    Perfectly wrap Mom's Chicken Sandwich reminder from KDrama  .

    Sandwich has sweet spicy sauce with lettuce and onion. Sauce is sweet but "spicy". Service is always excellent. Ambience is standard mall scenery. Sweet sauce and tenderness of chicken "broke the mouth".

    Shoyu garlic chx combo (rice & drink) ...about $21 total. Taste pretty good!

    Pretty good wings! Finally tried this place in Pearlridge after seeing it for a while in the food court area. Gives Vons some serious competition ...tastewise, I liked this better I thought based on this one sample. 5 pc + rice (or fries) + a medium drink + tax = about $21. But the pieces were pretty good sized and they actually gave me 6 pieces! Score! I had the shoyu garlic, one of the more popular flavor, and it was great! Sweet, garlicky and shoyuy flavor, with crunchy and moist pieces of chx. Eat that with a bit of sauce on the rice ...winnaz! I thought slightly on the pricy side for a lunch, but the taste made up for it. The owner (?) Personally came out to thank me for the order which was really nice. So yep, I would eat here again if I'm in the mood for fried chicken in PR !

    I visited Steve's Chicken with my gal pals. With a wide selection of food places of in the Pearlridge Food court, I was intrigued by the friendly and welcoming staff. I ordered the mom's chicken sandwich and the 5 piece garlic wings. My gal pal and I decided to share the food since it was a late lunch. The order came out fast and it was piping hot. The food came with gloves, which I appreciate since it's hard to eat saucy wings when you're out with friends. It's common to have gloves or hand wipes with finger foods in Asia. Anyway, we had to let the sandwich and wings cool for a bit. You could tell the food was fresh because of all the steam coming out. Once the food cooled down a little, we took a bite. It was so delicious. The wings were flavorful and had a crispy exterior. The sandwich was tall and filled with chicken and veggies. My friend and I happily ate the food and raved about how delicious it is. I definitely recommend trying this place. Usually mall food courts are slim pickings, but this place was satisfying and has good portions.

    Sweet Chili Chicken sandwich.  Yum!

    I'm surprised I never ate at Steve's in uptown Pearlridge. I guess no better time than doing it today, huh? First impression leaves me liking what I see in terms of the options. I guess since I was kind of wanting to try something different, I opted for the Sweet Chili Sandwich. And...I gotta say, I'm impressed by what they're doing. The coating of the chicken isn't thick, and the vegetables were great to complement it well. The sweet chili sauce definitely comes out with each bite, and there was just enough of it to enjoy the meal. Overall, it's very good for what you get. Maybe next time, I should try another of their flavored chicken sandwiches/wings if I ever go back there again.

    Went for a quick bite to eat for dinner at the pearlridge uptown food court. My cousin got a chicken sandwich here and she said it was really good. So I decided to order a chicken sandwich myself. Customer service here is top tier, super friendly and helpful staff. I was having trouble choosing which chicken sandwich to get because they came in so many flavors! But the employee explained and broke down the menu for me. I opted for the honey garlic sandwich. Let me start off by saying that the sandwich is HUGE! The chicken is THICK but packed with so much flavor. It was sweet, salty & savory! The fries the comes in the combo were delish too. Very comparable fries to Zippys or jolibee if you're into that. I really really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be coming back to order more chicken sandwiches or even try their chicken wings.

    Gotta love walking up to order for the first time with my family and being serenaded with: "La La La Lava Ch Ch Ch Chicken Steve's Lava Chicken, yeah it's tasty as hell Ohhhh mamacita now you're ringing the bell Crispy and juicy, now you're having a snack Oohh super spicy it's a lava attack!" Automatic 10/10 for putting a smile on all our faces, being attentive to not only my husband and I, but also super engaging with all our boys as well. We ordered the boys: 15 piece original wings with rice Steve's hot chicken sandwich Once the boys got their food, we noticed Uncle at the counter watching them enjoy eating and even went out of his way to hand deliver some shoyu with furikake! Who does that?! Mad props and respect to him! Thank you for making Steve's Chicken a great experience for them! As far as the chicken, my boys loved it and considered Steve's to be TOP 5! Can't wait to come back!

    Spicy Mom's Chicken Sandwich and Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich

    I'd always wanted to try Steve's Chicks in Kunia, so I was bummed to see it close. I was excited when they opened a new location in Pearlridge and finally got the chance to stop by! Steve's Chicken is a fast casual Korean fried chicken spot located in the uptown food court. We were greeted with friendly, upbeat service as we looked at their menu of sandwiches and wings. We ordered two jumbo chicken thigh sandwiches to share. Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich - Juicy chicken, cheese, lettuce, pickles and a super buttery and garlicy sauce! Think garlic shrimp in chicken form. Would definitely order again! Spicy Mom's Chicken Sandwich - Crispy chicken with cheese, onions, lettuce and a drizzle of hot sauce. Surprisingly spicy and delicious! The price is definitely high but the sandwiches are large and quality!

    Stopped by Steve's Chicken in the Pearlridge Mauka (Uptown) food court. We ordered the honey garlic chicken sandwich, the Italian basil pesto chicken sandwich combo (comes with fries and a drink), and a 2-choice order of chicken wings with the supreme and snow cheese powder flavor (10 wings total). The sandwiches use chicken thigh, which makes them extra juicy. The breading is light and crisp but not as crispy as other Korean chicken spots. Portion is huge! It could easily be feed 1-2 people. The honey garlic is sweet and savory and kinda reminded me of a honey mustard, and the Italian basil pesto was herbaceous. The wings are bone-in flats and drumettes. The supreme flavor wings reminded us of a sweet BBQ with a mild spicy kick. I wish they offered that sauce as a side for the fries, I would totally purchase. The snow cheese powder had that nostalgic cheesy flavor similar to Doritos or Cheetos. Service was quick, and the staff were genuinely friendly. We're pretty sure the owner was behind the counter, chatting with customers and playing with the kids. You can really feel the local, family-run vibe here.

    Mother cluckin' good chicken sandwiches. Thanks Aron N. for the recommendation. Putting this rating into perspective, Popeye's, KFC, or Jollibee chicken sandwiches are all one star. Eighty Chicken Sandwiches, the best chicken sandwich in Hawaii, is five stars. These are giant, weighty sandwiches. Three large chicken thigh tenders in hearty potato buns slathered with whatever tasty sauce makes up your selection, piled high with veg that interestingly is tossed with a sweet dressing. Sliced dill pickles finish up the creations. The best part, the chicken isn't over salted. It allows the flavors like the pesto and shaved parm of the Italian Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich to stand out. All is not perfect. The fish for the fish and chips is processed and taste like it's been frozen too long. The fries are oddly rubbery. Inexpensive in tariff town 'Murica averaging $15 each. Very friendly service. A solid, albeit different take on chicken sandwiches that are well worth a visit to a mall food hall.

    We were searching for a place to have lunch. Steve's Chicken was highly recommended by our fellow Yelper's. Located in the Pearlridge Shopping Center on the Macy's side food court. Service is friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. They cook everything fresh well worth the short wait. Today we tried Mama's Chicken Sandwich Combo and the Original and Snow Chicken Wings. The sandwich was delicious and the wings totally cravable. Dine in at the food court seating or take out available. Definitely a great place for Fried Chicken

    Today I got to try the Seasoned Chicken Wings (Spicy) meal and it was very tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

    I just ate the largest chicken sandwich I have ever seen. I mean, you might think that Popeyes and Jollibee have large chicken sandwiches and you are right! They are large. But Steve's chicken sandwich is ridiculously LARGE! There must be twice the amount of chicken in this sandwich! The container couldn't close and the sandwich was bursting out of the container! Is it good? Yes! But let me get into the specifics..... The sandwich is so large that it actually suffers from being too big. My first bite needed way more flavor. The chicken itself is not heavily seasoned so it's actually quite bland. Adding salt doesn't help - it needs more herbs or spices or brine. It is a large piece of chicken and it needs some kind of brine or seasoning to make that bite sing. However, all is not lost, the sandwich actually does pack a punch (I got the pesto sandwich BTW). The punch and flavor is on the bottom! Unfortunately I was several big bites in before I realized it. The onions, sweet pickles, dressing, pesto, cheese was mostly on the bottom. I took a bite from the bottom and it was a sweet delicious concoction! But by then my sandwich was falling apart. At that point I used a fork and knife. Even then, I had HUGE pieces of chicken that I had to eat. So maybe the answer is to turn it upside down in the wrapper and eat it that way? The sandwich was around $14 for the sandwich alone so it's pricey - but you get a lot. Overall, quite an experience and good service. If you are hungry and want the biggest chicken sandwich you have ever seen, go to Steve's! But take it from me, rotate the sandwich before eating and you will enjoy the first few bites a lot more!

Came home and was disappointed this time the mandoo was garlicky and lots of chives. Maybe this batch was heavy on the chives and garlic. Im not a garlic and chives person a little is ok but wow it was overwhelming. Even my husband said so. Maybe next time they'll not put to much.

    HISTORY: Soon's korean bbq smoky aromas drenching the neighborhood are a core childhood memory. I…read moregrew up in the 80s nearby, cruising Salt Lake Shopping Center from back when there was Pioneer Chicken and Kana's Ice Cream and Pay n' Save and Sizzler's. My parents would stop pick up Soon's on the way to UH games at the stadium, a Saturday splurge (they were never cheap) when my mom didn't have time to make musubi and hotdogs. Maybe i'm suffering from "da good ole days" syndrome, but my first trip back to Soon's in about ten years left me Broken Hearted... VALUE: the portions were OK, Soon's always gave a satisfying portions but never "masu's massive" satisfying. I thought they used to drop a rubbery fried mandoo as a bonus side with your plate but i could be wrong and i got none today. AMBIANCE: it seemed cleaned up, definitely. but like when you see an old plantation house with a thick coat of bright glossy latex it just felt a little off in a less charming, trying-too-hard kind of way. For reference, I absolutely love the "Honesty" of Bob's BBQ on Waikamilo, and BBQ Kai in Waianae. FOOD: I ordered a couple BBQ Chicken and Meat Jun plates for some contractors working on my parents' house nearby, thought that was a safe bet but NOPE. I felt bad i gave the contractors the terrible meat jun i wanted to apologize was so embarrassing. MEAT JUN - (2/10, +one point cuz it didnt give me food poisoning). Soon's version always was thin, but today was Next Level chintzy. I dunno if the meat was over-pounded flat to stretch it out but even WITH the coating it was the SIZE AND TEXTURE OF BITING INTO A STICK OF STALE WRIGLEY'S JUICY FRUIT THAT WAS FORGOTTEN IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BACKPACK FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS DURING A HUMID SUMMER VACATION, but without the burst of fruity goodness. So maybe a more apt analogy would be texture and flavor LIKE BITING INTO A STICK OF CLAY. MEAT JUN SAUCE - (nostalgic 8/10). sweet and tasty, but Why do they give only that MINI thimble portion cup of sauce?!? THE CLAY-LIKE MEAT JUN DOESN'T EVEN FIT THE OPENING OF THE TINY %#@$ CUP!! BBQ CHICKEN - (solid 6/10). Always over-marinated, the classic soon's tasty but heavy handed preparation. Clearly benefits from nostalgia. OTHERS - the BBQ meat / bulgogi is also over marinated, with small/medium shreds of slightly dry and too-hard meat. meh. - the "banchan" tsukemono kimchee foil pocket of veggies was always a treat, but so small. plus the kimchee is super weak more orange and sour than truly tasty. The TREAT - SECRET IS TO POUR A PRECIOUS FEW DROPS OF YOUR TINY CUP OF MEAT JUN SAUCE OVER THE VEGGIES TO GIVE IT A TASTY KICK. VERDICT: I grew up with Soon's, but I want to remember them fondly so I'm Never going back. My parents still live in Salt Lake so I'm sad. Guess I'm just going to file Soon's away with the fuzzy old memories of Aloha Stadium, the Islanders, and the 'Bows v. BYU. Next time i need Korean bento I'm going to Gina's.
