This is a rather not well know to tourist but I saw this place being featured in a YouTube video once and had to give it a try. The roast chicken here was sooo good. It was roasted well and the chicken still retained all the moisture. Even the breast meat was juicy. The chicken was filled with a mushroom filling and along with the roasted garlic, it was a nice accompaniment to the chicken itself. Another must order at this place is the crispy chicken pancake. This was literally fried chicken and this was even nicer than the roast chicken. Do give it a try.

First time here. It’s not far from line 2 train station. The chicken is a must try if you’re in Seoul. It is really unique as it is stuffed served with different sauce. There are sets that you can order to try as well so you could have a complete meal.

Delicious chicken, super moist and flavorful, 3 amazingly tasty contrasting dips for the meat. Free roasted barley tea. Bowl of noodles with seaweed and tofu went very nicely too. Highly recommended!

Food is awesome, even for the other dishes such as the tteokbokki apart from the golden chicken. Definitely must try the golden roast chicken. Kids said one of the best eating places from the Seoul trip. Thanks to the YouTube video from Zermatt Neo, hence the family was able to find out this authentic neighbourhood hidden gem. The decor of the place itself is of those Korean neighbourhood eatery or perhaps it is just like that. According to locals this is actually the area for beef bbq rather than chicken 😆 Easily reached from Myeongdong area through Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station. Just 4 stops away and alight at Sindang Station. Thereafter walk through the Central Seoul Market (picture attached), out of the market cross the road and you will reach the eatry about another 5 minutes or less of walking time. Do take time to explore this smaller Central Seoul market, much quieter and less crowded than the bigger Gwangjang Market. Didn't find any tourist at all in this market except for my family. Seems quite a number of good food to try also in this market based on the number of locals eating there. Will definitely visit again if in Seoul.

Place has the vibe and great music to go with food. Self order using QR code link to site with English as an option.

Possibly the best rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had. The flavours are insane and the chicken is fresh, juicy and tender! Service is fast but still attentive to detail. I love that they cut the chicken for you cos I wouldn’t know how to. I added the seaweed for the rice and I highly recommend it. The stuffed mushrooms is delicious. We don’t have anything like this in London so I am going to miss it so much!! Also suitable solo dining! I can’t wait to come back again when I’m next in Seoul. Thank you so much.

Wonderful Golden Garlic Aroma chicken! Meat so soft that it drops off the bones and the garlic compliments the texture of the crispy chicken skin. Without the need for sauces, the meat is flavorful and the stuffing being cooked for 3hrs just makes the bite into the chicken meat wonderful! Of cos, take it with beer. The bitterness and saltiness makes it a wonderful combination.

Very tasty and extremely tender roast chicken stuffed with special mushroom filling. Pancake is very crispy and comes with special spicy sauce. Noodle soup is delicious too. Atmosphere at the restaurant is welcoming and friendly. No hassle with food ordering as all speak good English! A very enjoyable meal. Well recommend for you to try it out if you are coming to Seoul.
