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
