Delicious bone in chicken with a crispy crust and moist interior. I really liked it. I got mine the original way and had a sauce on the side. I prefer hot sauce myself. The weight was about 20 minutes. They were super busy. I suggest calling in and taking out. I loved their pickled radish. The service was really nice and the place is clean even though it's very busy. I highly suggest you just eat it.

Will definitely only order the Korean flavors next time.

The chicken was slightly overcooked. It didn't have the juiciness of a typical Southern fried chicken. The coating was somewhat bland and adding a bit of salt improved it quite a bit.

As a side story, in my search for a best fried chicken I was at Willie Mae's Scotch House and Anthony Bourdain was doing a shoot there. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn off my camera flash. Oops!

I definitely recommend this place, and I'll be back!…read more I ordered the 3 fried chicken tender meal with the mild spice level. The chicken is Hawaiian-style, and the meal comes with daikon pickles. As a pickle lover, I was excited and these were awesome They were a strange highlighter-yellow color, but don't let that scare you. They were delicious! The chicken tenders were HUGE and tasted like nice pieces of breast meat. They were crispy, well seasoned and filling enough that I could only finish 2 out of 3. I also ordered the kimchi mac & cheese and fries. Everything is à la carte, and honestly, the hardest part was picking sides because there were so many choices First, the FRIES. Crispy, clean tasting and seasoned perfectly. I'm emphasizing this because here in Seattle, fries are always a mystery You truly never know what you're going to get. The kimchi mac & cheese surprised me in the best way. I was a little nervous the kimchi sauce would overpower everything, but I barely noticed it. Every bite was cheesy, thick and creamy with a sharper cheese flavor, not that overly gooey, messy mac & cheese. I'd heard before coming here that their spice levels can run hotter than advertised, for example, that the mild cayenne might taste more like hot. Personally, I didn't think the mild was hotter than advertised. If you enjoy seasoned food, you should be fine. If you're sensitive to spice or heavy seasoning, just work your way up. And don't skip the dips! I tried the hibiscus BBQ sauce and really liked it. I'm normally a honey mustard girl too, but I wasn't paying extra for another sauce Luckily, the dip portion was pretty generous and plenty for my meal. Service was fast, informative and decent. The restaurant itself was small, quiet and super laid-back. I went with a friend and only saw maybe two other people come in while we were there. Next time I'm trying that cucumber salad Overall, crispy Hawaiian-style chicken, great sides, GOOD fries, awesome pickles and portions that actually fill you up. I'll definitely be back.

I got the medium spice level and it was about as spicy as I was expecting, I would probably get the hot next time. Fair warning, my spice tolerance is pretty high so what I think of as medium may not be what everyone else expects medium to be, since I saw a lot of the reviews on Google said that it was too spicy. Everything here was a bit on the salty side, but not unbearable. The fries were also pretty good, so I'd probably get more of those!

So happy to finally have a proper Korean fried chicken joint in NW Seattle!…read more Zip Dak Express recently took over the spot on the side of the Shell station off of 46th & Fremont, which has previously been home to a Mexican truck (Chayote) and a Brazilian burger spot (Capital Burgue). I drive by that Shell pretty much every day during my commute, so I noticed the new truck pop up and made it a point to swing by. Drove up on May 30 and found out they had just soft-opened the day before - so I was basically there from the jump. I ordered a half size of the soy garlic along with a side of curly fries. They're currently only running boneless chicken and tenders during soft opening, which honestly worked out fine since my partner prefers boneless anyway. Before ordering, I asked about the difference between their mild and medium heat levels, and they offered to coat the chicken in mild and serve the medium as a dipping sauce on the side - super accommodating. Good thing too, because their medium is no joke. Think a tad hotter than Wingstop's mango habanero. That's coming from someone who can usually handle spice. The two people running the truck showed a lot of love. I pulled up with my dog in the car, and the kind lady working was quick to come over and give him lots of attention, and a treat! She mentioned that they're hoping to stick around in the neighborhood for the long haul and have plans to build out the seating area - including a fenced section for people who want to bring their dogs and let them hang out. Seems like they're dog people, I'm already looking forward to it :) I'll be honest - I might be a little biased here haha. Fried chicken is probably my single favorite food, and Korean fried chicken is on the top tier. So take that for whatever it's worth. But this was a great first impression, and I'll definitely be back once they open up the full menu, or hell even before that since they're so close.

I believe they took over another malatang restaurant. Their classic beef bone broth 1/2 spicy is my go too. The broth is rich, savory, and not overly salty. The ingredients were fresh and the meat was of good quality. I love that they give you fresh fruit while you wait for your food and get to end with meal with complimentary ice cream!
