South Korean fried chicken specialist officially opens its doors within CBRE Investment Management destination Angel Central, alongside hot-dog concept Myungrang Hotdog.

CBRE Investment Management has announced the official launch of Pelicana, the South Korean Fried Chicken brand, and the first UK site for their specialty corn dog concept, Myungrang Hotdog, at Angel Central, Islington.

Pelicana, the leading Korean fried chicken brand, has officially opened its second and largest restaurant in the UK within the newly refurbished Angel Central, occupying a 2,172 sq ft unit above Monsoon, seating 80 covers. The space boasts a cross platform presence offering both takeaway and dine-in options from a range of traditional Korean dishes including vegetarian and vegan options, and Pelicana’s signature flavours, ranging from ‘classic crispy’ to ‘volcano’.

Joining Pelicana for its UK debut, Myungrang Hotdog, has opened a 1,600 sq ft dedicated space on Angel Central’s ground level, with both takeaway and dine-in options. The brand-new concept boasts Korea’s famous corn dogs, with Whole Mozza Hotdog and Potato Hotdog top of the brand’s menu.

Commenting on the openings, Ciara Daffy, Asset Manager at CBRE Investment Management, said: “The launch of these exciting new brands, Pelicana and Myungrang Hotdog, adds variety and increases the appeal to our dining offer at Angel Central. These unique concepts offer new tastes, flavours and cultures, and we are looking forward to both restaurants becoming firm favourites as part of the culinary line-up at Angel Central.”

Mr Kim, owner of Pelicana and Myungrang Hotdog, added: “Opening our largest Pelicana site within the UK and at Angel Central is an exciting move for us as a brand. This launch, in addition to Myungrang Hotdog finally opening its doors to a UK audience for the first time, is something to celebrate. We look forward to welcoming consumers from London and further afield, to experience our unique Korean culinary offerings, and delivering something distinctive for the Islington community as we expand our brands further.”

These new openings add to the growing dining and leisure offer at Angel Central and will join Birdies, the crazy golf experience and street food eatery, set to launch this summer. All news this year coincides with Angel Central’s 20th anniversary celebrations, marking a significant milestone for the destination with further exciting concepts elevating the offering throughout 2022.
