Must Try This Fried Chicken in NYC‼️

📍 Mr Dak

Today, my friend and I stumbled upon this super cool fried chicken pub that’s got the vibe! The atmosphere was perfect with dim lighting, lots of neon signs, and two big screens playing the game. It felt like the ultimate chill spot!

The owner is a Korean guy, and the menu has so many sauces for the fried chicken. But when we saw the fried chicken + tteokbokki set for just $37, we had to go for it—great deal! We also added truffle fries and a few small side dishes.

The fried chicken was super juicy and crispy (not made with chicken breast, but with meat that has a bit of oil in it, which makes it so flavorful). The scallion fried chicken was a pleasant surprise, really tasty! The stir-fried rice cakes (tteokbokki) had the perfect texture—soft and chewy with the perfect balance of sauce.
