The place was nice and big with a cute mural. You could order at a kiosk or with a person at the register. After ordering, I sat down and saw that you could get $5 an order of $20 if you ordered via their app. I had put my phone number in for points, but it seemed to be a different system than the app, because nothing showed up on the app. The food came out in spurts: first was the kimchi fried rice. It was pretty tasty with pork belly bites and crispy rice. We got the curry pork katsu, a chicken sandwich, ttekkboki, and chicken tender fries. The curry pork katsu seemed to be the best deal, nice and crispy. The chicken sandwich was just okay and disappointing that it doesn't come with fries. The chicken tenders and fries were pretty bland, but it was good when dipped in the ttekkboki sauce. The rice cakes and fish cakes in the ttekkboki were decent, but the sauce overall could've had a little more kick. Bathroom were nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. read more

So-Ju Chikn' - Delicious Korean Food in Melbourne - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Great chicken! Ordered the So-Ju tenders with special seasoning. I don't know exactly how to describe the seasoning, but it very good! You don't need a sauce with the So-Ju special seasoning. Ordered inside. Only took about 10 minutes. It's a small restaurant with a very modern vibe. If you haven't tried it, then give it a shot! read more

I came here for lunch on Friday and wasn't very pleased. I'll start by saying that I'm don't know much about Korean food, so please excuse my ignorance. I didn't like the coconut curry chicken as it was not served hot and there wasn't much chicken on the bones. I asked the waiter if I could have something simpler like chicken tenders and she was happy to replace the meal which was very nice. The tenders were pretty big and a big overdone for my taste, as some other reviewers have pointed out. All in all, it was a so-so experience. I also don't like how the owner responds to some of the reviews here with snarky comments, it doesn't seem very professional. I understand restaurants are hard work and I am not fast to give a bad review. read more

I came here after working at Kavasutra about 300 steps away. :) I saw the logo and kept thinking I really wanted to try this place. Food: I think it might be Korean style im not 100% sure. What I am sure of, is how great the food is. I went with a bowl add egg, you know I had to go with pork belly. It was really good! Even the prevention was great. My 2nd visit I order chicken strips and there were huge! Inside: The paint is fresh and nice. The walls are covered in Anime style art, With anime cartoons playing on the TV screens. Pretty cool, feels like a place younger people would hang out. It's not quite fast serve and not table service. You order the food and they bring it out to your table. The service was good, order came up fast. This is a good spot and ill most likely stop on again! read more

Great food, great service, great prices. We love this restaurant. We keep coming back.

Quick food, friendly service, hot fresh chicken wings were CRISPY on the outside and JUICY on the inside. The kimchi fried rice had a nice vinegar kick and big chunks of pork belly, well rendered and tasty. Wings tried were: Gochujang buffalo - spicy sweet and crispy under the sauce Seoul hot - this one ended up being a dry rub which caught me off guard, luckily, I LOVE a dry rub blend. It was spicy, salty, sweet, crispy and I'd order 30 more if I had the time and funds. Will visit again. Will probably pick some sauces up if they keep being this good read more

So I doordash this more than anything. But I love to stop by on occasion. Gabriel is the man! His customer service is on point. It's been months since I was last in but he remembers me. And that I need something reheat-able for when my bf gets off work. Love the style here and vibe is so bold and chill. I look forward to the boba bar expansion. They have new menu options and I'm going to try everything. Kimchi eggrolls is my next pick! Thank you for making my date nights easy and delicious! read more

I ordered Tteokbokki .. it was at 11 am and there were no customers in the store. Cost was $11 and it was a take out order. The rice cakes were not fresh at all, it was probably in that sauce for days as the entire rice cake was red and very soggy, not the normal consistency. It was hard to tell if there was any fish cake included, much of it was cabbage. The portion was extremely small and certainly not worth $11. This first experience is enough for me to never return. 07/09/2025 SM read more

Service: 10/10.. very patient and friendly. Helpful with menu. Ambiance: 7/10.. simple decor, nothing fancy. They loss points because they had a rated "R" movie playing (aliens having intercourse with a human) and kids were dining in. The television was VERY large and not positioned where it could be ignored. Food: 5/10.. pains me bc I wanted to love the food. The wings were tasty, but could have used more seasoning. The garlic shrimp bowl was very bland. I would likely not go back, but encourage others to give it a shot. read more

No frills eating establishment. They have a lot of selections but the menu kinda confused me. First time so it was a lot to take in. Ordered the chicken strips and they were pretty good. Maybe a tad too well done for my taste. Hard coating. Chose the Sirachia Honey sauce. They have sauces and dips so make sure you know which is which when you are ordering. The staff behind the counter was very eager to help and make what I wanted the way I would want it. So can't fault them. Music was a little loud. read more

We randomly picked So-Ju Chikn for dinner. We were greeted by Gabriel. He was very very helpful, being our first visit. He explained the menu and different options. We wanted to try several items and flavors. So we ordered several items. They were all absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The pieces of chicken are good size, not little strips. The egg rolls. Are also large and delicious. The restaurant was very clean with plenty of parking. We will definitely be going back. Great food and phenomenal customer service. read more

Walked in and wasn't greeted. There is no one in the establishment. Asked to sample the seasonings of the dry rub (soju secret in this case) and the person at the register didn't want to give me the seasoning saying it would be hard to shake into a sample cup. She did it anyway. The 50 piece combo is served with one small drink and a half order of fries or rice. The food is good but the person at the register was just not happy to serve us. I would understand if it was busy but we came in with no attitude but leaving with a sense of not being welcomed here. Person who helped us was named Cora. read more

Saw they announced a new menu and food items. Unfortunately, the only thing new is my disdain for their food. Jinpae Pork Belly - overcooked noodles with no seasoning and burnt pork. Mochi waffle advertised powdered sugar but instead came with syrup, no sugar, frozen fried slop. Sweet n Sour Chiken, little to no rice and so much sauce it became a soup. This will be my last time here read more

The food is delicious and honestly authentic! There's so so much flavor in every entree. They do play kpop and if you ask they put whatever group you'd like! read more

UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER COMMENT: The pork RIB bowl tasted of old pork about to go bad covered by marinade to mask the taste. It actually made me feel really sick after a first bite, so my friend ended up eating the rest of it. I ate the chicken tenders and it was ok, but it was very greasy and you can tell the oil they used was not fresh. The cauliflower was not good and I didn't bother with the wings as it's Korean chicken aka sickeningly sweet sauce. The fries were the only thing I was like ok on. This is the second time I gave this place a try and both times it was mid. Service is great tho. Response to owner's comments: 1. The friend does not believe in wasting food and therefore ate the bowl because it was still money paid. Thanks for pointing out that I could've gone and asked for an exchange for a different dish, will keep that in mind. 2. I do in fact love Korean food. 3. Chicken wing sauce had a sweet taste to it. 4. Like you said, to each their own. Different taste buds; and maybe the flavors just didn't agree. Appreciate the reply to my review though! read more

As a long time fan of Korean Fried chicken, I finally steered the car into the car park for So-Ju Chicken. The weekend manager, Gabriel, kindly provided samples of each of the sauces. Though I knew already what I was looking for (gimme that classic Korean Red Sauce!) Ended up splitting the sauces in a ménage a trois of spicy Korean red, spicy garlic soy and standard garlic soy. Also samples the kimchi (house made, a little spicy, very nice!) Side of daikon (personal thought - best in brevard right here!) Also tried the bulgogi egg rolls (solid choice, the house made yum yum sauce was a delight) The double fried wings did not disappoint. Crispy, hot, juicy, savory wings graced by a spin in those wonderful house made sauces.... While I ordered "too much" I certainly disagree as I have perhaps the most wonderful lunch plans for the next few days. Bottom line: If you find yourself craving yummy, fresh, plentiful Korean chicken, don't pass up on So-Ju Chikn. I'll be dreaming of these wings! read more

So I took my family here tonight and being that I have a five month old I was kinda annoyed the bathrooms weren't baby friendly. There are no mirrors or changing tables in the bathroom. The food is cooked to order so it's served hot and fresh. I ordered garlic soy wings and fries with their house sauce. I believe the house sauce is version of yum yum sauce (at least what I felt it tasted like). The fries are really good they come topped with sesame seeds, green onions. The chicken wings are pretty big I ordered ten I have a "smaller than most appetite" and had two and was fully satisfied. The wings come topped with the green onions and black sesame seeds for garnish as well. The garlic soy is kinda on the saltier side. I wanted to try the spicy option so I got a side of the honey sriracha sauce and it didn't give heat like I expected. It was sweet and tangy however. Ambiance: very clean, and nice flooring; there's a lot of anime, they even play it while dining on a larger tv screen. read more

Hercules Hercules! Melbourne finally has a Korean fried chicken spot! What an exciting and delicious new casual restaurant that I've wished would exist for so long. Korean food is amazing, and the chicken? Truly the best fried chicken I've ever known. It's crispy but delicate, so juicy and the sauces just outdo normal wing flavors we are so accustomed to here in the states. This place does not disappoint! From the choices of sauces and multiple options of chicken in so many form to the yummy sides that seem to cater to those who do not normally eat Korean food to the ones that do! And it comes with radish for the perfect pallet cleanser and heat reducer. Hopefully they will eventually carry soju drinks to go along with their name. So many possible fruity flavors that would just enhance the chicken in so many ways. read more

Well I decided to try this place out I was working at another place with in the plaza and this always popped on my timeline on Facebook. Well let's just say that you feed you for sure! Price for what you get is a great value. Hands down a bad ass chicken sandwich, do I dare say it Rivas CFA? Yeap, let's see them make a big ol sandwich like that!!! And the mozz sticks tasted like they made em and frozen crap like chain places. Only one staff member was at the register the kitchen is well hidden and blocked off, no big deal to me just explaining what you will see, and that one employee was very friendly, took care of me as a first time customer. Now the restaurant itself, I'd totally hang with friends there and table top game of they allow it, place so so amazing inside the anime art on the walls the music they play don't know of any other place like it in Melbourne that is a restaurant. Check 'em out you'll love it. read more

fast, casual spot in Melbourne, FL. Korean fried chicken wings were really big pieces and really crispy! Had a BOGO coupon and got 10 pc with da red sauce & 10 pc so-ju secret dry rub. Da red sauce says "little spicy" on the menu, but I'd say it's more sweet and sticky. Flavor is good but can be very overpowering. Dry rub was plain. If I go again, I'd try different sauces. Dining area is bright inside and spacious with lots of tables and seating. There's also a hand washing station. https://www.instagram.com/p/CuFHjnMLHbH/?igshid=Y2I2MzMwZWM3ZA== read more

This place is pretty good and has a nice selection of Korean food, which helps satiate my Korean fried chicken cravings when I don't want to drive too far. The service was friendly, the food came out very fast, and there was plenty of seating despite there not being a lot of people in the restaurant. I ordered the kimchi fries, Bulgogi fries, and the garlic soy chicken tenders. All of the food was good; however, it wasn't anything too special. Everything was crispy and delicious, but it didn't blow my mind. Overall, this is a solid Korean fried chicken restaurant, and I recommend it for people who want flavorful fried chicken and a chill atmosphere. read more

So-Ju Chikn- Melbourne, FL- 4 Stars "In the restaurant business, you not only serve the community but serve it with taste." - Anonymous Hmm, I thought as I re-read the name peering up at me from my random name generator. This doesn't bode well. It seems my device is sending me to yet another joint owned by Tony N. of Senzu Noodle Bar fame. Leery of trying anything from this guy's kitchen after the horrid swill offered at Senzu, I put my Big Boy pants on and decided to take one for the team (if I had to). This place still has that new restaurant smell and the interior is spotlessly clean. Unlike, Senzu, so-Ju Chikn is co-owned with his brother Hung. I placed an order for a 2 piece tender meal and a Beef Bulgogi bowl. My waitress for the meal was Mary Ann. I found Mary Ann to be quite charming and a delight compared to the obnoxious Zoomer at Senzu. Mary Ann was soon seen heading back with my order and I readied myself for good or ill! The first thing up was a bite of what appeared to be perfectly fried chicken tenders. Yep, they were indeed fried to perfection. They were tender and juicy on the inside with a light golden coating that packed just the right amount of crunch. As far as I could discern, the So-Ju secret dry-rub appears to be naught but salt and MSG (the same can be said of Kentucky Fried Chicken's Secret Herbs and Spices, though they also add pepper to the mix). Regardless, it was exceedingly flavorful on the palate. I truly enjoyed this chicken The Beef Bulgogi bowl was filled to the top with fresh lettuce and Daikon. The Kimchi that accompanied it while nothing to write home about, was certainly nothing to sneeze at either. It was fresh and tasty. The base of steamed rice was prepared to immaculateness. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how wonderfully flavorful the pickled Daikon was. Daikon is pretty much tasteless and this preparation added some real flavor and an impressive taste to the vegetable. I am not sure if Brother Hung is the difference but this meal was very good and I recommend you try it. Big boy says, "Avoid the owner but worship the food." #bigboydiningout #bigboy read more

Korean Street Food. Very tasty, excellent service. You can also sample the different sauces if you are not sure about the taste .

Wow! This place blew us away! We were just looking for a place to eat before going crabbing and so glad we randomly found on Yelp! The chicken was fresh and super crispy! The Honey sriracha sauce on the wings was soooo good! My friend had the sandwich and really enjoyed it as well! The lady at the counter was super helpful and cheerful with her recommendations. We're from Orlando, but it tastes better than some of the Korean Fried chicken places there. Next time we're in the area, will definitely stop by again! read more

I think we paid like $45 for 3 sandwiches and fries. If you want to feel like you wasted your money, this is the place for you! It's a self-service place, and the atmosphere doesn't feel welcoming at all, so get your food and go if you must, but do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. Anywhere but here. Update: nice reply from the "manager" solidifying why we will never go back. If this is how they operate and treat people who spend their hard-earnerd money, you won't last in this business. Anyway you look at it, terrible business practices, terrible prices and terrible attitude towards anyone who disagrees, ain't that right, "friend". Bye-bye!! read more

I really enjoyed their beef bulgogi bowl and cheese fries! Their kimchi was tasty and their chicken tenders were huge. I'm not sure if they have a sauce similar to Gochujang, but if they do I would love to try that. Their dining area has several low and high tables, and their manga wall is pretty epic. Everything was very clean and they get extra points from me because they were playing BTS music/videos on their TV. read more

Low key, casual spot but the food is anything but low key! The chicken is amazingly prepared, full of flavor and the perfect crispness. Also their crab Rangoon is some of the best I've had. Perfectly stuffed and not over cooked as so many local places do.

A friend recommended we try it and now we have brought multiple people who have also loved it. Will definitely keep returning for more. read more
