Chicken was crispy, hot, and flavorful. I got the spicy chicken skewer. It was too spicy, almost painful to eat, but it was good.

Korean fried chicken with sauce selection. Small store limited space for dine in We had the plain chicken and other the sweet chili sauce aside. It's okay I had better fried chicken elsewhere

Partner wanted tteokbokki, so this place popped up next to us. Small little shop with only a counter and much sitting area. The service was somewhat slow despite we were the only one there, waited more than 15 minutes for the food and after seeing it, surprised it cost so much for so little rice cakes. To the food review 2.8/5 - tteokbokki - I usually think it wouldn't be too bad as most rice cakes taste pretty good, but this one felt stale/cold and very stiff. Definitely lost its bounciness and chew. Felt like its old or been sitting there for a while and just tossed in the sauce. Was quite disappointed by not only the amount of rice cakes for the price but the flavor/texture of it as well. Not sure if i'll go to this place again, but tteokbokki isnt their main food item so maybe they don't focus too much on it.

I'm surprised I haven't heard more buzz about this spot. UmmaDak was a solid option for Korean fried chicken in the international district, just across the street from the light rail station. The chicken is crispy, covered in sauce (we throughly enjoyed both the Honey Dak and UmmaDak flavors), the pieces are much bigger than bite-sized, and the mix-plate was a great deal for $14.99. The side of instant rice is just that, but was a nice addition to our meal for an extra couple dollars. The k-cabbage salad is just plain shredded cabbage, and added a needed freshness to our meal. The space is small, and there's no seating inside, just a few tables to stand at, but we enjoyed taking our meal across the street to eat outside. It was a great option for a meal in the international district before a Sounders game, I would love to come back!

Umma Dak (Original Korean Sweet Chili)

This has to be one of the most flavorful chicken dishes I've had. They absolutely cover the chicken in whichever sauce you choose and they even allow you to choose multiple flavors if you get a large bowl. The service was pretty fast and even if it wasn't, the atmosphere is pretty cute. The chicken was very crunchy and they had lots of sides to choose from from rice, to pickled daikon radish.

Came in because I was in the area and it sounded like a good option! Was here for lunch and it is very filling for a good price! The sauce on the wings were a little on the sweeter side, so I would suggest getting a skewer if it's only you, but you most def can take it home and eat more. The wings are boneless and pretty crispy. Service was good. Wings were out in 10 minutes. Good ambiance. Which there were chairs to sit, but since there is a limited eating space with only 2 tables it makes sense why they want you to stand.

This place does the job for a quick chicken fix but that's about it. It's a fast casual type of place, with standing tables to enjoy your food away from the cold. Shout out to our cashier who was eager to answer questions to clarify the menu, and give suggestions for things like reducing saltiness in the fries because of how naturally salty they were! The honey butter sauce is soooo good. Probably one of the most popular items from what I've seen. The Umma sauce was solid and I'm sure the rest of the flavors are fine. However, the chicken itself is pretty flavorless. Almost like it was just directly breaded and put in the fryer. So while the flavor shines in the sauces, would be nice to have that classic KFC marinade that makes this style of chicken so good. Not sure if I'd particular come back any time soon but just maybe if I'm craving something with honey butter.

We took a weekend trip to Seattle and UmmaDak was first on our list of spots to try out. This is definitely one place you'll want to stop at too! My family and I waited 5-10 minutes per order. Two downsides: some items on the menu were sold out before noon and dine-in consisted of pub tables, no chairs. Since we were on foot majority of the morning, we wanted to sit but that didn't stop us from ordering and enjoying our meal. I ordered a mix of flavors in a large bowl. They also have a smaller size bowl and skewer option if large is too big. My favorite flavor was the soy garlic while my family enjoyed the plain and Korean sweet chilli. Aside from the food, the inside of this restaurant is trendy and a great spot to take Instagram-worthy pics while munching on some tasty dak (chicken)

Kelly S.

I tried their original crispy chicken bowl and while the amount of food was good, the chicken was rather dry. Without any sauce, it lacked flavor and was bland. I just happened to go by and decided to try it out, but I wouldn't make it a point to go back. They have just standing bars so you can't really sit inside. Plus, they were out of rice cakes so I couldn't try that.

Honey Dak (Honey Garlic Butter) and Bul Dak (Spicy Hot)
Pooja S.

I came here during the international district restaurant walk, where they were offering $6 chicken which sounded great. There was a decently long line, but it definitely moved quite quickly and was able to put in my order! The cashier was extremely nice and efficient. Due to the restaurant walk situation, it was very crowded inside, and all the tables and walls were extremely full. I ended up waiting for my food outside. I got my food in about 15 min. The chicken was very hot and very crispy. The flavor of the honey garlic was really good, and the hot chicken has a nice kick. Overall good food, and I'd recommend if you like Korean fried chicken!

Umma Dak (Original Korean Sweet Chili) and So Dduck So Dduck (1qty)
Lisa L.

Right outside the train station this was our first stop to our little food tour. My friend and I wanted to grab something quick as we were both super hungry. I got the ummadak and so dduck so dduck, both were good and super filling. The so dduck was on the spicier side for me but that's because I've become old and can't handle spice anymore the chicken was crispy on the outside but moist on the inside. They were also hosting a Labubu giveaway that day, but my friend and I weren't going to be there when they drew the winner. Service is pretty quick and the place was pretty packed. There is only standing space and high tables to eat, no seats around. Minus one star because my stomach didn't agree with the fried chicken unfortunately but I am sensitive to oily foods.

He offered great menu suggestions and shared the story behind the restaurant--his brother designed the space, and he built it with the help of friends, which made the experience feel even more special. The menu is Thai-forward with a few standout dishes from other Asian cuisines mixed in thoughtfully. The décor is gorgeous--an elevated, glamorous tribute to the water buffalo that feels bold yet refined. We ordered the Miang Kham, Crying Tiger, and Mango Salad. I always order Miang Kham when I see it since it's such a rare find, and this one was excellent. The Crying Tiger was tasty but came out more well done than the medium-rare we ordered. That said, we still finished it because the dipping sauce was fantastic and the purple-and-white sticky rice was delicious. The Mango Salad was beautifully prepared with shredded mango that had just the right crunch and tartness. Generous portions served. Even during a busy late afternoon, the chef handled guests with ease and a big smile, serving beautifully executed dishes and cocktails. Very impressive. We'll definitely be bringing friends here next time we're in Seattle. Tip: They do true Thai spice levels here--proceed with caution."

I booked a reservation weeks out and we got our party of nine right in for brunch on a Sunday. We just loved the vibe of this place from the moment we arrived. The decor. The ultra friendly staff who greeted us and sat us at our table. And I always love an open kitchen in the dining room. This was the last meal with family before we headed back home to Hawaii later that evening. So the goal was to order as many dishes as possible and share share share. We ordered the Tower of Chengdu Wings, Japanese Zosui, Burmese Laphet Thoke salad, Caribbean Pineapple Cornbread, World Butter Board and Beirut Hummus. Talk about a dance party on your palate. Every dish was so flavorful, thoughtfully prepared and so damn tasty. Broke da mout to be exact. The wings were amazing and packing heat with Thai chilies all over. I avoided the chilies and devoured the chicken. Yum. I loved the Burmese tea salad, cornbread and hummus. The World Butter Board is a must if you're in the mood. They have a great selection of cocktails and beers too. The Kat Chai was refreshing and delicious...and the Rupee Beer Basmati Rice Lager was something I never had before. That was really nice as well with the meal. After we finished our meal we couldn't help but notice all of the different collectibles displayed in the wall. This character with big red hair caught my wife's attention. She was excited to find out they actually made shirts with the character on it...so we also left with some Nue swag. All in all a great Sunday morning for bunch here at this spot. Awesome food, excellent service and a paid lot right next door for convenience.

Once seated and the rest of the party arrived the service was quick and courteous. I ordered the "chicken and waffle", friends had the "sunny bunny" and the French tacos. Shared the corn bread. Chicken was super yummy! The sichuan pepper sure was tingly and the generous sprinkle of birdseye chili on top was giving enough heat to make the coffee a little uncomfortable. And no, that's not a bad thing, quite the opposite. Cornbread is almost impossible to cut without turning into a head of crumbles, but the flavor is on point. Note: the "topped with coconut shavings" is an understatement. There's almost as much coconut as corn here. So if you're not a huge fan of coconut you may want to steer clear. The place is hustling and bustling, and there is little space between the tables, but while seated you don't mind; the noise level is ok and your conversations don't carry between tables. Been quite a while since I was here last, and as with every time I do I wonder why I don't come more often... Great place.

Back to my rave: this place is comfy and a great place to just sit in when it's chilly outside. There's a comfy couch near the entrance, many knickknacks strewn around the inside and it's brightly lit to the point where you feel like you're at home instead of a cafe. The owner of the place is very sweet and welcoming, and the pastries shown around the area looked so delicious. For this visit, my friend and I got the Thai green tea latte, key lime tea, egg tart and a slice of tiramisu crepe cake. The egg tart was warm and yummy, and quite big too so it has a mochi-like layer inside it. The tiramisu crepe cake had tons of layers of crepe and cream along with the tiramisu powder sprinkled on top. This was creamy, delightful and calming all around, that's how good this cake was! My key lime tea is a mix of Thai tea and fresh lime juice, and I'm surprised that neither part interfered with each other too much given one is sweet and the other relatively sour.

Strawberry Snowie Frappe - it's a solid dessert. Very sweet and likely double blended because it's not super icy, rather the liquid collects at the bottom.
