Todd ‘I Believe I Can Fry’

Todd (a Thai word meaning "fry") is a tiny, tucked away spot off of the main drag of Bayview. There are four seats and enough room to order, but plenty of seating on the patio and picnic area in the back. We came in the fall and sat in a heated pergola. They also had a screen and projector playing sports and a fire pit to sit around, which felt pretty cozy... I cannot imagine sitting in this in the dead of a winter but it could be worth it for the food! You need to come and try this place if you have any appreciation of fried chicken in all its glorious forms! The fried wings are marvelous and come in various sizes with the larget being 21 wings with three choices of powders and sauces. We tried Tom Yum, which is powder and tastes of vinegar and pickles and warm spice! We also had Larb powder which was tingly, warm and left my mouth just salivating from the dry heat. The third one was a sauce called Thai sweet chili and was the perfect compliment to the dry powders. I would highly recommend the beef gyoza with katsu sauce. It was just fried to a nice thin crisp with some very tasty beef, dipped into the sweet and tangy fats made the perfect pairing. We dared to try the takoyaki, which I can only describe as lightly fried mashed potato and chopped octopus balls. Not our favorite, but we are not huge fans of octopus. The korokke was reminiscent of mashed potatoes lightly in oil fried with mayo and katsu drizzled on top. Very serviceable. The staff were very helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions. Overall, I would highly, highly recommend coming here for the Todd chicken!

The best pot stickers I have ever had. The chicken rice wash very good. The Mac n cheese balls was gross not worth the money

I love me some fried chicken, and this one is delicious!! Even though I needed to order to go and travel 40 minutes before I could try, it was still delicious. So definately travels well. I’m sure that eating over there would be even better, the patio is very pleasant and the day today was gorgeous. The service was great and food came out fast. That’s a place I’ll stop by again. The whole menu seems very tasty, can’t wait to try some more items from their menu.

Ordered Karrage (soy garlic), tenders (seqoul BBQ), fried fish, cheesy beef bulgogi gyoza, rice cakes, sticky rice, kimchi and kimchi slaw. The Karrage in soy garlic was my favorite of everything. The seqoul BBQ sauce was too sweet for my liking on the tenders. The cheesy beef bulgogi gyoza were very strange. The Benito flakes had an extremely heavy fish odor; there were too many flakes and it overpowered everything. Rice cakes and sticky rice were both good. Kimchi was good, didn't care for the kimchi slaw. Fried fish, good also. There are only 5 seats indoors, so wintertime you may want to do takeout. With tip everything was $73. A bit pricy for the serving sizes. I would return for the soy garlic Karrage.

Chicken was very juicy and freshly fried. Mixed 3 different flavors. Mango habanero, laab, and sczechaun. Wife did say habenero had some spice kick to it. The laab and sczechaun was very flavorful but heavily seasoned which was a bit overpowering. If it had a nice light seasoning, they would have been stars. The cheesey beef gyoza was very good. We all loved it. The fries were fresh and perfectly cooked. Will definitely come back to try this hidden gem.

The food is SO good! There are only a few bar stools, but there is a lot of patio seating. If you stay to eat, consider the reasonably priced beer tower! It also seemed like a lot people get it to-go or as delivery.

Great service, staff was super friendly and inviting. The food, was amazing! Great flavor, quality and quantity. Would Recommend to anyone. Be prepared they are limited with in door seating, they do have plenty of tables outside though.
