Michelin-Starred Chef Woongchul Park brings Korean Fried Chicken to Flat Iron Square

Korean fried chicken is getting a Michelin-starred makeover at Flat Iron Square, where chef Woongchul Park has launched Papa Dak, a new casual concept inspired by his Korean heritage and love of seriously good fried chicken. Park, chef-owner of Michelin-starred Sollip in London Bridge has swapped fine dining for something altogether more indulgent, creating a compact menu centred around crispy, double-fried chicken and bold Korean flavours.

The headline act comes in two varieties, both topped with rice crisps for extra crunch. Korean Red (£12) takes its cues from classic yangnyeom chicken, coated in a sticky, sweet and spicy glaze, while Guinness Black (£13) offers an unexpected London twist with a deep, savoury Guinness glaze. Elsewhere, So-Tok So-Tok skewers (£5) pair smoked sausage with chewy Korean rice cakes, while sides include Kole-Slaw with carrot, fish sauce, Korean chilli and sesame, plus garlic and ginger Pickled Kohlrabi. Bringing friends? The Korean Feast (£36) serves four with both chicken flavours, skewers and sides.

Even the name has family at its heart: ‘Dak’ means chicken in Korean, while the crowned chicken logo was created by Park and his wife and business partner Bomee's children. Now serving at Flat Iron Square, Borough, Papa Dak brings Michelin-level know-how to the gloriously messy world of Korean fried chicken – and we're very much here for it.

Address: Flat Iron Square, 45 Southwark Street, London, SE1 9HP

If you haven’t heard about Frameless and its incredible immersive art experiences, where have you been!. It has staged many incredible shows including Van Gogh, Dali and David Hockney to rave reviews and thousands of visitors have piled into the space to experience art in a very different way.

This June Frameless is proud to host ‘Brainstorms: A Great Gig in the Sky.’ Set against the backdrop of Pink Floyd music from the highly-celebrated 1973 album ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, visitors will embark on a multisensory journey through four immersive galleries showcasing stunning visualisations of brain activity in response to music. This unique event will illuminate the profound connection between music and cognitive processes.

Exclusively on Friday and Saturday nights throughout June 2024, and reserved for guests over 18, this event is part of Frameless Lates, the venue’s esteemed after-hours series. The experience is a collaborative effort between the San Francisco-based Pollen Music Group and Richard Wright Music Limited. It showcases the findings of the ‘Brainstorms’ research initiative, where participants’ neural responses to Pink Floyd’s ‘The Great Gig in the Sky’ were documented last fall. The EEG data captured reflects the intricate tapestry of excitement, curiosity, tranquillity, and tension experienced during the listening session.

Tickets for ‘Brainstorms: A Great Gig in the Sky’ start at £30 and are now on sale.
