STRAIGHT FIRE -- Five Stars! This spot is an absolute banger and a standout inside a beautiful, spotless, brand-new food hall that just opened January 17th. The vibe is fresh, modern, and buzzing -- the kind of place you immediately know you'll be coming back to. Let's talk food: the chicken wings were INSANE perfectly cooked, juicy, crispy, and bursting with flavor. I ordered the sauces on the side and WOW -- every single one was next-level good. So flavorful I could drink them (not saying I did... but ). The staff? A+ all the way. Super friendly, incredibly helpful, and they even had samples available, which instantly tells you they're confident in their food -- and for good reason. Amazing food, amazing people, and an amazing space. This place is a must-try, must-return, must-tell-your-friends-about spot. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

The wait for their chicken sandwich (Wasabi Mayo) was close to 20 minutes. The size of the sandwich was on the low medium side for $13.25 (plus tax). I think the extra $1 for the added sauce to go from $11.95 to a $12.95 sandwich is a very big turn off. The quality of the chicken (freshly made) for the sandwich and the bun were very good, but the value was just not there. It is too expensive for what you are getting. Pretty much every food stall in the Midtown Eats food court is overpriced. The foods there actually costs more than what you would get at Ala Moana Shopping Center, which is abosutely insane. It is just not worth the price to come back or recommend. read more

Ya got SOUL??? I mean Soul Chicken my friends! Lol! My very first experience with Soul Chicken was at their little shop across the street from Honolulu Community College on Dillingham Blvd., their humble beginnings was a little stand, with a few outdoor tables/seating. Not much of a dine-in joint, it was mainly made for take out. Now-a-dayz it's kinda hard to get to Soul Chicken due to the on-going rail construction project in the area, so I'm HAPPY to report to you folks that Soul Chicken has opened another outlet location at the - Midtown Eats food court! Access to Soul Chicken is pretty easy, as there are tons of metered street parking, or if you like, there is parking within the building, and I heard they validate for parking (I used street parking the day I came here). It's your basic food court set up - walk up to the counter & order your food, pay, & when your food is ready they will call you. You pick up your food, then look for an open table within the food court. I was getting some grub from a Mexican joint at the food court, but how can you not pass up on some Korean Frrrrrrried Chicken??? Shoots den'! I split a 6 piece Korean Frrrrrrried Chicken with my friend & ate mostly da drums. Lol! Like anything, it's your standard Korean Frrrrrrried Chicken joint. Good texture & very comparable to the other Korean Frrrrrrried Chicken joints. I will be back one day to 'soully" eat Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings, and not get side tracked by Mexican food! Lol! read more

Please fix the business hour. They don't open till 11am. Food is good. Service is okay.

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... The original location of Soul Chicken is on Dillingham Boulevard where there's traffic and construction due to "The Rail" project. This second location of Soul Chicken is much better because it's one of the vendors at Midtown Eats, on the Ground Level of The Park on Keeaumoku. Currently, parking in the structure is free. Just enter on Liona Street. Later, parking will be validated for 2 hours. We appreciate the air-conditioning, shared seating areas (indoors and outdoors), secured restrooms (women's door code is 6688*), ramps for wheelchairs and strollers, and clean, well-lit environment. I ordered at the kiosk which was efficient. Payment by credit card reduces the time to make change. My combo meal came in a takeout box. The six boneless pieces of shoyu flavored Korean fried chicken turned out to be eight pieces! Thank you! The side I chose was 4 pieces of gimmari - fried, lightly battered nori wrapped around glass noodles. Yum! It took a while to prepare and the chicken wasn't as temperature hot as the gimmari. It was amusing that there's an upcharge for the flavoring of the chicken. Well... it's better than the Dillingham location... LOL! I'm glad I tried it again! read more

If this is Korean fried chicken, I'm a 6'3", 224lb senile white dude, "bing bing bong bong", talking nonsense about stupid windmills, "quiet piggy", doing a toddler tantrum dance. KFC is insanely crispy from a double fried starch coating. This is not. KFC is juicy and tender from brining. This is not. KFC's signature yangnyeom sauce is sweet, sticky, soy, garlic, ginger and gochujang. This is not. Basic fried chicken tenders. Not crispy but well breaded. Not insanely juicy but still moist. The yangnyeom kinda taste like a watery sweet soy sauce with garlic. OK but not what it's supposed to be and might not even measure up to its fast food counter parts. read more

Stopped by Soul Chicken to try the chicken wings for the first time. I'm glad I did! I ordered the three piece fried chicken wings with Yang Nyeom (Mild Spicy) sauce. $8.95 for the 3 piece wings and an additional $1.00 for the sauce! Each part of the chicken wing was @$3.50! The chicken "wing" is only one part of the wing lol. See photo. It is pricey for what you get. Having said that, the taste and crisp of the wings are delicious. A six piece "wing" set will cost you $12.95 plus $1.00 per sauce. Service was slow and this location had only one cook and one cashier. Many orders were coming in and it appeared they were overwhelmed. The ambiance was noisy, crowded at lunch time and a food court vibe. Credit cards only. Business hours- see photo. Side note: if you want to try a full size fried chicken wing, try Lahaina Chicken Company at the Ala Moana Center. It's delicious and very reasonably priced. read more

This place is go good, but pricey for their chicken wings. The first time I tried this place was in downtown on Dillingham. I'm happy that they're closer to home now at Midtown Eats. We had the Chi-Bob (chicken bowl) $13.95. We asked for it with honey sauce + $1. The chicken bowl was delicious. It was bits of fried chicken on white rice with honey sauce, mayo and takuan. It was a pretty big portion, but should be for that price. I will be back to get some wings! read more

Soul Chicken, one of my favorite Korean Fried chicken spots. Original location off of Dillingham has now opened up in the new "Midtown Eats" Food Court located in the Park Condominiums. Not only do they have delicious fried chicken, with bone and without... they have some of the best side dishes. My favorite being the gimmari (only place in Honolulu I know where its made to order). Parking available in the Park. With validation, the first two hours free. Food Court on Keeamoku St. Parking lot accessed off of Liona Street. read more

I've eaten here a couple of times and I think their fried chicken tastes pretty good and every order has been very crispy (despite what other reviews may have said) but I think it's silly that they charge an extra dollar to add any flavor to their chicken. There are only about 4 flavors to choose from plus higher spice levels. My most recent time here I got the chicken sandwich with fries combo and although the honey garlic flavor was yummy, it was hard to justify this meal costing $20 - the size of the sandwich is not that big.. maybe they should include a beverage with the combo to make it worth it. Anyways, the fried chicken is good but I think there are other KFC places in Honolulu that have a better bang for your buck with more variety of notable flavors. If youre at Midtown Eats and you are craving KFC with a beer to watch a game at the bar, it will definitely satisfy your craving read more

Soul Chicken - Honey garlic chicken sandwich + fries = almost $20 - Food Court Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located in Midtown Eats. It's a food hall vibe. You order on the kiosk and pick up at the counter. I loved how when we came up to pick up our order they also gave us a sticker! The chicken is crispy and delicious and so were the fries! I wanted to try the chicken plain with the sauces on the side to dip it in. Even the plain chicken is good and the shoyu sauce made it even better! I can't wait to try more flavors! read more

New restaurant growing pains, it took a long time for the food to come out and I didn't think it was anything special, spent like $30 on 6 pieces plain fried chicken, fries, and a bottle of water. It was fine for the kiddos. read more

Went to locate Midtown eats and the plain fried chicken was excellent. Moist , crispy and freshly made. It took awhile about 15 minutes but they were busy and had at least 4 orders before mine. The man was very nice and the girls were working hard non stop read more

Soul Chicken - 6 piece plain fried chicken $12.95 - Food Court Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Chicken was amazing, maybe the best Korean fried chicken Ive ever had! Service was also great!

Their mini chibob is THE BEST CHICKEN OVER RICE on island Asian styled chicken but not overly oily. Many Korean fried chicken places place too much emphasis on the batter. This place puts emphasis on the chicken. The chicken to batter ratio is chef's kiss. I'm really particular with my chicken. The chibob satisfies that big time read more

It's so expensive for a 3 pc. Chicken is good but 10 dollars for 3 flats is kinda crazy. read more

The fried chicken sandwich was fantastic. It had good flavor. The service was excellent.

Everything tastes amazing. Having a variety of sauces to match your preference is a huge plus.
