    Sodam lunch special with a spicy sauce
    Marlee K.

    Once again Sodam good! Had the lunch special with boneless Golden chicken, coleslaw, and mondu. It's a holiday so I had an Asaki beer (on tap). Nice friendly prompt service. Felt very welcome.

    Half and Half !

    This place is really good, and the food is delicious. Definitely Korean-style food! Original is more delicious than seasoned chicken. I liked roast chicken the most.

    Half and Half D-5. Gang-Jung Chicken D-1. Gold Fried Chicken S-4. Shrimp Fried Rice all super delicious!
    Ash G.

    So I brought the kids with me this time and yep it's a winner!! Parking is at the back for anyone asking, but as soon as you walk in your greeted warmly by their team and seated. I love the little drawers in the side that house all the chopsticks and napkins (if you didn't know, now you do) Kids were loving the K-pop on TV but the real hero was that Golden Fried Chicken, hands down my favorite chicken. My youngest wanted some shrimp so we also ordered the Shrimp Chicken (barbecue sauce) and just a note that this can't be split via their 50/50 option. We also got the Shrimp Fried Rice which is very flavorful and yep I couldn't find any leftovers the next day because it's just that good! The only sorta disappointment was the Starter Set we got fries, onion rings & Egg Roll, I could not force myself to eat the Egg Roll the flavor and texture was wrong but the fries and onion rings were fine (not the best but still ok) we also had the chicken yakisoba not the most amazing dish of the night but solid! Love this place, hope they come over to the Eastside!!

    Spicy yang nyeom + honey mustard

    We ordered take out from sodam on Xmas Eve and everything was ready quick but fresh! It's def generally a better experience to dine-in to eat korean fried chicken/korean food in general but oh well lol. The golden chicken wings were still hot/fresh, which was a huge plus. The breading to chicken ratio was perhaps a lil off (too much breading, not enough chicken), but again, who am I to complain when the were offering a BOGO + were even open at dinner time on Xmas Eve. I will say, I wish they gave more sauce and/or offered the yang nyeom/honey mustard in bigger containers.

    We ordered using Uber Eats. Our choices were gold fried chicken and soy garlic chicken. Picking up was easy. They had easy access to parking as well as street parking. Staff was friendly and courteous as we did a quick pick up. Good interior and family-friendly. Both gold fried and soy garlic chicken were very delicious. I especially love the size of each piece. They are perfectly sized for single grab with one hand and does not require both hands to enjoy the taste. It is difficult to find good Korean fried chicken places in North Seattle and we are glad that Sodam Chicken is nearby for our occasional cravings. Sodam has a variety of flavors available and we are looking forward to trying each and every flavor. And as other reviewers mentioned, they are indeed addicting!

    We love getting takeout here and it was especially great when they helped raise funds for my daughter's school. The golden fried chicken is so addicting! My kid kept stuffing her mouth. I also enjoyed the tteok bokki and bulgogi dish! Haven't dined in before but takeout has been delicious every time.

    10 piece combo x2 ($32 each, $64 total).
    Max W.

    This review is primarily for the specific item I ordered and the portion/price for it. I've been here a few times and was craving chicken this evening. I had an uber eats gift card and noticed Chicken Sodam was running a BOGO on their 10 piece chicken. Usually $32 for one order, it was now 2 for that price. I thought that was a great deal so I ordered that, yet when I picked up the food and looked inside I couldn't help but feel like the price was either wrong on Uber, or the portion was just really, really small. $32 for 10 small pieces of chicken seems really overpriced. The chicken itself is still good! However, to me it feels like they doubled the price of the item ($16 seems realistic) then added a "special" calling it a BOGO. I have enjoyed going here for the past few years - lesson learned is always eat in store.

    Family combo set 1. Soy garlic and yangnyeom chicken.
    Cheol K.

    Ordered the family combo set number one which consists of two boxes of fried chicken. We opted for the bone in chicken. For flavorings we got the soy garlic and the yang nyeom. Both were excellent, and the chicken was crispy on the exterior. But the soy garlic wings were absolutely phenomenal. Probably some of the best that I have had. We also got some kimchi fried rice and yakisoba noodles. The Mandu was fried really well and tasted delicious. The kimchi fried rice had great flavor as I would expect. The combo meal also comes with a 2 L soda. Which for three or four people should be enough. Speaking of enough, there is enough food to easily feed more than four adults. We had so much left over and we're so stuffed. This place is a must visit if you have a crew or even just are by yourself and have a craving for Korean fried chicken. Highly recommend

    Bill X.

    Recommended by a Korean friends. That's the best wings I've ever had in Seattle. The original wings are hella crispy, the one with the sauce is ok, not a big fun of the sauce. Will go back for sure!

    Fried chicken with Korean BBQ sauce
    Brett D.

    i have been here three times and each time I go here the chicken is perfectly fried. This time I got the BBQ sauce and it was the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, and the dumplings were delicious. The price of 5 piece with two sides was very reasonable.

    D-1. Gold Fried Chicken - Large
    Tania U.

    This is my go-to spot when I crave Korean fried chicken! My favorite is the gold fried chicken so simple but delicious. I usually order to-go and eat it a few hours later, and the chicken is still so crispy and moist. The online ordering process (on Clover via their website) is super easy, and the food is always ready right on time. Plus, the service is very fast. Highly recommend!

    In the mood for Korean fried chicken, so I decided to give this place a try. Service is fast, too fast, she's kinda inpatient. The restaurant is clean. Not too much noise. There's severel other people were there when I got there. Plenty of Parking is in the back. Restroom is clean as well. I ordered their lunch combo which is 5pc fried chk any style sauce either bone in or boneless with 2 side anything from rice, french fries, coleslaw, 2 eggs rolls or korean potstickers for $11.99, which I think it's a pretty good deal. I ordered bone in fried chk wings Gold fried chk original and Yangnyeom more sweet. I like the original better, it's crispy. When you put the sauce, it's not that crispy anymore. Their utensils are stored inside the drawer on the side of the table. There's also a bin for the bones and trash. Also I tried the Taiwan Lechee beer. It tastes like regular lychee drink. Btw, they also sell boba, but there's no menu. Overall is good if you are craving for Korean fried chk.

    Soy garlic
    Mimi N.

    If anyone is craving some Korean fried chicken, this is a pretty decent place to stop by. Just make sure you budget extra time as the service / wait for food and such will take a long time. Came here with a small group of friends and overall, it was an ok experience. Some notes below: The Good - Size of chicken wings / drumsticks is pretty nice and meaty - Original Flavor + Soy Garlic was the favorite for my group. Both had a nice crunch and the soy garlic wasn't too salty. - Parking Lot: Safe lot to park your car next to the restaurant - Prices: Pretty reasonable and you can do the half to full options on the wings order The Eh - Service ~ Realllllly slow, even on a weeknight with the restaurant being half full. After numerous attempts at getting the staff's attention, my friends and I decided the best way to get service was to walk up to the register. There was barely any check in between my group and the staff for the meal and overall, it kind of dampen our appetite a bit. - The spicy flavor chicken ~ Overall, the taste was ok. Wasn't as spicy as we anticipated and after a couple of pieces, the flavor got real old quick and not as appealing. - No radish sides ... usually at Korean chicken places, you get a small radish or similar sort as a side that serves as a nice palate cleanser. Sodam did not offer this, so do keep your expectations low. Overall... I would come back here if it's the only open Korean chicken spot around in Shoreline.

    Is the golden fried chicken dairy-free?

    No, our batter has milk powder in them.

    Sorry but we don't have gluten free chicken options.

    Are there alcohol options?

This place doesn't have potato salad--that would be too pedestrian. Instead, you get pickled perilla leaves, pickled okra, pickled eggplant, pickled dried radish, and more. Also, my wife is vegan, and they had an entire vegan menu available, all ready to go. We used to live up in Shoreline and loved this place years ago. We were back in the neighborhood and decided to pop in on a whim. It is all spiffy and new and under new management. The owner and head chef was there, and she is a delightful lady. The service is top-notch, as her daughter was working there. The staff was very attentive. It feels less like eating at a restaurant and more like eating at your favorite Korean friend's mom's home after being spontaneously invited for dinner. The restaurant is meticulously clean and elegant, which makes you just want to eat. In fact, the food was so wonderful that I hardly spoke a word between moaning and eating. To cap off our meal, they provided this delicious cinnamon ginger drink to help settle our very full tummies. I wished the owner would come running out with packed banchan for me to take home, just to make sure I was eating well at home -- just like in those K-dramas. To sum this all up, this is food heaven. 감사합니다 to the Hae Nam and we cannot wait to come back and try more!

They had plenty of seating and we were able to fit our group of 6 into a booth. While they only have one grill per table, when the fire is turned on, it is really high so things cook so quickly! They have a couple of different tiers of options, but my family loves galbi so we opted for the premium tier ($45). The mid tier (I believe $35) you can go serve yourself all of the meat, but the premium meats are brought out. We tried galbi, ribeye and scallops from the premium menu, which were all tasty (the galbi pieces were large and marinated well, ribeye was nice and red, and scallops while small, came in the shell). Most of the sides and meats are self service which is also nice. They have many different side dishes (including cheese corn!), different pickled veggies, garlic, lettuce, sauces, and the meats and some seafood like shrimp and squid were self serve including a nice cold meat refrigerator for the thin slices such as brisket and belly. They even have a hot bar that I didn't try with various fried foods. They also had oranges, and my favorite - a self serve soft serve ice cream station! Yum! There were also yogurt drinks at the end. It is a lovely place that I think it is mom and pop - we had a sweet lady as our server and she was nothing but smiles. Things can get busy so it took some time for our premium meats to come out but no worries as there were plenty of self serve things to eat while we were waiting. This is my favorite KBBQ place in the Lynnwood/Shoreline area so far, so will definitely be back!

Stepping inside feels…read morejust like being back in Asia, and when I first discovered it, I drove all the way out here nearly 10 times in a single month. They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore. Regardless, the incredible food and lively vibe make every trip 100% worth the drive.

    Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
