Fried chicken
Yangpyeong 38 Dakgangjeong
양평38닭강정 양평시장점 A market-alley shop in Yangpyeong selling one thing — boneless chicken thigh fried in rice flour — plain, mild-sweet, hot, or a box split between two, almost always to take away.
Data as of · Published ·
Yangpyeong 38 Dakgangjeong is a fried-chicken shop in an alley of Yangpyeong's Mulmageun market, right next to the Burger King. It sells one thing — boneless chicken thigh, fried — and the only choice is the coating: plain, mild sweet, hot, or a box split between two of them. Whole and half portions both exist, but a half cannot be split. The batter is made with Korean rice flour, which is why the sentence that recurs more than any other in these posts is that it stays crisp after it has gone cold. Noon to 10:30pm, opening an hour earlier at weekends. There are four tables, but almost everyone takes the box away. The 38 in the name comes from the market's fair days, the 3rd and the 8th of each month, according to one writer. More than ten posts mention the signed photographs on the wall from a Korean TV food programme. The posts we read run from March to September 2026.

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.
These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. 
Place — check hours
What sets it apart
- The batter is rice flour, and that is why it survives the drive home. Several writers note the Korean rice flour, and many say it makes the coating thin and nutty. The single most repeated sentence about this shop is that it was still crisp once cold — and some put a clock on it: thirty minutes in the car, two hours at home, five hours, and one box that was not opened until late that night at a campsite. One writer thinks it improves, the sauce sinking in and going chewy as it cools. Three point out that gangjeong is meant to be eaten cooled, and one was told the shop lets it cool before it hands it over.
- Thigh meat only. A great many writers repeat the shop's claim of 100% Korean fresh-killed chicken thigh, and the second most common sentence here, after the one about crispness, is that there was not a dry piece in the box. Two specify chilled rather than frozen, and three say what pleased them is that boneless thigh is usually imported and frozen. Two note the pieces are big enough to feel heavy on a skewer; one found them too soft to cut cleanly with scissors. Several say there was no off smell — which is a statement about their own noses, not about the meat; nobody checked where it came from.
- The hot one is not a bluff. Six writers measure it against a brand of instant noodle and land anywhere from Shin Ramyun to Buldak. What they agree on is the shape of it: the first few pieces are fine and the heat builds. One went looking for milk afterwards; one broke out in a sweat across the nose. The mild version runs the other way entirely — one writer says a seven-year-old can eat it. Which is why almost everyone buys the split box: three describe reaching for a plain or mild piece to put the fire out. One notes there is no capsaicin extract in the sauce, so it does not leave your mouth coated.
- This is a shop you phone first. More than ten writers say that ordering twenty minutes before you arrive means walking straight out with the box; others put it at fifteen to twenty, or ten to fifteen. Two report giving the last four digits of their phone number and being handed the bag inside a minute. Skip the call and you wait: one notes the frying only starts when you order and takes about twenty minutes, and six describe people standing outside. The number is 031-774-5008. Several mention delivery; one writer decided the fee was not worth it and drove over instead.
- You can sit down, and almost nobody does. Three writers count four tables of four; several confirm eating in is allowed, and two note that beer and soju are sold, so you could make an afternoon of it after the market. Yet of the twenty-nine people we read, exactly one ate here — and that first plate, straight out of the fryer, is why they have bought their chicken here ever since. Everyone else carried the box off to a car, a house, a guesthouse, a campsite, a park. One writer, there in the early afternoon, found nobody eating in. And one states flatly that a takeaway place like this has no seats at all — which contradicts the others, so we record both rather than pick.
- There is a stamp card, and several writers are charmed that such a thing still exists. One stamp per bird: four say five stamps get you a soft drink, ten get half off, twenty get a free box (one specifies a 1.25-litre bottle). One notes the stamps only work on takeaway orders. A regular thought they had more than ten and could only find four; another photographed the sign telling customers not to feel awkward about redeeming them, and one saw the card marked valid until the day the shop closes for good. Four writers list the local currencies it accepts, and one was glad to finally spend the Yangpyeong vouchers handed out with a garden ticket.
- A famous Korean comedian ate here, and the shop says so louder than it says its own name. More than ten writers mention the signed photographs and the still from the TV programme by the door, and several admit that was enough to stop them deliberating. One is simply sorry to have arrived after her. Two note that alongside the autographs hang certificates for donations to local charities. Under the awning a banner claims the shop does plain fried chicken as well as the sauced kind it is known for — four writers say that banner is why they ordered the plain.

There is no car park of its own. Seven writers state flatly that you cannot park, and everyone uses one of the public lots nearby. That said, six say you can pull up outside for a takeaway — one notes there is room for exactly one car, and another, having phoned ahead, collected the box without getting out and called it a chicken drive-through. There are several lots and the writers do not agree on the tariffs: three say the first hour is free, one says ₩600 for the first thirty minutes, and one copies out a table where the first hour is free and the next half hour is ₩600. Two warn the lots fill up on market days, the 3rd and 8th of the month; one found parking free because of the market. One adds that the alley by the lot is one-way, so overshoot a space and you go round again.

Getting there
Getting inside
Nobody writes about floors or stairs. The registered address ends in "1층", the ground floor, and the posts describe walking in straight off the market's main alley: two place it next to the Burger King, one says you see it as soon as you cross the bridge into the market, and two say the banner makes it hard to miss. Still, not one writer says whether you step up or down to get in. One post's summary gives the address as a different street number from the check-in at the top of the same post — do not navigate by that line.
We do not know whether you can get in with a wheelchair or a pushchair. None of the twenty-nine posts mentions a step at the door, a ramp or a level threshold. More than ten writers brought a child, so somebody almost certainly arrived with a pushchair, but not one of them wrote about it. The shop sits inside a market alley, and one writer describes coming down a flight of steps from the car park to reach that alley — but that is the walk there, not the doorway. This is silence, not a no.
Not a word about the toilet. None of the twenty-nine writers mentions one, which makes sense when nearly all of them walked out with a box. If you mean to sit down with a beer, we cannot tell you whether there is a toilet inside or whether you use the market's.
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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 30 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- The writers do not agree on how much you get. Six describe a box packed tight enough that two people ate it over two days, one of them claiming it would not go down however much they ate. One says the opposite: there was not much in it, and the box looked far too big for what it held. We leave the disagreement standing. There is a whole box and a half box, and a split order is packed differently again, so we cannot tell whether they saw the same thing and judged it differently or were simply handed different amounts.
- Three writers disclose that the post was paid for — two with a sponsorship hashtag at the end, one in the caption of a video clip mid-post. All three record what they ate and what it cost, so all three are counted. One post is not counted: machine-written, with the same block of four search phrases dropped verbatim between its paragraphs five times over, and no mention of what was ordered or what it cost. One more thing worth knowing: another post pastes the shop's own advertising copy into its body, opening in the shop's voice. That writer does describe their own meal, so we counted them, but the first half of that post is the shop talking, not a customer.
