Soonheene & Twozone Chicken

My wife and I are crazy about Korean fried chicken. Which this place opened near our favorite mochinut place, we knew we would have to check it out - and we were not disappointed! This place definitely ranks in the top two fried chicken places we've been to!

We had a whole chicken - half original and half with their special Onion sauce (slices of onion with an onion mayo dressing). The flavor of the chicken was delicious, flavorful, and was nicely crispy!

We also had their Rose Tteokbokki and Mayak Gimbap. The Mayak was really nice! The Rose Tteokbokki was absolutely delicious!

Everything here is really good. Do know that the service was a little slow, but only because everything is made fresh to order. It's very much worth the wait!

SOONHEENE is a very famous place in South Korea.
I was so excited that I ordered most of the menu and everything was delicious! In particular, the mung bean pancake, rose tteokbokki, and donkatsu are fantastic. All the staff were friendly and provided good service as well 👍

Loved the traditional mung bean pancake and Ttubboki! You can ask them to make your ttubbki mild spicy if you want. The oden soup was okay. Nothing special. Mayak kimbop was decent. I prefer classic mung bean pancake over seafood one. Seafood one has only shrimp in it and it’s more expensive. Service was okay.

The first two times I visited, everything was excellent, but not today. The customer service was perfect like usual. They increased the price which I understand but the foods quality definitely go down. With a thick layer of fried powder, there is hardly any chicken inside. There is a lot of wasabi in the gimbap sauce too...

Their seafood pancakes are to die for! So delicious! The Gimbap was pretty good too! Fish cake, don’t leave it in the soup too long unless you are eating right away. It’ll get too soft! The ttheobokki was a bit spicy for me. So if you like a bit of a kick, get it! Dip the Gimbap in it and it’s delish! Next time I go, I’d have to try their new dishes! Parking is difficult since it’s a really small plaza with lots of food! So do get there early!

Got the combo with the tteokboki, odeng fishcake, and mayak kimbap (30.99). Also got the mungbean pancake (9.99). There was no wait to order when I went since I went for an early dinner, and the food was ready in about 15 minutes. The service was pretty good since the employee saw me waiting outside and brought my order to me, which was very kind of them to. As for the taste of the food, the tteokboki was a bit spicy was acceptable (even though I normally can't handle spice). The rice cake was nice and chewy. The fish cake was alright, nothing special. The mungbean pancake didn't have a special taste, just tasted like a fried pancake. There were only 4 slices but they were thick so didn't feel too small. The kimbap was my favorite of the three- it was nice and bite sized but also nothing really special about its taste. Overall, this was a decent meal but pretty pricey for the portions you get. Worth trying though if you're into korean street food!

My only complaint is that they don't have a restroom for customers. Oden fishcake soup was comforting. Mayak gimbap was refreshing. Tteokbokki was filling. I enjoy our seafood Mung Bean pancake and pork Mung Bean pancake; it were deliciously crispy. But don't expect this crispiness if you order it to go.

I also tried their pork meat ball pancakes. It were very hearty. I'd say out of the 5 dished we ordered, pork Mung Bean pancake was my favorite.

Food here is phenomenal 😋. The fried chicken is a must try/get. They're really crispy and each bite leaves you salivating for more. The doppokkki is tasty however it is not spicy as one might think it would be. Its got lots of other ingredients that aren't usually incorporated in this type of dish: fish cake, sausages, bacon, etc.

Self service restaurant and you have to clean up after yourself.

Soonheheene has amazing food! Every dish I’ve tried has been delicious, and the flavors are always on point. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a meal. However, I was a bit disappointed to find out they no longer make taiyaki. It was one of my favorites, and I always looked forward to it! I still love the food here, but I hope they bring back the taiyaki sometime soon.

The seasoning was very off, and it tastes like dog food.

6월25일 11시50분에 전화주문한 거 픽업하러갔는데 어린 여자 종업원이 딱히 기분이 안좋은 얼굴로 음식을 포장해주길래 그런가보다 하고 차에 도착후 수저와 젓가락이 없길래 들어가서 그녀에게 손짓으로 수저를 달라고 했는데 아무 대꾸도 없어서 직접 수저와 젓가락을 들고 나왔다. 투고음식에 수저와 젓가락은 손님이 직접 넣어야 되는군요 몰랐어요.상당히 불쾌하다.

Simply put, they are ripping off their customers with unbelievably inflated prices. Service has been deteriorating recently as well. Would not be surprised if this place is closed soon.
분식 팔면서 바가지를 씌우고 있네요. 요즘은 그렇게 친절하지도 않고...어묵 (오뎅탕) 맛은 최악이었습니다. 가격 낮추지 않으면 곧 망할겁니다.

One of our favorite korean chicken. Still the server forgot to give us the sauces. It’s better to double-check when you get your pick up order.

玫瑰辣年糕果然很意麵風味，很香很好吃👍🏻 紫菜包飯很清爽也小巧，但份量足夠，最讚的是配的醬汁，芥末味超爽口，一口就驚艷，我和先生都很愛～推薦必點～ 炸雞酥脆醬汁濃郁，份量也比別家的多，總體超值

Not a lot of places do Korean Street food, so this is definitely unique! The physical space is small and the parking lot of also small, so good luck!

Seat yourself after ordering at the counter. Water is also self serve. Disposable utensils and napkins are at the tables. Service was very fast and portions are fair. The tteokbokki is nice and chewy. The fried chicken is probably the highlight of the menu, it was super tasty and crunchy! The gimbap was my favorite, the best I've had in a long time.

Do NOT waste your money at this place! I can't speak anything about chicken since I didn't order their chicken. But, my God Mayak Gimbab was really disappointing!!! It was EXTREMELY difficult to park in their lot. And, that small portion of Mayak Gimbap for $11.02. And, it wasn't so good either. What a waste of money, time, and energy to find a parking to eat at this place! The owner had a family gathering there and didn't care about her customer. She had a scary and mean face. I am not here to judge people since they might go through some life issues.
However, the price for that little skinny Gimbab was too much and the food was really so so.
The girl who worked at this place was nice and pleasant.

This place is freaking DELICIOUS! Hands down the best Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had. Doesn’t matter where I go, I feel sleepy and heavy after having Korean fried chicken. Not the case here. The chicken was so moist, crispy, and light! Honey butter is my new favorite flavor.

Come here if you’re craving fried chicken, it’s worth it.

My wife has been wanting to try the Rose Tteokbokki when she sees it in one of her K dramas. Soon enough on Yelp, we see this famous Netflix feature Korean street food place in Arcadia, WOW.... Definitely have to try it. We ordered the Rose Tteokbokki & Oden soup combo, Mayak Gimbap and Mung Bean pancake. They were all awesome, however, the Oden soup is not worth it, in my opinion. If you order the Oden by itself, it costs 8.99 and it only contains 2 skewers. But the rest are excellent, esp the Rose Tteokbokki, it is so creamy, my wife and I love it very much.

Delicious and authentic Korean street food. Make sure to try the rice drink which is perfectly sweet and refreshing. The mung bean pancakes, stir fried rice cakes, and fish cake soup are also some personal favorites. Really, try to order a bit of everything to get the full experience.

The service is also great and super friendly. It's a fun place to have a casual lunch and when you're done, there are mochi donuts just around the corner for dessert!

Never would I ever imagine seeing a restaurant in the SGV, excluding Rowland Heights area, to be serving authentic Korean street food. It brings back so many memories of traveling to Korea and walking to random streets and seeing numerous vendors selling the exact same dishes they serve here at Soon Hee Ga. While I've never been or even heard of the OG location at the Korean Street Market in Seoul, friends have told me it's legit good. Every dish we ordered was great and filled the two of us up. My favorite was their sweet rice drink, since I haven't had that in years. There used to be a Korean restaurant in the CVS/Aldi plaza down the street back in the early 2000s that served that drink as a dessert. If I'm not mistaken, they used to occupy what is now Half & Half or the Fork Over Pork shop. Since they've closed, there hasn't been a Korean restaurant that served it as a dessert (for free too!). Soon Hee Ga does a fantastic job making this rice drink and I can literally drink it all day long during the summer months. Everything else we ordered complimented well with the spicy rice cake sauce too, unless you can't handle spicy dishes. Give this place a shot if you're local because it'll save you time going to Ktown for the exact same stuff.
