Compiled from 18 blog posts read in fullSources →
A branch of a rotisserie-chicken chain at the mouth of the Jonggak eating alley, occupying a building from the first to the fourth floor. The chicken comes on a sizzling plate over crisped sticky rice. It opens in the evening and is a beer place: nine of nineteen posts went with friends or coworkers. A whole bird was 19,900 won (original), 21,900 (galbi) and 24,900 (mushroom cream) on a menu copied in November 2025; a February 2026 post paid 22,900 for yangnyeom, a May 2026 post 24,900 for hot barbecue and 5,000 for a 500 ml draft. We read 19 posts from January 2025 to September 2026, and all 19 were actual visits.

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
- Free bar snacks arrive when you sit down. Four posts mention them, and what came varied: puffed rice crackers, pickled radish with popped corn, macaroni and corn snacks, pickled radish with spicy garlic scapes.
- Because the chicken is roasted rather than fried, tenderness comes up often: five posts called it moist or tender, four called it crisp. Several singled out the crisped rice underneath; one wished there had been more of it.
- Two posts ordered on a tabletop kiosk or tablet; one adds you pay at the counter on the way out. Two posts got a free soft drink for writing a receipt review.
- Nine posts went with friends, coworkers or former classmates, two with a work group or gathering, two as a couple. Several came as a second stop of the night, and one noted group tables.

There is no lot of its own. The one post that drove says you must use the public lot behind Bosingak, which has only about ten spaces and was full. 'No parking' in three posts and '500 won per 5 minutes' in one were copied from listing blocks.

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.
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 5 of 18 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 3 (of 18 posts read) |
| Toilet inside | 1 of 18 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 18 posts |
Floors open at different times. Five posts sat on or saw the second floor open, and three say they sat on the first. One post found only the first floor running early in the evening; another, over two visits, saw first-floor-only once and two floors once, and noted the first floor has just seven tables. One post was sent upstairs on a weekday evening because the first floor was full. No post saw the third or fourth floor in use; a March 2025 post only guessed three floors were operating.
No post says whether there is a step at the entrance, whether a wheelchair or stroller fits, or whether there is a lift. It is a multi-storey building and nobody described how you get upstairs. That means we don't know, not that there is none.
Only one post (March 2025) mentions the toilets: inside the building between the first and second floors, separate for men and women. No other post confirms it.
No one mentioned: Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. 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 reports waiting in line. One group of four walked straight in on a weekend evening; another post grabbed the last first-floor table at 6 p.m. on a weekday and, another day at 6:30, left because the first floor was full. The first floor can fill early, but nothing here describes a queue.
- One post describes the walk itself: very close to Jonggak Station, just across Cheonggyecheon. The '70 m / 76 m from exit 4' lines were copied from listings. Nobody wrote about getting there by bus.
- Opening hours appear in five posts, all copied from listings, and they disagree. Opening time was 4:30 p.m. in a March 2025 post and 4 p.m. from November 2025 on. Closing was 12:30 a.m. in three posts, 11:30 p.m. on Saturday in one, 11:50 p.m. in one. Three posts say it closes on Sundays. A March 2026 post was told it closed at 10:30; listings say each floor closes at a different time, so we can't tell which floor that was.
- Only one post gives a bill: 25,000 won for chicken and draft beer, without saying how many people. One post thought prices were fair. Most menu prices come from a board copied in November 2025; we don't know whether they have risen since.
- The phone number 0507-1339-5196 appears in two posts, copied from listings. One post says reservations are possible, but none says it actually booked.
- One February 2026 post pairs a copied info block with generic praise and a closing quotation, and names no specific dish or price. It discloses no sponsorship, but note that the only mention of friendly staff comes from this post. Claims about a 20-year history in Incheon are hearsay and we did not use them.
