I can't tell if they had a bad day in the kitchen or if this is how their food is all the time. But for my first experience with them, it wasn't overall pleasing. I get times are hard, but with the way they priced the food, it wasn't worth it honestly. I had ordered the lemon pepper fried catfish strips, they were honestly decent, wish they made their own in house tartar to serve with it instead. I also ordered 6 piece garlic parmesan wings with two sides, mac and cheese and red beans and rices. Wings were small and the sauce over the wings were overpowering and instantly made the chicken lose its crispy texture. Mac and cheese needed more flavoring. Red beans and rice were decent to me as well. I can never pass up banana pudding so I wanted to give it a try... honestly the biggest disappointment of everything I had ordered. No actual bananas in it. No nilla wafers, they put graham crackers instead. It was banana flavored pudding, but right off the bat you know the pudding and whipped cream on top gave super artificial flavor. I wanted to try more items, but everything I had mentioned came up to about $80. I'm glad I didn't lose out on any more money on food I could've made myself at home. I thought I'd pay for convenience but it's true when they say Seattle/WA isn't up to par with Soul Food. I do wish this company well. read more

Without DoorDash, I would never have known about this place (you can also order directly from their website). The food and service were great! I ordered the greens, red beans, and rice with hot sausage, candied yams, and pork chops. Each one was full of flavor and tasted homemade, with all the right seasonings. One of the best soul food spots I've had in Washington. The portion sizes were good and it was overall worth the price. The staff was very friendly and pickup was easy. I'm glad I stumbled upon this place because we will definitely be back. read more

The food was delicious and I plan to come again tomorrow for lunch and tell all of my friends

We got a Groupon for this place and decided to grab dinner here. It's located in the tzar dumpling shop so it looks like they share the kitchen The groupon was for 1lb of catfish with 6 hush puppies. The ordering was a little weird. We called to place our order and they told us to text instead. Also if we pay card, it was $1 charge, but if you pay cash, it has to be exact change... On to the food: The catfish was fresh and hot, but not as flavorful. There was some spice but you can barely taste it. The hush puppies were denser than most but it was flavorful, however some pieces were still cold inside. Price: without the Groupon, it would have been around $20, which is pricy in my opinion. The meal was almost a light meal for 2 people. Overall, it was ok. Not sure I would be back. read more

Soul - Catfish and hush puppies - Soul Food Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Phenomenal! Delicious! I love ordering from here. Expect the food to take a while, but it comes FRESH and fantastic. The collard greens are so well seasoned (a lot of places under salt their collards), the mac n cheese is tasty and comforting, the red beans and rice is everything I want it to be, and the chicken makes my mouth water just LOOKING at it (and the smell! the crunch! have mercy). When I crave fried chicken I want classic country fried--not the saucy stuff most chicken places around Seattle have. I grew up eating southern soul food and was worried Seattle wouldn't have anything to satisfy that craving--but Soul definitely deserves its name! Edit: Forgot to mention how great the portions are! They really pack the sides full-up! read more

Maybe yes and Maybe No l not sure about this place. That's because I drove all the way over there and paid $10.00 to park ( That area is very busy and very little parking is available on the street I had the address and couldn't find the place so I walked into the store another restaurant name with the same address and I guess she has a place inside of another restaurant. I was told that she was closed Today. Bummer I was really looking forward to having a nice meal there. Their hours were posted on Yelp as open today Sunday read more

Delicious ! I ordered this restaurant using uber eats for a traditional Christmas dinner while away on a work trip and I'm glad i did ! The food was mostly flavorful, but overall delicious Lemon pepper catfish: tho small in size, these were my favorite Fries chicken : least flavorful, but made up for the perfect crispy Yams: just delicious Mac and cheese : great for restaurant made ! Greens: also delicious- I'm use to mine being slightly spicy, but these i would get again Banana pudding : this was good Overall if I'm ever in Seattle craving soul food I'd get this again. read more

Soul - Lemon Pepper Fried Catfish Strips Fried Chicken Meal Baked Macaroni and Cheese Collard Greens Candied Yams Banana Pudding - Soul Food Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Ordered via Postmates. I ordered the fried shrimp meal, fried chicken (wing) meal, cornbread and banana pudding. The food was hot and the shrimp/chicken wings were crispy! Banana pudding was yummy, not too sweet. The wings could've used more flavor but nothing a little bit of hot sauce can't take care of. Overall, the food was delicious and I would definitely order again!! read more

The food is SO GOOD. I think the parking is obnoxious, and finding the place (inside another) is confusing. I think the only suggestion I'd have is for the packaging of the food. The mac/yams are too wet for boxes. I think containers would be better for sides. But the food. It's definitely soul food. The fried food is crispy, the Mac and cheese and the candied yams and the plantain all pass the test. If you're craving soul food, get some of this. read more

They really need to get their business together! You have to text your order in and if you call after hours they tell you the hours are online and are rude about it.. Well they have both of these posted online so it really is a disservice to the customers! Sadly the food is great but I'm not sure it's worth all the trouble. Trying to park and p/u is another nightmare... read more

Order twice from them during Covid lockdown and both times food arrived hot and delicious. The fried chicken both times had a nice seasoning with crisp exterior. The hush puppies were moist and I could eat those yams every day. I would not call this health food because it is rich but I felt the ingredients used were quality so I didn't feel crappy afterwards. I'd order from them again because I'm curious about their po' boys (fried oysters, catfish, and shrimp) and their gumbo. They also offer cheesy grits with those same protein choices! They offer red velvet cake for dessert but tbh I always forget! Maybe next time... read more

Whose auntie or granny did you all clone? Because this food is fantastic! We've ordered from here multiple times and it has never disappointed. Everything is so delicious and well-seasoned. We're #TeamNoGateKeeping here, so tell your brother, sister, dad, uncle, and cousin to try this food and enjoy. read more

A generous three... Fried chicken had no seasoning. Caesar salad had a tangy dressing. Small amount of mac and cheese for $11.99. Greens were just ok. Hush puppies and fried fish were the best. The red beans are rice were ok. The wait was pretty long but there might be only one worker... what really topped it for me was our "caramel cake" being a Costco poppy seed muffin with some caramel and whipped cream on top. You can see the muffin liner print. Considering all this, and parking, wouldn't go out of my way to go back. read more

I want to support small business but this place is a joke. I bought Groupon and decided to try this out even thought I am not a fan of the parking situation in this area. I called on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, no one answered, so I decided to just come in store. Also they open from 12 to 5, such short opening hours. After all of the parking hassle, I walked around the block twice, google kept telling me I arrived but I didnt see anything. Figured later Soul shares the same kitchen as Tzar Dumpling, came inside asked and I was told they randomly decided to close today!!! And you text to order, not online not call. I eventually trade in my Groupon. read more

This place is very hard to find (actually located inside another restaurant called Tzar). It's weird that we had to stand outside and text our food order to the people right inside. The food came and for the most part it was tasty. I would definitely recommend the fried foods (fried pork chop, hush puppies, lemon pepper catfish) they were delicious. The other food we had was good but lacked the flavors we were hoping for. read more

We ordered for the first time last night. It was delivered very quickly, with generous portions, and everything was very tasty. Our favorite was probably the fried chicken. Mac and cheese, shrimp and grits were tasty too. The hot link po boy is likely the only thing we wouldn't order again. All in all, very happy with their food and prompt service. read more

This would be a zero star review if I had the option. Besides being rude, the woman I dealt with doesn't know how to run a business. I called to place my order as per the directions on the Groupon. She was annoyed when she answered and told me that they don't accept orders over the phone. She asked me to text. So I texted my order and received a response that my order would be ready in 10 min; I needed to pay $3 via Zelle for taxes; text on arrival and she would have the food "upfront" which I took to mean she would bring it to me. I sent a text just before arriving and waited for 5 min. I then sent my son in. After a few more minutes, he called me telling me to text the Groupon and pay the $3 (which I had already paid). I sent her a screenshot of the Groupon and was in the process of sending the Zelle receipt when she came out. I heard her in the background complaining about how she needed to cook. She came to my car and was in a nasty mood. She said that I need to present the Groupon and pay via Zelle. I showed her my phone with the Groupon text to her and the Zelle receipt. She said she asked me whether I wanted the food or not. Then she told me she didn't like my attitude, twice. So I told her she could give me the food if she wanted. She decided she didn't want to after she commented again that she needed to cook. I am all for supporting a small business, but this woman is unpleasant and there is no way her food tastes good enough for me to deal with her nastiness. If you can't stand the heat... read more

Great food! Crispy Catfish, tasty hush puppies, savory beans and rice, and the best red velvet cake I've had in a while! Nice portions, I had leftovers in pic after me and my wife ate until full! Awesome customer service as well; they have definitely earned my ongoing business as this was my first time having their delicious food. Keep up the good work! read more

Soul - Large portions! My leftovers after 2 people ate! - Soul Food Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

i really wish i could support this business but I just cant. Tried something new catering for a business meeting. I got po boys and a tray of fries with a few sweet teas off of ezcater. the fries were inedible, not cooked. the po boys were bland, the fried oyster po boys did not taste fresh. i ate it because i was starving but then wondered if i was going to get sick from it. the sweet tea I imagined would be legit sweet tea but they were arizona canned sweet teas. pretty disappointed. I would say imagine the hospital cafeteria trying to do soul food and this might be what you get. read more

First, it was confusing because the address for Soul turned out to be a different restaurant entirely. Pel Meni Dumpling Tsar was the actual restaurant, with a completely different menu. There was no signage anywhere that indicated Soul. That's pretty sketchy. As for the food. It was ok. But not great. I had the pork chop meal with collards and red beans and rice. I felt they could have used spices. A little heat (pepper) for example would turn the collards from dull to interesting. I also felt like takeout prices in Seattle in general are grossly overpriced and this was no exception coming to $26 with tax and gratuity. read more

You would think a place with the name of "Soul" would know how to cook soul food. I ordered the Pork Chop Meal with mac&cheese and hush puppies. The hush puppies were okay and the mac&cheese tasted good, but was greasy. But the Pork Chops! OMG, they were tough as nails, not the least bit tender as pork chops should be, and completely inedible! I tried eating them but they were like leather! I couldn't cut them, even with a sharp knife. I wouldn't even let my dog taste them, and I threw them out. These people better learn how to cook and please their customers or they won't be around for long. This was a colossal waste of my hard-earned money. I am disgusted. read more

I started off with VERY high expectations for an eatery named Soul. Once my mother and I arrived I called, and the woman that answered informed me that we would need to place our order online. My mother and I started our order but realized once it was placed that the amount of time it would take to make it would cut it real close to my flight time. I called the shop back and informed the woman that answered that I could not pick up my food and I would need to cancel the order I placed 2mins before. She informed me she couldn't cancel it and it would need to cancelled through the app I placed it with. I called grub hub and they wouldn't cancel it because the eatery marked it as ready. I called Soul back and the woman told me she already started the food and wouldn't stop until grub hub tells her too. She then proceeded to talk over me as I tried to reason with her, and even told me grub hub called her about this same issue. Ultimately she refused to continue making an order I clearly told her I couldn't pick up. As well as inform me that she owned this place but couldn't do anything about it. She was VERY rude, heartless and barely had any manners. Ending the call after basically telling me it's sucks to suck. read more

I ordered the fried chicken with mac and cheese from Soul using Peach delivery to my office building. I usually don't write reviews for delivery because I don't feel like you get the full experience but I had to make an exception to this because I found a hair in my food. This is very surprising to me because after reading some of the other reviews, I noticed that another person also had the same complaint. Very disappointing to see such a mistake happen fairly frequently even though they've been told before about it. read more

ehhhh... I dont like this place. The moment I walked inside it looked gross, dirty and unprofessional. The atmosphere is sad and pathetic and the food is not good.

They have morals but it's just a poor business model and bad product. read more

The chicken and waffles that I ordered the chicken was wonderful but the waffle on the other hand tasted freezer burned...The waffle was so hard that it kind of scratched my gums...

I ordered this place from Uber eats. I live 10 minutes away. It took 1hr 20 minutes for the restaurant to finish preparing it. Driver delivered fast. Total time: 1hr 30 minutes. Fried Catfish was pretty terrible, and was a really small portion. Mac and cheese was okay and the reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1. read more

First of all, you must know that this is INSIDE the Tzar restaurant -- there is no signage to indicate that this is where you should be. I got the mac and cheese, greens, and hush puppies. Everything was just okay, the greens were my least favorite. If your greens touch your hush puppies though (like mine were) they will be soggy and lose the tasty crunch you want. Also, the hours on Google/Yelp are not right, but the people are nice about it. If a friend was getting food from here I might have them grab me something but I probably wouldn't go out of my way. read more

We had a large order for a 15 person dinner party and the owner was awesome in accommodating the large order on short notice. The gumbo was delicious and the fried catfish was great.

According to Yelp, this location has closed, but I understand there is a location in Fremont now. We ordered from here last night through Uber eats because I was craving fried catfish. Everything came hot and delicious! The catfish was AMAZING! I'm so glad I bought two fillets instead of just one. The cornmeal breading on the catfish was seasoned beautifully and the fried fish was still crispy when I got it. The macaroni and cheese was delicious also, and the yams and red beans and rice were super tasty! Hush puppies and collard greens were ok. I would definitely order from here again! read more

Terrible place to go the rice had wayy to much liquid in it & with the beans on top were a disappointment. It's suppose to be sweet beans ontop not normal brown beans. Also the Mac n cheese was too cheesy n also oily & you can taste it with each bite. The fried chicken was super dry to the point 2 sips of a drink still didn't help to swallow. Only thing I liked from there that was good was the gumbo they could have done better. However it wasn't bad & I really was surprised on the taste of it especially with the shrimp. They also make sure to take out the shrimp poop before hand which I love because I know a lot of places don't n people don't even know there's still poop in the shrimp they eat. Only good thing once again is gumbo I don't think I would go bacc tho honestly. Almost the whole meal was bad n that is never a good sign. read more
