My grandson, wife and I went in for a late night dinner and the server completely dismissed for not being Korean. We were sat in tonight and 10-15 minutes later another group of patrons came who happened to be Korean just walked in, she walked by us and cleaned up their table. She then left and came back bringing them water then took off without acknowledging us. She came back to the other group speaking in Korean then back to the other table who came after us to take their order without saying anything us again. There were only 3 tables with diners outside so it was impossible to miss us and this was being done on purpose. I went back inside to see if I can speak to a manager but she came up to me to do damage control as she knew my family was upset. She admitted that she saw us and acknowledged that it was rude of her then disingenuously apologized. I left without speaking to the manager as we would rather use that time to find another restaurant. The disrespect was very blatant and it's a pretty disgusting feeling to be treated that way.It would have an improvement to see a sign in the front saying your preferred customers as it would have saved me the time and embarrassment. read more

I love the flavors here. We got Gimme Basak and Black Aglio flavors, with corn fries and jalapeno poppers for sides. You order at the kiosk in front and most things like utensils and water cups are self serve. I actually prefer it this way. Everything was super yummy and I'll definitely be coming back to try more options. read more

Puradak - Gimme Basak (left) and Black Aglio (right) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Buena Park, California

I used to order from this place once a month when I lived in Korea, so I was super excited to learn that they were opening one in Buena Park! == FOOD == My friend and I got 2 different sets: a 4pc black aglio boneless with large fries, and a 4pc creamy jalapeno boneless with chicken radish. I'm taking 1 star away because why are they charging the chicken radish as a side...?! Doesn't the chicken radish always come WITH the chicken? At least every other chicken place I go to does this. Anyways, the food is not bad, the black aglio is way better than the creamy jalapeno. == SERVICE == The cashier takes your order and brings you your food, but everything else is basically self-serve. Water, utensils, condiments and napkins are all located at the front to the side. We also throw our own trash away after we are finished eating. == AMBIANCE == The restaurant is pretty big, can seat at least 40 people, I think. I came on a Saturday morning around 11:30am. The walls are filled with decoration of the different flavors of chicken, and the different "luxury" to-go boxes. There's also a bar (?) at the back, but I don't think they've done anything with that section yet. It was still empty when I went. read more

We came in before last call so the service was quick and friendly. However the chicken wasn't crispy and the corn didn't feel fresh. Could have been our fault for coming so late. But it was very clean inside and good music/vibes.. just think we came at the wrong time. read more

Get the black aglio wings! It's really tasty, especially if you like garlic-flavored food. The worker was really nice and service was quick. I like that it's spacious inside and clean. I love korean fried chicken, and currently the black aglio is at the top of my list for best flavor. read more

Tried the chicken wrap with the mabulro sauce and it was pretty good not too spicy and on the sweeter side. It's a good snack wrap. Their black cheese balls is good too and it's squid ink. read more

Puradak - Chicken Wings Near Me - Buena Park, California

Puradak just opened a 'pop-up' in the 3rd floor of The Source OC (replacing the Chinese Fifty One). It's still new so I'm giving it 5 stars assuming that it works out a few things. Chicken quality was amazing, with the sauce having a big variety. I would return and try more menu items. Puradak is first and foremost a chicken place, and their chicken was well cooked. We had the Mabulro sandwich and two sets of 8-piece boneless chicken and all were very moist inside. The boneless wings were about twice the size of a McDonalds chicken nugget, and maybe a bit flatter. I expect that this geometry helps to cook them while keeping the inside moist. The best flavor is their flagship Black Aglio. It is a combo of soy sauce and garlic, and bursting with flavor while still seeming to only need a light sauce coat on the chicken. There was some liquid beneath the chicken, but I didn't know until the end and also didn't think the chicken needed to be dipped. The Chili Mayo was a medium flavor, since the mayo helps temper the spiciness, although you can eat the pepper slices to take the heat up. I do think that this Mayo sauce was over-applied, since I felt it heavy in my stomach after having a single piece. This was an appropriate sauce to dip French fries into. The Mabulro sandwich is supposed to be the spiciest item with 3 Fire icons on the menu. However I would describe it as just mild, and I say that as someone with low spice tolerance. Maybe the recipe was off today, but I think the chili mayo with pepper slices would burn more than the Mabulro sauce. The sandwich was wrapped to-go and the bun became soaked in sauce. Probably better in person, although thickening the sauce up more would also redress this concern. I do wish there was more cole slaw on the sandwich. For sides the French fries are good. They have some light seasoning (salt and parsley maybe), and work well dipped into ketchup or extra chicken flavoring sauce. I liked the fries and wished that we had paid the $1 to upgrade the fries to the large side. The coleslaw was bland, barely any flavor, though it was therefore light and had a good crunch to it. read more

Puradak - Whole chicken, black aglio and mayo - Chicken Wings Near Me - Buena Park, California

I was there with my friend last Friday and had a horrible experience. There were handful employees on site but they were too busy talking to each other. We had hard time ordering and being served. The food was just chicken nothing special. Menu was very simple, nothing attractive. I don't think we will never go back read more

I'm surprised there's never anyone here because I really liked the food. I've been wanting to try this place because the advertisements around The Source looked yummy, and I was curious about the chili Mayo chicken. I've stood outside a couple times and didn't go inside because of how empty it looks. I almost didn't go in today because of the same reason, but I mustered up the courage to go inside. I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the chicken was. We got the chili mayo chicken and the black aglio chicken. Both were moist and cooked very well. I personally preferred the chili mayo chicken. I actually really liked the sauce because I like mayo stuff. It was creamy, sweet, and a little spicy... and it's also not a flavor that I see a lot. My boyfriend doesn't like sweet stuff as much, so he preferred the black aglio chicken. It's basically a soy garlic chicken with garlic chips on top. The garlic chips make it tbh. Otherwise, it's just kinda normal. I do wish that the wings were a bit bigger so that they would be more satisfying to bite into... also the fries are bland. But the pickled radish was pretty good. Overall, I think this place is underrated. The emptiness of the restaurant just throws off the ambiance a bit. I really hope this place survives... especially with the building's history of failed restaurants. read more

Service was absolutely horrible. Took several minutes to be seated even after the servers saw our group. Our server gave us attitude as soon as we finally got seated and kept forgetting to bring our drinks. Their food was even more disappointing. I ordered the chili mayo and spotted a blue spot on it. It took several minutes to get our servers attention but when he finally came over he confirmed it was indeed plastic. Then proceeds to try and hand it back to me.. only until I asked him to make a new one did he even offer hesitantly if he should ask the kitchen staff to make a new order. They thought I wouldnt notice they only remade the 1 piece that had melted plastic in it and handed it back to me. The server then hid the rest of the time. read more

Summary - very korean good chicken place We went during lunch time and we were greeted by a kiosk. Ordering can be done through a kiosk but can also be done in person (i think). Fairly simple to do. Place is clean and feels like a korean chicken place at Seoul. My girlfriend liked how Korea it felt. As for their chicken, it was pretty good. Im not a big friend chicken person or fried food in general because its too greasy but because of their sweet corn sauce and salty and sweet black sauce, greasy flavor was bit bearable. Chicken is very tender but not rubbery like you see on most fried chicken place, like the down stair pelicans or kfc. Overall, one of the better korean chicken place in the area, better than pelicana. read more

Puradak - Black sauce and sweet corn half and half - Chicken Wings Near Me - Buena Park, California

My husband said, "meh," but I devoured it!! *Togo Order.* We're huge fans of Korean chicken--my husband loves it spicy, while I lean more towards the soy garlic and original flavors. While wandering around The Source Mall, we stumbled upon Puradak and couldn't resist. We were so excited that we made sure to swing by the next day for a Togo order on our way home from work. I was so hyped I wanted to order everything on the menu, but I had to hold back... We ordered two flavors: Black Aglio + Gimme Basak, a large boneless sweet & spicy, and I had to try their Mabulro flavor, so I added the Mabulro Chicken Sandwich. All of it came with a side and we chose pickled radish which was the perfect pairing. Each chicken had such enjoyable, rich flavors. Definitely recommend, and we'll be back--especially since we got a good amount of coupons! Next time, we're dining in, and I'll see what my husband thinks then (I have a feeling he'll come around). Also, I have to mention the Togo packaging--it can't be ignored. It's hands down the best chicken Togo box we've ever seen. It's just chicken, but it truly brings their logo to life! read more

4.5 stars! One of the better Korean chicken wings I've had Food: Black oglio wings 5/5: not too salty or sweet. It's a thicker sauce so it doesn't make the wings soggy. Crispy and moist. Corn wings 2/5: this is a dry rub so super crispy. The flavors were too sweet and buttery though. I will definitely come back to get the black oglio and try the other flavors. They have some unique ones! Service 5/5: friendly cashier and the wings came out fast. I'm used to waiting 15-30 minutes at most Korean wing places. This was under 10. I also like how they have plates, cups, napkins and utensils out in a self serve area. If you have small kids, you know convenient this is. You don't have to wait for the server to request that 10th napkin for your messy kid. This is a standalone restaurant at the source 3rd floor with plenty of tables inside and out. Super casual but good. I like it better than pelicana, bbq, and Koko. read more

was at the source and decided to check it out! the place is clean and spacious + friendly staff. got the chili mayo sandwich ($9) with combo that comes with medium fries and a drink ($4) so one meal in total was about $13 which i find a bit pricey. the sandwich kinda needed more sauce, since it felt dry, even tho i got one that already comes with sauce. i think it would be better to get the regular sandwich and pay $1 for any sauce they offer, which comes down to be the same price of $9. maybe next time i would try their wings instead! read more

I love their name, Puradak. It sounds like Prada. My first thought was fried and flavored chicken might cost very expensive ;) I tried their 'chili mayo' & 'black aglio'. Love them both. Food was ordered on the phone and it was ready on time. I want to visit the place next time :) read more

My family and I tried Puradak today for the first time and overall it was a good experience. We ordered the family meal which the menu states serves 3-4 people and comes with a large order of chicken wings (16 pcs total and you can choose two flavors), tteobokki, 5 cheese balls, chicken salad and soft drinks for $74. We also ordered the $19 sampler plate of side dishes to supplement our meal. The service was friendly and fast. The food was good for the most part. Our family enjoyed the chicken wings and the cheese balls the most. The black aglio sauce was delicious. They gave us plenty of sauce and it was topped with sautéed garlic . The garlic had a really soft and mellow flavor and complimented the black sauce nicely. The gimme basak crispy seaweed wings were good too. I found myself mixing the crispy seasoning of the seaweed and the black sauce to dip the French fries and it was a really great combo! They garnished the seaweed wings with fried seaweed which we polished off. The tteobokki was pretty good. I could taste a little fishiness from the fish cakes in every piece of tteobokki which threw me off. Maybe they used the fish cake soup in the sauce. The texture was nice and chewy though and we ended up polishing off 99% of the plate. It had a little spiciness too. The sampler was the only thing I'd skip next time. The nacho sauce was cold which was strange. Usually nacho sauce is nice and warm but this one was kind of gloppy. Otherwise I think it woulda been okay. We dipped the fries in the black aglio sauce which was good. The mozzarella stick was hard by the time I ate it, but to be fair I ate it at the end of the meal. Next time I'd consider ordering the family meal again and get the black aglio sauce and the corn flavor. They've got a lot of interesting flavors to try. Overall I'd give it a 4.5 for the food and service. read more

the service was nice and easy, servers were all nice and attentive. the ambiance seems like a standard korean fried chicken place. the food however...i personally didn't like the oven fried concept and thought the flavors were not good. the gimme basak had no flavor, simply a touch of toasted seaweed. the black agilo tasted like straight up fish...not a fish sauce type of fish but like the chicken was fishy..i don't know maybe not for me read more

Friend and I came here yesterday and got the Couples deal and honestly we thought it was a great value!

Four of us went on Sunday around 4pm. We ordered medium wings with four different flavors: Black Aglio, Chili Mayo, Gimme Basak and Corn So-Amazing. That was the perfect amount of food for our group - 36 wings for three women and one guy. My favorite was the Black Aglio. It's very clean, has a fast food restaurant vibe, food came out super fast. read more

service was okay. I was waiting for my party of 2 to come and was running late. I started to get annoyed when the two workers came separately if I wanted to order when I told them I would order when all the party is there the food was okay but I wouldnt come again. the corn cheese bread is okay. we got the black aglio, corn so-amazing and chili mayo and rose rice cake black aglio sauce was too sweet. soy garlic flavor over powered the garlic and the sauce made the chicken too moist so there is no crunch corn so-amazing was the only thing that was okay. Even though the powder was too dry at least I was able to dip the chicken on the loose powder chili mayo was the worst. the mayo taste like condensed milk and the chili tasted too mushy and the flavor weren't adding up. they changed the rose tteokboki and to be honest it wasnt the right taste. the server said the recipe changed but I dont its the case. I can taste more tteokboki than rose and the color was definitely tteokboki. read more

Ordered from the kiosk and received the food within 20 mins for dine in. This was such a let down from the first time I came here with friends a couple of months ago. The wings came out steamy hot the first time. Tonight, The food came out less than room temperature. The wings were cold. No steam coming out. You just lose your appetite. The eggs on the fried rice were cold as if it came out of fridge and topped it on the fried rice. Even the rice itself wasn't even hot. The food tasted as if it didn't come out fresh. The last thing I would want is food poisoning because the food wasn't in the right temperature to be served. The servers didn't know want to do and how to help. Definitely not coming back. Do yourself a favor and go to pelicana instead. Much better wings. read more
