Best Korean Fried Chicken in Kamloops.

I can t even put into words how delicious this place is

Amazing chicken. Love the flavours for the chicken they have. Average price and great location

Great takeout that was ready really quickly!

Lovely little shop. Nice staff. Food is top-notch! If I lived closer I would come here all the time.

Great service, even better food. I recommend the Chi-bob, and the curry Prinkle fries!

1. The best fried chicken in town 2. Affordable prices 3. Friendly Staff Food : 5/5

Tried to buy a singular Korean corn dog and only had a 100$ bill, came to 8$ for the corn dog, they said they would take the bill and gave me back a twoonie had to argue with them for 5 minutes that I should definitely be getting more then a twoonie back and they said I gave them a 10$ bill as I still saw my 100$ bill in their hand they refused to give me my cash back after the corn dog so I asked for my bill back and they kicked me out. So don t bring cash (or at least big bills) if you re going to go here. still amazing food but was not good service.

First time Trying Korean Food. Did not get Disappointed. Chicken is Awesome. :)

Ordered the Go-Ma chicken crispy chicken balls and i gotta say :) perfect amount of sweet combined with spicy and the fries remind me of being in the comfort of my own home. Only waited a few minutes for my serving, though it is in a small strip mall / food court, i would definitely come back another time to try what else is on the menu. You have my 5 gold stars all the way!!

I ordered via skip the dishes and although it took awhile to get (skips fault not the restaurant) the food was amazing I will definitely be going back and in the future if I get delivery they provide their own service aswell.

My friend and I came here in our lunch break. While my friend was buying a plate and I brought my own lunch but to my surprise they didn t let me eat my own food.

Juicy, crispy, and SUPER flavourful, this place is like the warm embrace of your Grandma in food form. They have become a regular choice for me when I need something to lift me up and warm the soul. The Yeung Nyam is my favourite flavour, with rich and sweet Gochujang (fermented chili paste), it is unami and rich spice but not in a burn your mouth way, exceptionally good. The Korean cheese ball is also exquisite, maybe the best fried cheese snack I have had to date, made with a super chewy dough and stuffed with mozza, served with an incredible sweet and creamy sauce. Id suggest ordering extra of the cheese ball sauce to dip your chicken, its that good. Tong Dak has been nothing but amazing since they first opened and I recommend them to anyone you enjoys crispy juicy chicken. They are the only punch card offering restraint that I actually save the card for haha, one of my favourites in Kamloops. Update: Tong Dak is still amazing, everything on the menu is as enjoyable as ever. I didnt mention it in the original portion of this review, but the French fries are quite good, they are the battered and fried style which makes them enjoyable at all stages of freshness from hot out of the fryer to the next day from the fridge. The Go-Ma (jalepeno and soy sauce) has become another regular option for myself in addition the the king, Yeung Nyam. It is savoury and mildly spicy, with a touch a sweet, similar descriptions Id apply to the Yeung Nyam but the flavours are vastly different. And as always, do not forget the cheese ball, and eat it while its hot, its gooey crispy, chewy goodness and the sauce it comes with is sweet creamy cheesey excellence, my favourite for dipping the chicken and fries into. Make Tong Dak a regular in your families kamloops dining experience, it is outstanding and we are lucky to have them.

Interior of the building itself could use some TLC. Food was worth it though. Got the monster Korean Corn Dog and it was delish!

one of the best korean fried chicken places ive been to. we got the sweet & sour chicken, cheese chicken burger, cheese balls, and tteokbokki and all the items tasted great. hands down would recommend this place if you re craving fried chicken or just looking for a great meal.

The best fried chicken in Kamloops actually the best fried chicken Ive ever had! Before Kamloops I lived in Vancouver for 10 years Id have to say Ive never had chicken as good as Tongdak s chicken despite all the Korean restaurants that offer it there. Im hooked. They also offer plenty of tasty options other than fried chicken. They have their own delivery, Ive ordered off doordash every time but next time Ill deffinitley give their delivery a try. Would much rather give them the business then a large corporation as it seems the owners work very hard and are passionate about what they do. Give them a try and you will not be dissapointed.

Pretty hidden since it was stationed inside of a food court but server was polite and made sure my partner and Is order was correct. Food court was dingy but clean. We only tried the chicken but my partner opted for an additional fried corn dog as she always wanted to try one. Chicken was nice and juicy and the sauces complimented greatly. Although the prices were exorbitant, the chicken itself is much closer to real Korean fried chicken than most Korean fried chicken around northern BC. Still wouldnt say its worth it. The corn dog on the other hand was a massive disappointment. It was huge which left an initially good impression on us but after biting into it, my partner found out that the actual hot dog inside was only around an inch long and dry. Over half of the inside was hollow and the thing costed nearly 10 dollars. The surrounding batter was okay but definitely a slap in the face for deep fried corn dog lovers. Overall the food was not worth it for the crazy prices. The chicken almost saved it but $13/$14 for 5 pieces and a handful of fries is laughable.

Always great K Fried Chicken! Friendly Staff as well. Get the cheese flavor!

The first Korean chicken in Kamloops! Actually, I dont like chicken! But I only like Tongdak chicken! Its because its delicious and the quality is different. I enjoyed cheese prinkle, fried chiken and cheese ball today! hahaha I was so happy

I got half size hot fried chicken and use stamp card to get free half size origin fried chicken. why one is small box and both seems less volume as usual? Just wondering.

Recommend their Go-Ma fired chicken

My best to-go place (: I would recommend Angry wings if you fancy spicy food. Trust me, it s delicious. Food : 5/5

Amazing food, slow service, no atmosphere (food court). Order well in advance and pick-up (the food is well worth it).

Its absolutely delicious! Its delicious enough for the kids to eat. And the boss looks so nice. I will visit often.

Delicious chili chicken burger .

Loved it :)

I love Tongdak!! My favourite is Yangnyeum!!

So crispy, so flavourful, very tender, great value!

The best Korean chicken!! Highly recommended

The flavors are too good. And the people work there are great

The chicken is soooo tender inside and crispy on the outside, and the sauces are very flavourful. Some of the best Korean fried chicken I ve had. The owners are very friendly and pleasant. The store is located in a run down food court where under housed individuals get into conflict with security so atmosphere isn t the greatest for dining in.

First time, excellent chicken well prepared and friendly service

The chicken was delicious and the staff were super friendly and helpful! Will definitely be going back to Tong Dak when we are in Kamloops next time. Just wish this was closer to home!

Tasty meals! Awesome customer service!!

Close to home. Ready for pickup on time.. best fried chicken Ive had in Kamloops. Will return absolutely. Decently priced..

Tongdak has been our favourite takeout spot since the beginning of the pandemic. Having now tried the other two Korean fried chicken restaurants in Kamloops, we can confirm that Tongdak is still hands down our favourite. The chicken pieces are larger than their competitors, better seasoned, and have the perfect amount of crispiness.

Delicious fried chicken, dukboki and japchae!

Yummy quality chicken, and you get a lot of it, and the friendliest people work there. We Tong dak!

Excellent food

I ordered the Yang nyeum, honey butter garlic, and donuts. All amazing! The sweet and spicy has that perfect blend of not too spicy but a nice tingle. girlfriend loved the honey chicken because she doesnt like spice. The donuts were really fluffy and good aswell. Want to give all their options a try! Chicken is perfectly crispy and delicious even leftover. This is top notch food guys, give it a try! *forgot to mention even the fries and little rice puffs are so good! This is my new fav takeout!

This is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. I would live off this chicken if I could 100/10

The chicken and rice was really delicious . Recommend to everyone!

We ordered the Honey and Yang Nyeum chicken for the very first time and WOW! i am so impressed with how AMAZING it was!! They both were juicy and crispy and the flavour was definitely there! The fries are so crispy and light and the doughnuts are just If you haven t tried it why are you waiting?!

Great food, nice staff, great price

Fantastic korean chicken take out. I have tried multiple flavours, the best has been Gan-Jang (Soy and Garlic). Recommended.

The chicken is so crispy and delicious and there are so many different flavor options but the yang nyeum was my favourite, perfect amount of spice. The korean corn dogs were also out of this world, so delicious. Hands down the best place in Kamloops to get fried chicken. The service was quick and the staff are wonderful. I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone. Its a local gem.

Fantastic chicken, hardworking employees and great customer service

I eat Korean FC every week. This is my first time here, and I ll return asap! The food is exceptional! Really unbelievable. The service was excellent. They were so kind and sweet. I ll be back later this week and every time I m in Kamloops. 10/10!

Ordered food, delivery was supposed to be 50 minutes which is fair. Add on an extra 30 mins with no courtesy call, text , don t answer the phone when I call to inquire and freezing food. So disappointing on what s usually a great restaurant

My baby loved the complimentary doughnuts :)

Excellent! Ordered the Honey & Original packets. So long KFC. This place aint no poke-eye palace.

My husband ordered #3 which is soy sause & garlic fried chicken. OMG they were so good!! So crispy and tender. Highly recommended!! No pictures b/c we ate it all on the way to our hotel

Delicious

Amazing fried chicken. We got the Yang-Nyeum flavor and it was phenomenal, so great that we ate it all so fast without taking a picture first but heres the empty box covered in sauce to prove how delicious it was!

Best Fried Chicken I have ever had!

The owners are two of the kindest, friendliest, hardest working people you ll ever have the pleasure of meeting and the chicken is even better.

Ordered from here the other night and it was amazing! The chicken was so crispy and all of the sauces were so good, the corndog was my favourite for sure! The portions were generous and the price was fair. We will definitely be ordering again.

There was Korean style Super Supreme Chicken that my baby wanted to eat and it was very delicious. Chibab was also delicious. I liked that the owner was so kind ^^ May you prosper.

Really amazing selection of korean chicken. I am regular customer when I used to live in kamloops. Now i stopby and order when i can during travels. Kudos to the owners wishing you all more success in the future. I recommend the honey garlic flavor. Hope i see this restaurant when I am back in kamloops

Excellent but I would give 5 if there was vegan option of the chicken fried. Would also definitely come here every week if it was avalaible.

I went there because I wanted to eat Korean chicken, and I was completely satisfied. I ordered fried chicken, and it was seasoned well and very crispy, so my child loved it. The potato fries were crispy and delicious, so I paired them with beer. Its even better because you can order quarter and half sizes. I want to eat it again. I couldnt take a picture because I was eating it so deliciously;;

Very good fried chicken. I got the curry flavor and it is tasty

Always good

It s amazing and the family loved it :) friendly service, tasty chicken, cheeseballs, fries.. all s well. Will return when we re back in town. Edit: every time we re in Kamloops we make sure to stop in. Delicious and consistent !!

I moved to Kamloops 4 years ago, had my first Tongdak chicken 3.5 years ago, had my second Tongdak chicken 3.5 years ago minus one day, and had my third Tongdak chicken 3.5 years ago minus two days... Thats right Korean fried chicken 3 days straight. The owners are incredibly friendly, feels great to support them. The Gan-Jang and Go-Ma are my faves!

This place has incredible food. I tried the fried chicken with rice and salad and it was some of the best I ve ever had. Can t wait to try it again next time I m in town

Very kind people, amazing chicken. Sweet and spicy and the creamy sauce with onion are amazing

I ve been craving for authentic Korean fried chicken for the entire time I m in Kamloops, so when I found out Tongdak was opened, I was overjoyed. And when I came here to eat for the first time, I was not disappointed at all! The chicken is so so good, the sauce is amazing, just like the chicken I used to have in Korea. And their doughnuts are so dang mind-blowing! Everything is so good, I m addicted to their doughnuts now

Best fried chicken in town. Quick service, high quality ingredients, friendly staff and great taste. Highly recommend the angry fried chicken and the creamy onion chicken. And the doughnuts are amazing, could eat a 100.

Quite literally the best money Ive ever spent

This is the best fried chicken in all of kamloops no doubt in my mind.

The best chicken Jake (@fakejox on Instagram) has ever had in his life

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 with friends until the early mornings. The stickers on the box are nice :) !

10/10 best place in town soooo good

yummy chicken

Was in a hurry this evening and decided to order in for the family and stumbled upon this place on skip.......OMG it Id dam amazing the chicken is cooked perfect and spices are phenomenal. I have never experienced something so delicious in my life. Ordered an order of original and angry at first o though oh thats a little expensive until it got here and I tasted it...worth every penny I will be back for many more fried chickens in the future. Thanks guys for the amazing food

Fresh, tasty and quick, a little bit pricey but the taste really worth. If you like spicy food, you must try crazy .

Hands down the best fried chicken Ive had, and Ive had them on 3 continents

I recently found this place through a co-worker who was in town for training, he had ordered the sweet and spicy, and gave me a few pieces because he didnt expect such a generous portion size. I immediately loved it, the chicken is juicy and tender with a delicious fried coating. The sauce was rich and flavorful, but didnt overpower the chicken either. Yesterday I ordered the angry chicken, being the spice-head that I am. Again, they were very generous with their portions, and I had enough to make it into two lunches. The Angry Chicken was definitely packed with heat and flavor and left me satisfied for the day. To say that I have a new favorite meal to eat in town does not come easily, but Tong Dak has made it happen. I recommend their food without reservation <3 PS: Next time Im trying the soy/garlic!

This chicken is out of this world amazing!!

Best chicken I have ever had!!!

First time there and can honestly say I have NEVER tasted better fried chicken!!! (And Ive tasted plenty). The service was friendly and helpful. The chicken was exceptional. Generous portions of chicken and I ordered the half size, so dont let the price fool you. WELL worth it!!! Will definitely be revisiting!!

Chicken was great and they didnt make me pay for the sauce the gave me

Best fried chicken in town! We recommend the Angry and the Go-Ma (and also any other kind). The service is also amazing :).

I got 20 piece chicken with fries. Well it said it comes with fries. I got about 8 fries to go with my 20 pieces of chicken! Called to tell them I didnt get my proper order of fries. Apparently thats all you get! Terrible customer service! I do not recommend!

Awsome food. Will visit again.

Great fried chicken. Must try!

I have tried the original, the cheese kind, gan-jang and yang-nyeum chicken and they are good. I will now try the angry and jalapeno garlic kind. This chicken is awesome and if you like lots of fries, just order extra fries; I dont because I rather fill up on lots of chicken.

Extremely greasy, couldnt even finish what I ordered.

Very good. Very filling. Got confused about full/half order and ordered way too much, felt expensive for 20 pc order. Still 5 star deliciousness.

Great mix of wings and white meat bites! Great sauce and reheat s in the oven crispy!

Cheese fried chicken tastes so delicious

BEST FRIED CHICKEN ON PLANET EARTH.

The customer service is kind and attentive and the food is amazing! Not to mention their innovative little plastic finger grabbers which makes eating fried chicken so much easier!!! And the portions are a good size for a fair price!

Excellent Korean fried chicken. This is one of the best I ve ever had as you can tell they use high quality ingredients (unlike most Korean fried chicken spots in Vancouver). Staff are very friendly and the chef made sure I was taken care of. One of two GEMS in downtown Kamloops, the other being Dr. Jaswal at Columbia Dental.

Got the classic chicken full order, me and my partner thought it was yummy. Lots of food for $32. Fries included was just a small, so get a side order too if youre wanting a bunch of fries. Friendly staff :) Get the soy/garlic sauce for dipping for $1 too!

Loved it! Eat there regularly..we have had everything on the menu and everything is super good...our last visit included curry cheese and the corn dog!...so good!...the cheese pull on the corndog was Instagram worthy!

Authentic Korean fried chicken. The original one is juicy and delicious

Ill eat it well May the Lords blessings always fill you...

Best friend chicken hands down!

I visit Kamloops almost every summer with my bf, and Im so happy to find this restaurant this year. We had a full size Yang-nyeum chicken, it was very juicy inside, crispy outside, and the sauce was amazingly well balanced between spiciness and sweetness. We were happily full and satisfied after hard hiking. So regretful that we couldnt take any pictures of this chicken since we couldnt even wait a second to eat once the package was opened. Great fries and twisted donuts as well!! The owners were super friendly and nice, too. This is our new go to place in Kamloops!

We had the plain and sweet and spicy chicken. Both were great. Would stop here again.

Best chicken in kamloops. Great flavors,awesome portions. Very,very good.

Delicious! Prompt! Affordable! Great Service! 100% will buy again, the Gan-Jang was so yummy and the quarter portion was more than enough food for me personally.

The best food Ive EVER had. Amazing service

Tried the angry chicken and absolutely loved it. The dish lives up to its name and is really very spicy. The owners are amazing as well. By far the best fried chicken place in Kamloops!

unreal. best fried chicken in town bar none, huge portion sizes great sauces. 10/10

High quality chicken with great flavours.

TongDak has amazing chicken. So crispy and so much variety. Staff are always super friendly and we love supporting a local business. Prices are super fair and you do get a decent amount of food, even the quarter size is the perfect meal. 100% best chicken place in town.

Order here a lot. The food is fantastic and the folks who work there are very nice.

Amazing food, best place for actual spicy food. Really friendly and understanding staff.

Wow! Super delish, tender and juicy! Huge serving size. Super friendly staff! Cant wait to try some different flavors. I tried the Gan-Jang and it was full of flavor!

110% THE BEST CHICKEN IN TOWN! This hidden gem has impressed me. I ordered the chicken salad and almost fell off my chair when I tasted the chicken! Crispy juicy fresh and absolutely divine! They definitely have a loyal customer for life with me. I will be bragging to all my friends and family about Tongdak. The quality is top notch perfection. The portions are generous and extremely fresh! The staff are happy and very kind.

Love the garlic soy chicken, amazing and hot and crispy. Love the staff as well, and their online ordering app and pick up works great. 10/10, and now they have another location!

For all korean food lovers, I really suggest you try their menu, its Fan Tas Tic! You can also say hi in Korean :)

This place is so good The people who work there/own it are really kind and the service is great

Amazing chicken! All flavors are a must try. So good!! True to form Korean Fried Chicken and a brilliant edition to the Kamloops food scene.

This place is awesome! Crispy, delicious fried chicken. The half size Yang-Neum chicken was a very good portion size, large enough to share someone a bite and not regret it. The cheaper chicken and fries combo is great value for one person. And the ColPop popcorn chicken and cola thing is super cute and tasty too! (And its not very expensive) Overall, really recommend this place. A new favorite in town.

Delicious and super flavorful chicken. Can t wait to try it again!

Love this chicken, juicy and flavor!! A must try....Welcome to Kamloops:)

Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. Friendly staff, delicious food. The whole chicken was a perfect amount of food for two people. The spicy chicken is super good, the soy sauce chicken is super good. Eat here. Feel good.

Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had!

Ordered Gan-Jang and the chicken was amazing. Got half order for two people and it was enough.

Meh...$11 for five chicken wings, soy sauce and some frozen fries...nothing special here, Im afraid.

The chicken tastes great and isnt overly salted like lots if other places in town. Their fries are excellent and they have some nice flavors of sauces to choose from. Ill definitely be going back for more as I think theyre one of the best places to get fried chicken in town.

Im pretty sure that theyre using 100% organic ingredients. Cause this is olny way explaining this ridiculous price and amount. My Korean friend and me really disappointed with the taste as well. We can not see any similarity between this one and real Korean Chicken.

Angry chiken is the BEST!! It is very spicy but sweet!! If you like spicy food, I strongly recommend it!!

Their spicy fried chicken reminds me of the one I had back in 1990s in Korea. Their sauce is really well balanced, not ridiculously sweet and has a good kick of go-chu-jang. I m a big foodie from Vancouver and if you are in the neighbour, you should totally check this place out!! Also portion is huge! :D

Friendly service and absolutely delicious chicken! Portions are perfectly sized; excellent value. The hungry people at Barnacle Records highly recommend this great spot!

This place is a pleasant surprise. I lived in Korea for a year and I have always craved Korean fried chicken. Korean fried chicken is super crispy, juicy on the inside and somehow they are able to soften the cartilage. This places receipe is good. Quite the authentic experience. Definitely recommend it.

The Tongdak chicken is real KOREAN style CHIKEN. Its so GOOD. Make sure you try it. This is the taste of heaven. Thank you for giving me this chicken. Take care:)

Seriously my new favourite eatery downtown. Nice folks, great value and flavour!

Its 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. Dont forget try to their Korean style bread. Looking at the picture... I want to eat it again. Im sure you will love it too :)

Mmmm those are some juicy yet crispy chicken. Better than any other fried chicken in kamloops!(at least in my opinion) there on the first day and I ll continue to visit everytime I visit! Tong Dak more like Tong damn that s delicious

Seriously delicious.

Best fried chicken Ive ever had. Huge portions....1/2 order is enough for 2.

Awesome chicken!

Wow! This chicken is by far the best chicken I have ever tasted. Its crispy and very tasty! It doesnt feel greasy or flakey when you bite into it, its like light and fluffy..Very yummy! Definitely! Going downtown, more often! This is a go to place for lunch or bring it home for dinner..The portion size is large.. So bring your appetites...

Delicious! We got half orders of the original and the garlic soya sauce chicken. Chicken was crunchy and tasty. French fries might be the best Ive ever had. I cant remember tastier. Id order a side of fries next time as there wasnt quite enough. We had plenty of chicken leftover. Fed our family of 2 adults and a 5 and 7 year-old well. Delivery was fast.

Some of the best fried chicken I ve had, pretty surprised! Gonna be a gem in Kamloops. Half order is huge and can easily feed 2 people.

Love their chicken !!!!

Thing I miss most about Korea is the fried chicken. This totally scratches that itch, really pleased this opened up.

My God! The portions are huuuuge and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back again!

I cant stop thinking about this fried chicken. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Have had it several times and its always really good chicken. Dont be nervous about the price because the portions are very generous! 2 thumbs up.

One of the best places for fried chicken. Amazing friendly people and great service. We had a variety of dishes and each one was unique and full of flavour Recommended!

Super delicious; a little expensive

Fantastic! The chicken is so crispy, delicious and fresh. The sauces are excellent, and the fries are very good as well. Very large portions. I look forward to ordering from here again soon!

I can t stop talking about this life changing fried chicken. I ve been raving about it for two days now. We had the creamy onion and honey butter garlic, they did not disappoint. 10/10. Would recommend to a friend.

Just tried it on a whim tonight wanting something different...little did I know I was in for the best chicken Ive ever had... So much value in the box too was blown away

I have never had fried chicken as good as the chicken at Tongdak. A great addition to the Victoria Street food court!
