    Revisited Hoodadak after many years; the menu has changed quite a bit; there's now chicken sandwiches when all there was used to be fried chicken and fries. We got the whole chicken ($30) with two sides (it's hilarious that these are called sides, it's just a small thing of pickled radish and pre-made cole slaw). We picked the soy garlic and sweet and spicy flavors; they're a little bit sweet but decent flavors. The chicken was cooked well and tender and the batter was crispy. The restaurant was completely empty besides us and it doesn't feel very Korean anymore. Service was quite minimal but it was fine for a sit down meal. Now with more Korean options in town than when Hoodadak first opened, the flavors here doesn't quite stand out amongst the crowd anymore.

    Soy garlic and sweet spicy

    Tried here today. Food was good but pricey. I ordered the large wings soy garlic and sweet and spicy. The menu in the restaurant needs to be updated. The services was good

    Large 18 piece wings

    Who doesn't like fried chicken? Particularly, Korean fried chicken? If you do know somebody, unfriend them. Hoodadak is part of the renaissance of Korean fried chicken here in the Houston area and Hoodadak is one of the franchises that seem to endure this niche food. When you enter the faculty, you'll notice how limited spacing is with only 4 sit down tables and a window side of booth/stools. However it is nicely decorated and set up. There is a second story but the staff said its closed due to a leak. (The cynical part of me thinks they didn't want to open the place up to save on A/C. Just wait until there's a lot of people waiting, bet they'll open up the area...). For a table of 4, we ordered a large 18 piece and a bulgogi fries. The wings were more reminiscent of regular American tasting fried chicken wings. Korean fried chicken should be more of a crispy shell rather than a crunchy batter. Unfortunately this was more closer to the crunchy part of the spectrum. Flavoring was delicious though. We're not big eaters, and we could have eaten more but we were adequately satisfied. I just find the pricing on regular good ol' fries to be outrageously overpriced at $7 for just a basket. Not to mention their sides were outrageously small. Barely feeds 2 people much less 4 people. Taste wise, chicken was decent, fries were good, but you definitely pay a premium for stuff here. At the end, it just feels like there should be more. Overall this whole experience was just 'OK'.

    Service was okay. I did just do takeout so can't speak much on that. The wait for the food was sort of disappointing but I guess I shouldn't complain too much if it's due to them making them "as fresh as possible". Flavor to everything was fine. Portions were big so at the end I said I should have opted for a 3 piece instead of 5. Same with the 7pc wings. Calamari app was alright. Probably won't go back but glad I got to check them out.

    Sweet and spicy and soy garlic wings

    Insane wings. To the next level. Mix your flavors and thank me later. In the back of the Asia town grocery market in Katy. The grocery has a food court in the back and they are the first stop on the right. It is not super quick because they ding make them till you order them but it is well worth the wait. These are not your bar grade chicken wings. They are huge and delicious.

    Whole chicken with our radish side
    Amy H.

    Been here multiple times and so far, I can say service and food is spot on reliable and consistent. Place and interior is unique and gives you an essence of being in the streets in Korea. In addition, it has an upstairs (for those who like to people watch like me haha). The flavors I enjoyed were galbi, hot, and soy garlic, and honorable mention sweet + spicy. Galbi (5/5) its slightly salty kinda reminded me of braised pork and flavorful. Hot (4.5/5) one of the best dry rubs I have tried. Savory (like chicken bouillon and heeeat goodness) . Soy garlic (5/5) a classic flavor for korean fried chicken iykyk. Tastes like how it should taste. *Pro suggestion to order a side of fries and if you feel extra, top it with bulgogi and their spicy mayo--your welcome. Fries are always flavorful and crispy!

    Restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. My boyfriend and I arrived on a Thursday night and it was pretty empty with plenty of seating. We ordered the 9pc wings (flavors:sweet n spicy & hot) and mozzarella bites. The mozzarella bites came with spicy ketchup and spicy mayo. The wings were hot and crispy.

    Soy garlic, honey chicken, and spicy
    Christine J.

    This restaurant has really come a long way in Houston! Starting as a local family owned business, I'm glad it spread to different parts of town because I absolutely love myself some Korean fried chicken! Now I've definitely tried different Korean fried chicken restaurants in Houston and this place really hits the spot! The meat is not dry, perfectly juicy, and crispy. Sometimes you go to a restaurant and the batter is too thick or the chicken is dry or the sauce just ain't right... but this place makes it just right. Don't know what to get? Try their soy garlic and honey chicken with some fries! The 8 piece combo usually fills me up well. I will eat this any day over KFC, Popeyes, or wingstop (no offense)!

    Super cute interior. Felt like I was in a kdrama sitting inside while it was pouring outside. The food was yummy. The fries were well-seasoned and crunchy. The wings were delicious. The popcorn chicken paired very well with pickled radish and ranch. Fast and friendly service.

    I visited this location as it seemed to be pretty popular, at least in Katy. This location, in Westchase, is a narrow space in a strip center with a few other asian businesses and they have a loft area with 4 additional tables. By the register, they have a beer tap with 6 draft beers. Happy hour is at night time 7 days a week, from 7-9 Sunday and 8-10 mon-sat. I ordered the 20pc wings which comes with 2 flavors, and cole slaw or radish. I chose soy garlic and sweet spicy and pickled radish as my side (since I had already eaten cole slaw once this week). I also added the cheese corn. I would say the cheese corn is pretty standard with melted Korean cheese over frozen corn kernels, with a little seasoning on top for good measure. It's served in a mini cast iron frying pan, similar to others in town. The chicken wings were hot and crispy. I didn't care for the soy garlic. Simply because the flavor isn't pronounced. I had only noticed the soy, and barely. The sweet spicy wings were doused in the sauce quite a bit and had an obvious flavor with a hint of heat. As much as I liked the wings here. I think I still prefer my spot in spring branch. It seemed a bit more authentic. At least it was in a Korean area, at least and offered more actual Korean dishes I've never seen before. Hoodadak seemed a little mainstream to me. One thing I appreciated was the fact if you sit upstairs, there is a small table by the stairs with extra utensils and napkins. You'll still need to walk downstairs to wash your hands after eating these sticky wings, but its still good to have those items at your fingertips without walking down the stairs.

    Half spicy and half soy garlic chicken wings

    Wow! Crispy, juicy, spicy, garlicky, and soyyy-ey! So much flavor!! Definitely recommend getting the chicken wings! They're so gooood!

    I am currently in Houston for a weekend trip and one of the locals recommended this place. So I decide to give it a try and it did not disappointttt! There is plenty of parking spaces and the decor of the place was very pop culture. Food: I got the medium 5 piece chicken strips (hot and spicy flavor) and it came with fries b it I replaced it with waffle fries for an additional $1. You get a choice of 1 sauce as well I went with ranch to be a little classic. For the side there were two choices of either radish or coleslaw. I went with the radish. Another selection that I got was the medium wings (soy garlic and original flavor). For the side, I picked coleslaw for a change. There are plenty of other options on the menu so you don't have to just stick to a certain selection. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It wasn't hard to chew and very scrumptious to say the least! I def recommend. For drinks there is a half off on drinks. There is also a selection of fountain drinks or tea as well.

    Small Popcorn Chicken - honey and soy garlic
    Angeline D.

    Just coming backing from a two week trip in Korea, I was craving some good KFC. Some friends of mine have suggested trying Hoodadak and I've had them bookmarked for the longest time. I'm not from the Cinco ranch/Katy area, but I was out there for a quick errand and decided to do take out. I ordered the small popcorn chicken for $15, in which the online ordering description says it includes 2 flavors, 1 dip, and 1 side (I chose the radish). Writing this now, I realized that I never received a dip. Looked back at the online ordering website and the dips all had additional prices. This may be something they should fix... My popcorn chicken was overall fair. Good size for a small order, could be for 2-3 people depending on your hunger level. Most of the pieces were really dry and I was disappointed with that. I did appreciate enough flavoring though. I preferred the honey flavor over the soy garlic. Their soy garlic was just a little too salty for me. I saw that they offer pa-dak and sweet onion, which I got to try in Korea, but oh man it's selling for $18?! I miss it and I know I shouldn't compare it to prices in Korea, but the price really turned me off. Even the $15 popcorn chicken was a bit on the pricier side for me. Higher prices could be a combination of the pandemic and inflation. It's tough times! I will say my experience with online ordering was easy and the food was prepared sooner than expected. The employees were friendly at pick up. No complaints there. I just suggest fixing that one glitch with the dipping sauce on their website. Overall, fair experience, but may have to try again some other time and give their wings a chance. This may be me shooting my shot, but maybe in the future Hoodadak can make some bburinkle chicken. That chicken was so good in Korea. lol

    Soy garlic wings. Yuck

    Are any items gluten allergy friendly?

    cron cheese rice cake cheese .mozzarella bites

    Noticed that the fries had a crispy coating .. are the fries gluten free friendly?

    It does seem like a flour coating so they are not. Note they do have side options like pickled daikon and cole slaw.

    Do you accept apple pay?

As an adult, I always gravitate towards this place when I come home since I love the vibes and of course all the country music and dancing! Pros: -Drinks are cheap ($6 for a Tito's and seltzer holy F) -People who work there are friendly -Great people watching -Lots of dancing (line dancing and 2 step!) -Men will actually ask me to dance... say whattttt -Live music weekly There's cover charge at night after a certain time and larger cover charges on the big headliner nights. I would advise going on a non-headliner night, my experience was pretty bleh with one of those. Too many people and the opening act was almost two hours long. It was like Dante's Inferno on repeat every time a new song started and all the seats were reserved so I was forced to stand for 4 hours. That was not fun. Also for the hardcore country music fans, this place has been the starting place for superstar artists such as Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan!
