Love Dak! This is definitely one of the best places for jumbo chicken wings in finger-licking good sauces AND great bulgogi ddukbokkee.
I went with a group of 6 people and after waiting after ordering for about 10 minutes, we were able to get a table but be warned, this is not a good place for large groups. It's also not a place you go for the ambiance but it is very clean and brightly lit.
The wings are enormous...we ordered 10 wings and bulgogi ddukbokkee for 4 people, which was more than enough. The other 2 people in our group ordered the same amount and they had a ton leftover, which is always a plus when dining out! We tried the soy sauce and spicy sauce, both are great but I prefer the spicy sauce because it had a nice sweetness to it along with the spicy kick. The wings had a lot of meat too. The bulgogi ddukbokkee is a must-try. It seems like they lightly fry the rice cakes because they have a wonderful crispness on the outside. The wings are made to order though so although you know you're getting fresh wings, you will have to wait at least 15-20 minutes. SO WORTH IT.
I will definitely come here again, despite the distance from the city, and I highly recommend. If you like Crisp, you will LOVE Dak.
This was an ok place. Â The food was good. Â My name is Dak, so it was more a novelty for my friends to eat Dak Chicekn at Dak with Dak. Â I have zero complaints and nothing bad to say about the place. Â But it wasn't necessarily spectacular.
I would go again, if I was in the area or someone else I was with had a hankering for it. Â But probably won't go that far from where I usually am just to eat there.
If you're in the area, for sure try it out. Â The Dak sauce was very good. Â (soy, ginger and garlic)
Everything about this place is unoriginal. Â From the paper towels on the table to the silver bowls. Â I guess imitation is the best form of flattery, but this is just a bad honk kong knock off of Crisp. Â From the jumbo wings to the quirky Korean drinks.
At least they added some side options not avaiable at Crisp, but a sad attempt of duk boki. Â Old stale duk that had been reheated once too many times. You can tell when some duk is mushy and no longer holding its form and yet some pieces are rock hard. Â There wings looked awesome coming out, but fizzled on taste and sauce flavor. Â My mother tried their bibimbop but was not happy. Â Imigrant mother that never waste any food decided to throw hers away. Â Not a good sign.
But I am hopeful, since they seems truly kind and hard working. Â I wish to see my fellow Koreans succeed. Â I will try again, but I hope they decided to do something unique to them and not rip off others.
