Compiled from 2 blog posts read in fullSources →
A dakhanmari (whole chicken hot pot) place on Mareunnae-ro 2-gil near Euljiro 3-ga. There are only two mains, dakhanmari (24,000 won for two) and dakbokkeumtang (26,000 won for two). The pot comes with a little rice cake, dumpling and potato, simmers at the table, and finishes with knife-cut noodles or hand-torn sujebi (2,000 won each). We read 2 posts, from September to October 2026, and both describe an actual visit.

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
- Staff do the cooking at the table. Both posts say so: one says the servers boiled everything and added the extras, the other that when the broth ran low, staff topped it up and added the noodles without being asked. Both posts also found the staff kind.
- Both posts found the place full and waited. One, on a weekday evening, says the wait was short because tables turned over quickly; the other got in within ten minutes. Neither says whether there is somewhere to wait.

These are raw counts, not percentages. Someone who did not mention something is not someone who disagreed.
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
We don't know which floor the restaurant is on — neither post mentions it.
We don't know whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in; nobody wrote about it.
We don't know whether the toilet is inside or separated by gender; nobody mentioned 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
- The two posts disagree on heat, one to one. One describes a spicy base with lots of minced garlic and medicinal herbs; the other a milky, rich broth with no strong seasoning, and says the dipping sauce was milder than hoped.
- No post describes walking from the station. One quotes '218 m from exit 9 of Euljiro 3-ga station', but that is copied listing information, so we don't rely on it.
- Neither post says clearly who they went with; one 'date spot' mention is only a hashtag.
- Both posts copy the opening hours as Mon–Sat 11:30–22:30, but the afternoon break differs: 15:30–17:00 in one, 15:00–17:00 in the other. One says the break applies on weekdays only; the other says Sundays are closed. Both are copied values.
- The phone number 02-2274-2986 appears only in one post's copied listing, and nobody says whether reservations are taken.
