Chicken and beer on a terrace in Seongseo, Daegu: Puradak Daegu Igok

I visited Puradak Daegu Igok (푸라닭 대구이곡점), a chicken place in Seongseo. It has an outdoor terrace and a big screen, so it's a great spot for watching baseball too. Let me show you around ^__^

Where is Puradak Daegu Igok, and what about parking and hours?

Puradak Daegu Igok is at 13 Igokseo-ro, Dalseo-gu, Daegu, and it has a parking lot. Hours are Mon–Thu 16:40–24:00, Fri–Sat 16:40–00:30, and Sunday 15:30–24:00.

The restaurant is near Seongseo Industrial Complex Station, so it's easy to reach by public transport. There's a parking lot next to the restaurant, a bit small, but if it's full you can park along the roadside.

Is it a good place for chicken and beer with soccer or baseball on the big screen?

The inside has a pub-like feel, with long tables that run on and on, so it looked well suited to groups and gatherings. There's also a big screen, so getting a group together to cheer on a soccer or baseball game over chicken and beer seems like the perfect setup, doesn't it?

Looking for outdoor seating in Dalseo? Puradak Daegu Igok's terrace and roadside seats

Puradak Daegu Igok has terrace seats and roadside outdoor seats (yajang). We sat on the terrace, and a cool breeze blew in, which put me in a good mood. It's pleasant yet still feels like being outdoors, so you get the best of both worlds.

There are roadside outdoor seats too, so this Seongseo chicken spot is perfect for anyone looking for outdoor dining in Dalseo at this time of year.

Things to do while you wait, and the handy extras

So you don't get bored while waiting, Puradak Daegu Igok has a dart game area inside, which is a fun way to spend time with friends, a partner or family.

Puradak Daegu Igok also has wet wipes, mouthwash, dental floss, aprons and hair ties ready for you. Such thoughtful touches, right?

What's on the Puradak menu?

Puradak says it uses only fresh domestic chicken and cooks it by a combined oven-and-fry method for tastier chicken, so I was looking forward to it even before the food arrived.

The Puradak menu has the chicken below, plus a variety of sides.

• Chicken: Mayo Pinyo, Thin Fried, Black Alio, Consommé-ing, Black Tomuamba, Iltpum Kkanpung, Pabulo, Sweet Yangnyeom, Cheese-in-Reason and more
• Sides: taco balls, gireum tteokbokki (pan-fried rice cakes), 3-color balls, big cheese sticks, shrimp skewers, coleslaw

The complimentary sides were snacks and pickled radish, and it was yellow danmuji radish rather than the usual chicken-mu radish, which felt a little different!

Is it okay to go with a child?

Puradak Daegu Igok has baby chairs and baby tableware, so it's a good restaurant to come to with a little one. Ttotto was happy with just a snack and had fun all through the meal >.<

Puradak half + Gochu half (bone-in) for ₩20,900: how did it taste?

Puradak half + Gochu half (bone-in) ₩20,900

The chicken looked so good at first sight that my mouth watered. I ordered half fried and half Gochu chicken, and it was a fantastic combination.

Fried: crispy skin and juicy meat

First, the Puradak fried chicken: the moment you bite in, the skin shatters with a crunch, and the meat is full of juice, mild and nutty.

The sauce that came with it was spicy too, so I never got tired of it, and the subtle flavor typical of fried chicken really comes through. It's a taste anyone can enjoy.

Gochu Mayo: jalapeño kick and creamy mayo

Gochu Mayo adds the sharp heat of jalapeño to a smooth mayo sauce. It tasted clean without being greasy, and I kept reaching for more.

Even people who can't handle spicy food should manage it, since the rich, creamy mayo is mixed in.

Side dish: spicy broth tteokbokki for ₩12,000

Spicy broth tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) ₩12,000

The spicy broth tteokbokki at Puradak Daegu Igok is topped with a heap of fried fish cake, and the rice cakes were chewy and well soaked in sauce. Totally my style.

There weren't any special toppings, but the spicy broth had real depth, and it paired well with the chicken, so I enjoyed it a lot.

The staff were friendly too, so we had a lovely time. If you're looking for good chicken in Seongseo, I recommend a nice round of chicken and beer at Puradak Daegu Igok~
