I am a 47 year old fried chicken enthusiast. In all my years of experience consuming chicken, nothing has come close to Odumak's perfect combination of crispiness, juiciness, and flavor. This is the best chicken I've ever had. I am truly impressed.

Odumak was a nice Korean spot with somewhat decent prices. I ordered their soy-garlic chicken which tasted pretty good and fresh too, had to wait a bit before eating it cuz it was piping hot. Their jap chae is probably the best I've ever had (I don't always order this though). The inside was nice not too loud too crowded. They play K-Pop which is awesome! The only gripe I'd say is that they took quite a while with service because there was only one server when I was there. Still recommend though.

Odumak has always been a fan favorite in the family, espically if you are craving Korean Fried Chicken. It is most popular in the later night times but can get busy starting at 6:30-7:00pm. When we most recently went, they had a new wait staff who was their (probably) first day or so on the job but was trying their best! Tong su yuk: a hit with me and the elderly Supreme Fried chicken: not super spicy tbh but had a little kick! Honey garlic fried chicken: everything you could ever want in a Korean fried chicken. The best dish the entire night! Japchae: perfectly seasoned, everything was great. I am craving this right now Cream tteokbokki: it was good! I tend to like cream sauce more than the regular tteokbokki because it's not as spicy. Galbijim: very tasty but the meat was a bit tough. Honestly, the sauce and seasoning was so reminiscent of my trips to Korea. Seafood pancake: we always order this and it's always so delicious. it's perfect!

Probably one of the best KFC in the city! Super great for ordering take out or dining in. Amazing vibes to eat yummy food, drink beer, and hang out with friends. Love their seafood pancake, corn cheese, and of course the super crunchy fried chicken. Personally, we like the original and the soy garlic.

If you're looking for a late-night spot, this is definitely the place to go. They're open until around 11 p.m., which is perfect for a relaxed night out with friends. My friends and I ordered the Magic Sprinkle Cheese, Kimchi Pancake, and Fried Sea Roll with Tteokbokki. The Magic Sprinkle Cheese had a great blend of flavors, and the kimchi pancake was deliciously crispy with just the right amount of spice. The fried sea roll with tteokbokki was a fun and flavorful addition. Overall, it's a great spot to unwind with good food and good company.

Good service and good food! Their magic cheese chicken was kind of weird, would not get that again! Original was the best. We also enjoyed the spicy and popcorn chicken, as well as the corn cheese. This time, there was K-Pop music! The servers were also great. Shout out to Kyle for taking care of us!

Was craving some Korean Fried Chicken and luckily found this place on Yelp. We ordered the pah dak fried chicken, which is fried chicken with spring onion on top. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and flavorful. I'm usually one to order sauced chicken, but this hit the spot! The pickled radish, banchan, and spring onion topping gave it a nice balance and prevented the dish from tasting too heavy. They recently added new items to their menu including spicy raw marinated crab and raw shrimp with soy sauce. We opted for the spicy marinated crab, which came with rice and a good amount of crab. I really enjoyed this dish! Happy to know there's a place to order these dishes on this side of town. There was a mix up with our order and we ended up with a watermelon soju special. The price was hefty, but regardless, it was refreshing and our server tried to accommodate as possible. Great spot to eat, drink, and socialize.

Located in the Inner Parkside neighborhood, Odumak offers authentic Korean cuisine to diners looking for a bite to eat. The storefront itself is quite unassuming, but upon stepping into the restaurant patrons are welcomed with mood lighting and K-pop music videos plastered across the televisions, a nice casual dining enviornment. Odumak is well-known for their crispy Korean fried chicken which comes in a variety of flavors, perfect for any palette. Their Korean fried chicken comes in both half and full-size orders, and the fried chicken pieces include wing, drumstick, and breast meat pieces. For those who don't want to grapple with bones, there's a boneless popcorn chicken option that you can add any of their sauces to for an extra fee. My party of 3 arrived on a Sunday just minutes after the restaurant opened, and I was honestly amazed to find that there were another 2 tables already seated - a testament to how popular this dining spot is. After being seated, we decided on their corn cheese appetizer, fish cake soup, and two of their Korean fried chicken offerings (half of their magic cheese sprinkles, and an order of their soy and garlic popcorn chicken). While both the corn cheese and fish cake soup were delectable, the true stars of this meal were the Korean fried chicken dishes. Both orders were well fried, extremely crispy, yet juicy on the inside - the perfect bite for any fried chicken lover. If you're a fan of Korean food, and especially of Korean fried chicken, then you should give Odumak a try if you're in the area!
