Testimonials

On 7/1/2024 Heidi H.Elite 24 had this to say:
We have been talking about going to What Dak for a long time. The food was delicious. We the pork buns, Dak loaded fries and the 8 pcs wings (half soy garlic and half spicy.) The wings were nice and crispy. The soy garlic was my favorite. The wings were steaming hot. The fries were crispy even though they were topped with delicious sauce, sliced meat, and cheese. For the price, I thought the servicing size was on the small side. There are definitely more items on their menu I would like to try. Two of our menu items were served in plastic containers, I wish they had had more eco-friendly containers.

This place is a must! The chicken is so delicious and we like fried rice. I like the convenience of a kiosk to order ahead if one chooses.

On 6/22/2024 Maggie Patten had this to say:
Staff was super nice, inside was clean & had a very welcoming feel, & food was DELICIOUS. A little pricey for a broke college student, but definitely worth it for the taste & quantity. Will be back again — so happy this opened so close!!

On 6/19/2024 Jeff Eastvold had this to say:
Exceeded my expectations. Had the fried rice(w/chicken), wings, fries, and kimchi. The best kimchi I have ever had. Wings were crispy. Will be back. Prices were fair and food was great. Staff were great as well.

On 6/16/2024 Matt W. had this to say:
Everything was so good! We had the soy garlic wings, loaded fries, the octopus, and the mozzarella balls. Every single thing we had they nailed it. I even got my picky kid to try OCTOPUS! 10/10
