korean food / seoul / A hidden restaurant in the quiet East Ichon-dong – 1104

Dongbuichon-dong is located in the middle of Seoul, where you can see the Han River. It's a neighborhood where many Japanese people live, and it's also called “Little Tokyo.” Thanks to this, it's easy to find small izakayas and Japanese home-cooked restaurants all over the town. Compared to other areas in Seoul, it has the advantage of not being expensive and quiet, and there are many old restaurants that cater to residents in the neighborhood. The National Museum of Korea is nearby, so it's a great place to go out with kids.

Since 1981, “Hangang Chicken” has been loved by the residents of Ichon-dong for its consistent chicken flavor. The characteristic of deep-frying chicken salted directly from the store is that the batter is not thick and is slightly intermittent. The fact that it provides moist meat such as legs and wings instead of the whole part of the chicken is also attractive. The fluffy french fries, which are made by cutting and deep-frying whole potatoes, are also good to go with beer.
