Sodam Chicken Capitol Hill — Restaurant in Seattle

So i had to try this new place asap to try to be one of the first reviewer this time lol im trying to get better and quicker. Now many think my reviews simply comes from just the food but it begins with the second you are standing outside the establishment and you walk in. I was the first this time again to walk in so my photos are empty because i literally walked in 10 min after they opened. My first impression walking in was a good vibe and there is definitely potential here i would like to see it at night or during its peak time to see how they handle the pressure. But the space is pretty open and i can see them potentially hosting karaoke nights 😆. Great selection of soju and korean beer and the placed looked clean, even the restrooms. Now to the food i could've dined tbh but i was in a rush . I got the soy garlic bone in pieces with Mandu(korean dumplings) with some pickled radishes as a lunch special. Flavor was amazing and the wings were so golden and crispy omg love the wings reminded me why i enjoyed KFC so much. Thats korean fried chicken not KFC the chain lol. I loved the tale packaging so compact and organized pluses for that for sure. I'll definitely come again to try other flavors but this place is good vibes all around, also loved when i walked in the kpop was playing. Overall i didn't eat much but from what i got it was really good. I want to come back to try other food items on the menu. Parking wise there is a garage designated for the restaurant. I found street parking in front so I didn't need that space.

Price wise on the lunch special was about $14 what you see on that photo. I would say its good price 👍

Thank you again for reading my long...

Brought some friends here to absolutely feast and Sodam really delivered! We tried 4 different flavors of the deep fried chicken and all were delicious. I loved the sticky sauces of the soy garlic and gang-jung flavors. I was also pleasantly surprised by the gold fried chicken which was super crispy and came with a honey mustard sauce that was to die for! When you order, they let you pick boneless, bone-in, or a mix of both which is awesome if you're sharing with friends.

We also grabbed some fries and topokki which offered a nice break from overloading on chicken. They have a great drink selection as well so I could see this turning into an awesome spot for fueling up before going to the clubs/bars in the area.

The atmosphere was a bit lacking and service seemed unenthused but I think that's because they opened recently so they're still getting into the swing of things. I'm excited to watch this business grow!

I think I saw a small parking lot with restaurant-reserved spots attached to the building. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to find a street parking spot within a block or so if you go off...

Outstanding overall experience! Highly recommend! I don’t eat out much because I like to cook but this is a favorite of mine! I’ve been dining here since close to when they opened and have tried most of the menu items. Delicious flavorful food at reasonable prices. Excellent deep fried results! Superb perfection on preparations and presentations. Rustic cast iron and wood presentations complimenting entrees. Careful attention to service and detail.

Favorites so far: curry fried rice and golden fried bone-in chicken, but I also love many of the other items and don’t always get the same things. Love the stir fry noodle and rice dishes and the meat entrees are very flavorful too!

Wishes for future changes: bone-in leg and thigh option (although they do offer beautiful boneless roasted thigh option); non-alcoholic beer and liquor; bigger napkins and plates; lower music volume (although theirs is lower than most).

I hope that the new G-Rapid-Ride transit option improves their customer volume! They have worked hard...
