Wonderful food, good price and was ready to go quite quickly. Cute little spot to cool down and grab some bubble tea in the same mall! Chicken came with fries and rice cake which is unique. Came back for a second time, got the Gan-Jang and the chicken burger and asked if they would toss the chicken burger in the Gan-Jang sauce too. One of the best ideas I will ever have in my life hands down

Their fried chicken is the undisputed star of the show, this spot offers a delightful array of other authentic Korean dishes that are absolutely worth exploring. The fried chicken here is truly exceptional. The Yang nyeum flavor is, in my opinion, the absolute best – a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and subtly spicy that keeps you coming back for more. My husband, however, is a staunch supporter of their Gan Jang chicken, praising its savory goodness. Beyond the incredible chicken, Tongdak Korean Fried Chicken boasts other tempting options. Their spicy rice cakes (tteokbokki) are a must-try. For something a little more fun and equally delicious, don't miss their Korean corn dogs. The crispy exterior gives way to a savory filling, making them a satisfying and unique treat. Pro Tip: Be sure to grab a loyalty card to accumulate points towards a free order – a great perk for repeat customers (which you're sure to become!). Overall, Tongdak Korean Fried Chicken offers a fantastic taste of Korea right here in Kamloops. With standout fried chicken and a variety of other flavorful dishes, it's a definite must-visit for anyone craving authentic and delicious Korean cuisine.

Ordered-in the original meal and a order of the cheddar dusted chicken this last week for the family and we all enjoyed it so much. I had been craving it since and today my husband and I stopped by restaurant. Very friendly service, and the food again was delicious! Crispy, tender, flavourful chicken I can’t get enough of. I won’t settle for any other fried chicken! Great job TongDak!

It's soooo good !!! chicken is not greasy. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. I recommend soy garlic chicken for kids, sweet spicy chili chicken is for you. Don't forget try to their Korean style bread. Looking at the picture... I want to eat it again. I'm sure you will love it too :)

Amazing fried chicken. Like Lucky's but better batter IMO. The dipping sauces.. soy/garlic and sweet/spicy chili. They were FANTASTIC. The batter is light, golden and delicious. Great packaging as well. Will be back for sure.

I ordered the Chi-Bob (chicken with rice and sauce), and it was amazing! The portion size was generous, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce paired so well with the rice. I highly recommend this dish if you’re looking for something satisfying and delicious. I’ll definitely be back for more!

After traveling to South Korea I developed a craving for Korean fried chicken, but couldnt quite find anywhere that resembled it, or was able to on my own. Then Tongdak came into my life. This place is the real deal! Their chicken is delicious and reminds me of the many nights of 치맥 with friends until the early mornings. The stickers on the box are nice :) 감사합니다!

We were in the mood for chicken but not the typical fast food. I found Tongdak on Google and their menu options all sounded delicious and the prices were also fair. So we ordered two of the honey butter garlic boxes and two of the Korean corn dogs. First off, when we brought it to the car the smell was absolutely heavenly. It was all hot and fresh & the presentation was nice. I tried the Korean corn dog first…wow! It was not your standard corn dog. It was crispy, lightly dusted with sugar and had a little drizzle of ketchup and mustard. Filled with mozzarella cheese for that satisfying cheese pull and then your little beef dog. 10/10. The chicken was phenomenal. Hands down some of the best fried chicken I’ve tasted. There was a perfect amount of sauce and the pieces of chicken were a surprisingly large size which allowed for us to have the rest the following day. Even being re-heated in the air fryer, they were still just as delicious as when they were fresh! Would definitely recommend this restaurant. So good!
