How to Order
Puradak is a great budget-friendly choice for Korean fried chicken. Order at the counter or kiosk (Korean with photos). Most branches are small neighborhood shops — cozy but limited seating. Delivery via Baemin/Yogiyo is popular. Wait ~12–15 min for fresh chicken. Card accepted at most branches. Try the original fried chicken first — their crispy skin is legendary.

With approximately 1,100-1,200 stores nationwide, Puradak represents the elevated side of Korean chicken culture.
The must-try flagship item is the Black Label Garlic Soy Chicken (블랙라벨 간장치킨, ~₩21,000) — crispy fried chicken glazed in a rich, sweet garlic soy sauce that is distinctly different from Western fried chicken.
Other popular choices include the Gochu Basasak (spicy chili-crunch chicken) and Pure Cream Chicken (creamy white garlic sauce).
Primarily delivery-focused with many dine-in locations available, ordering is straightforward via Baemin or Coupang Eats apps with picture menus accessible to non-Korean speakers.
Many tourists discover Puradak through K-dramas where the recognizable black boxes appear prominently.
A whole chicken (serves 2-3) costs around ₩20,000-22,000.
