What an incredibly wholesome vibe at So Good All in 1. Literally Mom and Pop, the entire experience was catered by a mother and father duo serving up authentic made-to-order soul food and Filipino dishes that vary based on the day of the week.
We came in on a Sunday. I'm not the most well versed in soul food, but I came for a good representation to show my wife as we were on a road trip through The South. After trying their catfish, collard greens, and candied yams, I was blown away. This place actually elevated my opinion of what soul food could be.
We also had their Adobo Chicken, pancit, and steamed rice. I have more experience with Filipino food, and this stuff is legit. Even the streamed rice by itself was far more flavorful than I expected. If you're from The South, you want to try something different, and you've never had Filipino food, this place is a great place to give it a try. It really doesn't disappoint.
Ultimately, the marriage between the Soul and Filipino signature dishes was as sweet as the one between the two chefs at So Good All in 1. If you like home-cooked meals, warm service, supporting local American family-owned businesses, please come support this...
Read moreThe second I walked in, I felt like I had just been adopted into the world’s friendliest family. The welcome was so warm I half expected them to hand me slippers and a plate before I even sat down.
And the food? Let me tell you… the Chicken Adobo Mac and Cheese with greens and sweet potato nearly took me out. I wasn’t eating it—I was trying to survive it. It was so good I forgot how to breathe, chew, and blink all at the same time. Flavors were hitting me from every direction like they had personal beef with my taste buds. The mac and cheese wasn’t just cheesy, it was straight-up disrespectful—in the best way. The sweet potato tasted like somebody’s grandma whispered a prayer over it. And the greens? Let’s just say Popeye would’ve turned into Superman.
This place doesn’t just serve food—they serve life-changing experiences. Five stars? Please. If I could, I’d give them an entire constellation. If you haven’t been yet, you are absolutely depriving yourself of joy, flavor, and possibly your new...
Read moreThe place is a bit funky inside but the food is delicious and the service incredible. A husband and wife duo run the place. The wife does the cooking and you can tell she takes pride in her food. I went on a Sunday and got the beans and rice with meat (kind of like gumbo) with a side of pansit (phillipino rice noodles) and collard greens. I also got a side of chicken Lumpia (similar to an egg roll but better) and an Arnold Palmer made with their homemade lemonade and sweet tea. Everything was absolutely delicious. It all cost me $27 but I had a ton of food that my toddler and I shared for two meals. I'm from Los Angeles where there is a ton of delicious food to choose from and I wish they had one of these there. If I lived in the area this would become a regular spot on my rotation. I also love to support local...
