BuKu Wake Forest - Permanently Closed - Bijgewerkt 2026, Mondiale restaurant in Wake Forest, NC

Over dit restaurant

Welcome to bu•ku, where Wake Forest meets global street food.

Located in the heart of Wake Forest, the new bu•ku will delight your senses just like our flagship establishment in downtown Raleigh.

Inspired by the pushcarts of street vendors in cities across the globe, we harvest an array of unique and distinct flavors and present them authentically in a virtual kaleidoscope of plates. The common link being, these are foods that people love. Working within different regional traditions, our menu brings together complex and flavorful dishes that have been honed over generations. These are foods that have been shared and developed in their communities for hundreds of years. At bu•ku, we strive to convey the immediate thrill a traveler feels as these foods first cross over the cart and exchange hands into the urban setting. Our Global Street Food menu is a new type of dining, designed for the type of mix & match tasting and plate-sharing that sparks conversation
