Korean
Hanminguk Dakhanmari
한민국 닭한마리 Hanminguk reads as the last three syllables of Daehanminguk, the Korean name for the Republic of Korea (no post explains the choice); dakhanmari means 'one whole chicken', a whole bird simmered in a pot at the table.

A dakhanmari (whole-chicken hot pot) restaurant tucked inside the chicken-pot alley between Jongno 5-ga and Dongdaemun stations. A pot for two is 30,000 won with abalone, ginseng, fish cake and rice cakes included, finished with knife-cut noodles for 2,000 won. Fourteen posts say the owner handed out Choco Pies, yogurt drinks and face masks on the way out. We read 30 posts from March to October 2026; 21 describe eating here, and we set aside 9 that were about other places.

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
- Order only the chicken pot and a vegetable pancake and fried ginseng still come out free; 17 posts say so. One writer tried to decline, thinking they hadn't ordered it, and another skipped ordering the pancake after a neighbouring table tipped them off.
- Staff tend the pot at the table; 11 posts mention it. Once it boils they cut the chicken with scissors and add meatballs and mushrooms, and one post says they were told to wait about ten minutes before eating. Diners mix their own dipping sauce from a recipe posted on the wall or table.
- Air conditioning comes up as the reason people picked this place over its neighbours; five posts mention it, all written between May and August. One writer turned away from another restaurant because it looked too hot inside.

One post drove: there is no lot of its own, so they used the public car park across the road. Lines like 'no parking' copied from listings were not counted.

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
4 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 2 of 21 posts |
|---|---|
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 21 posts read) |
| Toilet inside | 1 of 21 posts |
We don't know whether there is a step at the entrance, whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in, or whether there is a lift to the second floor. Nobody wrote about it, which is not the same as saying there isn't one.
Only one post says in its own words that the toilet is inside the restaurant; no one says whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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
- Waits vary. Three posts walked straight in, one waited about 20 minutes on a full Friday evening after work, and one found almost no wait but wished there were numbered tickets. Several came here because the famous place down the alley had a long line.
- Opinions on space differ: three posts call the tables well spaced, one calls it a small shop. Two posts say there is a second floor and one was seated on the ground floor.
- Four posts put it about five minutes on foot from Jongno 5-ga or Dongdaemun station; one gives directions from Dongdaemun exit 9, turning left into the alley by the Deo Ssanghwa sign. Nobody describes getting there by bus.
- Eight posts give the same 30,000 won for the chicken pot, with no sign of change between March and October; four say it is cheaper or fairer than other places in the alley. No post totals a full bill, though two people with a pot and noodles works out to 32,000 won.
- Opening hours: ten posts say daily 10:30 to 23:00 with last orders at 22:00, two give a 10:00 opening. Most of these are copied listing blocks, and no post mentions a closing day.
- Phone numbers differ: three posts give 0507-1344-2751, and one each give 02-2272-2751 and 02-2275-9666. Bookings appear only in one copied listing block; no one says they reserved.
- The claim that NCT WISH ate here comes from the shop's own sign by the door, so we did not count it.
- Three posts (March, May and June 2026) repeat the same search phrases and two share an identical hashtag sequence, which suggests commissioned copy; none discloses sponsorship, so we counted them as written.
