Soho Chicken Reviews
Dined here on a Saturday afternoon with my family and brother's family. Both of us have 2 children 2 or under! It's always overwhelming for us to eat out but soho chicken made it so much less overwhelming! We were the only patrons for about an hour around 11am. Our waiter, probably owner, was very attentive and welcoming. He told us to spread out for more room and did t mind that our kids were being a nightmare lol... All the portions are huge and plentiful, The prices are very affordable. Between 5 adults and 4 toddlers, we got A full order of chicken bites, bi bim bap, burrito with fries, dukbuki with hot dog, cheese corn, kim bap, seafood pancake. Everything was so delicious. Would love to come back when we're visiting but so many spots to try. Wish them the best!!
*I will make this a very brief review since I had recently done one from my most recent visit. I find myself again visiting a late night spot in Chinatown and had this thought to try what I mentioned from my last review which was the chicken at SoHo Chicken. But like always, I always appreciate they are open late on the weekends but the seating is not so congested which I like. But often I have just walked straight to the bar seats to be closer to the monitors playing. I did order the 10 piece soy garlic wings and a sundubu Jjigae with beef. Also the strawberry lemonade. I am happy to say after all this time has passed without giving it a try, I have been missing out on the wings. The batter and crunch factor is perfect. The sauce is flavorful and sticky but it is what I expected. The sundubu jjigae with beef was good as well. Not too spicy but the right amount. And you already know my take on the strawberry lemonade. Overall it was really good. I may consider it my go to spot now but I do have to give the other businesses around with a same concept a chance to get a feel for the vibe and make that final choice. But SoHo chicken has been great on my visits. It is hard to beat my experiences so far. The standard is high right now.
Had a great late night eat at SoHo Chicken. Loved that they had Terra, our favorite Korean beer, and I got a deliciously refreshing soju mojito to start. Ordered the wings with soy garlic and sweet and sour. Both were really good. The sweet and sour is similar to the taste of sesame chicken, so if you like that, you'll like this. Service was fantastic with attentive. waiters who were very friendly. Ambience was nice. Loved that it was a little dim but not super dark, and there were lots of tvs playing music videos and performances that were fun to look at but not too distracting. Definitely will be back to try more soju cocktails and the other Korean food.
I've concluded that this place is criminally underrated for its value and quality. The Korean Fried Chicken Wings are the best I've had in the Chinatown area, light and crispy with just the right amount of seasoning and flavors. Dad loved their Hot BiBimBap, with a medley of vegetables, doused with a desirable amount of housemade GoChuJang, and the crispy scorched rice on the bottom of the hot stone bowl. We could barely finish the two dishes ordered from their BOGO lunch special. We both also gladly purchased beverages to support this mom-and-pop spot. Spread the word, food is good, price is right!
The food was great! We got the cheese corn and an order of sweet and sour tenders. There was K-pop music playing. They also had good cocktails! Service was a little slow.
