Dak Dak Wings

The food was very good. Hot and fresh and right on point. Sweet and Spicy wings with seasoned fries and a drink was the lunch special I chose. Very good. Only reason the atmosphere got 3 stars was because its only a few places to sit and eat. Music was playing while we ate, so it was cool, but it's really not for a huge crowd. I'll definitely come back.

Where do I begin with this place?! First off, Joey (the owner), who likely greeted you, is the epitome of hospitality. He is friendly, kind, appreciative of his guests, respectful of his staff and is a great ambassador for anyone starting a restaurant. I have gotten food from Dak Dak probably almost 2 dozen times now and every time it's fantastic! I generally stay in my lane and get the garlic soy (no sesame seeds, I just don't wanna digest those little buggers) and will try the flavor of the month. The Plum Rosemary ones right now... SHHHHHHHEEEEESHHH! SOOOOOO GOOD! They also operate a pop-up food truck/tent at Common Good in Glen Ellyn a couple times a month, so make sure to check that out as well. The wings are always hot, crispy and explode with flavor. Joey, you and your team do an incredible job. I LOVE what you guys make and who you all are. Thanks for being in business, you're a hidden gem that likely won't be hidden much longer. Much love.

Place is a hidden gem! Amazing food and great staff. Never had this style of wings before but they were crunchy and delicious. Amazing sauces to choose from!

I've been to this place probably a dozen times, but this was my first time eating inside, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Normally, I take my food to go, but dining in gave me a whole new appreciation for the experience. Our server was fantastic—super friendly, and she went above and beyond by presenting our order beautifully. Honestly, for a fast food spot, the presentation was impressive, and she took the time to explain the new items on the menu in detail. This place has only been around for three years, but it’s already become a go-to spot for me. After we ate, my friend sent a picture of our meal to one of his friends, and they were blown away—"Oh my God, I can't believe you're there. That place is amazing!" More people need to know about this hidden gem. It's hands down one of the best spots around! Highly recommend it.

Neat neighborhood spot offering a special take on boneless wings, and an undeniably delicious array of sauces, and fresh cut fries. The sweet potato 🍠 ones are tempura style, but both smack greatly. The crew clearly cares about delivering quality, and it shows! Worthy of plenty of visits, and it really does seem to be a neighborhood pleasure. I hope they continue to test out & cycle through winning limited release sauces.

Wings are different than I've ever had but in a good way. They are amazing! Our favorites include the hot honey, sweet & spicy, & better than buffalo. The boneless wings are more like a thigh meat than your typical boneless wings out there. The bone-in have less breading of course. You can't go wrong with either choice. & you can't have wings without their delicious sweet potato fries, sooooo good! Last but not least, the service is always excellent!

Have been here 3 times in the past month ( 2 times takeout and the 3rd dine in) and each time was perfect. The wings blow anything I've had out of the water by far, and the service was phenomenal (seriously all the staff deserve a raise). Seasoned fries were also some of the best I've had in a while. Highly recommend this place if you're on the hunt for the perfect wings, you won't be disappointed.

Customer service was great. Place looked very clean. There was an issue with my online order and they got my order made quickly in spite of this. I got the bundle in bone deal. 20 Split Wings w/ Each Sauce on Side, House Fries, Sweet Potato Fries & Coleslaw Served w/ Pickled Radish, Ranch & Dak Dak Sauce *All Wing Sauces on Side . The fries were delicious. Cole slaw was good as well as radish. Dak Dak sauce was my fave. Didn’t care much for the other sauces. Chicken was very crunchy for my liking. Not much flavor with out sauce.

The food was great! Wings were naked with various dips/sauces. And then there was the teriyaki wings with sesame seeds.. OMG- Fantastic! Also try the loaded French fries and the sweet potato fries. Excellent! Joey (owner) and Jacob were very welcoming. We ordered take out as a Group and we all really enjoyed it. Bill Wehrle

Ordered take-out and it was ready within 30min! The people there were friendly and interacted with you as soon as you walked in. There isn't much space to sit and stay to eat, but there are two small tables with chairs. The Wings have a good tempor breading and very crispy. Chicken thighs were used to make the boneless chicken wings so it made a difference in the flavor! The selection of sauces is great and on a wide range, making them great for all spice-level palettes! Their sweet potato fries had the tempor breading as well and were cooked so the outside was crispy but the inside was soft. They are a must try place for dinner out!

Another 5-star experience led by Rachel along with Jacob and Joe. Big Boss Joey was busy elsewhere but the shop was in great hands! Remember to keep the box flaps open to maintain the crispiness... way more important than having the wings hot. Place is always extremely clean and orderly! Thank you Dak Dak Team for delicious wings with positive smiling attitudes.

Love this place! It was the first time comin here and it is absolutely a great place for wings! Better than Buffalo wings!!!! Im telling ya'll should give this a try. The sauces are greay and the sweet potato fries OMG im dying it was so delicies and so crunchy on the outside and tasty on the inside, wont wven feel a grease on it! The sauces are to die for I would go for another type of wings but I do in love with Gochujang wings! Thw cucumber salad is sooooooo freakin good! If you love spicy give this place a try! It is worth the money! Not so expensive and not so cheap it justifies the taste! so so so yummmmmy!

When you walk in, there are only 5 seats available so either plan on getting a take out or wait a little bit for other people to leave so you can dine in. Customer service is a perfect 5/5. You can tell they really care about their customers and they provide the best service possible. We got the bundle with 20 bone in wings. 10 soy n garlic and 10 sweet n spicy. It comes with cole slaw and 2 types of fries. You also get 4 dipping sauces. Wings were crunchy, flavorful, and meaty. They're a lot bigger than the ones you find at bdubs. They're fresh not old. Pro tip: check in with Yelp and you get free fries with a purchase. They give you a lot of fries. Fries are not burnt. Soy n garlic 5/5 Sweet n spicy 5/5 Sweet potato fries 5/5 - a must. They're perfectly crunchy. Bigger than the regular fries. House fries 4/5 - they were pretty tasty with the dipping sauces. I wouldn't mind trying the seasoned fries next time. I would come back again.

We got the bundle deal with 20 bone in wings. We got the 10 soy and garlic and 10 sweet and spicy wings. Their batter for the wings were a little thicker than other Korean fried chicken wings. It made their wings more crunchy than others. We also got their sweet potato fries that were very good. I would highly recommend getting that. The staff is friendly. Service is fast and friendly. This place is mostly for take out because they only have five seats available and no public bathroom. I would come back again.

Great customer service. We arrived with 9 girls thinking about dining in, however they are a togo type of restaurant. There's a few bar stools inside if you're really wanting to dine in. We grabbed 2 bundle deals and tried every flavor.

Updating for 2025! Dak Dak is going strong. Food is really well done, and still a welcome addition to the local food scene. If you haen't yet, go give them a try.

It was ok, nothing great. A bit much in the double fried I got all three flavors and have to say, none of them did I say "wow that's good". I mean not bad, just not something I would get again. Really friendly customer service.

They are tasty but too expensive and too small for the price. The service was fast too.

If you're looking for good fried chicken, I highly recommend Dak Dak. Since I've moved to Chicago, I've had a hard time finding a good Korean chicken place and am so excited to have found Dak Dak! We ordered 20 piece boneless wings - 5 wings of each of the 4 flavors. These were unexpectedly HUGE pieces of boneless wings - our group of 3 were left absolutely full. The chicken was so well fried that it was still crunchy even after its generous coating of sauce. I liked that their boneless wings were dark meat - well cooked, juicy and tender. One thing I would like to really praise is their sauces. Dak Dak uses gochujang, which is a staple in most Korean recipes and sometimes it can be hard to work with, especially fusion recipes. The gochujang is used so well in their sauces that it's not overpowering in taste. Very well balanced. Their pickled radish was also very well made - definitely recommend getting the side! We also got to try their sweet potato fries, which the owner mentioned "some people come back just for these fries". And... I may be one of those people. These fries are fried like fried chicken. They're amazing - savory + crunchy on the outside, soft + sweet on the inside. I absolutely loved them. Definitely one of the best sweet potato fries that I've ever tried. We had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with the owner. He has so much enthusiasm for his business and food. We loved Dak Dak and we will definitely be back!

Amazing fresh wings served daily love the fries and highly recommend! Extremely underrated spot in Villa park! Hands down the best new restaurant in Villa park. I

Unassuming little store bursting with flavor. Everything had an amazing light, crispy batter, even with the sauce coatings (I shall refer to them as glazed). They're super nice about making batches with different glaze options. We ordered a 20 piece with 5 pieces per glaze to maximize the tasting. We got all the dipping sauces (Dak dak sauce, ranch, chili crisp, garlic aioli) to test out with the glazes. The ranch had fresh green herbs and paired nicely with the Better Than Buffalo glaze. My fav was the garlic aioli, subtle and creamy. All the glazes seem to have a vinegar base so they pair very well with the creamy dipping sauces which help balance and mellow out the tang. Personal favorites were Soy N Garlic and Sweet N Spicy. The boneless pieces were much larger than I had been expecting. Usually I feel like they're more like nuggets but this seemed like deboned thighs marinated, battered, and fried. They were extremely juicy and tender. We also got their sweet potato fries which were bomb! Light and crispy outside, soft and pillowy inside. The outside seemed lightly seasoned so you can really enjoy the natural sweetness and flavors of the sweet potato itself. No dip required. Highly recommend! There is only a small counter table area, so mostly built for takeout. Service is fast and friendly.

We were so excited to try Dak Dak Korean Wings, but it did not live up to our expectations. We ordered the Gochujang bbq bone-in wings, Buffalo bone-in wings, and an order of house fries. Our order also came with the following sauces: ranch, dak dak, and garlic aioli. We were also given pickled radishes and didn't try them since we don't care for radishes. The wings themselves are tender and a good size. Also, the bone-in wings had a nice crunchy exterior with a tender interior. They were cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. Where they came up very short and disappointing was the sauce they were covered in. The Buffalo was extremely HOT and overwhelming. I would skip those. The Gochujang bbq bone-in wings had a different taste too and we didn't care for it. Our fries were packed and a good amount, but unfortunately they were burnt and super dry. They were obviously in the fryer for way too long. Quite disappointing. The sauces were interesting. The ranch tasted more like a dill dip. The dak dak sauce basically tasted like Thousand Island dressing. The garlic aioli tasted like mayo with infused garlic. The staff is super friendly and that is honestly why 3 stars were given, otherwise it would be 1. They are super kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match our expectations and I'm not quite sure we will give them another chance.

Dak Dak takes crispy to a whoooole other level!! The batter on the wings is so crispy and thick that even when you reheat the next day, it still has a crunch to it lol. The wings were juicy and not overdone, perfectly cooked! Decent sized wings too. My bf ordered the family pack to-go and all the sauces were on the side. The wing sauces are: soy n garlic, sweet n spicy, gochujang BBQ and better than buffalo. All of the flavors tasted good, but they were just a tad bit sweet. Our favorites were soy n garlic and buffalo. I imagine it would be even tastier when the wings are coated in the sauce rather than us just dipping it in haha but still really delicious nonetheless and happy we got to try them all! We also got a side of sweet potato fries and house fries. Although the wings were good, the sweet potato fries were the star of the show for sureee!! They would rank in the top 3 best sweet potato fries I've EVERRR had. The house fries are your standard shoe-string type fries; nothing crazy. I'd go for the seasoned fries next time or get the sweet potato fries again haha. Their Dak Dak sauce reminded me of spicy mayo, and it was a really good dipping sauce for fries/wings. And the ranch, OH MAN, SO GOOD. I think they put dill in it or something, definitely not your standard ranch but I would petition to have that bottled and sold. The coleslaw is a 5/5 stars, there's something special I can't figure it out but it's much better/creamier than other coleslaws I've tried. Very refreshing along with the pickled radish. My top recommendations: Soy N Garlic sauce on wings instead of the side, sweet potato fries, and coleslaw. These wings were bombbb, extremely crunchy so I'd say proceed with caution if you have difficulty chewing or dental related concerns hahah

Was in the mood for some fried chicken and found this hidden gem on Yelp. The flavors of the wings were unique and outstanding. My personal favorite was the sweet n spicy. A little heavier on the breading side as these wings are double fried but altogether a great choice for Korean flavored wings in the suburbs. It's a takeout friendly wings place with around 5 stools for seating and no restroom. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Overall it was an excellent meal!

Better than Buffalo should be renamed to "you're going to cry it's so hot". Loved the soy garlic! I love buffalo but they were just too hot for me, my husband loved it tho. We also got sweet potato fries and I actually didn't want to share after trying them. The wings are MASSIVE and juicy, it was good stuff. I'm full after 3 wings and half a bag of fries (I ended up sharing ).

Excellent and tasty wings that are extra crispy and have delicious sauce! I adore the sweet potato fries and ranch sauce as well. Owner Joey is super nice and store is clean.

First I'll start with the service. When we first arrived the young man, that I believe was the manager, greeted us and asked if we had any questions. I ordered the hot honey wings and my wife the gochujang wings. This was our first time here. We also ordered sweet potato fries and the cucumber salad. Everything was amazing. Honestly, just about the best wings I've ever had. My wife said the same of hers. Well covered in sauce, super flavorful and very crispy. Without question, the best sweet potato fries I've eaten. They were coated in what was like a tempura coating, light and crispy. We had one order, which we shared, but after tasting them wished we had each gotten one. We will definitely be going back to try the other wing flavors.

Just fries and wings - small menu, executed perfectly. Like a better, asian inspired Raising Cane's. Mostly a to-go shop with around 6 seats but they also have some cool chicken are inside. Owner was super friendly and passionate. Big wings so it ends up being a ton of food for the price. We got 15 boneless wings with 3 different flavors. All were delicious, crispy outside with a very moist inside. Great quality meat with tasty, complex sauces. Gochujang BBQ my favorite, it was like an asian mole sauce. The super savory Soy Garlic was my wife's favorite, and the Sweet and Spicy wings had a little sweet kick. They had a similar base between them but all great. The home-made dipping sauces were excellent as well. The dak dak was like a gochujang spicy mayo and the ranch had a good amount of dill which i like. Perfect for the seasoned fries we got. Barring any apocalypse in the near future we will be back as should you if you like chicken and flavor.

Have to bump up to five stars. Tried the boneless bundle this time. The chicken was excellent. Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Also, sampled the mango habanero sauce. Nice flavor. It was hot. I love hot. The sides were great again. The service was friendly again. The place is also very clean. That's important to me. Check them out.

Really good wings and sweet potato fries are the BOMB here. They are super tasty like most Korean wings but missing something to get that "Wow!" factor to me. I'm picky AF with everything in life, but I give brownie points for alot of things so it balances out. This place tho doesn't have the brownie point X factor things to find as of yet

Really enjoyed the wing selection and service. Looking forward to the next visit and trying additional flavors.

Should we eat such food? Definitely not. Was it good? YES! My son kept asking for the chicken days after I got it. The sweet potatoes were really good. Plain fries were ok. Would I eat there again? For the sake of our health most likely not.

First off--the wings are incredible. If you love wings, you haven't had wings until you've tried these! The variety of sauces and the double fry technique make these an amazing food experience. The staff is helpful, conscientious and knowledgeable. And they do large catering orders. Don't miss this place!

This was so darned good!! Super clean place, but nowhere to sit. Service was incredibly friendly and the Sweet & Spicy wings were totally on point. Coming back soon!!

Crispiest wings ever! Speaking of Crisp, there may be a new sheriff in town when it comes to Korean wings, and its Dak Dak! We were in town to watch some hockey games. As we usually do, we look for places to eat on the way or near our destination. Dak Dak jumped out for some positive reviews and we love wings. First of all we need to give a shout out to Joey for his outstanding customer service! Over the course of the next couple of days, we visited Joey two more times. Joey was very helpful and friendly! Then there are those wings. Fantastic! We had some before the game. Those wings somehow were still crunchy at home after the game. Perfectly fried with great flavor. Over a couple of days we tried all their flavors. Our favorites were the Soy N Garlic and the Sweet N Spicy although the Gochujang BBQ was also pretty tasty. The Better than Buffalo is not only better than Buffalo, they are also spicier. Others have commented on the homemade ranch dressing. This is absolutely true! Some of the best ranch dressing that I have ever had. And yes I did sip some directly from the cup. It is that good! Now the bad news. We live in the wrong state. The good news is we visit a few times a year and are already looking forward to visiting Joey and picking up some more wings!

Amazing Korean wings and fries ordered to-go. Lots of flavors, delish sauces to accompany, tempura battered sweet potato fries are . Super nice owner/staff is a bonus! We will be back!

Heard about this place through social media. I love wings. Have never had them Korean style. Really crunchy very flavorful wings. I got myself 15 Bone in Sweet n Spicy along side with Seasoned fries. The fries did have a after taste cannot explain. Let's talk about their Dak Dak sauce. Wow! Very delicious sauce. Last but not least the service. Very very friendly. From the moment I walked in was greeted treated with respect and kindness. Gentleman working the front deserves a raise. Ambiance was very quiet and chill. Presentation 5 stars. Definitely coming back!

Finding an independent Korean chicken wing place in the Chicagoland area is not easy. In fact, this only the third one in the area. This is why this place is a rare find. I tied several of their wings and their fries and love them all. I got the better than buffalo bone-in wings, soy n garlic bone-in wings, gochujang BBQ bone-in wings, sweet potato fries, and the seasoned fries. My favor was the better than buffalo bone-in wings. I'm a bit bias became I'm big fan of buffalo. However, this buffalo has a twist, a hint of Korean flavor through adding gochujang sauce. This gave it a yummy and interesting flavor. I also loved how they did their sweet potato fries. I like the flavor of sweet potato fries, but I'm alway disappointed with the lack of crispness that I love about regular fresh fried, but this place has solved this problem. They coat their sweet potato fries with tempura batter and then fried them a second time. This gives you all the great taste of sweet potato with the crispness of regular potato fries. Also, the wings here tend to be on the less spicy side. If you love spicy this place might not be best option, but the wings still have a ton of flavor. In all, if you like chicken wings, you will love this place.

The duck fat sauce and sweet potato fries are my favorite. The chicken is crispy, yet tender, and the staff are all very welcoming. I'm the grab an go type, but if you want to sit and chill, you can too. This is hands down, my go-to chicken spot.

Service is spot on. Very friendly. Great wings. We ordered a bundle. Bellies full and happy. Enjoyed the music, it's clean inside. Limited seating. No restrooms so we had to run over to MDs. Worth the hr drive.

Server so nice gave great suggestions on the sauces ! The wings were so crispy as expected ! And the chicken sandwich , we tried it with the monthly sauce special "Hot Honey" . I definitely recommend ! And get the wings in the soy garlic and the sweet and spicy sauce , then dip them in the Aioli.

This is not Korean, it was disgusting. These wings were not cooked well and were simply cheap low quality flavor. Whoever the chef is should be ashamed of himself calling this a Korean chicken, can't believe they are still in business. Would never recommend to anybody.

Service is great and polite, Korean chicken is really good here not many I've tried are better, keep up the good work.

Ok here we go....This spot was good! Great customer service and good food! Open kitchen which was awesomely clean. Fries was good but just a little bit too seasoned, if you have high blood pressure please ask them to go easy with the salt. (Still good as hell) The wings was super good! If "CRISP" the goat, this spot is the young maverick aiming for greatness! Sauces , dips are also yummy. If your a fan of Korean fried chicken you need to visit this spot!

Place is small and ideal for carry out only. They have a bench like table against the wall that seats 5. The wings were a nice crispy texture, however the only sauce that was worth finishing was 'Sweet and Spicy'. The soy sauce garlic was SUPER salty and lacked any garlic flavor. The 'Better than Buffalo' was just heat with absolutely no flavor. The seasoned fried were lacking a crispy-ness and were definitely soggy. The sweet potato fries were far better in comparison to any other item we ordered and would be worth a trip back, but they are just fries.

Been waiting to try this place knowing Korean Fried Chicken when done right is divine! But sadly this place misses the mark by a long shot. It's overly thick battered that is super crunchy but oddly in the negative way. It cuts up the inside of your mouth and is a lot of work to chew through. The sauces I thought would be a delight to try but everything except the buffalo sauce, garlic aioli and soy garlic were decent. We got the meal pack with their special duck fat buffalo and didn't taste remotely like buffalo. Overall disappointed though the young lady front staff was exceptional and helpful.

Very good crunchy wings, great service. Owner very passionate about business. Enjoyed! Be sure to try the tempura style sweet potato fries!

The vibes and employees are amazing. The quantity of food is great and I almost always have leftovers. They are SAUCY wings which is the best. The house fries and sweet potato fries are delicious. Flavor all around!

Even though they had a good number of favorable reviews, we purchased wings on a Thursday night. I saw the girl behind the counter take out a very large bin of already cooked wings and drop them in the fryer to reheat them. Because of being "refried" the breading was hardened and worst of all the meat tasted old.... I could only eat 2 of the 5 wings from my order. Very disappointing. They need to not serve old food. I know its an expensive waste, so they need to plan better.

I wouldn't eat these wings often - just my personal dietary decision - but they are a fun experience. I was a lone diner yesterday, early evening, and picked some bone - in coated in soy and garlic. I also sampled the Dak Dak and BBQ sauces, and the verdict favors that extra bite from the gochujang. Not huge wings, but they are fried well. Thanks to staff for answering every question and checking on my experience halfway through the meal. The staff also are glad to see high school starting and look forward to Elmhurst University's football season to bring in the crowds. This is a to - go restaurant within a strip mall, but the concept brings the palate of this community a welcome tickle. CSD students at Elmhurst U., check it out!

Stopped by for a quick dinner while in the area. Did not expect such amazing wings and fries. There is a little table on the side for done in but seems to be more of a take out place. My husband ordered a 10 piece boneless in soy n garlic and orange ginger. Loved both. I had bone in which were packed with meat. Highlight I have to say was the sweet potato fries. Customer service is also top notch. Everyone is incredibly nice. Definately recommend!

Ordered the boneless wings bundle. I'll start off by saying holy crap, for $30, you get a ton of food. Probably enough for a family of 4. The wings themselves are huge, along with 2 big bags of fries and coleslaw. I will say the wings themselves are the best part of the kit. A ton of meat with a good amount of breading. Great crunch. The sauces were not that good. Mediocre at best. The fries were good but the sweet potatoes fries weren't that good. Didn't have any sweet potato flavor. Coleslaw was horrible. Probably best as drunk food!

LOVED IT! These flavors were so different and tasty! The double frying made the wings extra crunchy and delicious. The area isn't really made for dining in but it wasn't a problem.

Some of the best Korean wings that I've ever had. Got the Soy N Garlic and Sweet N Spicy and both were very flavorful cooked to perfection. The fries were also perfectly cooked and a great compliment to the chicken. And you get a ton of fries. We got two orders for the three of us and only made it through one order. The staff was extremely helpful and gave great recommendations as it was our first time coming here.

Great food for sure. Service was impeccable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is fresh and made to order. If you like wings you must give this place a try. Get the sweet potato fries too. I got the platter and still had enough for take home. It's a small place, so seating is limited. I forgot to take pictures, sorry.

Good crispy wings. We had to drive about a half an hour but they were still crispy when we got home. Loved the sweet potato fries. The cole slaw was good and fresh with an Asian twist. The ranch dip was also good and very dilly which I love, but If you don't then don't get it. My favorite was the garlic soy wing and the sweet chili. I will go back again. Order and pay on line and your food will be ready for you.

I love the boneless wings and that there are limited edition sauces every month. The pickled radish is amazing and the soy and garlic are my ultimate faves. I also love the crunchy chili sauce
