Korean food and I have become quite inseparable over the years. Give me Korean fried chicken, cheesy tteokbokki, Korean BBQ, or even a comforting bowl of ramyeon, and I’m a very happy person.
So when I came across a place serving Korean burgers, it didn’t take much convincing for me to give it a try.
What started as a casual meal turned into one of those places I kept going back to, especially when I was craving something quick, satisfying, and packed with bold Korean flavours.
That place is Nak Nak.
Their Cyberjaya outlet has become one of my go-to spots whenever I don’t feel like thinking too hard about what to eat. More importantly, they have one burger that I’ve ordered more times than I can count: the Spicy Nak Dak Burger.
I’m ridiculously loyal when I find something I really enjoy on a menu, and this burger has been my favourite for quite some time.
Nothing has managed to dethrone it just yet.
✅ So, What is Nak Nak?
Nak Nak is a Korean fast-food restaurant that brings Korean flavours into burgers, fried chicken, rice bowls, loaded fries, and desserts.
It’s pretty much Korean comfort food in a fast-food setting, which I think is what makes Nak Nak different from the usual Korean restaurants. You can pop in, order through the kiosk, grab your food and be on your way without turning it into a whole dining affair.
And for my Muslim readers, Nak Nak is JAKIM halal-certified, so that’s one less thing to worry about when deciding where to eat.
Fun fact: Nak Nak was created by the same team behind K Fry Urban Korean. I’ve been to K Fry before, so when I found out they were behind Nak Nak too, it made sense why some of the flavours felt familiar.
I also like the story behind the name. Nak (낙) means joy in Korean, while “nak nak” also sounds like the Malay “nak” (want). It’s a simple little play on words, but I think it suits the brand quite well.
After coming back here so many times, I’d say the name fits. I usually leave Nak Nak pretty happy.
✅ The Ordering Experience: Self-Service Done Right
As soon as you walk in, you head straight to the touchscreen kiosks. No queues at the counter, no waiting behind someone who’s still deciding, and no awkward “uhh…” moments while trying to figure out what to order. You simply make your choices on the screen, where all the menu items come with big, clear pictures. I actually like this because I’m very much a visual person when it comes to food.
Once you’ve made your selections, you’ll be asked to enter your buzzer number. You’ll find the buzzers right next to the ordering kiosks, so just key in the number during checkout, make your payment, and you’re done.
All that’s left to do is grab a seat and wait for your buzzer to light up and vibrate when your food is ready to be collected.
It’s simple and fuss-free, which I appreciate. I don’t need much from a fast-food restaurant, but an easy ordering process definitely makes the whole experience better.
✅ What I’ve Tried (So Far)
I’ve kind of made it my personal foodie mission to try my way through Nak Nak’s menu. I haven’t managed to try everything yet, but I’ve had quite a few things over my visits, so here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Spicy Nak Dak Burger
This. Is. The one.
I’ve ordered it more times than I can count and somehow still get excited whenever I take the first bite. No matter what else I’m craving that day, the Spicy Nak Dak Burger almost always makes its way onto my tray.
We’re talking about perfectly crispy boneless fried chicken, stacked with lettuce, tomatoes, a slice of cheese, pickles, and a creamy sauce that gives major Thousand Island vibes. What really takes it to the next level is Nak Nak’s signature spicy gochujang sauce. OMG, the combination is ridiculously good.
It’s spicy, crunchy, creamy, and wonderfully messy in all the right ways. This is easily the burger I keep coming back for.
- Nak Nak Cheeseburger
If the Spicy Nak Dak Burger is my forever favourite, then the Nak Nak Cheeseburger is its slightly less spicy but equally lovable sibling.
Made with a 100% beef patty, this burger skips the signature gochujang kick and lets the creamy cheese sauce take centre stage instead. It’s rich, indulgent, and every bit as satisfying if you’re not particularly fond of spicy food.
Personally, I’d still choose the Spicy Nak Dak Burger every single time, but I can definitely see why this would become someone’s favourite order.
I’d happily order this again too.
- Nak Nak Chicken
Whether you go for boneless thighs or wings & drumettes, these babies do not disappoint.
They come out crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavour. Just like the Korean fried chicken you’d expect from your favourite K-food spots.
Here are the flavours I’ve tried so far:
-
- Nak Dak Gochujang (Boneless Thigh): A solid pick if you like that classic gochujang kick.
- Nak Dak with Cheese Sauce: A good choice if you’re a cheese lover.
- Spicy Gochujang Wings: This one brings more heat, with a bold and spicy gochujang flavour.
No matter which flavour you choose, the chicken always arrives hot, fresh, and coated in just the right amount of sauce.
- Seaweed Rice
I ordered this to pair with my Spicy Nak Dak Gochujang. I mean, come on… Asian and rice? You just can’t separate us. 😂
It’s a bowl of warm, fluffy rice that’s slightly sticky, mixed with shredded seaweed, sesame seeds and their signature soy sauce. If you want something simple to balance out the richer and heavier parts of your meal, this works really well.
- Loaded Bulgogi Beef Fries
Nak Nak’s Loaded Bulgogi Beef Fries start with a base of thick-cut, golden fries topped with tender bulgogi beef, generous drizzles of creamy cheese sauce, and a sprinkle of spring onions.
Every bite is rich, cheesy and packed with umami.
- Nak Nak Original Fries
Sometimes, simple is all you really need.
The Nak Nak Original Fries may not be the flashiest thing on the menu, but they deserve a little appreciation too.
Perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they’re the kind of fries you’ll find yourself reaching for long after you’ve told yourself, “Okay, that’s enough.”
- Drinks
When you pick up your order at the counter, they’ll hand you a metal cup for your drink. Choose from three drink options, all with free refills. Yes, really.
-
- Homemade Iced Tea
- Fresh Hand-Squeezed Lemonade
- Soft Drinks
Nak Nak also offers desserts, milkshakes, and cookies… but I haven’t tried those yet, so I can’t really tell you much about them. Maybe next time?
✅ Price & Value for Money
Their burgers are generally priced between RM17 and RM20 à la carte, while their chicken dishes range between RM16 and RM20, depending on your choice of flavour.
Considering the quality of the food, portion sizes, and the overall dining experience, I personally think the prices are reasonable.
More importantly, I never leave feeling like I’ve paid too much for what I’ve ordered, which is probably one of the reasons I find myself returning so often.
For me, Nak Nak offers a nice balance between affordability, flavour, and convenience.
Prices may have changed since my visits, so I’d recommend checking the official Nak Nak website before heading over: Nak Nak Menu
✅ The Dining Experience
The restaurant has a casual fast-food concept with a bright and welcoming atmosphere. You’ll find a mixture of regular dining tables and high bar seating throughout the space, while K-pop music plays softly in the background to complete the Korean-inspired experience.
I also appreciate the thoughtful little details they’ve included for diners. Plastic gloves are provided for those messy (but delicious) moments involving saucy chicken and burgers, and there’s even an automatic hand-washing machine available after your meal. I was admittedly a little confused about how to use it during my first visit, but it’s surprisingly straightforward and oddly satisfying to watch in action.
Since Nak Nak operates on a self-service concept, diners are expected to return their trays after eating. Personally, I don’t mind this at all. In fact, I think it complements the restaurant’s fast and efficient concept rather nicely.
It’s quick, convenient, and exactly the kind of dining experience I’d expect from a modern Korean fast-food restaurant.
✅ Location & Opening Hours
Nak Nak has grown quite a lot since opening its very first outlet at IOI City Mall Putrajaya. Today, you’ll find several branches across the Klang Valley, including Cyberjaya, Bangsar, The Exchange TRX, KLIA Terminal 2, Ampang, and Puchong, with more outlets continuing to pop up over the years.
While I’ve visited a few of their branches, the Cyberjaya outlet will probably always be my go-to. It’s usually less hectic than some of the busier mall locations, making it the perfect spot when I’m craving a quiet and fuss-free Korean food fix.
📍Reviewed Outlet: Nak Nak (Cyberjaya)

✅ Would I Recommend Nak Nak?
Absolutely.
I like places that don’t need to make things complicated. Good food, easy ordering, reasonable prices, and enough variety to keep me interested. Nak Nak ticks all those boxes for me.
It’s also one of those places that is dangerously easy to crave. I try to limit my visits because, hey, it’s still fast food… but I never stay away for long. 😂
The Spicy Nak Dak Burger is still the main reason I keep coming back. I’ve tried quite a few things from the menu, but that one remains my favourite.
So if you’re craving Korean comfort food or simply curious to see what Nak Nak is about, I’d say it’s worth giving a try.
Joy is definitely on the menu!
