Gongneung Dakhanmari
공릉닭한마리 Gongneung is a neighborhood name in Seoul, and dakhanmari means 'one whole chicken' — a whole chicken simmered in broth at the table.
Compiled from 2 blog posts read in fullSources →
A dakhanmari house in the chicken alley at Jongno 5-ga, right next door to Jinokhwa Halmae Wonjo Dakhanmari. A whole chicken is 33,000 won, and there are also one-and-a-half (49,000 won) and two-chicken pots for bigger groups. We read 2 posts, both published on October 13, 2026, and both say they paid their own way. Both came here because the famous place next door was too crowded.

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
- One post says the pot arrived right after ordering and the chicken was cut at the table. The same post notes ginseng came in the pot, which it had not seen at other places.
- One post from a party of three who shared the one-and-a-half chicken pot (49,000 won) said it was clearly generous. The same post mentions a sauce ratio posted by the house (chili paste, garlic, mustard, soy sauce, plus cabbage and chives) — that is the shop's own guidance, passed along.

Large portions
We read all 2 in full. The most common claims are “Large portions” (1) and “Had to wait” (1).
What they liked
What they struggled with
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
No post describes which floor the dining room is on; the '1F' in the address is the registered listing.
Nobody mentions a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. That does not mean there is none — we simply don't know.
No post says where the restroom is or whether it is separated by gender.
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
- Only one post covers waiting: the room was full, and the line started right after the group behind them was seated. No post gives a wait time.
- Both posts list 10:30-22:30, but both copied it from a map listing. Nobody mentions closing days, a break, or last orders.
- Prices come from two posts on a single day in October 2026. Nobody gives the price of the noodle add-on or the two-chicken pot.
- Both posts copy the phone number 02-2269-9969, but neither says whether reservations are taken.
- One post places the alley near Dongdaemun and Jongno 5-ga stations, but nobody describes the walk from a station.
- One post was a party of three and the other a party of two, but neither says who they came with.
