Hello from Seoul!
If I have to pick only one Korean fried chicken to treat you, I will definitely come to this place!
Where to Eat
The name of this restaurant is 진미통닭(Jinmi Tongdak). This place is not in Seoul. It is located in Suwon, which is one hour away from Seoul. The detailed address is on the bottom of this page, so please go check it.
Suwon Chicken Street (수원 통닭 거리)
This place is located in Suwon Chicken Street, and what is unique here is that there are no franchised chicken restaurants at all such as Kyochon or BHC. Those franchised chicken places have some advantages. For example, you can eat the same quality of fried chicken wherever you are, but if they come here, I am 100% sure that they cannot survive here.
The fried chicken here is so unique and incredible! If you have any chance to come here, please try this. It will be your all-time favorite fried chicken ever 🙂
Wait Time
Today, we came here at noon on Thursday, so it looks quite peaceful. However, if you visit here on the weekend, you need to wait in a line for at least more than 20 minutes! However, since this place is so busy, the chickens cannot be kept in the fridge for long. It means you can have the freshest fried chicken here.
If you got the seats already, this 뻥튀기(puffed rice) is really important to fill in the time. You will love this! It is so addictive.
The Price
Today, we ordered fried chicken and it costs $13.50. It is $3 or $4 cheaper than franchised chicken places but the quantity is 1.5 times more!
Fried Chicken
I am a person who usually choose quantity if I have only two options like quality and quantity. However, whenever I am here, I am always impressed by both, quality and quantity.
Various Dipping Sauce
If you want to feel the real taste of this fried chicken, go with salt first! It is extremely crispy. You will feel another level of crispiness from this chicken!
If you enjoyed enough with salt, you should go with this traditional Korean mustard sauce! Personally, this is my favorite! However, don’t dip it too much even if it is so addictive. If you taste too much at once, you will not be able to breathe because it is quite strong!
Lastly, dip it into spicy sauce. Since this sauce is the same one that they use for spicy chicken, you don’t have to be sad about the fact you didn’t order spicy chicken. It is pleasantly spicy and sweet.
Today we ate the legendary Korean fried chicken. Even though it is a little bit away from Seoul, this restaurant is highly recommended. I can say it is my number one Korean fried chicken restaurant! FYI, I am not sponsored! 🙂
Alright, this is it for today and we will see you next time!
