    Such a cute restaurant with the nicest workers!! I really liked the ambiance.
    The restaurant has plenty of free parking and self-order kiosks (you can also order from the front counter).

    What I got:
    • pork buns — delicious. i always love snacking on these!
    • medium mix of wings — so delicious, crispy, and crunchy! the wings were full and juicy.
    • takoyaki — not anything special tbh
    • kimchi side — perfect + refreshing.

    I really like how they conveniently serve your food in to-go containers because the portions are so big, you’ll definitely need a box.

    Would I come back? Yes!

    This was our first time here and we really liked it! We both tried the Korean friend chicken. I got the soy garlic and my husband did the soy garlic and spicy. The spicy packed a good amount of heat but manageable for those who enjoy a little kick. Service was great and very fast. Everything was freshly fried so very crispy and full of flavor.

    What Dak has a cozy feel when you walk in. Staffs were friendly and greeted us. We ordered at the register and it was quite easy.

    Korean taco was good, but it wasn’t my flavor. The octopus balls were good and had a creamy texture. Fried chicken wings were nice and crispy. I preferred the hot wings over the garlic soy, but both were amazing. Japchae was decently good. Give this place a try if you haven’t.

    My boyfriend and I love restaurants that are good and quick but aren’t fast food chains. This was a great find! We were greeted right when we walked in, the staff explained the menu for our first visit and made recommendations.

    My boyfriend got the bulgogi with a side of rice and I got the small strips that came with coleslaw. We were able to eat in and felt the space was very clean and our food was brought to us quick!

    A few thoughts: we felt the sides were lacking - we wished we had more balance in the meal other than just the meat. I got half a container or colesalw and I ate it in 3 bites and wished I had more. Had I known portions I would have 100% ordered a side of rice so I didn’t need to eat from my boyfriends. 🫠

    I would love to see maybe 4-6 chicken strips as an option, 8 was way too much for me but my boyfriend ate 3.

    He would have loved to see more rice as well. He felt like he had plenty of the main but more rice would have been a great combination!

    Food allergies: I’m trying out a gluten free diet but sometimes with fried chicken I’m ok. But regardless I would love to see a gluten free option because the FLAVOR WAS SO GOOD! Like even grilled chicken tenders with a sauce over white rice - even just as a “lighter option”.

    We will be back as it was a great experience!

    I went to their soft opening today and their food was delicious!!! We had their wings (half spicy half soy garlic), pork buns, and house fried rice. All were *chefs kiss*!! Some people say korean fried chicken is the best fried chicken in the world, so why not try it here?!
