Compiled from 7 blog posts read in fullSources →
A two-storey fried-chicken-and-beer place on Yanghwa-ro 7-gil near Hapjeong Station. Plain fried chicken is 23,000 won bone-in or boneless, sauced boneless versions around 25,000, and posts describe big screens on each floor showing games. Since about July 2026 it also runs a 10,000-won prepaid Korean lunch buffet. We read 12 posts from November 2024 to September 2026; 7 describe actually eating there. Three share word-for-word sentences and read as commissioned copy, so we left them out of the counts.

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
- People write about it as a place to watch games. Three visit posts mention the big screens; one describes every table full and neighbouring tables cheering along with the broadcast. Nobody pitched it as quiet; one post said it suits groups more than a quiet date.
- Two posts call the portions large: a group of four had leftovers from the octopus-and-chicken set, and someone who took two chickens home said one would have been plenty for two and ate them over three days.

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

It runs over two floors. Five visit posts mention the upstairs; the 2024 post put capacity at about 70. The lunch-buffet visitor found the ground floor full around noon and the second floor nearly full too. A party of eight who came for a second round said the two floors felt roomy and well air-conditioned.
No one says 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. That means unknown, not absent.
One post mentions in passing that the corridor to the toilet was tidy; whether it is inside the shop or shared with the building, and whether it is split by gender, is unknown.
No one mentioned: 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 12 posts we gathered, 5 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
- Prices have gone up: draft beer was 5,000 won in November 2024 and 6,000 won in mid-2026 posts. The boneless rose chicken is listed at 27,000 by two posts and 28,000 by two others. No visit post gives a per-person total, so we can't say what a meal costs per head.
- Opening hours vary by post. Posts from November 2024 and August 2026 give 5pm to 1am on weekdays with a 4pm weekend opening; three posts we treat as commissioned copy say 5pm to 1am daily (midnight on Sundays). The lunch buffet runs 10:30 to 14:00. Nobody mentions a closing day.
- The lunch buffet is new as of around July 2026; earlier posts cover only the evening chicken business. Only one post describes eating the buffet, and it mentions tables sometimes left uncleared during the opening rush.
- Many posts say it is close to Hapjeong Station exit 2, but mostly in copied info blocks; only one visit post says first-hand that it was easy to find from the subway. Nothing about buses.
- No post reports waiting. The lunch-buffet visitor found it full around noon but only guessed that turnover keeps waits short; nobody says anything about evening waits.
- The three posts that say who they came with were all groups (a band after-party, a work dinner of four, eight friends on a second round). No one wrote about going alone, as a pair or with kids.
- Four posts give the same phone number, 02-335-7723. Nobody says whether reservations are taken.
