The food court was nearly empty at just after 7p I was greeted warmly by the cashier. I choose the Spicy Korean Chicken over the Sweet and Spicy Chicken. I was disappointed that the Spicy Korean Chicken was so sweet. I didn't want a sweet dish and yet that was what was served. I can only imagine how sweet the Sweet and Spicy Chicken is. The cashier's warm and friendly greetings where the highlight of the meal. read more

Located in the 2nd floor food court at HMart, Dada Chicken is a good option for korean style fried chicken for Hmart shoppers. Ordered two of the fried chicken plates. Comes with rice, salad, good amount of chicken, and one dipping sauce. Each plate The chicken was good, not fried too heavy, but the sauces (both ranch and mayo) didn't have much flavor. Note that the hmart parking structure is quite tight for larger suvs and there is a qr code for parking validation - 1st hr free and then $1/hr up to 4 hrs. read more

Dada Chicken - Fried chicken plate - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Daddy's chicken or that song, Da da da... ? I'm not sure what Dada means. This place is located inside H Mart, on the second floor. We wanted to try their wings but they were out so we settled for boneless regular fried chicken and soy garlic and some fries. The wait was about 20 minutes which is a good sign for making them fresh for you. No expectation is always a good rule of thumb sometimes. I was pretty satisfied with this fried chicken. Not too greasy but perfect pairing with some draft beer from Let Them Talk next door. I had some leftovers and it still tasted good the next day for lunch. So now I have to try their wings and drumsticks next time perhaps the Pearl City location. read more

Located in the HMart Kakaako food court (2nd floor), Dada Chicken is one of my top 3 places to get KFC or chicken wings in town. Honestly, I'll be going about my day and whenever a fried chicken craving comes in my head, thinking about Dada Chicken makes my mouth start to water. Their chicken is soo juicy with a perfect crisp level and tastes really fresh. It's made to order so it comes out steaming hot. I also love their meat to bone to breading ratio. I usually get either the Honey Garlic (dry) or Soy Garlic (wet). Sometimes the best of both and I order the Honey Garlic with a side of Soy Garlic dipping sauce. The honey garlic is a lighter flavor with a hint of honey. The soy garlic isn't too salty and gives a nice umami flavor. They offer some sides like rice (one order comes with 2 scoops), French fries, rice cake. And you can do wings or boneless style. At about ~$17.99-$18.99 for 10 pieces (half order) or ~$32.99-$34.99 for 20 pieces (full order), it's pricey but the quality is worth it enough where I don't mind spending the extra bucks. They offer some sides like rice (one order comes with 2 scoops), French fries, rice cake. And you can do wings or boneless style. Service is quick and you'll hear your number called over the food court speaker when ready. Since it's in the food court, the ambiance is very casual and there's lots of seating available. Not sure if you can order a full and get 1/2 and 1/2 of flavors, but I haven't tried asking. It'll be my mission at the next visit read more

Annyeong, annyeong, annyeong haseyo. Yeoboseyo. Hello, hello, hello. Hello. Sweet, spicy and savory. My tastebuds are on a Korean rollercoaster ride! LOL. Today, I had KFC. Yup, Korean Fried Chicken from Dada Chicken. Round 2 at H-Mart in Kakaako. You really can't go wrong going to this supermarket because it's a one stop shop for groceries, a nice meal and a yummy dessert! If you don't get me, just go and add it to your next supermarket errand. I ordered sweet and spicy chicken with spicy tteokbokki. Each bite of the sweet and spicy chicken was bursting in flavors. Then a bite of the spicy, chewy tteokbokki feels like you're under a fiery spell of so much flavors dancing in your mouth. Yup! That's exactly what I was feeling as I was enjoying each bite! This would be so good with a good beer! And, maybe some soju?! Maybe next time ;) My only wish is that the server/cashier would be a little more attentive...the place is crowded with hungry and happy food lovers.

One of my go to places when I'm at Hmart! All of their chicken flavors are great- my favorites are honey garlic and soy garlic chicken. Its well seasoned, and soooo flavorful. They always come out fresh- hot n crispy. Parking is validated after 1hr otherwise it is free. The only reason i gave 4/5 is the pricing, it seems a little overpriced. Also I know it can be slow sometimes but I often see the staff on their phone/headphones in even with customers around read more

Dada Chicken - 06. Spicy Korean-Style Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have no idea where the name came from. The cashier told me that in Chinese characters in means an abundance of chicken. OK, sounds good to me. I purchased a 20 piece traditional wings. I couldn't decide between the soy garlic or honey garlic. The cashier explained that the honey garlic is more of a dry rub and the soy garlic is more sauced. Well, I'm a sauce person, so I went with the soy garlic. The wings were terrific. It was crispy and the inside was juicy. The sauce had a nice balance to it. It was soy, but wasn't overly salty. I could taste the sweetness in it, kind of like a light teriyaki. I've also tried their mayo wings and that's delicious as well. read more

You can't go wrong with Korean fried chicken! I hope this is not a fad but a staple that will stick around because this new KFC beats the KFC that we've always known (since KFC stops carrying hot wings). I love Dada Chicken because their wings are hot, crispy with a flavorful batter, meat that juicy and not bland, and most of all, they give out all flats! (Personally not a fan of the drum part.) I easily can eat all 10 pieces myself. I've tried their mayo and soy garlic, and they're both scrumptious. I never knew about this place until the food court hosted an event for the Yelp elites. Ever since that evening, it's always been on my mind to come back and get a full order of the wings, which was what I did today. :-P Conveniently located in the H Mart food court in the 2nd floor, but it sucks that they don't validate parking which is very weird. I hope they start doing that to encourage more people to enjoy the food and drinks here. read more

Dada Chicken - 04. Soy Garlic Chicken with sauce on the side - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I certainly didn't have to cross the road to Dada Chicken. Located up in H Mart Kaka'ako Market Eatery parking is super convenient in the adjacent building with the first hour is free, I was conflicted with giving them a try with the various reviews but I had to give them a chance and who doesn't love fried chicken...mmmmm!!! With six types of seasonings to choose from to have as wings or boneless either half order (10pcs) or full (20pcs)... - Original which is plain - Sweet and Spicy - Mayo - Soy Garlic - Honey Garlic - Spicy Korean Style The real dilemma is not knowing how the sauces are just by relying on the staff's knowledge sometimes isn't enough. I really did want spicy for sure but not salty or sweet and I did noticed "Mayo" is something you don't really see and I asked if it's spicy which he said it was so I decided on that. The Market Eatery does have a great unique system that work cohesive with all vendors so when your order is ready it announces is with the restaurant name and order number so you know if your order is ready. With everything made to order it is a wait but not very long in my opinion, the Mayo sauce does come on the side making this a great shareable item for someone who prefers it plain. The sauce though for me is not spicy at all though I do see where a slight kick would come in though I really wouldn't say it's spicy at all in fact it's like a house made tartar and I don't like pickles at all this one I did like. The coating is ridiculously crispy and pretty thick for some I did t mind it at all, but the real struggle is that the boneless is not a chicken nugget (it's a great thing!) but pieces of chicken so that princess bites aren't happening and when you have a hot steaming pice of chicken I needed a fork to pry some pieces into bits so I don't burn myself lol!! It's a matter of preference all in all I really liked it they have ranch and ketchup you can help yourself to for free but that Mayo sauce is a winner winner for my chicken dinner! Thank you! read more

Ive come here for the spicy fried chicken before but decided today to try something new. I was informed that the best seller is their honey garlic chicken. So I ordered a half order of it and a side of rice for like $20 something. The chicken was awful. Drenched in a ton of garlic powder and the slightest drizzle of honey. The batter was super thick and the chicken was beyond dry. I couldn't finish it and ended up throwing out most of the food. Never had a problem before with the spicy chicken, but this was just terrible. read more

Dada Chicken - Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fried chicken in a food court. This venue is clean and service is quick with plenty of seating. There are many restaurant choices in the food court if you and your friends would like something different. The fried chicken was good, typical, and what you might expect. The serving size was generous. There are some drinks for sale at the counter. Alternatively there is bubble tea and coffee at other restaurants if you want something else. The line for this counter was the longest, so we decided to try it. When your food is ready, they announce it over a food court speaker you can hear while seated so you don't have to stand there and wait. Access to the food court is ADA friendly with an elevator. Park on the street (free on weekends and holidays) or in the adjacent parking garage. There are also Wheels scooters outside. read more

I was looking for a more convenient Von's substitute. Did I find it at Dada's Chicken? Ordering is simple, we got the honey garlic fried chicken wings (20pc). It took the normal waiting time of about 20-25 minutes and came in a nice basket. Smelled and looked great! You could feel the heat coming off of the wings and it smelled more oily than honey, though we dived right in. ***CRUNCH*** crispy, juicy chicken skin! My initial thought was ohhhhh yummm. This hit the spot and my fried chicken cravings. It was generous in size, hot right out of the fryer, and we nabbed seats nearby in the nice AC. What more could you want? I think this place is a great addition to the HMart food court, probably a necessity if you're craving Korean Food. Would I deem these equal or better than Von's? I think size wise yes. The size of each wing was about the same as Von's chicken. BUT the taste was lacking. You pay extra for seasoned wings so I expect flavor, but there was almost none. Absolutely no garlic taste. It was seasoned with a powder form of honey and garlic, so it wasn't sticky. I tried the white powder on it's own and tasted literally nothing. The oil from the chicken was stronger in taste than the flavoring. So this particular flavor does not meet my expectations. If I was craving KFC again, I'd get their regular golden wings or maybe their glazed wings. But if I wanted the classic honey garlic I'm making the trek down to a Von's chicken for sure. read more

Met a friend for beer tasting @ the HMart foodcourt (not recommended...but more about that later) and while we chatted away, noticed the sign for this new Korean fried chicken place. Once friend and I said our goodbyes I walked over to find out the story of Dada Chicken. Christina was so gracious and pleasant and didn't seem bothered at my endless questions, though I would have understood if she was! Lol. Now I don't usually go out of my way to try brand new places. And as I had learned, Dada JUST opened a few days prior and was still working details out. Still, do love me a good KFC so what the hay, let's do this! And, so happy I did! The chicken was juicy yet crispy. My order came out fast. And Christina, Chef's niece, was so kind to explain the different sauces she threw in my bag. She explained that usually one order would come with one sauce (right now offered on the side) with additional sauces available at a dollar more. Sauces tried and loved: 1) a slightly spicy yet sweet standard KFC sauce -loved, 2) shoyu garlic sauce - perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor -love, 3) (listed as) mayonnaise- wow! Yes it's a mayonnaise base with I think subtle jalapeño-my favorite. In fact, since I could...favorite combination was a dip in the mayonnaise then a dip in the shoyu garlic * BAM! Also enjoyed the side of pickled radish which totally complimented the chicken. Even though I shared a few pieces of the chicken with other friend (later) she did NOT get any of the pickles. Hah! Thrilled that the portion size was generous (half order is 10 meaty pieces) and more than fair priced (my other favorite KFC is only 6 pieces for similar price). And, unlike some others that only offer the mid section wing, Dada had both the mid section AND the drumette portion pieces. Yes, the little things make me happy. :-) Parking is easy as there is lots of metered street parking. There is also validated parking in the adjacent lot with purchases over $10 but I usually don't even bother. My only hope is that in time Dada Chicken offer more sides. ...Or, since it's a foodcourt...be sure to buy some kimbap or jun or kimchee from downstairs before reaching the counter! Solid 4.5 stars for this shining new business! I will be back again soon! Seriously, thinking of going today while prices still at introduction low!! read more

I love Korean fried chicken but I was the only person in my group that had it. I purchased one plate to share with the family. After one wing they quickly went back to order more to eat and then some to go for later. The service was good. The staff were friendly and the food came out piping hot. This location is on the second floor of the HMart amongst several other eateries in the food court. After you order and pay, you are given a ticket with a number. You can go sit with your party and wait for your number to be called over a PA system that announces the restaurant name and ticket number. Public Bathrooms in their area require a code (5678) that someone from another restaurant was kind enough to share with us. I would Definitely go back and enjoy additional flavors of chicken. Ain't nothin but chicken wing! read more

Dada Chicken - 05. Honey Garlic Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

H mart has a food court on the second floor and one of their eateries is Dada Chicken. They have several choices of chicken wings, original, sweet and spicy, mayo, soy garlic, honey garlic, and spicy Korean style. Service was very fast. It took them only 15 minutes to prepare my food. The meal was cooked fresh and they don't make the wings until ordered. The area was big since it was a food court with several food establishments. The original chicken was good and deep-fried to perfection. It's not oily and crunchy outside and soft and chewy inside. Since this is the first time I've been to H mart, I will come back again and try their other flavors read more

7/3/22 Dada Chicken Left wing chicken at the Market Eatery, food court above HMART Kaka'ako closed sometime after Mother's Day and Dada Chicken is now open in that corner spot! (Pearl city new hmart is advertising left wing chicken on their poster, anyone know if it's really opening there? ) Dada Chicken is cooked well and the outside is definitely super crispy!!! Order came out HOT!!! When we bit into it it was still steaming hot!! It's so crispy it definitely is a mess to eat the crispy breading on the chicken is a little heavy and thick so when you bite into it, it makes a mess! Got the 20 piece chicken wings $29.99 and it comes with two containers of the same sauce (we tried the garlic soy), if you want additional sauces you have to pay for them. Totally do not understand their price board (menu says $1.50/$2/$4.99) for the sauce. After trying the soy garlic we went back and asked to purchase the other two sauces, sweet & spicy and mayo, first he said it would be $4 then told him we only wanted one container of each sauce and it changed to $3 (assuming it's $1.50 for each small container of sauce) have no clue what costs $4.99 though. Dipping Sauces Sweet & Spicy (not spicy at all but thick tasted like a sweet sriracha sauce Soy Garlic (with sesame seeds not thick, not super garlicky flavor) Mayo (a very nice citrusy tarter sauce) Favorite sauce combo was dipping it in the sweet & spicy and the Soy garlic! The combo reminds us of a gangjeong flavor. For the fries dipped it in the sweet & spicy and the mayo which made it similar to an aioli dipping sauce! Fries weren't anything special not super crispy and some were crinkle cut and some were straight cut. Wish they were fried a bit longer.

Finally ventured into H Mart's second floor food court during a work lunch, and I have to say I wasn't that thrilled with the choices for meals. The beer bar and dessert places looked cool, will go back to check those out. I decided on this fried chicken restaurant and while the chicken was freshly fried and they gave you a lot for the price, I have to say it wasn't a memorable meal. A week later, I can't even remember how it tasted. Maybe it's better if your pour all the sauce over it, but I prefer sauces to enhance the food, not carry the entire flavor. The server was friendly, the entire place was clean and bright, and the portions were large - gave an extra star just for those factors! read more

This isn't my favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot on the island, but it gets the job done. Dada Chicken replaced Leftwing. I believe Leftwing moved to the Pearl City Hmart location. The fry used is lighter than Leftwing, which is good, but it's not AS good as Leftwing. Their prices are similar, but they charge for extra stuff like sauces. So far, I've ordered their Honey Garlic Boneless Chicken Plate(rice, pickles, dipping sauce), fries, and 20 pieces (full) of the Original Fried Chicken. The Honey Garlic flavoring is just some powder sprinkled on the chicken. It didn't give it much of a taste. The service is kind, and you're given a number for your order. It normally takes around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your order size. They're located in the back of the Hmart food court next to the beer station(not sure if it's closed or not?). read more

Expensive and not what i expected. The boneless chicken had a lot of fat and no flavor. The soy garlic sauce was just okay. I expected the sauce to come on the chicken yet they give it to you on the side in a small container. I did not care for their so called salad, didn't look appealing. From a plate that cost over $16, all I ate was the steamed rice which I could have gotten cheaper somewhere else. read more

The fried chicken offered here was really delicious. Prices were fair for a good amount of fried chicken. We just had to wait about 15-20 min to get our food and they didn't even seem that busy the time we went. Aside from this one minor detail, we had a very pleasant experience here. read more

Wanted some fried chicken to accompany our shrimp scampi plates we got from neighboring Giovanni's, and was extremely disappointed. For nearly $15 USD for the fried chicken plate, I expected better than something I could make at home. Maybe I should've gotten a box instead of their plate, but even their fried chicken was not impressive. It came with six pieces, rice, salad, and radishes. The size of the chickens were laughable, like frozen chicken nugget sized, and the batter was barely there. The salad was and looked basic with iceberg lettuce, baby carrots, and a thousand island dressing. Radishes were overly sweetened and not sour. The worst part that I can't forget is the sauce for the chicken on the side -- I chose soy garlic. It was basically sugar soy sauce with a disgusting aftertaste. Free parking for 1 hour in the neighboring lot on Pohukaina St. Be sure to keep your receipt from here or other another food stall (highly recommended) to bring downstairs to the HMart cashiers to help validate if you need more time. read more
