Fuku Opens First Palm Beach County Location at CityPlace

• Fuku, the fried chicken concept created by celebrity chef David Chang, has officially opened at CityPlace in West Palm Beach.
• The restaurant is known for its habanero-brined, Korean-inspired crispy chicken sandwiches, loaded waffle fries, and bold flavors.
• The opening brings another nationally recognized dining brand to one of South Florida's fastest-growing retail and entertainment destinations.

What Fuku Brings to West Palm Beach

Fuku has officially opened at 407 S. Rosemary Ave. at CityPlace in West Palm Beach, giving locals a new destination to experience the brand's signature Korean-inspired fried chicken and bold flavors.

Originally created inside Momofuku as a late-night meal for chefs, Fuku has since evolved into its own fast-casual brand led by CEO Claudia Lezcano. While founded by acclaimed chef David Chang, the company now operates independently with its own leadership team.

What Makes Fuku Different

Fuku has built its reputation around habanero-brined, Korean-inspired crispy chicken, delivering a unique blend of heat, crunch, and flavor. Alongside its signature chicken sandwiches, guests can also enjoy loaded waffle fries and a selection of house-made sauces that have helped build a loyal following. The brand's focus on high-quality ingredients and bold flavors has made it a standout in the competitive fast-casual dining space.

What This Means for CityPlace

The West Palm Beach location marks Fuku's second standalone restaurant in Florida, following the opening of its first Florida location in Coral Gables at 135 Miracle Mile in March 2026. Its expansion into CityPlace reflects the brand's continued growth and confidence in South Florida's thriving dining market.
