A jjimdak (soy-braised chicken) house in the jjimdak alley inside Andong's old market, at Beonyeong-gil 19. A whole chicken is 32,000 won and one and a half is 48,000 won; all three posts ordered the Andong jjimdak, noting that you choose the spice level and it comes on a bed of glass noodles. We read 3 posts, dated June 16 to September 24, 2026, all from people who actually went.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- Two posts said the portion is large. One pair shared a single chicken and still took leftovers home; another wondered if they'd really ordered just one. One post noticed three women at the next table couldn't finish a whole chicken.
- Two posts described the seating. One counted ten four-person tables, eight with chairs and two floor-style, with pairs pushed together for groups; the other said the room isn't large but a family group of a dozen or so was seated there.
- One post, visiting at 6:40 pm on a Saturday, got the last free table and saw a queue form behind them; it is the only post that mentions waiting. Two posts said the chicken arrived 10 and 10-15 minutes after ordering.

One post drove and parked at the public lot near the alley, paying under 1,000 won. The rates quoted at the top of another post (500 won for the first hour, 9,000 won max) are copied info, not experience.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
Getting inside
No post described the floor from experience; '1st floor' appears only in addresses and copied info blocks.
Nobody mentioned a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. That means we don't know, not that there's a problem.
No post described the restroom first-hand. One post's info block says it is outside the shop, but that is copied info, so we don't rely on it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- No post explained how to get there by bus or train. One drove; the other two only said they were staying near the old market or traveling.
- Who people went with doesn't add up to a pattern: one went with a friend, one came by car, and one didn't say.
- Two posts give the hours as 9 am to 9 pm (one adds last order at 8:30 pm), but both are copied info blocks. Nobody mentioned a closing day.
- All three posts agree on the price: 32,000 won for a whole chicken. One noted every shop in the alley charges the same, and felt 32,000 won for two was a bit steep until the portion arrived. A meal for two runs about 32,000 won plus drinks.
- The phone number 054-854-3838 comes from one post's copied info. Nobody said whether they take reservations, though one post arranged a parcel delivery in person and got the tracking number by text.
