Holdaak Fried Chicken Chicken Restaurant

The fried chicken sandwich is a must try. It was nice they had the special two chicken sandwiches for 14.99 and you can mix and match so I got the spicy one and an original one. They came with good size definitely can make you full. I can only finish one after had the fries. The sauces and the add-ons make the sandwiches even better.

This is a twist on spicy chicken’s sandwich. The Seoul Spicy chicken sandwich packed some serious flavor and the addition of pickled radish completely changes the game! The original sand was great a bit more on the milder side. Their fries are great just right for most, I wish there was bit more seasoning so it have bit more of a kick

Holdaak is one of the most unique chicken shops out right now, and in one of the best ways possible. Hot chicken might be the current trend, but Holdaak stuck to their own style that holds its own amongst the rest. I was interested in Holdaak when they first opened because it seemed like a Korean spin on the most popular Nashville Hot chicken restaurant in California, from the menu style to the chicken. I was completely thrown off on my first visit, because it is absolutely nothing like hot chicken or Korean fried chicken flavourwise, in the most pleasant way. While they do serve a variety of Korean fried chicken style wings and sauces, the main stars in my opinion are the spicy tenders and sandwiches. The sandwich is very well balanced with the pickled vegetables, which are a nice change of pace from the typical mayo/vinegar coleslaw bunches found in other chicken shops. They help round out the comeback sauce, which is more mayo heavy and seems to complement carbs much more than any other "signature" sauce I've had. The best way to summarise the sandwich is as if there was a fried chicken banh mi, spiced with hot pot flavours. On that note, the seasoning of the chicken truly does remind me of hot pot. That's a bit broad, but there's strong umami flavours throughout each bite as if it was powdered with dried up Szechuan stock. I'm not familiar enough with my spices to discern the taste that well, but it's truly unique to Holdaak and keeps me coming back for more. On top of that, the breading has an great amount of texture to it that keeps each bite crunchy. The fries are cut well thickness wise and dusted with similar seasoning, with the slice of bread buttered and toasted on one side. These are served with every order of tenders and while they are just sides, they're ridiculously addicting and pair well with the sauce. I never really dip toast or fries in these sauces at other shops since it becomes a bit much, but there's a slight sweetness that keeps me coming back for more at Holdaak. Originally, I found that the breading did not hold up very well and often found myself pulling complete tenders out of their "shell" with my teeth. Despite this, I continued to enjoy the tenders almost every month and over time this no longer became an issue. Props to Holdaak for this improvement over time, while maintaining consistent taste! Holdaak holds a strong place in my heart now as my go to comfort food. The menu items have strong value and taste, while also being available relatively late at night. I'm glad to see this business expanding and getting the recognition is deserves as well.

Review of a Korean Chicken Sandwich If you’re craving a hearty, flavorful chicken sandwich, this Korean chicken sandwich is a must-try! The first thing you’ll notice is its impressive size—this sandwich is huge and packed with juicy, tender chicken. The portion of chicken is incredibly generous, perfectly fried with a crispy exterior, and seasoned with a delicious blend of spices that bring a distinct Korean kick.

Overall, a great place to eat. Big portions, very reasonably priced, crispy fry on the chicken and good tasting food. Ordered the 5 pc chicken strips and could only eat 2 and the fries, the strips are big, think turkey strips. Also ordered the caramel soy chicken wings and they were delicious. Sweet and crunchy! Wife had the chicken sandwich which had marinated veg on it, also, very tasty and big! Bring your appetite !!! We also ordered a side of corn salad......I, personally, am not a fan of it. To me, it tasted like frozen corn, ranch dressing and seasoned fry bits on top. But I would recommend trying it, you might like it. The fries were delicious and tasty when dipped into the spicy sauce. They offer original and spicey fry on the chicken. The spicey is not that spicey, so don't be afraid of it, its a very mild burn. Personally, the spicey chicken was a bit too greasy, maybe the original is not as greasy. Again, great food, great price.....go try Holdaak !!!

Delicious chicken tenders, wings, and sandwiches! Their breading has a great crunch to it that reminds me of those crispy ramen snacks. It'd be nice if they had even spicier options since theirs wasn't enough for us. The pickled items are a great addition to the chicken sandwiches as they lighten up the oiliness of the juicy chicken. Above all, the menu items are all at a very reasonable price. Would come again.
