The food is excellent. Made to order, super crispy chicken. The staff are always friendly, accommodating, and the decor is cool. The buffalo wrap is off the hook. Their blue cheese dip is perfect for my taste buds. I think they've got a sauce for every heat level, from 0 to blazing. There are only a few takeout places I'll go, I absolutely adore dakdak. read more

We went to Dak Dak for the first time since we went to Villa Park for an event. We were both pleasantly surprised by how delicious their wings were! Ratings: Bone in wings: 4.8/5 perfect crisp and flavor! Sauces: 4/5 we really liked the soy garlic, Dak Dak, and the ranch! Cole slaw: 2/5 it's not as creamy/sweet like traditional Cole slaws it's more of a regular slaw Sweet potato fries: 5/5 perfectly crispy and yummy! House fries: 4/5 good but sweet potato fries were way better! Radish: 2/5 not like Korean pickled radish - lacked normal sweetness Ambiance: the spot is more of a take out spot. There's a few seating but not many! It is great for a quick meal. We will for sure swing by again for wings if we are nearby! read more

Dak Dak Wings - Bundle Bone-In Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

Five star service, five star flavor. I was at another business within this strip mall when Joey, the owner came in and mentioned to the staff that he had salted their entrance. It was a super snowy day, and Joey went out of his way to help a neighbor. I was curious what Joey sold, so I walked into his store. Him and his partner, Rachel, run a Korean fried chicken store. Their chicken is off the charts flavorful. It's pretty simple, with just a small handful of flavors. The chicken is fresh, not frozen, and they do a really good job and clearly put a lot of heart into the food. Fairly limited menu, with just boneless and bone in chicken. A bunch of very tasty sides as well. But they do a limited number of things very well. Pricing is reasonable. You get what you pay for, and this is very high-quality stuff. Great customer service. And Joey is a great guy. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Dak Dak Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

I've been to another location before, and just like the last, it was delicious. The flavors are very unique and the more traditional ones are closer to how they should be then pretty much every other place I have had in Illinois. The gochujang is prominent and you can tell the flavors apart well. The chicken has been fried consistently each time, and I can always look forward to it one I want to come here. The establishment itself is rather small, but most people I'm sure do take out. What really puts this at 5 stars is the service. The person in the front taking the order was always friendly and helpful. Don't know if that is the policy, but it's great to see the enthusiasm when ordering. read more

Dak Dak Wings - Duck Fat Buffalo and Seasonal Pecan Flavor Boneless Wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

We had Dak Dak Wings' food when they were serving food recently at Standard Meadery. SO GOOD! We both loved the duck fat buffalo boneless wings: so flavorful! And the sweet potato fries were probably the best I had ever had: savory, not sweet, and extremely crunchy. Yum! We'll definitely have to go to their regular location to check out their full menu. read more

Dak Dak Wings - Duck fat buffalo wings and amazing sweet potato fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

I can never get enough of Dak Dak. By far the best wings around. Double fried along with the fries - they are to die for. The sweet potato fries are demolished as soon as they come. I always go boneless wings which are sizeable and filling. Cannot get enough of their dill ranch. I always get extra because I could drink that stuff. My only request is more sauces! I typically mix the Buffalo and Soy Garlic, but I wouldn't say there's a sauce I particularly love. It's a very clean and small space, so I always go the takeout route and everything is still hot when I get home. Their bundle deal is great and feeds a family of three. Comes with a ton of sauces, some coleslaw, and pickled goodies. read more

Have been meaning to try Dak Dak for a long time and finally got the chance tonight. It didn't disappoint. It was fresh and tasty. We got boneless & bone in and liked them both. Coleslaw was delicious. Didn't try the fries but will next time. Would definitely return ! read more

The wings were amazing and their ranch I believe had dill in it, perfect sauce!! The server she was also amazing she took the time to explain the mild chicken. Dak dak wings were perfect only had a zing to it so not hot. Just perfect. I work next door to them and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Friendly staff, great food and great timing. Definitely recommend read more

Simple review for a simple place. 1) GO HERE We got the 20 wing bundle which had 20 wings and comes with every sauce to try; along with a huge order of regular fries, a huge order of battered sweet potato fries, coleslaw, and pickled radishes! The boneless wings are cut from chicken thighs and so full of dark, juicy meat and battered right there!!! Hot and juicy and oh so good!! We have family coming in from out of state this week and plan on ordering from here. Ask for an extra cup of the duck fat buffalo sauce - ahmazing!!!! Very clean and super friendly staff! This place is THE place you want to go for chicken!! read more

Dak Dak Wings - The Bundle - a little of everything!!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

See all

When you walk in, there are only 5 seats available so either plan on getting a take out or wait a little bit for other people to leave so you can dine in. Customer service is a perfect 5/5. You can tell they really care about their customers and they provide the best service possible. We got the bundle with 20 bone in wings. 10 soy n garlic and 10 sweet n spicy. It comes with cole slaw and 2 types of fries. You also get 4 dipping sauces. Wings were crunchy, flavorful, and meaty. They're a lot bigger than the ones you find at bdubs. They're fresh not old. Pro tip: check in with Yelp and you get free fries with a purchase. They give you a lot of fries. Fries are not burnt. Soy n garlic 5/5 Sweet n spicy 5/5 Sweet potato fries 5/5 - a must. They're perfectly crunchy. Bigger than the regular fries. House fries 4/5 - they were pretty tasty with the dipping sauces. I wouldn't mind trying the seasoned fries next time. I would come back again. read more

We got the bundle deal with 20 bone in wings. We got the 10 soy and garlic and 10 sweet and spicy wings. Their batter for the wings were a little thicker than other Korean fried chicken wings. It made their wings more crunchy than others. We also got their sweet potato fries that were very good. I would highly recommend getting that. The staff is friendly. Service is fast and friendly. This place is mostly for take out because they only have five seats available and no public bathroom. I would come back again. read more

If you're looking for good fried chicken, I highly recommend Dak Dak. Since I've moved to Chicago, I've had a hard time finding a good Korean chicken place and am so excited to have found Dak Dak! We ordered 20 piece boneless wings - 5 wings of each of the 4 flavors. These were unexpectedly HUGE pieces of boneless wings - our group of 3 were left absolutely full. The chicken was so well fried that it was still crunchy even after its generous coating of sauce. I liked that their boneless wings were dark meat - well cooked, juicy and tender. One thing I would like to really praise is their sauces. Dak Dak uses gochujang, which is a staple in most Korean recipes and sometimes it can be hard to work with, especially fusion recipes. The gochujang is used so well in their sauces that it's not overpowering in taste. Very well balanced. Their pickled radish was also very well made - definitely recommend getting the side! We also got to try their sweet potato fries, which the owner mentioned "some people come back just for these fries". And... I may be one of those people. These fries are fried like fried chicken. They're amazing - savory + crunchy on the outside, soft + sweet on the inside. I absolutely loved them. Definitely one of the best sweet potato fries that I've ever tried. We had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the owner. He has so much enthusiasm for his business and food. We loved Dak Dak and we will definitely be back! read more

This place is great! Boneless and bone in chicken are perfectly cooked, excellent sauces. My only qualm is the coleslaw is really really dry, maybe that's the Midwesterner in me, but I think it might just be a couple days old. read more

The food was great! Wings were naked with various dips/sauces. And then there was the teriyaki wings with sesame seeds.. OMG- Fantastic! Also try the loaded French fries and the sweet potato fries. Excellent! Joey (owner) and Jacob were very welcoming. We ordered take out as a Group and we all really enjoyed it. Bill Wehrle read more

Unassuming little store bursting with flavor. Everything had an amazing light, crispy batter, even with the sauce coatings (I shall refer to them as glazed). They're super nice about making batches with different glaze options. We ordered a 20 piece with 5 pieces per glaze to maximize the tasting. We got all the dipping sauces (Dak dak sauce, ranch, chili crisp, garlic aioli) to test out with the glazes. The ranch had fresh green herbs and paired nicely with the Better Than Buffalo glaze. My fav was the garlic aioli, subtle and creamy. All the glazes seem to have a vinegar base so they pair very well with the creamy dipping sauces which help balance and mellow out the tang. Personal favorites were Soy N Garlic and Sweet N Spicy. The boneless pieces were much larger than I had been expecting. Usually I feel like they're more like nuggets but this seemed like deboned thighs marinated, battered, and fried. They were extremely juicy and tender. We also got their sweet potato fries which were bomb! Light and crispy outside, soft and pillowy inside. The outside seemed lightly seasoned so you can really enjoy the natural sweetness and flavors of the sweet potato itself. No dip required. Highly recommend! There is only a small counter table area, so mostly built for takeout. Service is fast and friendly. read more

Dak Dak Wings - Eating area with 5 chairs. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

Ordered take-out and it was ready within 30min! The people there were friendly and interacted with you as soon as you walked in. There isn't much space to sit and stay to eat, but there are two small tables with chairs. The Wings have a good tempor breading and very crispy. Chicken thighs were used to make the boneless chicken wings so it made a difference in the flavor! The selection of sauces is great and on a wide range, making them great for all spice-level palettes! Their sweet potato fries had the tempor breading as well and were cooked so the outside was crispy but the inside was soft. They are a must try place for dinner out! read more

LISTEN, By far the best Wings I've ever had!!!! Flavors are amazing!!!! The staff is very friendly and also very helpful also when you can't decide on what flavor to choose from!!! I drive all the way from st Charles to pick these wings up it's worth the drive!!! read more

Dak Dak takes crispy to a whoooole other level!! The batter on the wings is so crispy and thick that even when you reheat the next day, it still has a crunch to it lol. The wings were juicy and not overdone, perfectly cooked! Decent sized wings too. My bf ordered the family pack to-go and all the sauces were on the side. The wing sauces are: soy n garlic, sweet n spicy, gochujang BBQ and better than buffalo. All of the flavors tasted good, but they were just a tad bit sweet. Our favorites were soy n garlic and buffalo. I imagine it would be even tastier when the wings are coated in the sauce rather than us just dipping it in haha but still really delicious nonetheless and happy we got to try them all! We also got a side of sweet potato fries and house fries. Although the wings were good, the sweet potato fries were the star of the show for sureee!! They would rank in the top 3 best sweet potato fries I've EVERRR had. The house fries are your standard shoe-string type fries; nothing crazy. I'd go for the seasoned fries next time or get the sweet potato fries again haha. Their Dak Dak sauce reminded me of spicy mayo, and it was a really good dipping sauce for fries/wings. And the ranch, OH MAN, SO GOOD. I think they put dill in it or something, definitely not your standard ranch but I would petition to have that bottled and sold. The coleslaw is a 5/5 stars, there's something special I can't figure it out but it's much better/creamier than other coleslaws I've tried. Very refreshing along with the pickled radish. My top recommendations: Soy N Garlic sauce on wings instead of the side, sweet potato fries, and coleslaw. These wings were bombbb, extremely crunchy so I'd say proceed with caution if you have difficulty chewing or dental related concerns hahah read more

We were so excited to try Dak Dak Korean Wings, but it did not live up to our expectations. We ordered the Gochujang bbq bone-in wings, Buffalo bone-in wings, and an order of house fries. Our order also came with the following sauces: ranch, dak dak, and garlic aioli. We were also given pickled radishes and didn't try them since we don't care for radishes. The wings themselves are tender and a good size. Also, the bone-in wings had a nice crunchy exterior with a tender interior. They were cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. Where they came up very short and disappointing was the sauce they were covered in. The Buffalo was extremely HOT and overwhelming. I would skip those. The Gochujang bbq bone-in wings had a different taste too and we didn't care for it. Our fries were packed and a good amount, but unfortunately they were burnt and super dry. They were obviously in the fryer for way too long. Quite disappointing. The sauces were interesting. The ranch tasted more like a dill dip. The dak dak sauce basically tasted like Thousand Island dressing. The garlic aioli tasted like mayo with infused garlic. The staff is super friendly and that is honestly why 3 stars were given, otherwise it would be 1. They are super kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match our expectations and I'm not quite sure we will give them another chance. read more

Amazing wings, they don't skimp on anything. I got the Soy Garlic wings. The salty from the soy and the garlic was a perfect balance.

Another 5-star experience led by Rachel along with Jacob and Joe. Big Boss Joey was busy elsewhere but the shop was in great hands! Remember to keep the box flaps open to maintain the crispiness... way more important than having the wings hot. Place is always extremely clean and orderly! Thank you Dak Dak Team for delicious wings with positive smiling attitudes. read more

Was in the mood for some fried chicken and found this hidden gem on Yelp. The flavors of the wings were unique and outstanding. My personal favorite was the sweet n spicy. A little heavier on the breading side as these wings are double fried but altogether a great choice for Korean flavored wings in the suburbs. It's a takeout friendly wings place with around 5 stools for seating and no restroom. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Overall it was an excellent meal! read more

Better than Buffalo should be renamed to "you're going to cry it's so hot". Loved the soy garlic! I love buffalo but they were just too hot for me, my husband loved it tho. We also got sweet potato fries and I actually didn't want to share after trying them. The wings are MASSIVE and juicy, it was good stuff. I'm full after 3 wings and half a bag of fries (I ended up sharing ). read more

Just fries and wings - small menu, executed perfectly. Like a better, asian inspired Raising Cane's. Mostly a to-go shop with around 6 seats but they also have some cool chicken are inside. Owner was super friendly and passionate. Big wings so it ends up being a ton of food for the price. We got 15 boneless wings with 3 different flavors. All were delicious, crispy outside with a very moist inside. Great quality meat with tasty, complex sauces. Gochujang BBQ my favorite, it was like an asian mole sauce. The super savory Soy Garlic was my wife's favorite, and the Sweet and Spicy wings had a little sweet kick. They had a similar base between them but all great. The home-made dipping sauces were excellent as well. The dak dak was like a gochujang spicy mayo and the ranch had a good amount of dill which i like. Perfect for the seasoned fries we got. Barring any apocalypse in the near future we will be back as should you if you like chicken and flavor. read more

They are tasty but too expensive and too small for the price. The service was fast too.

Have to bump up to five stars. Tried the boneless bundle this time. The chicken was excellent. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Also, sampled the mango habanero sauce. Nice flavor. It was hot. I love hot. The sides were great again. The service was friendly again. The place is also very clean. That's important to me. Check them out. read more

Dak Dak Wings - The bone-in bundle. Lots of food. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

We visited on a Saturday night around 5pm. The restaurant has just opened, and they had two cooks in the back and one cashier working in the front. There were four chairs, mostly for a waiting area, so I think they're mostly a carry-out place. Their take on Korean chicken is a little different from Choong Man (Glenview) and bbq Chicken (Buffalo Grove). Most Korean fried chicken have sauces coated on the chicken and are double fried in olive oil and breaded, but it seems like this place is more of a fusion, with some variety of Korean flavors and the Nashville hot chicken (sauce on the side) sort of vibe. The sauces were mediocre, but I did like the quality and seasoning of the original chicken without the sauce. My husband and I ordered 20 traditional wings, but they gave us some extra, maybe because they just opened. Here's my honest take on the sauces: Soy Garlic Sauce - 3/5 mostly soy sauce, should actually probably have a bit more sugar/sweetener added, needs more garlic. Good consistency. Sweet and Spicy - 4.5/5 probably the best sauce. If you're ordering sauces, make sure you get this one. Gochujang Sauce - 1/5 vinegar? Gochujang? Wasn't sure what the last bit was... maybe Buffalo sauce? It wasn't my favorite. The pickled radish was probably the most authentically Korean item on the menu, but they didn't get the cube shape right. For those looking for fusion food or a safe intro to Korean food, feel free to stop by Dak Dak in VP, but I would recommend you get authentic Korean fried chicken from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. read more

Crispiest wings ever! Speaking of Crisp, there may be a new sheriff in town when it comes to Korean wings, and its Dak Dak! We were in town to watch some hockey games. As we usually do, we look for places to eat on the way or near our destination. Dak Dak jumped out for some positive reviews and we love wings. First of all we need to give a shout out to Joey for his outstanding customer service! Over the course of the next couple of days, we visited Joey two more times. Joey was very helpful and friendly! Then there are those wings. Fantastic! We had some before the game. Those wings somehow were still crunchy at home after the game. Perfectly fried with great flavor. Over a couple of days we tried all their flavors. Our favorites were the Soy N Garlic and the Sweet N Spicy although the Gochujang BBQ was also pretty tasty. The Better than Buffalo is not only better than Buffalo, they are also spicier. Others have commented on the homemade ranch dressing. This is absolutely true! Some of the best ranch dressing that I have ever had. And yes I did sip some directly from the cup. It is that good! Now the bad news. We live in the wrong state. The good news is we visit a few times a year and are already looking forward to visiting Joey and picking up some more wings! read more

First I'll start with the service. When we first arrived the young man, that I believe was the manager, greeted us and asked if we had any questions. I ordered the hot honey wings and my wife the gochujang wings. This was our first time here. We also ordered sweet potato fries and the cucumber salad. Everything was amazing. Honestly, just about the best wings I've ever had. My wife said the same of hers. Well covered in sauce, super flavorful and very crispy. Without question, the best sweet potato fries I've eaten. They were coated in what was like a tempura coating, light and crispy. We had one order, which we shared, but after tasting them wished we had each gotten one. We will definitely be going back to try the other wing flavors. read more

Ordered the boneless wings bundle. I'll start off by saying holy crap, for $30, you get a ton of food. Probably enough for a family of 4. The wings themselves are huge, along with 2 big bags of fries and coleslaw. I will say the wings themselves are the best part of the kit. A ton of meat with a good amount of breading. Great crunch. The sauces were not that good. Mediocre at best. The fries were good but the sweet potatoes fries weren't that good. Didn't have any sweet potato flavor. Coleslaw was horrible. Probably best as drunk food! read more
