Mr. Dak

Korean fried chicken is fried twice, so the skin goes thin and glassy, and then either left plain or lacquered in sauce. Mr. Dak, a small shop in Auburndale, fries to order — expect to wait a while — and promises three things on its own site: better chicken, clean oil, tasty sauce.

Order a mix: soy garlic, the creamy onion, and a spicy red for heat. Rice-cake sausage skewers and kimchi fried rice are the sides people mention, and there is budae jjigae for a group. It is good takeout and better eaten immediately, with a cold beer.
