"House of Soul" has been serving the City of Vallejo and the SF Bay Area since 1968. Any…read morerestaurant that has made it this long must have the winning formula of good food, service and value. I was in the Vallejo area, and saw House of Soul on Yelp. It was 1.5 miles away, but closing in less than an hour. I decided to go by and see it they were still serving. I wasn't really expecting much 45 mins before closing. I parked right in front, and saw they were cleaning up the dining room. So I asked the young lady if they were still open, and she said "Yes, c'mon in!" I ordered the fried chicken combo meal with mac 'n cheese and green beans. Total was $20.04. I thought it was funny that they price it at $20.04. It would actually look better if it was $19.99. How was the food? I was surprised. 35 mins before closing, and the fried chicken was still moist with a spicy heat to the flavor. The skin was lightly crisp. The mac 'n cheese was creamy. The green beans were just okay. The food was being kept in warmers. There's nothing wrong with keeping food in warmers as long as holding times are observed and proper temps are maintained. As I left both the young lady and the server thanked me for coming. Next time, I will have to return at around dinner time. Support Local Business in the SF Bay Area!

I don't think it's on their take-out menu, but somehow I was able to locate it. Imagine lean, tender short ribs simmered in a clear broth, served with clear noodles. No need to spruce it up, as it is already flavored perfectly. I would say, it's the closest thing to homemade, without being homemade. The only downside is if you order on Door Dash, they don't tell you that the restaurant closes from 4pm to 4:30pm. But having had to wait outside in the cold, only made the soup that much better.

Tried the Crispy Padak Chicken wings ($37 for full portion of 20 wings, with pickled radish side…read moreincluded). The wings were fried to perfection where the outside was crispy but the inside was so juicy and tender. But I didn't care for the glaze (which I believe is their "garlic soy glaze"), because it had a strong mustard flavor, which I totally didn't expect from the name. I was really expecting a savory and garlicky soy sauce flavor that would be balanced with a hint of sweetness. So the mustard flavor really took me by surprise and I wasn't a fan - If I had known they used mustard in that glaze, I wouldn't have ordered it. Service was nice and quite fast. I liked how after we placed our order, they pre-warned us that it might take them 20 mins to prepare the wings, although it turned out to be faster than 20 mins, which we appreciated :) The restaurant looks small from the outside but is so spacious on the inside. the restaurant was clean and organized.

A Vallejo gem for potlucks!…read more Bestie and I got some of their fried chicken and chow main for a party and the chicken was the star of the show. Crispy, salty with dark meat - YUM. Chow mien could've used some TLC but Small tray runs around $50-$60 and their service was pretty fast for walk in orders. Just waited 10 min for 2 heaping portions of small trays. Also tried their potstickers and love how they're handmade with dough. They were a nice snack as we waited for the rest of the order. Free parking and takeout only!

I would have like it to have a little more flavor in the mix a little more black pepper could have given it that extra pinch of flavor. But overall it was cooked to perfection and not oily at all. They were super friendly and took my order right away. I got the combo plate half and half with beef and broccoli and spicy chicken. It's your little hole in the wall joint that has good size servings when you want quick cheap Chinese. I want to try the walnut shrimp next time. I had my husband and baby waiting for me in the car so I only got what they had available. Definitely would try it again if I'm back in the area.

I didn't feel like cooking, so Korean fried chicken takeout it was! This isn't our first time…read moreeating here, but this place is so good that I think it's finally time for me to leave a review. You can either dine inside or order takeout. The dining area is pretty small, so it seems better suited for smaller groups. Every time I come here it's the same guy is working at the front. He's always welcoming, greets you with a smile, and just has a really good attitude. Great customer service every time! For this visit, we ordered the Soy Garlic Wings, Magic Sprinkle Shrimp, Chicken Fried Rice, and fried tempura. Everything was GOOD! The Soy Garlic Wings are some nice, beefy wings! The soy garlic flavor is wonderful, and I love how the sauce coats the chicken perfectly without being too much. This was my first time trying the Magic Sprinkle chicken wings and I really enjoyed it. The seasoning has a little sweetness to it, which I wasn't expecting, but I didn't have a problem with it at all. The shrimp were also amazing I especially liked that the fried rice came with an egg, kimchi, and some glass noodles on the side. That was a nice touch and made the meal feel like you were getting a little bit of everything. Overall, this place is wonderful. If you ever have a taste for wings, shrimp, and fried rice, this place definitely hits the spot. Whether you're grabbing takeout or eating inside, it's worth checking out! I think next time my girl and I will dine in

Just about everything here is made to order (fish, wings, pretty much the whole menu), so patience is part of the deal when ordering at the counter. If you're in a hurry, calling ahead or using DoorDash is always an option. For lunch, I ordered a 2-piece catfish with collard greens and candied yams to dine in, plus a chicken wing and fish combo with fries to go. One thing I really appreciated was that they didn't fry the to-go order at the same time as my dine-in meal. That meant everything was piping hot and fresh when I walked out the door. The catfish is my usual go-to and it never disappoints -- perfectly fried, well seasoned, and consistent every time. The kind of seasoning that makes you feel like someone's uncle back there is cooking from the soul. The collard greens are tender, flavorful, and always hit the spot. And the candied yams? Honestly more like dessert than a side -- sweet, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. Yes, it can feel a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and flavor make it worth it.

Everything was cold and the fillets looked identical in both orders and they were not labeled.

And no corn bread after we asked for it in our order instead 2 slices of bread one for each order we could not make a fish sandwich with that . Im not sure wat the hype is about this place being fresh and hot we didn't experience anything like it i guess . I don't think ill be back .
