Best chicken sandwich on island. Get the sauce on the side and drizzle it over the burger as you eat it. That way, it's still super crispy!

I catch the bus very frequently everyday and I always pass by this place so I finally went here on a rainy day after getting my ears pierced that's adjacent to the Ink Pit. From reading some reviews it may take awhile to cook so I made sure to call in 20 minutes in advance to avoid the long wait. Even though I was the only person there and finished my ear piercing appointment, I still waited 5minutes more for it to come out. I think I came around here 530pm. I assume it takes awhile to cook since they're making everything from scratch from making the batter to running around Kalihi catching the chickens to ensure quality meat haha jk maybe.. I finally got my order of my 6pcs Yang Nyeom chicken and side order of 4pcs gimmari. They also included a free side order of pickled radish. Gimmari- Tempura battered japchae noodles wrapped with seaweed Yang Nyeom chicken wings- Ketchup, gochujang, other spices for sauce coating It was hard for me to describe what the Yang Nyeom chicken wings tasted like so I had to look it up on the internet. There is an mild or spicy option so I picked mild and it tastes sweet! But the chicken skin coating was a bit like a doughy crunch, maybe it got very soggy from my long one hour bus ride home. I air fried it but it was still kinda doughy. The doughiness is why I gave this place 4/5 stars but would try again another time and maybe eat over there to change my rating. The gimmari, I would most definitely eat as a bored snack. I was surpised I actually got a little bit full from it, maybe because of the batter and noodles that its tricking my brain for it to be a meal. Really enjoyed the gimmari and would come by to buy it again but would order the 8pcs than 4 pcs. Would recommend you guys to try this place out! read more

Family Combo $38.95 25 pieces, 2/sides, 2 Flavors, 2 Drinks we ordered Extra Sides: Fries, Mandoo and Corn Mac Salad Called in order, Order was ready when we arrived. Super friendly & helpful staff. Everything we ordered was delicious. Chicken was crispy with the right amount of sauce (note: Wasabi Mayo sauce is served on the side VS the Yang Nyeom Sauce was on the chicken which didn't affect the crisp) Their French fries were so yummy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Gunnar I was very interesting and yummy. The Crispy Fried Rice cake is tossed in the Yang Nyeom Sauce. Again the sauce does not affect the crisp of the rice cake. FYI, if you do not like bell peppers, do not order the Corn Mac Salad. It has a very strong bell pepper flavor. I liked it, but I like bell peppers. As for the mandoo, I don't think it's home made, it's okay, but I don't think I'd be ordering it again. Parking was a little difficult, thankfully 2 of us, one jumped out to pick up the order. Highly recommended read more

Located on Dillingham Blvd. at Kokea St. Is part of Bliss Lounge. Order window is right off the sidewalk. Parking is private lot & free. You can order from the window and eat inside Bliss, or go into Bliss, order and eat there. Today we ordered several different items. Chicken sandwich combo, Original fried chicken, Honey chicken, Chi-bob, wasabi mayo chicken, fries and pickled radish. The chicken sandwich: chicken breast piece was all white meat, nicely seasoned with an asia slaw on a sweet bun. Very nice. A Original fried chicken was great. Nice big wing pieces, cooked to perfection. So crispy and juicy. The Honey Chicken was seasoned with a shoyu honey sauce that was just out of this world. A The french fries are seasoned and cooked to a crispy outside, soft and fluffy state inside. So good. A The Chi-bob was humungous! A very generous serving of boneless fried chicken atop a bed of white rice and drizzled with a mayo shoyu sauce. It was so tasty. A I cannot review the wasabi mayo sauce, as it was someone elses lunch, but it must've been good, as I saw an empty chicken box in the trash. The pickled radish could use more vinegar, but pieces were small and crunchy. A good side. A I'll be back again for sure! read more

Saw this place on Instagram so wanted to try it out. Called in our order ahead of time to save time. Service was great when I called in my order ahead of time. Got the 6 piece shoyu, 6 piece yang nyeom (sweet and spicy) 7 piece boneless shoyu and 7 boneless Yang nyeom. Also got the 7 piece GIMMARI which is deep fried glass noodles in nori and they chicken rice bowl. Went all out because it was a first time try. The highlight from our order was the Yang nyeom just the sweet taste made the chicken enjoyable. The deep fried glass noodles was different, and won't be ordering that again. The shoyu chicken was okay but we were more use to von's shoyu chicken. If I'm in the area I'd come back and try their honey flavored wings. read more

A new Korean fried chicken place in town is always exciting! Saw this on frolic and decided to give it a try. We parked in the Hana tea/ink pit parking lot and walked over to Soul Chicken. It's a small booth on the side. I would recommend take out unless you want to eat there (only two small tables). The menu is small but there are a lot of options - if course, you'll have to try a fried chicken. You can choose between bone in and boneless and specify the flavoring you want. There are about five flavors and the worker recommended the yeong nyom (? Not sure if I'm spelling that right) or honey garlic sauce bone-in style. We opted for the 6 pc yeong nyom - which was described as a Korean sweet and spicy sauce. Also ordered a side of mandoo which comes in small or large size. They have a bunch of other sides that were interesting and I'll def be back to try more! We ordered at the booth and we're told the order would take around 15 minutes. Of course we made a stop by Hana Tea while waiting and then went back to grab the food. Service was fast and the worker at the front was very nice. We decided to take the food back to our office to enjoy and our mouths were salivating the whole car ride back! Now onto taste. I would not call myself a Korean fried chicken expert but based on what I've tried before, this place seemed pretty authentic. The chicken is served with pickled daikon. Each chicken was breaded with a thick batter and coated in the sauce we got. The sauce we chose is like a gochujang sauce so if you like gochujang go for that. The flavor was good but I think I would prefer the honey garlic one a bit more so I'll go for that next time. The chicken was big and juicy. It is a generous serving! The mandoo was small but I really enjoyed the flavor of them and they were fried. Overall a great first time, I'll have to come back to try the other flavors to compare. read more

This place isn't bad. It's not great either. The results are average, which I believe is fair. On to the review... The good: Service was pleasant and friendly. Food prep was fast and fresh. Solid. French fries were cooked perfectly and blazing hot. Love it. The chicken was fried fresh and served hot. Needs work: The chicken appears to be bought frozen and already breaded and just fried at the location. Pre-made, frozen meats all taste the same. Unimpressed. The Hellfire sauce seemed to be just sweet Asian bbq sauce with something in it to make it brutally spicy. It was extremely spicy but lacked definitive flavor, a pepper or something to enhance the fire. It was fine, at best. The price is steep for pre-breaded chicken fingers but I've seen higher cost for worse food on the island too. Give it a try and maybe this place will make enough to try and create their own seasoned breading rather than buying pre breaded food. read more

Love the chicken it's a must try. I have been going one a week for the past month. Quick to

I cannot wait to return to this place. Small window on the side of the building. Great for take out or if you want to sit you can sit in the lounge next door. The mu is nice and crunchy and a great pairing for the wonderful crunchy juicy wings! My favorite is the gimari...Im crazy for gimari and these didnt even make it home....jut too easy to eat in the car!. I was eating them in front of my husband (after getting takeout) and he could hear the crunch when I bit into them, then he wanted some...ugh. Advice- if you are going to eat near people, order more! read more

My fiancé and I have been wanting to try Soul Chicken for quite sometime now, since we pass it pretty often. It's located in the complex across the river from Dillingham Plaza (where Chuck E Cheese's is). For a better reference, it's a few doors down from H&R Block. At first glance, it looks like a small stand... but don't let that fool you! You can park directly in the complex. We ordered our food online. Personally, I recommend to do this since it's a stand right off the street. If I'm not mistaken, I believe there's one table with a set of chairs that people can sit on, but otherwise, that is all. I recommend online or phone ordering because you may not want to stand around (I'm also not sure how long they take to prepare an order provided in-person). We ordered the wasabi mayo 12 piece bone-in fried chicken and the chicken salad. The fried chicken comes with a full cup of sauce on the side. Chicken was crispy, juicy, and paired really well with the sauce. The chicken salad had some fried chicken pieces on top of a bed of lettuce, bell peppers (red, green, orange, and yellow), tomato, and cucumber. The salad normally comes with a honey mustard dressing, but I requested for ranch. Upon online ordering, our order took about 20 minutes to be ready. Pick up was very easy, and the cashier was friendly. Overall, we paid about $35 for the chicken and the salad. Personally, it's a bit more expensive than other chicken places I've tried, but the sauce was great! We'll definitely be back to try the other flavors AND the chicken sandwich on the menu. read more

Been wanting to try this place out and glad I did. Right next to Costco got plenty parking in the strip mall. Got the shoyu and the Korean chicken (mild). Chx is super crispy. Sauce is decent - liked the shoyu better. Sides are nothing special - mac corn salad was weird. Mandoo was frozen (not house made). read more

Still the absolute best fried chicken on the island. Who knew that boneless wings can taste so juicy? Both the bone-in and boneless are great, but the boneless wings are so amazing. Very juicy and flavorful. Get the honey garlic or the regular fried ones. I know it's not the most convenient location, but you won't be disappointed. Ample parking. Go straight into the bar and order at the counter, but I recommend either calling or ordering online on their Clover site in advance. read more

Little hole in the wall. Literally got lost and walked into a bar but it's on the Main Road and worth getting a little lost for this Korean style chicken.

Random hidden gem. Literally hidden in a bar. Staff was friendly. Food was delicious!

Finally got around to trying this place. Chicken had great flavor but my only issue is I hesitantly ordered the hells gate flavor because of the warning and it turned out barely even being spicy. LOL. I didn't taste a difference between the yang Nyeom spicy and the hells gate. Great service and not too long of a wait for my order either! read more

This place is definitely unassuming tucked into a karaoke lounge when I stopped by while running errands a little after noon. My friend and I tried each of the chicken sandwich options. The mild chicken sandwich was flavorful and definitely not dry at all. The deep fried glass noodles in seaweed were a fun addition to my meal. The woman who helped us was very attentive and made us feel welcome. Their Halloween decor solidified that this is a fun spot. It seems like nearby construction is taking a toll on this fledgling spot. I will be back to Soul Chicken! read more

Cute little pop up that's now expanding to a lounge area (hope to go there soon!). I've been dying to try their chicken, and so the time has finally come. The yangnyeom chicken is a sweet/spicy sauce. If you're not a huge spice fan, mild is very tame! I hope to try the spicy version next and the hells gate in the future . I was surprised by how NOT spicy this was, but it was still super tasty! The tteokbokki also uses the same sauce. I've never had this where the rice cakes were fried. Would definitely get this one again. Mandoo was pretty standard, as was the gimmari. I also got regular chicken wings but with the wasabi mayo sauce. That was the bomb.com. Hint of wasabi taste, not very spicy at all. A little sweet, maybe sugar or honey? I really love the taste though. The chicken overall is just sooooo good and crispy. Cannot go wrong with fried chicken! Two tables with two chairs each for a cute lil dining area and if you're impatient like me and want to eat asap. read more

I would always see this place while driving on dillingham & finally stopped by for dinner. They are such a cute little kitchen attached to the bar, how cool is that! Anyways, their menu is simple and they have 6 flavors of chicken. They have sides, salad & a chicken bowl! I got their 6 piece boneless honey garlic chicken & my bf got their plain fried chicken. the honey garlic seasoning was super tasty!!! It had a sweet flavor to it, so perfect! Although it tasted like they used chicken thighs for their boneless chicken :( I usually like when it's chicken breast because I don't like the softness with cartilage in my chicken. That's the only thing I would change. My bf's fried chicken was super crispy on the outside, really good. Tasty & juicy, not dry! read more

I love the smell of fried chicken. Can't help myself. Hubby is the same so here we are. After a quick errand at Home Depot we decided to give it a try. Absolutely wins the cuteness award with the small outdoor seating and takeout window. There are two tables with two chairs each for seating. They have planters and a small grass area. You could actually bring a stroller or your pup if you wanted. the shop is located along Dillingham so the cars are rushing by and there's some flies. But yah notice it's still five stars. This chicken makes me wanna go back on the daily. What kind of sorcery is this that the crispy flakiness of a chicken can be so light and juicy while keeping the structure, all while being saturated with flavor?? It's definitely worth it wherever you may be coming from to pay this gem a visit. Bring the fam bam they'll love it. read more

Fried hot juicy chicken. Say no more. I'll be there. It's so awesome that you can order the sauce on the side, this way your fried chicken remains crispy and hot on the way home. Wasabi Mayo sauce - Are you an wasabi aioli fan? Then this is your jam. Nam Nyeon- mild spicy sauce, that's complimented the fried chicken well and had Korean spice flavors Spicy chicken sandwich - YUMMMMMY worth the price to me Side dishes - got the daikon, cuz I love daikon. Order whatever makes your heart happy. Parking - I parked in the little shopping mall close by and picked up my phone order. Be sure to place your order ahead of time so you don't have to wait! Happy eating! read more

Winna winna chicken dinner! I love fried chicken! Especially korean fried chicken. Soul Chicken looks like a pop up place but it's here to stay. The menu consists of different types of fried chicken, sauces, korean sides, sandwiches, and more. We decided to get their combo meals since it's a deal considering how much other places charge. You can choose what type of chicken you want (boneless or with bone), sauce, a side and a drink for $11. Sauces.... So here's the deal. Spicy is spicy, let's keep it that way. We decided to get the yang nyeom which their spicy and sweet sauce. It's so flavorful however if you can't handle spice, you might want to reconsider. There's a lot of different sides to choose from but we decided to be original and get their fries. They put some type of seasoning to make it more like cajun fries. I could be wrong but whatever seasoning it is, it should makes it tasty. For the price and the portion for the combo, it's definitely a steal. We could have shared a combo and order additional sides as the boneless chicken are big. Highly recommend to eat it right away as fried chicken is gold when it's fresh. read more

I am very picky about my fried chicken and even more so with Korean fried chicken! After I had the real deal the first time I was in heaven so I have to compare every place I try to that fried chicken. (Long time friend of mines mom made it ). This place definitely gets my approval stamp. It reminded me of hers!! The Yangnyeom chicken has always been the best and Soul does it justice ! It was crunchy and I mean BIG crunchy. Tender on the inside. I have to say though something was missing... it was still good and the sauce on that beautiful chicken was yummy but the chicken was still missing some kind of pop! Korean food is built on strong wonderful flavors so there's no reason it should be missing ..it's still close though and I'd still recommend going here and I'll probably be back! P.S the gimmari is DELICIOUS no complaints. Not sure if it's frozen and It doesn't matter so try it =D read more

The rice was nice and fluffy, proportion of rice to chicken was perfect as well. Would come back again for more. read more

Thankfully the parking lot wasn't busy there was parking right out front at almost 12:00. Thank goodness they have online ordering, my favorite thing about restaurants is when they have online ordering it makes like so much easier. The cashier was the sweetest! I ordered the 7pc boneless chicken in the honey flavor that comes with a side and drink. For my side I got the tteokbokki with nyeom sauce and I also ordered the gimmari. The tteokbokki wasn't my favorite it was pretty hard I warmed it up and it go a little softer, probably won't order that one again. But the gimmari?!? BEST THING EVER!!! It's like japchae inside and it was DELICIOUS!! I would just eat that if I had to. The chicken was nice a crispy and the honey wasn't very subtle. It was about $22 for everything which isn't bad. Definitely will be back to try other flavors! read more

Drove by Soul Chicken before and made it a point to come back and try it, I'm glad I did I ordered the Chicken Combo 6pc wings which comes with a drink and one side which I got the Gimmari (Glass noodles wrapped in Seaweed laver and deep fried) I think I lost my Soul to the Hell's Gate Spicy Chicken wings although It wasn't as Spicy as I imagined it was quite flavorful, Juicy and did have a bit of fire and did have a disclaimer that read "NO REFUND, NO LAW SUE" Exact wording, However I didn't think it was that hot but then again I am part Korean so maybe that played a factor I really did like the wings and am looking forward to trying the other flavors. Besides wings they also have other Chicken dishes on the menu like Chicken Sandwiches, Chicken Salad & a Chicken Bowl, Sides available are French Fries, Mandoo, Gimmari, Cole Slaw, Corn and Mac Salad, Rice Cake, & Rice. Parking I think would be at the strip mall on Dillingham and Kokea, The site is a small area behind what was Club Cleopatra. I shall be back soon! read more

I tried this place the other day and found the Yang Nyeom sauce good. I also thought the size of the wings were bigger than Von's or Wing Stop. Although you only get 12 pieces of wings for $20 you do get more at Von's. But the chicken was tasty and I honestly think the sauce makes it. Without it it's pretty much plain and simple chicken wings. Try it and let me know what you think. read more

I was so happy and eager to try this new Korean fried chicken spot in kalihi! It's a little place in the corner (literally a hole in the wall). Honestly, you won't be disappointed. My friend and I got the 20 PCs Family Combo: comes with 2 flavors + 2 sides + 2 drinks (canned drink). We were already full and we were only halfway. I think the family combo is best shared with 3-4 people. The Sweet & Spicy (mild) was pretty good, both flavors were very flavorful! Very crispy and juicy I recommend to eat right away. Sides: The rice cake was soft and chewy. It comes with their Yang Nyeom Sauce (sweet and savory taste). The portion was a good amount. I also liked their Gimmari, it's deep fried glass noodles in seaweed. It was interesting and I wasn't really sure if I liked it or not. The Gimmari gave me Filipino lumpia vibes with noodles. Overall, it was definitely worth it! I am excited to try the other things on their menu. Especially the chicken sandwich and their chicken salad! read more
