I was in Katy today and stopped for lunch at Hoodadak. Only one other person came in while I was there and I hope that’s because of the President’s Day school holiday today.
I expected counter order fast food, but a waitress seated me and took my order. She gave me a lunch menu and a regular menu, and there is a bar (beer and wine) above which is a a chalk board menu:
I ordered the chicken wing lunch special which was 4 wing segments with fries and slaw. The slaw was topped with a spicy mayo dip that was also on the side for the fries. I though 4 pieces was a small amount (the regular menu offers 7 for the “small” option), but she said it was plenty and it was. You choose sauce from about 5 and I chose soy garlic because it seemed to be a popular one on yelp and less messy than the sweet and hot option.
The chicken was breaded and nicely crunchy. The fries were addictive. They are dusted with some type of flour before frying which makes them super shattery crisp on the outside and mashed potatoey tender on the inside: really good. The slaw was okay, but largely ignored in my case! The spicy dipping sauce was nice for the fries. Ketchup and a small waste can on the tables for bones.
Strangely, about 5 minutes after taking my order, the server returned to ask if I have any food allergies. Why I don’t know, but since I don’t, they went away satisfied.
I don’t know if two Korean Chicken places in Katy is one too many, we’ll see when Bonchon opens. I haven’t been to Dak & Bop in the museum district, but it gets raves it seems. In fact the only Korean chicken I’ve had was at State of Grace and it was really amazing. Not sure what the authentic meal is like though!
This was good and I’d go back if in the area again. While I waited for the food, they brought gratis pickled radishes. They tasted Like I would think kimchi would, and I’ve never wanted to try kimchi! but I ended up eating about 1/2 of them.
