It was a trendy place. We came in during the afternoon lull. They have a small menu called Afternoon Snacks. Only about 6 or 8 items on it. We ordered the flounder tacos, wings, and the pork dumplings. The waiter was awesome! It's cool to know the backstory of the restaurant. They won the Food Truck show and used the earnings to open MOFU. Everything was tasty. The flounder tacos were a little bland. The fish needed some seasoning. Get both flavors of wings!
I recently visited MOFU Shoppe for my birthday for the second time. I was originally disappointed to see that the Beef Short Rib had been removed from the menu, but the Pork Belly Bowl entree made up for it! We also enjoyed the dumplings. MOFU has a great vibe, and the food is delicious. The drinks took a bit longer than expected to arrive, but this is a great place to eat in downtown Raleigh!
Great addition to the Downtown Raleigh food scene! We loved all of our dishes, especially the pork dumplings and the kimchi fried rice balls. We were disappointed they were out of the chicken entree when we had dinner there, and had to get more appetizers instead of an entree. Prices are a fairly high, but quality and creativity of the dishes is solid, and portions are pretty good sized. Love their story from the food truck days, and we had the kindest waitress who we loved!
neat, rustic place. nice bar with some upstairs dining. started with the pork dumplings and they were some of the best we have had. cooked to perfection. second course was the Brussel sprouts with bacon and a hint of something sweet (honey?). nicely done. lastly we had the curry mussels. they were big, juicy and tender. However, they did not warn of their heat--ours were really spicy. So spicy my friend could not eat them. I did but would have preferred a little less heat and i like some heat with my curry sauces. these were really hot. maybe it was just the batch we got, but if they are always like that, i suggest they note that on the menu. there were also several other things we would like to try off the menu and will return. very limited wine list
The pork belly bowl is very tasty. The pork is well cooked and melts in your mouth! Great job! I like the location and ambiance. Great staff and great service. There's plenty of room for small or large groups.
