Harden's says
Woongchul Park, co-owner of nearby Sollip (see also, winner of Harden’s Best Newcomer of the Year in 2021) is breaking with his haute cuisine origins with the summer 2026 launch of this casual ‘KFC’ (‘Korean Fried Chicken’) concept (‘dak’ meaning chicken in Korean): an all-day dining venue in Southwark, whose stated aim is “big flavour in every bite – saucy, delicious and exactly what you want when those indulgent cravings hit”. Signature dishes include the ‘Korean Red’ (with a sticky, sweet and spicy glaze) and ‘Guinness Black’ (in homage to the Irish stout) as well as ‘so-tteok so-tteok’ skewers (so – sausage; tteok – rice cake).

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
