This place is not what it used to be. Once the fries changed to crinkle-cut, the quality of their food went way down. When I first tried Holdaak, there a was a tatted Korean dude with a man-bun sippin' on Modelos as he cooked, and the food was top notch. Not long after the pandemic, I think the place was sold to some profit monger and the food was never the same. RIP pre-pandemic Holdaak.

The chicken sandwich was good, but the source was not suitable for the sandwich. But everyone has different tastes.

This place is good and service is good too. The first time I tried this place they gave me extra chicken strips. But the second time I went which was 2 days ago, I ate the only one chicken strip bc it was super gooey and had a bunch of nerves in it. It made me feel like just throwing up. the next day, I woke up in the morning because I had the worst feeling ever, I went to the toilet, vomited, and then I got diarrhea. I contacted my doctor and she said it was the stomach virus. And guess what? The food was contaminated with things that go inside of it if the fryer isn’t cleaned. I’ll never buy from here ever again. Worst 50 dollars spent on this place and worst experience ever

Why did I only find out about this place yesterday?The food is amazing. The staff is friendly. The place is clean.I tried both the Spicy Sandwich and the Seoul Spicy Sandwich. They both had different personalities to them and the daikonslaw and the cole slaw made the flavors different (in addition to the seasoning of the chicken strips). However, the comeback sauce really makes you want to go back and it definitely was the game changer for the sandwich.There is plenty of parking since it's located near other establishments. They also have some outside seating available, so you can enjoy your food with some Cali sun. They also have a seating area inside the establishment.I'll definitely be back to try the other sandwiches.

last time I eat here... $45 for two orders of chicken strips. the picture in menu shows fries. which we got with the combo last time. we called and the guy had a lot of attitude. told me I was wrong. when you go to McDonald's the show the burger by itself and thats what you get.... Here the picture has chicken and fries but you're out of luck I guess.... But you do get a soggy piece of bread....
Came here with a friend who recommended this place and I got a Holdaak Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Daikon Slaw. It was very good. I enjoy spicy food but did not thing this was very spicy at all. I would say a decent Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich would likely be more spicy.We came in around 3 pm on a Saturday and it was not super busy. The dining room was maybe half full with a couple orders ahead of ours. Food was prepared quickly though and we did not wait long at all. Staff was friendly. Would definitely come back.

The sauces were too strong. Foods were awful! First time there at Holdaak Fried Chicken and won't come again. Ate about a quarter of what we bought and threw the rest away! Still hungry and went to Chick Fi Le to buy lunch!!!

This has got to be one of the best fried chicken places in the area. I stepped in and immediately asked the worker what was the healthiest thing on their menu. I was told that the fried chicken salad was an easy and healthy go-to. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Both the quality of the meat and quantity was worth the review.Not only was the food amazing, but the service, friendliness of the staff, and the cleanliness of the facility was top tier.Will definitely return if you don’t.

Used to be 5-stars...now 3. Remember when the sandwiches had huge pieces of chicken instead of these tiny tenders? I miss those days.Besides that, this place has the absolute worst online ordering platform. Especially since they stopped taking phone orders. Some days you'll order online and the food won't be ready for 30 minutes beyond the pickup time, and others you'll have an eta and get a text message saying the food is ready 15 minutes early.I REALLY don't want soggy fried chicken by the time I pick it up. What's the deal?
