Korean fried chicken specialist with creative sides & sauces
"Fried chicken chain that tried hiring in-house delivery drivers last year to adapt, but later had to scale back operations, closing all but one location." - Harry Cheadle
"Bok a Bok’s walk-up takeout window on Capitol Hill is nearly impossible to miss. There’s the huge neon arrow with a chicken head pointing to the window, and there’s the beckoning aroma of fresh Korean fried chicken, which will have passersby floating in like a Looney Toons cartoon. Bok a Bok offers fried chicken three ways: strips, boneless thighs, and bone-in wings—all with seven different seasoning combos and eight sauces. That’s already 168 unique chicken combinations without even mentioning their chicken sandwiches and kimchi mac and cheese! It’s no surprise this spot earned Guy Fieri’s cosign on a 2018 episode of Food Network’s Diner’s, Drive-Ins, and Dives. (Bok a Bok closed a couple locations in 2024, but the Capitol Hill one is still going strong.)" - Joey Carreon
"Dipping sauces are the best part about eating wings. If you don’t agree with us, you clearly haven’t tried Bok A Bok Bok. This spot in White Center (with more locations in the U-District, Capitol Hill, and Burien) serves excellent homemade herby ranch, sesame soy garlic, umami BBQ, and a citrusy hot sauce that are all ideal for complimenting a pile of their shatteringly-crunchy Korean-fried chicken. Get the tenders or the wings over sandwiches, which can get soggy in transit, and add on sides like biscuits, kimchi mac and cheese shells, and spiced tater tots to round everything out." - aimee rizzo
"After voting at the White Center Library, we think you should dip some chicken tenders into five different sauces from Bok A Bok. Order a spread of Korean fried chicken, with side dishes like kimchi mac and cheese or biscuits with spiced honey, and don’t forget some extra house ranch." - aimee rizzo
"As a response to rising delivery fees in Seattle—including DoorDash's new $1.99 long-distance charge on top of an existing $4.99 "regulatory response fee"—the fried chicken mini-chain Bok a Bok has hired its own delivery drivers, partly as a way to avoid the apps' escalating charges and keep delivery operations in-house." - Harry Cheadle
