I typically order the lunch special which is available from 10:30 - 3:30 pm daily. I always get meat jun and shrimp tempura.

So yes, this is a Korean spot in case its name didn't give it away. Looks small and nondescript from the exterior, with not too much parking out front as it shares this lot with other businesses. Inside is bigger than you think, though. Most people come here for takeout, but there is plenty of comfortable seating if you want to stick around. I can see why this is a popular lunch spot for the locals on their break. Food comes out quick and service is efficient and diligent. Lots of items and combos to choose from the menu, but they have daily lunch specials that makes it easier for you. You can pick two of their regular items and it comes with rice, veggies, and banchan at a discounted price. For what you're getting, this is a SUPERB deal. They absolutely do not skimp out on the portions. This will fill you up for the whole day. Ordered the following lunch special: - BBQ short ribs and chicken - 8.5/10: My God man, this was awesome. Came straight from the BBQ out back (they have an open fire grill) and you could literally taste that lovely smoke. Perfectly cooked, tasty, tender, juicy, and delicious. I believe they use the same marinade for both proteins, but I ain't complaining. Just great stuff. So yeah, I'm already hungry just thinking about it. Definitely a GREAT time was had by all.

Back to the banchan, they even offer fresh poke. It was some of the best I've ever had. They also have Tteokbokki as well.

I actually laughed when I saw the tiny sliver of meat jun that was served. Come on! We've been coming here for years and have never seen such a drastic change in portion sizes. The portions have become ridiculously small while the prices keep going up. We had a table of four, and the banchan served was barely enough for one person. Unfortunately, the value just isn't there anymore. At this point, you're better off going down the road for a more flavorful Korean feast.

They take reservations, though I have not had an issue getting seated immediately when I walked in. They have different meal sets or a la carte items, with the meal sets coming with a bunch of delicious banchan, my favorite being the sweet marinated potato. Random mention that their jowl almost tastes like chicken... Service is quick and they can help you cook your meats. The restaurant does fill up with smoke quickly, so expect it to be a hair wash day.

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.
