What Fuku Brings to West Palm Beach

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.

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.
