Would definitely come here again!

Greeting!! One word- Fabulous! I've not been here in YEARS! But when I went, YUMMY!!! Great ambiance, relaxing and the food was delicious!

Fantastic food and drinks. Definitely worth it. The fried chicken was extremely fresh chicken and absolutely not heavy. Tried their spicy, soy garlic and seasoned flavors. Their fresh fruit soju's were also amazing.

Fried chicken is AMAZING!!!!the best!!!!! Service is friendly. Just need to wait like 30mins to get the food. Atmosphere is warm.

We started with the Crabstick Kimbap which was really good. My fiancé was expecting it to taste like sushi which it does not. She was a little let down by them but I thought they were good. They then brought out the bang bang shrimp and the bulgogi fried rice. The bang bang shrimp was an appetizer but is definitely enough for a meal. The flavors on this shrimp were delicious. They were very breaded but were extremely well seasoned. The bulgogi fried rice was an entree but was enough for 2-3 people to eat. This was better than expected. It had vegetables and what seemed like a 2 egg omelette buried instead of it. The rice was also sprinkled with what seemed to be mozzarella cheese. I don't know if this is customary of Fried rice in Korean food but that was the first time I've had it like that. I loved it. Lastly, those wings mannnnnn. Them jawns were serious. Best Korean fried chicken wings I've ever had. Nuff said!

Great tasting wings, some of the best I've had in Philly. Watch out for their spicy wings though as they're legit spicy! A bit on the pricey end but the service and large venue make up for it with the positive experience
