Soonheene & Twozone Chicken

I got beef bulgois and cold noodle. There is barely meat in the bulgois and it make kinda depressed after ordering it. Cold noodle is just cold noodle some sour pairing. The fish tofu soap don’t have any taste to it and only has 3 skewers.. Also make me depressed after eating. Also relatively expensive. I should went to 88 beef noodle to feel more satisfied. But if you love Korean food it should okay. Also restroom is inside the kitchen. Make you feel a bit embrassing to ask go inside the kitchen to use the restroom. There is only one staff outside so it takes a while to get check when it not empty. Overall the experience make me kinda sad for the price I payed. The music is louder than usual. But if you like kpop it is good I guess

If you have a craving for Korean Street Food that’s also Gordon Ramsey @gordongram approved, then look no further than Soonheene in the SGV. They first opened in Seoul in 1994, but have been in Arcadia, California, since 2021🫶🏼 You really do get to know a culture/country through their street food, and I find Korean food to be so rich in their layers of flavors, seasonings and taste🇰🇷 Fun Fact: I graduated from AHS🤭🦚 We had: 🥞Kimchi Mung Bean, 🥩BBQ Beef, 🦐Shrimp Fried Rice, 🍘Mayak Gimbap, 🍗Soy Garlic (10 piece wing), 🍜Spicy Cold Noodle, 🥛Sweet Rice Drink

Perfect place to get your fix! Fresh, quick and delicious. Just like in Korea! Their Gimbap is my favorite!

I had stopped by when they had their grand opening in 2021, but didn't get to order since they were out of what I wanted. They were set up as a pick up and to-go spot, and given the very small parking lot to jostle for a spot, I didn't return until my friend suggested catching up at Soonheene for dinner. They now have several tables for dine in and I was super happy to see that they used bowls and plates for your order if you dine in (though they use disposable utensils when bringing you your order). They also have a self-service area for iced water and iced barley tea and they use metal cups! Yay! I came on a weekday at 6 pm and there was a lull as there was no wait. As it got closer to 6:30 pm - 7 pm, all the tables filled up! Lots of orders coming in for pick-up though, so if you don't want to wait for a table, order to go. Since it's my first time here, I got almost everything, haha! The order included: * shrimp mung bean pancake ($14.99) * #15 combo of rose tteokbokki and mayak gimbap ($23.99) * oden fish cake soup ($9.99) * 5 pc wings soy garlic ($8.99) * diet coke with Yelp check-in If not for the Yelp check-in offer, I would've placed the order on their self-service kiosk. Luckily, since we beat the rush, the food came out at a consistent pace. I had really wanted the mayak gimbap and the fish cake soup but since there was no combo for both, price-wise it made sense to do the combo with the rose tteokbokki. And it is heavenly to get all three! The mayak gimbap comes with a dipping sauce, but it's just as good if not better to dip it in the tteokbokki. If you don't want the usual spice of regular tteokbokki, the rose tteokbokki has been my go-to instead as it has the hint of spice without the usual burn. Soonheene's tteokbokki had very generous amounts of fish cake and sausage suporting the rice cakes, so it's my favorite iteration of this dish thus far. The oden fish cake soup came with three skewers of fish cake and fish cake tofu in a bowl of hot yummy soup and that was pretty solid. I've never had anything like the mung bean pancake and it was good to have a protein in it for additional texture and flavor. It's best eaten when hot and crisp, otherwise, it's a bit dense the next day. The soy garlic wings were crisp and hot and full of flavor. Obviously, the order was enough for two people to get a variety of options, but that did leave no room for some sides nor dessert. Maybe some gimmari and taiyaki next time!

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 one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it spots in an unassuming strip mall, and their wings have quietly become a regular in our takeout rotation. We've only ever ordered them to-go and they've always arrived hot, super crispy, and fresh even after a 20-30 minute drive, which makes eating them straight out of the kitchen feel long overdue and I can't wait to finally stop in.

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.
