The first time I went a month or two ago by myself and the lady working was kind. I met I think her husband too and he was also very kind, especially when I spoke a little Korean. The food was really good, just a bit overpriced. The second time I went with my family, 7 people and the lady sighed as soon as we walked in. I wasn 't sure if she remembered me but she sat us at a table for 6 and pulled another chair, which wasn 't enough room for us so my dad pulled a table from the table of 8 to ours. The lady got a bit upset (saying she was worried a bigger group would come for lunchtime) though understandable as we didn 't ask to move the table. She then said it was fine when she saw I was str...
I would give this place 5 stars if I could, but happycow does not allow it for places that are not fully vegetarian. The menu has a clearly marked vegetarian section and all items should be vegan, but if it comes with egg, you can ask to omit it. The bibimbap was amazing (just make sure to specify that you want the vegetarian option), but my favorite dish was the mandu (dumplings)!!! Eating them was a truly incredible experience and I feel like a changed person after trying them. The banchan (side dishes that come with every meal for free) was a delightful way to immerse myself in Korean culture; the pickled vegetables were my favorite part! I am looking forward to coming back to try more di...
Atmosphere wasn’t that of a 5 star dining experience, but you’re not going to Sole Cafe for that. You’re going to Sole Cafe for the amazing, top tier, home cooked Korean food. This restaurant is definitely one of, if not the best, Korean restaurant in the twin cities. Do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal. We met the owners briefly, who happen to be an elderly couple. They’re both extremely kind, very friendly, and love their customers. Please be kind to them, as they’re very good people.
This restaurant is a true hidden gem! The food is incredibly delicious and authentic. It is owned by a delightful elderly Korean couple who are attentive and treat their customers well. Make sure to communicate your spice preferences to them so they can adjust the level accordingly. They frequently checked on us and kept our drinks and sides refilled. Our dining experience was fantastic. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious! The tteokbokki was a particular favorite.

A small restaurant, close to 20 per person. The taste is average, just pure spiciness without aroma or layering. And as a service industry, no matter what happens privately, at least you have a good attitude on the surface, right? Are you obviously a little impatient with us, and do you think we don’t understand what Xiba means? I originally wanted to give it two stars. Since we are both Asians, I will add one star for friendship.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of vegetarian dishes that can be easily modified to be vegan. The staff is well-informed about vegan options and accommodated my request to have the scallion pancake made without animal products. Don't forget to specify that you want veg side dishes with your entree. Each dish we tried was flavorful and satisfying, and I definitely plan on returning for more.
We made it clear that we do not eat eggs or fish sauce. The owner/waitress seemed irritated and proudly told us that she doesn't use fish sauce, but then brought out Bibimbap with egg on top and kimchi with fish sauce.
The food at this restaurant is delicious and the service is great. It is one of the most authentic Korean meals you can find in town. There is both street and lot parking available behind the restaurant.

Genuinely one of the best meals I have ever had. Highly recommend, and the service was great!
This food is so good! A perfect, cozy hole-in-the wall stop for authentic Korean cuisine.
