About The Dak

Crisp, twice-fried Korean chicken cut to survive the ride home anchors this counter-order Southport shop. Regulars rely on massive boneless boxes coated in sticky yangnyum or chilli garlic, paired with pickled radish and salty fries. Whole fried chicken thigh burgers round out the takeaway boards, stacked high and built for serious appetites.

  • Enduring crunch: Twice-fried batter holds its crunch over transport and delivery without turning soft.
  • Thigh-fillet burgers: Whole fried chicken thighs stacked on buns with seasoned chips.
  • Shareable sauce boxes: Multi-piece boneless boxes glazed in sweet, spicy yangnyum or chilli garlic sauce.

Practical tips on ordering, seating, and portion sizes before visiting The Dak

  • Opt for Takeaway or Outdoor Spots

    Seating at the shop is very tight, so plan to grab your order to go or walk down the road to Broadwater Parklands to eat.

  • Plan for Generous Portions

    Servings are substantial, with burger combos and multi-piece boxes often leaving plenty of leftovers to take home.

  • Travel and Leftover Friendly

    The twice-fried batter stays crisp over delivery journeys and even cold the next day, making it an easy pick for takeaway or later meals.
