So crispiest fries and chicken I've had in a while!! Super nice staff and fun ambiance

1989 the number, another summer! (Get down!) Sound of the funky drummer! Music hitting your heart 'cause I know you got SOUL!!! (Brothers and sisters, HEY!) Listen if you're missing y'all Swingin' while I'm singin'... About this little Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) place that's got me singin' that old school Public Enemy jam! Located at the end of a little old strip mall, which might be hard to get to, primarily because of road construction next to it. Keep in mind that parking can be a pain it it's busy. And I really hate to say this, but the road construction is just a complete turn-off. But once you get here and try their wings, you'll completely forget about all that. Let's get straight to the KFC of things and explain why I've got SOUL!!! 20pc Chicken Wing Family Combo ($38.95), which includes 2 flavors, 2 sides, and 2 drinks. We tried the Honey and Spicy Yang Nyeom, and maaaaan talk about Soul For Real! The honey flavor was a perfect crisp and sweetness, a perfect tenderness, a perfect everything! I feel they use olive oil to deep fry them, but don't quote me on that. Even the Yang Nyeom spiciness was fairly manageable and simply flawless. Next time, I'm gonna go for Hell's Gate to challenge myself and some naked wings to go along with it. As for staff and service, the two ladies that helped us were cordial and pleasant. We mainly dealt with Cheryl, who seemed to be running the place. She gave us sauce samples, made recommendations, took our order, and showed us where to refill our water glasses at the bar. The bar and dining area is part of Bliss Lounge, a karaoke bar that shares the stage while you chill here with a beer, wings, and a song. Someday, I'll share a rap y'all! But for now, if you haven't tried these wings, you're missin' out!

Great service and great food. I had a chicken sandwich, and it was so tasty. The mandoo is delicious. The hell wings are indeed hellish.

Yes. Yes. Yes. My husband is an avid Korean Fried Chicken lover, so you know we have to hit them all. Soul chicken has been our favorite thus far!! You can order at the to-go window outside, but you can also eat inside at the bar area (Bliss karaoke). The menu is almost the same but it's worth sitting inside if you're with a group, or if you want to enjoy your food HOT 'n FRESH. We ordered just about every single flavor offered on the menu, and there wasn't a single bad one. We love the original (naked one) and the Hell's Gate (no refund, no lawsuit). It was not as spicy as I was expecting it to be, honestly, but it was still delicious! We also l loved all the sides! The corn salad tastes just like the ones you order in Korea, and the dduk with yangneom sauce was yummm. The fries were crispy and don't forget to order some pickled radish for that delicious, vinegary crunch. The service was super friendly and they did a great job of explaining things and answering questions to us first-timers. Parking is also easy since they're in an actual shopping plaza with their own lot. I know the construction around that area is a pain, but honestly it's worth venturing into this area if you want a solid meal of Korean Fried Chicken!! Can't wait to be back.

The fried chicken wings from here are so delicious. I had lunch here with Auntie Nadine. Our cashier, Cheryl, was nice enough to let us sit inside Bliss Lounge so that we'd be more comfortable in the A/C. We both opted for the six piece bone in combo. It came with one side and one drink. Nadine got her chicken with honey and chose the gimmari as her side. I got the chicken with shoyu and chose the mandoo as my side. I've never even heard of gimmari (deep fried glass noodles in seaweed) before this place. I really liked it, but Nadine preferred the mandoo. Both the honey and shoyu flavorings were delicious. Obviously, the honey chicken was on the sweeter side. If that's what you like go for the honey. Definitely five stars for the chicken, gimmari, mandoo and the service from Cheryl.

Lunch in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend, Angel H., is a chicken connoisseur. I thought that she would be a great foodie companion to go with me to Soul Chicken. We've passed by this vendor on Dillingham Boulevard many times because Costco is nearby. We heard that it was somehow connected with Bliss Lounge next door. We found out that the owner does own both businesses. We were invited to dine inside the lounge (instead of sitting outside with the wind, exhaust fumes, and traffic passing by). Great idea because of the air conditioning, convenient restroom, and comfy booth seating! Cheryl was our friendly, helpful cashier. She took our orders, told us where the entrance to Bliss Lounge was; turned the air conditioning on for us; told us where the best seat was for maximum AC; brought our meals to us; and was the perfect, cheerful, efficient host! Angel ordered the Shoyu Chicken Wings and Mandoo. I got the Honey Chicken Wings and Gimmari. We shared so that we could have a taste of each other's meals. I liked everything. I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite because each item was good in its own way. Both types of chicken wings were tasty and crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside. Both sides (Mandoo and Gimmari) were delicious! We had a wonderful experience - mostly because of Cheryl! We look forward to returning! We really appreciated the free shared parking!

Ohhhhh so good. Their wings were succulent and the outside was crispy!!! The fries and chicken tenders were pretty good too! Their wasabi mayo was excellent for dipping too! So glad I came to check this spot out! You order at a stand and you Can either sit at one of the two tables outside with the view of a concrete drill vehicle or you can eat inside Bliss karaoke lounge with funky colorful chairs and dart machines, alcohol bottles and TVs surrounding you. So I chose the latter. The seating was pretty comfy and oh my the ladies were so nice and sweet! Even though I got takeout; she brought the bag to me and took out the boxes for me. She asked if I needed plates and more utensils etc. There's also bathroom inside and it's decent. It's kinda old but at least it's clean. The setting looks fun; maybe I'll come check out the bar at night some time haha.

These days Korean fried chicken wings competition is pretty fierce. I read about Soul Chicken while back but never made it down mainly because it didn't seem like there was any sitting area. I was wrong. You can go to Bliss Karaoke/bar next door and order Soul Chicken there and eat them in nice AC room. I'm guessing that both of the establishments are owned by the same people. There were 2 tables right outside but one of the staff lady told us to go inside Bliss Karaoke. She was so nice. For now, my family highly approves Soul Chicken with great, juicy fried chicken wings made to order of course. They were impressed that inside the chicken was so juicy. We tried the honey, garlic and Yang Nyeom (slightly spicy for you spicy lovers out there.) We also ordered little fried seaweed wrap with long rice in them. Those were also good. It was like little spring rolls. They are on Dillingham so expect some traffic as there's major construction in this area. You can park in the same area as where Hana Tea used to be for free.

After passing Soul Chicken numerous times on Dillingham and reading some great reviews we finally had a chance to stop in. Saturday at 12p found parking in the adjacent lot and ordered from the window. The lady was SO Nice and allowed us to sample some of the wing sauces before ordering. My Bf got the 6Pc wing honey wing Combo for $15.95 came with drink and a side we got fries and also asked for side of Wasabi sauce. I got the chicken bowl in Yang Nyeom flavor for $11.95. She the offered to have us sit inside to eat which was awesome. Air conditioning, TVs and tables. It's in the same spot as Bliss Karoke lounge. Food was delicious! Not oily, but perfectly crunchy and I thought that chicken bowl which actually came out in a plate was delicious and such a generous portion. So much I will be eating the rest for dinner. Customer service was amazing and chicken is delicious! Would definitely stop in again. There have a lot of other items you can order besides chicken such as calamari, ribeye, mandoo, cheese sticks etc..But I think their top selling item is ofcourse the delicious fried chicken!
