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.
If you’ve been following Wanderhoney for a while, you’ve probably realised that I’ve written about my fair share of Korean food adventures too. Strangely enough, though, I’ve never written about one of my favourite Korean eateries despite eating there more times than I can count.
That place is Nak Nak.
It’s one of those places I find myself returning to whenever I’m craving something quick, satisfying, and full of bold Korean flavours. Their Cyberjaya outlet has quietly become my go-to whenever I don’t feel like thinking too hard about what to eat.
And if there’s one thing you should know about me before we go any further, it’s this: I’m ridiculously loyal when I find something I love on a menu.
Which explains why I order their Spicy Nak Dak Burger almost every single time I visit.
Nothing has managed to dethrone it just yet.
✅ What is Nak Nak?
Nak Nak is a straightforward Korean fast-food restaurant that brings together bold Korean flavours and the convenience of fast dining.
The restaurant specialises in Korean-inspired burgers, fried chicken, rice bowls, loaded fries, and desserts, all served in a casual and modern fast-food setting that’s perfect when you’re craving Korean food without committing to a full Korean BBQ feast.
And for my Muslim readers, you’ll be happy to know that Nak Nak is halal-certified too.
Fun fact: Nak Nak was created by the same team behind K Fry Urban Korean. So if you’ve enjoyed K Fry before, you’ll probably have a pretty good idea of the kind of flavours to expect here.
Another fun little detail? ‘Nak Nak’ isn’t just a catchy name. The name is inspired by the Korean word nak (낙), which means joy. Combined with the playful Malay repetition of “nak nak” (want, want), it perfectly reflects what the brand is all about, bringing a little joy to every meal.
Safe to say, I think they’ve chosen the perfect name.
✅ 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 taking forever to decide, and no awkward “uhh…” moments at the counter while the staff stares at you waiting for your decision. Just you and a super intuitive screen with big, bright pictures of every menu item (which I love, because visuals make everything easier).
Once you’ve made your selections, you’ll be asked to enter your buzzer number (you’ll find the buzzers right next to rthe ordering kiosks). Just key in the number during checkout, make your payment, and boom… you’re good to go.
Now 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. Super easy, super smooth.
It’s fast, fuss-free, and I honestly wish more places would make ordering this easy.
✅ What I’ve Tried (So Far)
I’ve kind of made it my personal foodie mission to work my way through as much of Nak Nak’s menu as possible. So here’s the lowdown on what I’ve tried so far:
- 🍔 Spicy Nak Dak Burger
This. Is. The one. The burger that completely stole my heart.
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. But what really takes it to the next level? Nak Nak’s signature spicy gochujang sauce, and OMG, the combination is ridiculously good
It’s spicy, crunchy, creamy, and wonderfully messy in all the right ways. Basically, it’s the kind of burger that makes you do a little happy dance with every single bite.
- 🍔 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.
Safe to say, I wouldn’t mind ordering this again either.
- 🍗 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 with that classic gochujang kick.
Nak Dak with Cheese Sauce: If you’re a cheese lover, this one’s a must.
Spicy Gochujang Wings: This one brings the heat! Bold, fiery, and packed with that signature Korean gochujang kick.
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 (slightly sticky) mixed with shredded seaweed, sesame seeds and their signature soy sauce. If you need something to balance out the richness of your meal, this is it.
- 🍟 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 delivers rich, cheesy, umami-packed goodness.
It’s indulgent. It’s messy. It’s satisfying.
- 🍟 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 full disclosure: I haven’t tried them yet, so I can’t say much. 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 fair.
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. Nak Nak offers a nice balance between affordability, flavour, and convenience.
For the latest menu and pricing, I’d recommend checking out their official website before visiting: 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.
📍 Nak Nak (Cyberjaya)
Persiaran Multimedia, Cyber 11,
63000 Cyberjaya, Selangor
🕒 Opening Hours
Daily: 10 AM – 10 PM
Since opening hours may differ slightly between outlets, I’d recommend checking their official website or social media pages before visiting your preferred branch.
✅ Would I Recommend Nak Nak?
Absolutely.
If you’ve made it this far, I don’t think my answer will come as much of a surprise.
Nak Nak is one of those places that are dangerously easy to crave. I try to limit my visits (because hey, it’s still fast food)… But let’s be real: I never stay away for long.
The Spicy Nak Dak Burger? It has me in a chokehold.
So if you ever find yourself craving Korean comfort food or you’re just curious after reading this, you know where to go. Joy is definitely on the menu.
