My girlfriend and I came by one day since we were craving some fried chicken. We got the OG Chicken Strips, Caramel Soy Chicken Strips, and Cajun Fries as a part of a pack deal. I really wanted to like this spot as I want to support small businesses but it didn't hit as much as I wanted it to. The chicken was dry and the breading didn't have much crunch considering its supposed to be korean style chicken tenders. The fries were okay and you could tell they were either selling frozen french fries or they were stale. The sauces were okay. Please at least preserve the chicken's juices as it adds so much to the tenders. read more

I visited today to place an order and was told it would take longer because they had many orders. I said that was completely fine and waited patiently. While waiting, my daughter called and suggested not to get the Holdaak spicy chicken. Since I was told it would take time, I politely asked if I could change the order. The staff said no because it was "almost done." When I took the food home, my kids (who were fasting) didn't like it, mainly because of the daikon slaw. I returned and politely asked if they could adjust it -- I even offered to pay extra. Unfortunately, I was told no again, and the attitude was very dismissive. I understand policies, but a little hospitality and kindness go a long way. I ended up leaving both orders there. Very disappointed with the customer service read more

Came here again for lunch and to take advantage of the discount from showing them my Yelp review. I got the #1 combo with the Seoul Spicy and it was only about $11 after the discount. The combo came with a sandwich, fries, and a drink. The gentleman helping me was super nice and got my order ready quickly. Always get the fries seasoned. They taste amazing. The spice isn't too high on the heat and is actually slightly sweet. The Seoul Spicy was always very delicious. The chicken piece inside was huge and had a lot of radish in it as well. The contrasting textured and flavors were very enjoyable. read more

We tried this place because we wanted chicken and were semi hungry, too tired to drive with kids so we decided to order via door dash for a late night snack. The order was easy online. The door dash driver waited a bit for it but overall, it was quick to receive the food after ordering. We got the Holdaak original chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken. The sandwich comes with a daikon slaw which added a nice flavor profile to the sandwich of something tangy mixed with pickled onions. Definitely a nice refreshing taste with each bite. The ketchup also had great flavors to it as well, with a hint of spice, which gave it a nice subtle kick. Pairs perfectly with the crispy chicken. The popcorn chicken wasn't as seasoned as I would like it but had a nice crispy texture to it and was fresh. Kids approved and like the crispiness of it. Overall a good late night meal and everything arrived still hot & crispy, which was nice. We'll definitely come through to check out the restaurant in person & try their other items. So far a good first try. read more

Last night me and Amy wife were really craving a buffalo chicken sandwich... so I saw Holdaak the other day and we almost went to Canes.... But ... me and my Wife both have decided that we don't need to go to Canes anymore lol It's a small little spot with a good amount of seating and fun pun filled quotes and lighting. The chairs are really comfortable lol The service was amazing, I honestly have to give props to Cat and Karim.. I made sure to get their names because it was only them two on staff and they were backed up and getting it all done in a timely manner. Karim made sure to let those who came up know what they were out of so they were not disappointed with ordering it then not being able to get it. Th food came out crispy and delicious and where you would typically have accidents with just two on staff on a busy night these two held their own and took care of everyone the best they could. Seriously cheers to the both of you we see you and see how hard your working. The food... the chicken was crispy, the chicken was juicy, the sauces were perfect , fries on point, and honestly WE CANT WAIT TO GO BACK . I love wings and I'm a loyalists but o a place called fire wings but ... I feel like Holdaak will challenge them pretty good. You fulfilled my every craving we had that night . I'll sum this up the best way possible... if you want something that hits better flavor profiles, better sauces, and delicious chicken you no longer need to go to raising cains... Holdaak is the place to go and they will deliver in the best ways. We will Be back !!! I want some wings read more

my boyfriend and I wanted to try this spot, we went in and right off the bat, the ordering screen wasn't set up, which that's okay. . it happens. so we waited at least 5mins before someone offered to take our order. The guy attending us was kind of stand offish. Almost like he wanted to hurry and get our order over with. so the customer service wasn't that great. we went to sit down. and the tables were filthy!! but they did come to clean them about 8 mins later. when our order was finally ready at the counter. I noticed that an employee grabbed his phone,and put it on top of someone order (the box) and he didn't have gloves on. which I thought was a little gross. overall experience could've been way better if employees were more attentive/welcoming and if dining area was clean. i'd rate the customer service about 2/10, the food is about 5/10. read more

The staff is friendly and kind. They offer a senior discount! We ended up getting the Holdaak Fried Chicken sandwiches a few chicken strips in different flavors; mango habenero, seoul spicy,comeback sauce, and ranch. The chicken was sooo tasty! the strips were soft and juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. All the sauces were amazing. my favorite was the comeback it was like a smokey sauce flavor. my family really enjoyed all the food i would definitely reccommend this to others!

Holdaak Fried Chicken is an absolute gem. The restaurant is actually very clean and warm on the inside, and the workers are incredible. The people that work here are all super friendly and kind, and you can tell that they truly care about the individuals coming into the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant, as well as the rest of the workers, made the entire experience even greater. All of this is halal, and it really is some of the best Korean fried chicken I've ever had. The bathroom is also sanitary, always a plus. I came with my parents, and we got to try the Holdaak Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Holdaak Original Chicken Sandwich, Sweet Chili Wings (6 pc), and the Crispy Chicken Wrap. All of which were just super tasty. The chicken was fresh, crispy, and yummy. You would know the quality from every bite. They also serve Salaam Cola, which was a great touch and something that I absolutely love to see. Overall, this place is a must visit. The meal is worth the money, the staff are wonderful, and the experience overall was great. read more

This place is absolutely fantastic! From the moment you walk in you feel the welcoming vibe! The chicken sandwiches and wings are hands-down some of the best I've ever had. The chicken was fresh, perfectly cooked, and had an amazing flavor and texture that set it apart from the usual spots. Honestly, it's way better than Chick-fil-A and Cane's. On top of the incredible food, the staff and service were outstanding - friendly and attentive, and made the whole experience even better. My entire family loved everything we ordered, and we'll definitely be making this our chicken spot from now on. If you're looking for fresh, delicious food and great service, this place is it!

We really enjoyed our meal here and we tried a variety of options on the menu. It is awesome to find places serving halal meat especially niche food type like korean chicken! The staff was nice, and welcoming. Holdaak Spicy Sandwich 8/10: juicy, flavorful, the perfect crispy chicken and non-soggy bun, really loved the daikon coleslaw, just wish there was more of a flavor pop overall. Not sure if they forgot to put spice seasoning on mine because I didn't taste the spicy flavor. Spicy Lemon Pepper Wings 8/10: great wings, didn't realize they'd be a dry rub, definitely need to try the saucy flavors next time! Corn Ribs 8/10: such a cool menu option, very yummy and has a great bite, don't feel like the seasoning really amplifies the flavor much. Loco Fries 6/10: I was really excited for these as a takis fanatic, wish the fries were crispy and not soggy, and also needs way more cilantro to brighten the flavor of the dish. read more

Smash burger was decent, chicken sandwich was really good, possibly needing a little more sauce and spice, but easily fixed on my next order by getting different sauce for the chicken. The wings were really good, solid selection of flavors. I popped in for take out, and staff were really friendly and helpful! Made me laugh while I was waiting for my food.

My family and I tried their boneless-in wings before and liked it. About a year later, I tried their boneless chicken and fries combo, and they were underwhelming for us. The chicken was firm and lacked crispiness. We weren't a fan of their sweet chili type dipping sauce. The fries were crispy to our liking but too salty. Service and dining area were standard and casual. It wasn't crowded, so it was easy to walk in and order. I don't think we are going back, at least not for their boneless wings.

The banchan was delicious and had a nice variety, including radish stem kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cakes, soybean paste with nuts, fried eggplant, and more. Everything tasted fresh and well made. We started with the fried dumplings, which were crispy on the outside and filled with really tasty filling. The soybean stew was packed with flavor and had potatoes, onions, and zucchini--super comforting. The short ribs were juicy and flavorful, especially with a side of rice. The pork cutlet was perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce added just the right touch of sweetness. Even the salad was good, with a dressing that wasn't too overpowering. They serve hot barley tea and water, and you can buy canned soft drinks if you want something else. Everything we had was delicious--honestly, there wasn't anything I didn't like. Prices were fair, and the customer service was great. Our waitress checked on us several times to make sure we were good and even showed us how to make rice porridge using the hot barley tea and the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot, which ended up being really good too. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, well-lit, and has lots of natural color (tans, brown). It appears to have been recently remodeled. There is plenty of seating and open space.

Kimchi was not fermented enough and was a pale orange color, fishcake was not offered without you asking, there were no cucumbers, scallion pancake,seasoned bean sprouts, potatoes, or noodles. The flounder offered was very tasty but again, offered at the end of the meal when we were wrapping up. I'm used to this being offered at the beginning or during meal. I think I would only go back if they ramped up their banchan but I did ask, and they said they won't really rotate their banchan :( staff was very attentive but the food will make or break it for me. Hoping I can retry in the future once they're more established.

Unfortunately, this particular location in McKinley, Corona was very disappointing. The service was horrible. Our server was rude, not friendly at all, and didn't even smile. If you're in the service industry, basic respect and courtesy go a long way, especially when dealing with customers. Sadly, that was completely missing. We also spoke to the manager regarding the brisket, which was tough and rubbery, but she didn't seem to care at all. No concern, no effort to resolve the issue. To make things worse, our server went on break and told us someone would cover--but no one ever came to check on us or take our orders. We were left trying to get anyone's attention, and even when I was clearly waving for help, the staff ignored us. Orders took forever--at least 10-15 minutes each time--even though the restaurant wasn't busy. My husband asked for a Diet Coke refill and it never came until we had to ask again. We love Gen Korean BBQ, but this location was a huge letdown. Poor service, lack of attention, and no accountability. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back to this branch and would not recommend it. Do yourself a favor and go to a different location.

My wife and I just had our first Korean BBQ experience, and we loved it. Everything is self-serve, which actually made the experience even better. Cooking the food together at the table made dinner feel more interactive and fun instead of just sitting there waiting for food to arrive. Our favorites were definitely the Spicy Bulgogi, Spicy Chicken, and the kimchi. The meats had amazing flavor and cooked up perfectly on the grill, and the kimchi had that perfect spicy tang that paired really well with everything. What we didn't expect was how intimate the whole experience felt. Since you're cooking and sharing the food together, it naturally made my wife and I talk more and enjoy each other's company instead of just sitting there with our faces buried in our phones waiting for food to come out.

Especially loved the beef brisket, beef belly, top blade steak, (356 steak- our favorite), LA galbi, 356 bulgogi, and the seasoned short rib cubes. Meats were juicy, tasty, tender and side banchan dishes were outstanding. Great spot, definitely recommend for Korean BBQ in area.

I've been to 356 Korean BBQ a few times now, and I've always really enjoyed coming here for a solid…read moremeal. However, my most recent visit left me a little disappointed. The flavor of the meats and sides is still really good, they definitely know how to season their food. The problem this time around was the meat itself. It felt like they were skimping on the portion sizes, and the overall quality of the cuts didn't seem as good as it used to be. When you pair smaller portions and lower quality with their recent price increases, it's just not a great look. I still like this place, but it definitely didn't feel like the best value this time around. I'll probably give them another chance, but I hope they step it back up.

MUCH better than OK soon dubu!…read more Very pleasant interior - clean, simply decorated. Service was very quick and polite. The portion is very generous for the price - since meals come with banchan - excellent kimchi - tastiest kimchi I've had in a long time, not too spicy or sour, sweet, savory, and rich flavor. The soon dubu is excellent !! Both the seafood and the beef broth were very richly flavored. The soup came out boiling with a raw egg to crack in - just as it should be! Full of meat and silky tofu!

Unfortunately, the japchae was really dry, which was disappointing since I was looking forward to it. Some of the other dishes were okay, but nothing stood out enough to make me want to come back. There is a lot of parking outside, but it looks pretty unsafe and not well-maintained, which made us feel uncomfortable when arriving. Overall, the service was great, but the food didn't quite meet my expectations, so I don't think I would return. The atmosphere was really nice though!

I was actually late to pick up my food by about 15-20 minutes, but even when I got it, it was still super crunchy. The meat inside was juicy as well. It didn't dry out.

Highly recommend for any Korean chicken cravings.

We were told to wait 15-20 minutes and so we did and when the food came out fresh and super crunchy, which made it worth it. My wife and I ordered the soy garlic wings, crispy tenders, and popcorn chicken, and the portions were huge. The soy garlic wings were definitely our favorite--crispy with a flavor that really hits the spot. The tenders tasted like good-quality chicken and had that perfect crunch. The popcorn chicken was also crispy, though it felt like it needed a bit more seasoning, but to be fair, we ordered all the sauces on the side, just to be on the safe side and honestly it's just preference to whoever orders. Overall, this place really delivers on crunch and flavor, we'll definitely be back for more wings.

I noticed that the service has become absolutely terrible; the staff didn't even bother to bring out basic essentials like bowls or napkins, making it feel like the restaurant has pivoted to a self-serve model without actually telling anyone. I was also disappointed to see that the menu has changed significantly, and I found the portion sizes to be much smaller than they used to be despite the prices staying high. I'm not sure if the ownership changed recently or what happened behind the scenes, but I can definitely say the quality and experience have gone really downhill since the changes took effect. It's a shame because this used to be a favorite of mine, but after this visit, I'm not sure I'll be returning.

We had roughly 30 guests, and the restaurant comfortably accommodated our group in one section of the dining room with a combination of long tables and booths, which made it easy for everyone to sit together and enjoy the celebration. Every once in a while they played a birthday tune over the speakers, which was definitely an interesting and fun touch that added to the festive vibe of the evening. The buffet itself has a huge selection, and everyone seemed especially excited about the fresh seafood options. My niece even tried snail for the first time, which impressed me! There's also a large variety of sushi, which many of our guests enjoyed. Some of my personal favorites were the black pepper chicken, green beans, and sautéed mushrooms. Everything else looked delicious too, but I was already full. Next time I'll definitely come prepared with a bigger appetite to really take advantage of the AYCE experience. One thing I wish they offered was more beverage choices. The options were limited to soda fountain drinks, green tea, and unfiltered water, which wasn't the best selection to pair with such a wide variety of foods. There were also plenty of fried comfort foods like pizza and fries, which made it a great place for both adults and kids since there's truly something for everyone. The staff was friendly and attentive, and overall it was a great place to gather with family and celebrate a special milestone.
