Sole Cafe - St Paul

There is a large vegetarian menu with options that can be made easily vegan. The staff is knowledgeable about veganism, and they even made the scalion pancakes without animal products for me on request. If you get an entree, you will also receive ancillary dishes, so make sure you also like Veg ancillary dishes. All we had was delicious and I'll be back for more!

If I could give this place 5 stars, I would, but happycow does not allow it for places that are not completely veg. The menu has a clearly marked vegetarian section and all elements should be vegan when it comes with egg, you should be able to leave the egg. The Bibimbop was fantastic (make sure you want the vegetarian), but my favorite is the mandu (pumps)!!! The food was a religious experience and I am still not the same person I was before the attempt. The Banchan (Nebengerichte, comes with every meal free) was a fun way to experience Korean culture; the well-maintained vegetables was my favorite part! I can't wait to try more dishes again, especially the Japchae and the Ttukbokee!

Best Korean food in Minnesota. I haven't been here for about 5 years, but it still is one of my favorites to go to. The owners are also absolutely adorable ?. The two pictures are after we ate most of our food, my apologies lol. We got haemul pajeon, kimchi jjigae, dolsot bibimbap, and some mackerel (not pictured because we inhaled it). I think my favorite was the mackarel! Crispy and salty ?. Kimchi jjigae with pork belly was amazing, probably one of the more flavorful ones I have had. It has a nice spice to it but the broth was really warming. Really needed that for the cold day. The pajeon was nice and crispy. The chunks of seafood was bite size (sometimes I get it and there's just like a giant hunk of something in there). Bibimbap was crispy and delicious! Sauce went well with it. We almost did not finish it... There was so much food!! Everything was delicious... I can't wait to come back here more often ???

Wonderful! Large portions, dumplings were actually top notch, and bulgogi was done well and fast. The side dishes were also tasty and just the right amount of spice! Also, the man and lady who run the place are very friendly and homey, you can tell it's their passion. Also they mostly speak Korean but of course English is good as well. Highly recommend trying this place out, it's really good

While I liked my dish which is spicy stir fried calamari with vegetables, my husband didn?t like his bibimbap. Honestly we had better. However, this is a nice small place, with reasonable pricing, but not a place we will go back for more. Banchans were okay. Service was good.
