Soko Bag, in its first weeks of selling beer and Korean fried chicken from a former pizza parlor in Phoenixville, has an international backstory.

Shea Roggio, who grew up nearby, met South Korean-born J.H. “Alice” Chang in Dubai in 2017. He was working for a company selling green-screen photography to theme parks, and she was a ship broker moving goods all around the world.

Laid off during the pandemic, they flew to Korea. As they got off the plane in Seoul, they were hungry and found a sports bar serving twice-fried Korean fried chicken and beer. Though it was 4:30 in the morning, the place was packed with people chomping boneless chicken and watching international sports on TV.

“When Soko Bag first opened in January of this year in the old Sal’s Pizza Box on Nutt Road in Phoenixville, the lines snaked out the door and into the parking lot. The smallish hybrid sports bar, local brewery and Korean fried chicken joint with a mural of Philly sports heroes done in the style of da Vinci’s Last Supper­ was ordering chicken­ (boneless thighs, all dark meat) a thousand pounds at a time.”

“Burning an afternoon here is like chilling out in a buddy’s man-cave, with the vintage Coke machine and Philly sports on every TV — if that buddy also happened to have a professional kitchen setup and had spent years working out how to make killer Korean fried chicken alongside his Korean-born wife. Because that’s what Roggio did”
