    Can't wait to bring some friends here over the weekend!! the chicken wings, and overall portions are huge and so delicious Highly recommend the kimchi fried rice and the soy drumsticks!! the rice cakes on the skewers were also so good and their happy hour menu looked amazing. Can't wait to come back here! The staff are all so nice :-)

    Yangyum and soy garlic boneless pieces
    Lindsey M.

    We ordered takeout from MoDak and got a variety of things (all pictures attached). It is right off of 280, super convenient. The restaurant is a little hole in the wall with slightly sticky floors, and a lot of character. Even though I mention sticky floors, everything looked and felt clean otherwise. The person at the register that greeted us took our order and was friendly. We ordered boneless 1/2 yangyum and 1/2 soy garlic. We were able to ask for a spice level on the first and went with spicy, but it was pretty tame. Everything we ordered had great flavor and had good portions. I can see us going back!

    I am absolutely blown away by this place! I had a craving for black bean noodles and a quick Yelp search led me here. I decided to order a few other items to try out as well. I got the sotteok sotteok , black bean noodles, and a 10-piece chicken in yangnyum and savory soy. Everything is made to order, so it took about 20-25 minutes for the food to arrive. The portion sizes are huge, so I recommend sharing with a group!. The black bean noodles were my favorite and loved that they used udon noodles. They were bouncy and perfectly cooked, and the black bean sauce was to die for. If you visit, you definitely need to try the Sotteok Sotteok as well. It's coated in cheese and a sweet/tangy sauce. Absolutely delicious and love the crunch of the rice cake. My only critique is that the sauce on the chicken wings wasn't evenly distributed (as seen in the picture), and I would have preferred a more even coating rather than just having it poured on top of the wings. The restaurant has a TV playing music videos, which can make the atmosphere feel a bit loud if you're sitting nearby. Give this place a try:)

    Loved the spam and egg kimbap!
    Craig Y.

    There's a reason this place is so highly rated. Really nice variety of Korean food and love the selection of kimbap (Korean sushi). A solid Korean restaurant with a lot to offer. The flavors were so nice to experience and much better than I expected. Will definitely be coming back here. FOOD: We ordered a variety of stuff. I got the bulgogi beef bowl which surprisingly wasn't overloaded with veggies but had a blend of rice, beef, broccoli, and japchae (glass noodles). A little heavy on the sesame oil, but tasted so good. Could use more beef to rice ratio but I would definitely order again. The ttok was also solid tasting and I enjoyed the mandu (pot stickers). The kimbap was the best of the dishes we ordered and can't wait to try more. SERVICE: We did this as a DoorDash so did not talk to anyone in person, but the presentation was good, the packaging was solid, and the portion size was nice. Not extravagant, but enough. COST: Really good for what you get. Can't complain with what we ordered. Some of the dishes did seem outsized for the price, but so tasty.

    Another fun one

    I was a bit worried about coming in at 7 PM on a Saturday night. I thought it might be crowded and have to wait. However, there was just one other occupied table, and they came in just before me. There's a nice selection of items on the menu but we came in with Korean chicken in mind. We got the combo, which gave us wings, drumsticks, and boneless. Oh, got a side of the regular fries also. The cook was incredible. Crispy on the outside and moist and tender in the middle. You can have your chicken pre-sauced or have it on the side. We had it on the side and I think this was the way to go as it kept the chicken nice and crispy. So, food-wise, it was great. However the big thing I noticed is that they use disposable paper plates. Environmentally, that's a lot of waste and it didn't add much to the dining experience. Speaking of the experience and environment, it's kind of an eclectic place. See my photos.... There was only one persons working the front but I guess that's ok given that they only have about 6 tables and a row of counter seats. Service was just a tad slow but the young woman did the best she could. I would come back again, perhaps to try something else.

    Korean Ice Coffee
    Lloyd C.

    Kodak Korean Chicken has been on my radar for a long time! I finally got the chance to try them out. They are located in the big plaza with Lion Market, but closer to Starbucks. Parking is plentiful here. Ambience: Nicely decorated, hip, and just a great place to chill. Korean music videos provides the vibe. One large LCD Tv. They offer outside seating and inside seating with tables and counter seating. Large parties might be challenging. It's best if you call to inquire about larger parties greater than 4+ people. One unisex restroom only! Two kiosks for takeout orders. Otherwise each table has their own kiosk to order from. Service: The service was very friendly and nice. She knew I was a noob and explained how things worked. They were also out of certain skewers items. Food: Korean Ice Coffee - served with a circular ice cube; pretty cool. The coffee was delicious. Regular Chicken (Wings) with Savory Soy. I got the option to have the sauce on the wings. It was a light battered similar to the kind on fish & Chips. So, it was deep fried to a golden brown but had a crispness to it. I wish the sauce was sweeter but it was just ok. I'd like to try their other flavors next time. The radish and cabbage slaw really helped give you the tart flavor with a crunchy texture and different flavor profile. Overall, a pretty decent meal. I'd give them a 3.5 stars but rounding up for food, ambience and service. Support your local business.

    The food is VERY savory. This place has one of the best battered fried and wings, thick and crunchy. Im a huge fan of their cheese toppings. Serving sizes are generous. Ambiance was appropriate, with K-pop playing on the tv. Parking is very narrow and limited, although not too far from adjacent plaza parking. Good experience.

    Soy Chicken Drumsticks (6)
    Nathaniel K.

    TLDR: Love the Soy Chicken! It's a small spot, nestled between Starbucks and Tandoori Cafe (which moved from Lawrence Expwy). I got there on a Thurs night, near 7p, and it was pretty empty. I was a little concerned, but it was getting late, and I was hungry. So I chose a table, and ordered from the tablet, which every table had. I like that... less waiter interaction, the better! So I ordered a small order of drumsticks, with the Savory Soy sauce (DIFFERENT from Soy Sauce!). I like that it wasn't sticky. I hate it if it sticks to my teeth. The skin was fried very well, while the meat inside was still flavorful, and juicy. The drumsticks are pretty large as well. I am a moderately big guy, and 3 drumsticks filled me up quite satisfactorily. Oh, and I also finished off an entire plate of fried dumplings. hehe. The fried dumplings were really good as well. I loved the crunchiness, and the meat wasn't too dense. I also enjoyed the dipping sauce it came with, a bit tangy and salty. All in all, perhaps my hunger seasoned my meal, but I think I'm self-aware enough to know that the food simply tastes delicious. I'm excited to bring my wife here to try!

    Korean fried chicken is one of my favorite types of chicken. I like to try as many Korean fried chicken restaurants as possible since they all usually do a good job with making their chicken. We arrived at MoDak Korean Chicken for a Sunday late lunch. The restaurant is located in a nice plaza area off Stevens Creek and Saratoga Avenue. Parking is accessible in the small parking lot. There was definitely a K-pop influence and aura with the music and posters in the restaurant. A kiosk for to go food is available when you walk in as well. We ordered a large 20 piece of chicken wings with savory soy and honey delight flavors and 2 steam rice. The chicken had a nice crunchy texture and both flavors were sweet and delicious. Unfortunately the steam rice was cold. The side of daikon was a nice addition. Overall we enjoyed our experience at MoDak. The food was just the right amount for our family of 3. The staff was friendly and accommodating. If I am ever in the area and I'm feeling Korean fried chicken, I'll definitely be back.

    Creamion Wings
    Vivian P.

    Came here on a Wednesday around 2PM and was immediately seated! The restaurant is pretty roomy and cozy. Our server was also very helpful and friendly. We got the Creamion and Yangnyum wings and both were so delicious! But my favorite was the Creamion wings - they were so creamy and flavorful. I 100% recommend these wings if you like a creamy onion flavor. I would come back to try other items on their menu and the Creamion wings again!

    drumsticks
    Annie K.

    One of the better Korean fried chicken spots I've tried in the bay area! I got the Sotteok Sotteok, which was a perfect combo of chewy rice cakes and savory sausage--really tasty, but a bit small for the price. The fried chicken itself was crispy and flavorful; I'd order from here again and honestly think it's better than Bonchon. Takeout was great too. You could pick as many sauces as you wanted, which was amazing--we tried a bit of everything! They were generous with the sauces: cheese dust, creamion, yangnyeom, and savory soy were all really good. Creamion was my favorite, and I'll definitely be ordering extra next time. Piece sizes were a bit varied, with some small ones--next time I'll just stick to drumsticks.

    Sampler
    Heather W.

    Food: THE FRIES WERE SO GOOD AND CRUNCHY!! The sampler was a good choice to taste many different sauce. Ambiance/Service: Lively and nice kpop music! Also you get your own water with option of cold or hot.

    Cynthia W.

    Food: 3/5 Very average Korean tofu soup. I'm so disappointed by the banchan. Small portion, no refills. I guess this place is more for fried chicken... service: There was only one lady working. I could tell she was trying her best to help everyone. But once she went into the kitchen, it's hard to get help. Ambiance: Not a big place but they were not too busy when I visited.

Soy garlic chili had a nice kick. The only down side was our fries were a little cold and dry and the soju cocktail didn't quite hit the spot (tasted the syrup) so I guess mix well before pouring. Other than that I'd love to try the other fusion dishes.
