    Sodam is such a solid Korean fried chicken chain with an array of great deals to choose from. I love how they offer their individual-sized combos, which is what I got this time around. If I remember correctly, I paid $13.99 for 5 bone-in wings (you can choose whatever sauce you'd like, I went with soy garlic; you can also go with boneless if ya want) + 2 sides (went with coleslaw + fries). A lot of times you have to decide between a half v full serving of chicken, so having this smaller option was clutch af for me bc I had just eaten not too long ago before meeting some homies here lol. They also have a great selection of Asian beers + soju, which is mando when chowing down on some Korean chicken.

    ate here with Dr. Sze and yoooooo...the food is good. so glad that there were leftovers so that I could eat more at home. they gave a lot of the complimentary complements, like the pickled radish. again, so good. I would have rated 5 stars this place, but the service did not compare. consistently messed up our order. we were pointing at the menu, showing pictures, and even spelling out the dishes. still messed up our order. they were apologetic, but really...we gave them multiple tries :( had to standby for the food to come by because waitress was mixing up orders! lots of tables and booths. lights were big and bright. they were playing K-pop music videos in the TVs at each wall. could barely hear the music and they were all different genres lol. a bit overwhelming visually. I would be neat if this place had a karaoke stage because at the back area (opposite side of where my table was), there was some room to have that implemented. again, just an idea, but this would have made this place wayyyy better than other restaurants in Seattle.

    Soy garlic chicken no bones

    The soy garlic chicken was AMAZING. I also really enjoy the sweet sauce chicken. I got the half and half for $33 with coleslaw. It's def for 2 people. I went on a weekday early lunch so the vibe was chill.

    Crispy chicken! Got take out on a Saturday night and was not that long of a wait. We got the half and half with golden and soy garlic. Tasty and crispy. Good casual spot to meet with friends. They have parking in the garage which is a huge plus!

    Sodam Chicken is one of my favorite Korean Fried Chicken places in Seattle. There's also a shoreline location that's been open a little longer than the Capitol Hill one, but this has everything the shoreline location does and is open late till 11pm. We love getting the half and half party wing fried chicken to try two flavors at the same time. The chicken is fresh, hot, and crispy and the sauces are well balanced. If you're not feeling fried food or want something a little healthier, they have oven roasted and stir fried options as well. The staff were very helpful in explaining the menu and the location is big and clean. Street parking was relatively easy to find.

    Came in to get some Korean fried chicken with friends, and was pretty disappointed. For a party of 3, we ordered kimchi fried rice, tteobokki, and half/half original/soy garlic (bone in). Tteobokki was good, kimchi fried rice was alright, and the chicken was below average. The chicken was super dry - to the extent that it was hard to swallow. They also messed up our order and give us boneless even though we ordered bone in. I've tried the Sodam location in Shoreline before and that was much better, so not sure if it's this location or they just had an off day. Either way it was bad enough that I probably won't come back here. Service was pretty minimal, I don't recall anyone coming by unless we explicitly called them over. Staff was friendly, though. Restaurant is pretty large and could accommodate big groups. There's also a retail parking garage, but spots are super limited and small.

    Ok I'm in Seattle for a convention with my son. Hungry and parking sux around the Airbnb. What's in walking distance. This place was 10 minutes away by foot. Looks good let go!!. Order the half and half chicken with golden fried and original roasted. Garlic fried rice Max got the ramen. The star for me are the roasted chicken so juicy!! 9/10 garlic fried rice 8/10 . But it all was very good. Must try!!

    03 RICE CRACKER CHICKEN (Boneless Only) S3. KIMCHI FRIED RICE
    Chloe L.

    HONEST review- We ordered the rice cracker boneless chicken and it came a little pink inside. We told our super nice waitress and she accommodated us, and brought back our order more cooked. Once it was fully cooked we were impressed by how tender the meat still was. We also got the soy garlic bone in, this one was great. Definitely recommend the classic fried chicken over the rice cracker to be on the safer side. We came on a weekday and it was pretty empty so we had very quick service.

    Delicious chicken! My husband and I made a stop here for some lunch and the food was so good! Street parking was easy to find. Food: + Started our meal with the Tokkochi mochi rice sticks + Half golden fried and half yangnyeom chicken mixed, Personally I enjoyed the boneless more because it was easier to eat and my favorite was the golden fried because it had a really nice crispiness to it. + Also got 2 sides of rice and the chicken came with their pickled radish. Ambiance of this spot is casual and can be seen as a great place to come at night for drinks with friends! Service was friendly and quick. Overall, a great spot!

    Nothing special and extremely overpriced. The worker was rude and took his sweet time taking orders and serving. I'm sure there are far better KFC places in Seattle.

    * you can never go wrong with Korean fried chicken * Pictured are the soy garlic and bbq hot half/half order with kimchi fried rice, chicken yakisoba, and fries. The soy garlic at @sodamgoodchicken is very mild in comparison to the spicy bbq which packs a good amount of spice. Hot enough to make you sip water but just enough to keep eating haha . Sodam does a good job serving the food hot and chicken super crispy which I appreciate. My cousin called their fries "healthy fries" because it did not come out salted. I've eaten here twice and I would come back but it's not always top of mind as a go-to Korean chicken spot though. There is usually no wait during dinner

    D3 SOY GARLIC CHICKEN

    It is hard to find good fried chicken around here, but I finally did here at Sodam Chicken! This place is exactly what I've been looking. Their portions are great, flavors, and the meat on the chicken wings are *chef's kiss* I ordered the soy garlic (half/half) to go and I was not disappointed. The pickup process was relatively quick and my order was nice and hot when I got it. The chicken was perfectly sauced, yet the chicken was still crispy. I would like to dine in next time and enjoy my chicken in house! Until next time.

    Oven BBQ Hot
    Trong N.

    A group of us came for dinner on a Wednesday. We each ordered about half order of chicken (for the most part, everyone couldn't finish the half order except maybe one or two people). A friend ordered the starter set for the group. It was fine, but what was really nice was that we got the starter set much sooner than when we got the chicken so we wouldn't get hangry. I ordered the oven bbq hot (boneless only) and it was really good. Really sticky though? Gave a few pieces out for others to try and they agreed it was the better flavor. Had some heat (spiciness) to it.

    Starter Set: mandu, french fries, mozzarella sticks

    Ask the Community - Sodam Chicken - Capitol Hill

    Menu does not identify whether they use chicken breasts, thighs, wings or legs. Do they have a chicken breast option?

    Hello. Thank you for reaching out. We have chicken wings, and boneless option is thigh or leg meat. Currently we don't have breast meat option.

Potato skins and garlic rice were good too, though less garlic would have been better. Could easily make this into a garlic egg fried rice and larger portions. The staff were super attentive and took time to explain everything to first time visitors. Steady stream of take out orders as seating is limited. Would come back to try the other sides too. Happy to report no reaction for gluten free member of our family, top marks for safety.

I've had sandwiches, bowls, tenders, thighs and drums. They're all good. The sandwiches are the high point in my opinion - particular shoutout to the Slawsome and Hot Honey. They're big and messy but tasty. Can't go wrong with them, and I frequently can't help but order one. The bowls are powerful. I've had both kinds on different trips and they're hard to do in a single sitting, whereas sandwich + side is not. Just be warned. The sides are straightforward - what you see is what you get. They tend to be a little more basic, or classic if you will, than the sandwiches. I like this, since they serve as a side/counterpoint. We tend to get the slaw and pot of gold. The fries are the battered style which are very good and combo well with the rest of the menu. Takeout times tend to be accurate and the staff have been working hard but helpful every time we stop in. Most importantly they've been consistently good every time we go - and often during peak busy times, so that speaks well of their kitchen staff. Top marks all around. The move to the new spot didn't slow them down a bit, so make sure you check the address before going if you haven't been in a few months.

I'll start with some positives: you can order directly on their website (as opposed to being forced to use some fee-heavy service like DoorDash), they're quick, and the Barn Burner sandwich was good. Now for the cons. Either they messed my order up or I was the fool here and screwed up when ordering online, but the four piece tendies I got were plain and utterly spice-less. Being a pepper head and spice fiend, this was a bummer, but it forced me to see that the chicken wasn't seasoned very well. Outright bland one might say. The chicken also had a kind of toughness to it. Not from being really dry or anything, but more from the raw cuts of meat not being trimmed correctly, like I was eating bits of tendon or something. Hey when I order tendies I thought that was cutesy-short for tenders not tendons! They weren't bad, but they were not very good either. The Barn Burner sandwich was decent though, and at a level three of spice, it had a nice heat. I'll give them another chance down the road, but ultimately, in a city that has so many great fried chicken options (Triangle Spirits, S/T Hooligans, and Sisters and Brothers), it's going to be hard to make the decision to choose them again after the meal I had.
