Clean inside and out. A lot of signs to read about daily specials. Tried the Tuesday special: Korean fried chicken sandwich, fries & drink for $9.99. Food was made to order. It was good. I would go back again. Service was helpful in helping me place my order. read more

Holdaak Fried Chicken - 8 chicken strips and fries. Good! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Paramount, California

After much anticipation I finally had the chance to try Holdaak Fried Chicken. This review is based on a takeout order as I tried this spot via Ubereats. For myself, I ordered the Holdaak Spicy Sandwich combo (w/ cheese) and a few extra sauces on the side. My boyfriend ordered the Seoul Spicy Sandwich with a side of garlic parm fries. Here's our verdict: My boyfriend enjoyed his sandwich but did mention the garlic parm fries lacked flavor. He enjoyed the sandwich but said his overall meal was unmemorable. I honestly agree with my boyfriend's statement as I felt like my meal sort of fell into the that same category. Now don't get me wrong, my crinkled fries were good and my sandwich was definitely well seasoned. However, I just can't help but feel that I was missing that "WOW" factor that distinguishes this spot from the many other Korean fried chicken joints I've tried. Overall, I'd recommend anyone to try this spot out at least once if in the area. 3.5/5 read more

Wing Wednesday done right!!!!! Get you a couple dollars off depending on how much wings you get on Wednesdays. I ordered the 12pc with Honey Lemon Pepper and the Sweet Chili. The Honey Lemon Pepper were so good and has a nice balance between the lemon and honey, not overpowering in flavor. The sweet chili has a perfect amount of sweetness and kick to them. The wings were crunchy in the outside and juicy on the inside. The friends were crispy and season well and tasted so good. Overall, it was filling me up pretty quickly. Definitely worth trying again! read more

Holdaak Fried Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Paramount, California

Since it was my first time, first impression was the restaurant was very dim inside. The signage were bright but didn't look appealing once you enter. It was such a a contrast once you reach the counter. First time trying this place I just ordered 13 pc wings in two flavors. The original was crispy and delicious, juicy in the inside. The other half I tried lemon pepper, it was good but the lemon was overwhelmingly sour! Like fake lemon sour! I would have preferred it to be dry rub type. Will try other flavors next time and update review. read more

Their food is so good I'm shakingggg. The fried chicken with their ranch is a game changer. Also the bread and fries that ckmes with the tenders beats raising canes ANY DAY. It's also perfect for many occasions: beach day, picnic, takeout, dine in, etc. the server is gentle and friendly. This is my second time coming to this location in under a month. Please open one in the SGV. read more

I was surprised to see the tender proportions! Usually places are stingy with their tenders but not this place! You definitely get your moneys worth! With a variety of spices to choose from, everything is so full of flavor. When we got our food, it was still steaming! Needless to say, with fresh food and amazing customer service I WILL be a returning customer!!! read more

Holdaak Fried Chicken - ORIGINAL FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH W. COLE SLAW & PICKLES - Chicken Shop Near Me - Paramount, California

I was really hyped to try this place as a Korean sandwich/chicken spot. I ordered the 3 tender combo and chose caramel soy. I didn't taste much of the soy and the chicken was so so. I'm open to coming back to try the spicy sandwich and maybe it was the item I got and it was a miss? My husband got the original sandwich and he said he liked it and would get it again. He just couldn't eat the fries since the seasoning was spicy. If you don't like spicy fries, I would ask with no seasoning. read more

I get the food vs commercials/marketing is never going to look the same right. But this was sad. It gave it a 3 because the sando did actually taste pretty good, and even tho didint get the fries how I ordered them, they were not bad. Ordered online, was super hyped about trying this Korean Sando spot for months. Food wasnt ready by "estimated" pick up time, but did not wait long. Restaurant is fairly new, reopened where the noodles/boba place used to be. Got home my sandwich looked so sad bro. Barely put together. I expect a big mac or whopper to look sad, not a premium Seoul Spicy Chicken Samdwich tho. Ordered Fries with sour cream & onion, got regular fries. Not a great experience, but do want to go back and try the Spicy Chimkin Sando. read more

Holdaak Fried Chicken - HOLDAAK ORIGINAL FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH W. DAIKON SLAW - Chicken Shop Near Me - Paramount, California

Yay! Finally a Korean Fried Chicken place in Paramount! Super excited for this place and I hope they're here to stay. It's located in the where the old Hiccups used to be. Holdaak offers delicious chicken wings, chicken strips, party sliders, chicken wraps and of course their famous chicken sandwiches. Personal recommendation: Original Wings with sauce on the side. Fresh, juicy & delicious! Dip your wings so they don't get soggy! The wings are pretty huge tbh; I was full after 3 pieces... Expect to wait at least 20 minute if you order wings because they make them fresh to order. It's worth the wait! The chicken strips are good too. It's made out of chicken breast so it's a tad bit dry, but the sauce makes up for it. Get the original flavor & order the sauce on the side. House special sauces - Seoul Spicy & Caramel soy. Seoul Spicy 5/5: if you like sweet & spicy, this one is for you! (Wet sauce, not dry rub!) Caramel Soy 4/5: It's a sweet caramel, soy, butter & garlic flavor. It's a little too sweet for me tbh. I thought this would be the one for me, but I have honestly have tried better sweet soy from other Korean chicken spots. Spicy 4/5: simply, but delicious! You can actually adjust the spicy level! Honey Mustard 3.5/5: I'm not a huge honey mustard fan to be honest, it's not something I would typically order, but this one is pretty good! It's a good balance of the two. I wouldn't recommend drenching my wings or chicken strips in this, but I'd recommend it as a dip! My husband LOVES their honey mustard and would rate it a 5/5. Service: pretty good for a new store. They're definitely still learning. They messed up my order, but they were so apologetic and tried to fix it right away. Price: it's a bit on the pricey side. 10 pieces of original wings for $20.95 is a bit steep, but you're paying for quality and freshness. I think it's worth it. Holdaak is available on Grubhub & Uber Eats! read more

If you like mayonaise definitely order the coleslaw (I LOVED IT). The vegetables on the sandwich is also very refreshing and pairs well with the fried chicken. Get the OG Holdaak chicken sandwich! read more

The spicy chicken sando with daikon slaw ($7.95) is delicious! I've been to the Holdaak in Commerce, but I mainly tried items that my kids wanted. Their chicken was really good. The super nice employee at the register there told me if I liked spicy food, then next time I should give the spicy chicken sandwich a try... and with the daikon slaw. Best recommendation ever! The chicken is juicy and tender. The spices on their batter are so flavorful. I was worried the slaw would take away from the spiciness. It did no such thing. This sandwich had me wishing for more later. The employees are very friendly... thanks for the 10% off coupon for my next Holdaak inhalation! Lol. What I really like about the Paramount, CA, is that there are clean restrooms, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and ample free parking in a plaza lot. As of 5/5/22, this location was still waiting for their permanent signage, but they are open and ready to cook your food fresh at the time of ordering. read more

Still amazing. Got the tenders this time and the flavor of the chicken was amazing. I got the plain to be able to try it. Everything was hot and fresh, chicken was super juicy and flavorful. Literally our favorite chicken spot. And been raving about it to everyone I know. They were also really nice and put in a Disney movie for my 4yr old to watch while we ate dinner. Amazing customer service. read more

Absolutely satisfying. The spicy chicken sandwich was crispy yet so soft and tender on the inside. The sauce knocked me out of my seat. The heat was perfect, not too intense, but with a kick. And the brioche bun was soft and buttery. I think I'm in love. Customer service was good! I really like the option of indoor or outdoor seating where I can enjoy the deliciousness. read more

I don't even know where to begin. This place is . I came in on a whim. I honestly just wanted something quick but man am I glad I did!! Everythang was thangin!!! I ordered the 12 strip family combo and got mixed both sauces. The chicken is tender, and those damn sauces are show. The flavors are bold and just down right delicious. Had me lickin all of my fingers and smackin' . The shit was delicious. Whatever seasoning they put in the fries had my mouth a tad bit on fire but I loved the heat. I stayed all the way in the kitchen because I couldn't stop eating. I came in on a Saturday and I don't know the cashiers name but she was the sweetest thing not on the menu. Absolutely amazing. Super friendly, kind and had me wanting to buy more shit. She did what needed to be done because I left here spending well over $50. Definitely a must try. I will be back read more

An amazing little spot! Their restaurant is always clean. Their staff are always welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food is on point! My favorites are the Seoul spicy chicken sandwich. It is not too spicy, it's edible without breaking a sweat and you are able to enjoy it. I am also fond of their chicken wrap and their crispy chicken salad. The chicken wrap is pretty much their crispy chicken salad wrapped in a tortilla. My daughter's favorite is their original chicken tenders with their plain fries. Their chicken is just perfectly crispy, not oily. It is very soft and moist from the inside. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for crispy chicken! read more

Ok this place opened up a few months ago but i hadn't heard about it until we got some coupons. I looked it up and saw it was a chain restaurant. It's in a big strip mall with alot of businesses and a very busy grocery store. I've been there twice now, the restaurant is clean, spacious, and the employees are very helpful and patient. The chicken is wonderful, juicy, lightly breaded and seasoned perfectly. The buns are soft and the toppings add so much flavor. I am here for this chicken. read more

I appreciate the Father's Day $2 off coupon. I figured I'd share my recent experiences.. I was unable to place the order online with the coupon through the email link. After a few minutes trying to figure it out, I reached the cut off for online pick ups (30mins before closing). The location near me in Paramount, CA was closing, so I rushed down there to place the order. Fortunately the cashier was great about adding the coupon to my order. All good there! I ordered the sandwich & an 8 strip combo with the add-on of Large Cajun Fries...they had already closed up once I left. I got home and realized my order was missing the Large Cajun Fries. I called the store, but obviously no answer. The last time I visited this local location I also didn't have the best experience (my online order was cancelled without explanation & I had to go place the order myself). I do enjoy the food so I gave it a 2nd chance. I know missing the item is not a big deal, but I'm just disappointed with the experiences overall because, like I said, I do enjoy the food. Initially I was hesitant to leave a review, but my response to the promo email bounced back as "undeliverable" despite the banner stating, in part, "Reply to this email and we'll respond as soon as possible." I guess my tip for others is to be in-store for a promo & always check your to-go order. Thanks. read more

It's ok. Pros: Potato wedges are good Corn strips are delicious too Spicy Sauce is good too Online ordering & to go packaging perfect Cons: I'm not a fan of the batter The shredded radish also is not for me. The cut up cubes version is better for me. When getting Korean fried chicken I expect the whole rotisserie I ordered fried and cut up in pieces. The thighs were whole. Not cool man. Fries were meh(not bad just meh IYKYK) Anyways I'm glad paramount has a new spot for this type chicken. I always like to support the city! read more

I haven't been to Holdaak in a cool minute! Probably since the COVID lockdowns but at the Fullerton location. I was in the paramount area and decided to bring back lunch home for everybody. I ordered an Original Holdaak, Spicy Original Holdaak, two Al a carte tenders ( soy and Seoul spicy ) , and a 3 tender combo. The food is just as good as I remember. The spicy Holdaak packed lots of flavor. From the chicken to the seasoning/spicy sauce and pickled daikon. Every bite never disappoints. The tenders were big in portion and generously coated in sauce. The sauce itself was good and I recommend soy and spicy Seoul. Fries were solid, crispy crinkle cut, classic. The comeback sauce is also good. I always buy an extra one. Overall. I recommend Holdaak. Fullerton or Paramount location. I spent about $40+ including tip but the food is well worth it. read more

We usually love this place, but today our food was horrible chicken taste undercooked, was just bad $102 dollars down the drain

Ordered the original, the wrap, and loco fries. The wrap was really good, the food looked like the pictures. Service was friendly. Shake fries are just regular fries. I asked because I was not sure. Loco fries have onion, takis, bacon, cilantro, and nacho cheese. There's clean seating inside and outside. It's a little pricey but quality is good. Plus they have good deals every day! read more

the best ! food is always hot and ready to eat, and the customer service is on point ! Workers so friendly

Holdaak is far better than any other fried chicken sandwich I have tried! I drove by this place and the sign on the side caught my attention. I looked it up online and decided to stop by -- it was love at first bite. I tried the Holdaak Spicy combo with a coke and it came to $15 and something cents (the price is steep but hear me out). My boyfriend was also very impressed and said that the price point was worth it since the food is good. The slaw they put in the sandwich adds so much flavor and the zig zag fries are perfectly crispy and just the right amount of soft! The bread is soft and the chicken is a good size -- enough to fill you up and enough to have a bite of chicken, bread, and slaw In every bite. I'm a huge fountain drink fan and it's hard to find a place that doesn't give flat soda. Their fountain machine is maintained and makes the soda come out crispy every time (like McDonald's crispy lol). I just get bummed out because every time I have gone, it's only me in there. Only one other family has been in there and I get so bummed out I hate the fact that this place is truly a hidden gem and I would hate to lose it due to low profits! I took some pictures of my meal but the food is not photogenic! It looks like it's small but it just does not photograph as well as it looks and is in person. I'll for sure keep coming here instead of any other fried chicken place. read more
