Not what I expected when I walked in but fried chicken mix was great. Collards, not as good as mine, but above average. Slight hint of something special going on there in the seasoning. No hog in it which I don’t eat anymore anyway. Definitely made from fresh greens. Black eyes peas were good, on the plain side but finished them all. Cornbread is worth going back for. Subtle sweet in it was good, not too sweet, and it was like cake, not dry and crumbly. Impressed enough to leave a review. And I feel like I underpaid. Way better than some trash back home in North Carolina.Kid-friendliness: They got kids in there so yeah it’s kid friendly.

I'm happy that the Asian American owners and/or operators here attempt to make soul food. I applaud their efforts here. The food is good. Unfortunately this is not soul food.

The food is actually pretty good for an ASIAN owned/operated establishment, I was pleasantly surprised ?I would have liked an actual beverage selection besides can soda or bottled soda though ,but other than that, invest a little more money into the place make it pop out. I would have never found it on the corner of a tiny sp block. Get some ore beverages. Quick tip on the Mac: more milk, butter,&cheese please.

Staff was friendly, but the food was so bland. It had so much potential but it's definitely missing that umph! The cornbread which tastes like cake was straight. Just too sweet in my opinion though.
service quick and polite. they're definitely trying with the soulfood.

Ok, so you might be thrown off by the fact that this soul food place has Asian workers and cooks... BUT the food tasted exactly how soul food is supposed to taste! Honestly the best soul food I've had in years (I live in L.A.) I got the catfish platter with Mac and cheese, cabbage, and cornbread. Everything had great flavor and they give good portions! They made sure to include hot sauce packets and it came in a nice cloth bag. My total came to $15 which is a really great price , because soul food platters usually cost like $20-$25. Overall I definitely recommend this place!(These are my honest opinions , I was not paid to write this review)

MINUS 1 Star: How do you give a minus star review. How is it possbile to make mac and cheese with no cheese. LIke when we walked in the door I know something was not right about Soul Boat. No music, no decor no black people. When I think of Soul food that is what comes to mind. I learned my lesson I will no longer not cook on Sundays wanting a hearty dinner. Sink the boat. The black eye peas were out of a can with not a grain of salt nor a clove of garlic. How in the world wide sea can an Asian restaurant make hard gummy rice. LIke who know that wa a thing? Sink the boat.

Fried fish is fried to perfection. Candied yams are not bad either.
