obang tongdak

The setting was uniquely old school. The golden rotisserie chicken was absolutely excellent — juicy, tender meat with flavorful mushroom stuffing and a roasted garlic touch that elevated the dish 🧄🍗. We got a bit too excited and over-ordered, so had to pack some leftovers (nothing goes to waste 😅). Also tried the spicy chicken — same golden chicken but with a tasty spicy sauce drizzle — and the chicken pancake, both delicious. The kimchi was decent, though nothing special. Overall, a fantastic and satisfying meal!

ordered two mains - Golden original and spicy pepper and some condiments. Basically regular roasted chicken (non wood fired) were dressed after roasting to provide the different flavours. Taste was so so, I had higher expectations given the high google rating. I would recommend Oak Tree Charcoal Grilled Chicken if you are wanting to taste how a wood fired glutinous rice stuffed chicken is done.

This place completely blew me away. The stuffed fried chicken was unlike anything I’ve ever had the skin came out perfectly crispy, and then you cut it open to find the inside packed with this rich, savory mushroom stuffing that paired beautifully with the juicy meat. It’s the kind of dish that makes you stop mid bite just to appreciate what’s going on. The sides were just as impressive. The seasoned rice had this deep, aromatic flavor, with just the right balance of texture and seasoning. And that cucumber side dish? Fresh, spicy, tangy, with a crunch from the toppings that kept me going back for more. Everything felt carefully thought out, no shortcuts. The vibe inside was fun and laid-back, and I loved the small details like the scissors at the table, which made sharing the chicken a breeze. Service was friendly and quick without ever feeling rushed. If you’re looking for something beyond the usual fried chicken, this spot delivers an experience that sticks with you. Already planning my next visit.

Unique and delicious roast chicken with mushroom stuffing. Roasted in garlic and you can choose a sauce as well. Good portion size. Even my local friend said she has not seen chicken done in this way before in Seoul and enjoyed it.

Obang Tongdak genuinely surprised me. Chicken is usually near the bottom of my meat rankings, but their roast chicken had me rethinking my whole list. Juicy, flavourful, and paired with three sauces that were absolutely unreal. The roasted garlic and crispy fried garlic were the perfect sidekicks, and the garlic rice sealed the deal. All round, an outstanding experience that turned a “maybe” into a “must return.”

wow flavours are exploding in our mouths, this hidden place has such delicious and yummy food, definitely a must visit! and so great with beer

This place is near our accommodation. So we decided to eat at Obang Tongdak. What we ordered: 📍Obong set 5⭐ - this set consists of their famous chicken and a lot of side dishes such as kimchi, garlic rice, kimchi cucumber, eggs and alot🤣 We were only 2pax and this order is bit for us. We should've ordered just the chicken but nonetheless we really enjoyed our meal. They also have a free beer promo for Naver review. However, I'm having difficulty signing up my naver account🙄. Suggestion: they have an aircondition area upstairs. Choose that option because there are some mosquito downstairs especially during the night.

Crispy, juicy, and full of flavor! 🍗 Seoul Obang Tongdak Golden Chicken nails it with perfectly fried chicken and tasty sauces — especially the soy garlic and sweet & spicy. Generous portions, friendly service, and great vibes. Definitely worth coming back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
