D-2. Spicy or Mild Yang Nyeom Chicken - half box
Tiffany O.

The customer service is still good here, but there's inconsistencies from the kitchen sometimes. One of the times I ordered a half box of boneless gold fried chicken, half the order came with bones. They also say each half box comes with 9-10 pieces, so a full box would be between 18-20. I've previously consistently gotten 20 pieces when I ordered a full box. One of my full boxes came with 18 pieces this time, and they were even on the smaller side compared to other boxes' pieces. Something random - their restrooms are one of the cleanest I've seen from a "casual" / non-high end restaurant. The entire restaurant is clean as well. See my past reviews for other input.

Half and Half D-5. Gang-Jung Chicken D-1. Gold Fried Chicken S-4. Shrimp Fried Rice all super delicious!
Ash G.

So I brought the kids with me this time and yep it's a winner!! Parking is at the back for anyone asking, but as soon as you walk in your greeted warmly by their team and seated. I love the little drawers in the side that house all the chopsticks and napkins (if you didn't know, now you do) Kids were loving the K-pop on TV but the real hero was that Golden Fried Chicken, hands down my favorite chicken. My youngest wanted some shrimp so we also ordered the Shrimp Chicken (barbecue sauce) and just a note that this can't be split via their 50/50 option. We also got the Shrimp Fried Rice which is very flavorful and yep I couldn't find any leftovers the next day because it's just that good! The only sorta disappointment was the Starter Set we got fries, onion rings & Egg Roll, I could not force myself to eat the Egg Roll the flavor and texture was wrong but the fries and onion rings were fine (not the best but still ok) we also had the chicken yakisoba not the most amazing dish of the night but solid! Love this place, hope they come over to the Eastside!!

Spicy yang nyeom + honey mustard
David H.

We ordered take out from sodam on Xmas Eve and everything was ready quick but fresh! It's def generally a better experience to dine-in to eat korean fried chicken/korean food in general but oh well lol. The golden chicken wings were still hot/fresh, which was a huge plus. The breading to chicken ratio was perhaps a lil off (too much breading, not enough chicken), but again, who am I to complain when the were offering a BOGO + were even open at dinner time on Xmas Eve. I will say, I wish they gave more sauce and/or offered the yang nyeom/honey mustard in bigger containers.

Sodam lunch special with a spicy sauce
Marlee K.

Once again Sodam good! Had the lunch special with boneless Golden chicken, coleslaw, and mondu. It's a holiday so I had an Asaki beer (on tap). Nice friendly prompt service. Felt very welcome.

Half and Half !

This place is really good, and the food is delicious. Definitely Korean-style food! Original is more delicious than seasoned chicken. I liked roast chicken the most.

We ordered using Uber Eats. Our choices were gold fried chicken and soy garlic chicken. Picking up was easy. They had easy access to parking as well as street parking. Staff was friendly and courteous as we did a quick pick up. Good interior and family-friendly. Both gold fried and soy garlic chicken were very delicious. I especially love the size of each piece. They are perfectly sized for single grab with one hand and does not require both hands to enjoy the taste. It is difficult to find good Korean fried chicken places in North Seattle and we are glad that Sodam Chicken is nearby for our occasional cravings. Sodam has a variety of flavors available and we are looking forward to trying each and every flavor. And as other reviewers mentioned, they are indeed addicting!

We love getting takeout here and it was especially great when they helped raise funds for my daughter's school. The golden fried chicken is so addicting! My kid kept stuffing her mouth. I also enjoyed the tteok bokki and bulgogi dish! Haven't dined in before but takeout has been delicious every time.

10 piece combo x2 ($32 each, $64 total).
Max W.

This review is primarily for the specific item I ordered and the portion/price for it. I've been here a few times and was craving chicken this evening. I had an uber eats gift card and noticed Chicken Sodam was running a BOGO on their 10 piece chicken. Usually $32 for one order, it was now 2 for that price. I thought that was a great deal so I ordered that, yet when I picked up the food and looked inside I couldn't help but feel like the price was either wrong on Uber, or the portion was just really, really small. $32 for 10 small pieces of chicken seems really overpriced. The chicken itself is still good! However, to me it feels like they doubled the price of the item ($16 seems realistic) then added a "special" calling it a BOGO. I have enjoyed going here for the past few years - lesson learned is always eat in store.

Family combo set 1. Soy garlic and yangnyeom chicken.
Cheol K.

Ordered the family combo set number one which consists of two boxes of fried chicken. We opted for the bone in chicken. For flavorings we got the soy garlic and the yang nyeom. Both were excellent, and the chicken was crispy on the exterior. But the soy garlic wings were absolutely phenomenal. Probably some of the best that I have had. We also got some kimchi fried rice and yakisoba noodles. The Mandu was fried really well and tasted delicious. The kimchi fried rice had great flavor as I would expect. The combo meal also comes with a 2 L soda. Which for three or four people should be enough. Speaking of enough, there is enough food to easily feed more than four adults. We had so much left over and we're so stuffed. This place is a must visit if you have a crew or even just are by yourself and have a craving for Korean fried chicken. Highly recommend

Bill X.

Recommended by a Korean friends. That's the best wings I've ever had in Seattle. The original wings are hella crispy, the one with the sauce is ok, not a big fun of the sauce. Will go back for sure!

Fried chicken with Korean BBQ sauce
Brett D.

i have been here three times and each time I go here the chicken is perfectly fried. This time I got the BBQ sauce and it was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, and the dumplings were delicious. The price of 5 piece with two sides was very reasonable.

D-1. Gold Fried Chicken - Large
Tania U.

This is my go-to spot when I crave Korean fried chicken! My favorite is the gold fried chicken so simple but delicious. I usually order to-go and eat it a few hours later, and the chicken is still so crispy and moist. The online ordering process (on Clover via their website) is super easy, and the food is always ready right on time. Plus, the service is very fast. Highly recommend!

Fenny C.

In the mood for Korean fried chicken, so I decided to give this place a try. Service is fast, too fast, she's kinda inpatient. The restaurant is clean. Not too much noise. There's severel other people were there when I got there. Plenty of Parking is in the back. Restroom is clean as well. I ordered their lunch combo which is 5pc fried chk any style sauce either bone in or boneless with 2 side anything from rice, french fries, coleslaw, 2 eggs rolls or korean potstickers for $11.99, which I think it's a pretty good deal. I ordered bone in fried chk wings Gold fried chk original and Yangnyeom more sweet. I like the original better, it's crispy. When you put the sauce, it's not that crispy anymore. Their utensils are stored inside the drawer on the side of the table. There's also a bin for the bones and trash. Also I tried the Taiwan Lechee beer. It tastes like regular lychee drink. Btw, they also sell boba, but there's no menu. Overall is good if you are craving for Korean fried chk.

See all

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the crispy and juicy chicken, especially the gold fried and yangnyeom varieties, and appreciate the friendly service and clean, family-friendly space.

Hi, How many wings are in a half serving vs a whole serving? Also, can you please describe the 4 different dipping sauces: HM, H-BBQ, Yang Nyeom, and S&S?

Hello! 10-12 for half order and 20-24 for a full order.

I follow a sugar free low carb diet? Do you have any meats that aren't breaded and/or marinated/sauced with sugar? Thank you

Hello! All of our Fried Chicken are breaded or marinated with sugar. When we start making oven roasted chicken those are not breaded. You can check back in a month to see if we start making them. Thanks for reaching out!

This place doesn't have potato salad--that would be too pedestrian. Instead, you get pickled perilla leaves, pickled okra, pickled eggplant, pickled dried radish, and more. Also, my wife is vegan, and they had an entire vegan menu available, all ready to go. We used to live up in Shoreline and loved this place years ago. We were back in the neighborhood and decided to pop in on a whim. It is all spiffy and new and under new management. The owner and head chef was there, and she is a delightful lady. The service is top-notch, as her daughter was working there. The staff was very attentive. It feels less like eating at a restaurant and more like eating at your favorite Korean friend's mom's home after being spontaneously invited for dinner. The restaurant is meticulously clean and elegant, which makes you just want to eat. In fact, the food was so wonderful that I hardly spoke a word between moaning and eating. To cap off our meal, they provided this delicious cinnamon ginger drink to help settle our very full tummies. I wished the owner would come running out with packed banchan for me to take home, just to make sure I was eating well at home -- just like in those K-dramas. To sum this all up, this is food heaven. 감사합니다 to the Hae Nam and we cannot wait to come back and try more!

The service was great and the waiter explained many of the new dishes to us herself. The food came out very fast after ordering and though there were several other tables full of groups, they also got their food out quick as well. The noise level is moderate, but the high walls on the booths and the partitions between the larger seating area and the table and booth section helps to buffer the noise pollution between the areas. The La kalbi was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The dish came with a side bowl of rice and assorted bon chon. You could share this dish between a group of 2-3 or individually order it and be fulfilled.

Tables have a button that you can press to get a server's attention. For dinner they have a $35 and $45/person tiers. We got the cheaper version which didn't include short ribs and other more expensive cuts. It's self-serve buffet style where you go grab the protein to grill and the side dishes from buffet bars. Sliced beef is in a fridge and they have a selection for sauces and seasonings for dipping. Not necessarily the highest quality of meat, but it's AYCE so you can definitely fill up and get full. In this day and age, $35 is not a bad deal if you have a good appetite.

Stepping inside feels…read morejust like being back in Asia, and when I first discovered it, I drove all the way out here nearly 10 times in a single month. They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore. Regardless, the incredible food and lively vibe make every trip 100% worth the drive.

Since it was late we didn't get to refill throughout our meal since they closed the kitchen :( The dolsot bibimbap was pretty good - the sauce was tasty, and there was plenty of squid inside. However, my main complaint is that there was literally no crispy rice which is the entire point of dolsot bibimbap.
