Compiled from 9 blog posts read in fullSources →
A neighbourhood chicken-and-beer pub in the Biz Well officetel on Ttukseom-ro 3-gil, Seongsu-dong, where the owner fries old-style bone-in chicken single-handed. One fried bird is 14,000 won, one and a half 20,000 won (one post says 19,000), a draft beer 5,000 won; three posts also ordered the whelk salad (20,000 won). In good weather tables go out on the pavement. We read 11 posts from February 2025 to October 2026; 9 describe eating there. A takeout-at-home post and a one-line diary mention were not counted.

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
- Four posts mention outdoor seating in front of the shop; one writer asked the owner and set up a table himself. Others found no outdoor tables that day because of rain (July 2026) or cold (March 2026).
- Portions split four to three. The four who found them small were talking about the bird: four pieces to a chicken, a small chicken, not enough for four people. Of the three who found them generous, two meant the whelk salad and one said one and a half birds fed two grown men. One post advises ordering one and a half from the start, because you cannot add half a bird later.
- Three posts call it quiet, tucked among officetels; one says it can get noisy with locals. Three say the room is small, with two-seat tables pushed together; a party of five joined tables.
- Two posts got free peanuts. Pickled radish, salt, sauce and cabbage slaw also come with the chicken, and one post says you refill the slaw yourself.
2 more
- The owner works alone: one post waited a while for food, another warns extra orders can be slow. Two posts found him curt at first, two call him kind, and one says he brought a basket for bags.
- Two posts saw photos of the owner with celebrities on the wall. The claim that golfer Pak Se-ri is a regular appears often but is hearsay, and we did not count it.

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
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 9 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | yes 0 · no 1 (of 9 posts read) |
Only one post mentions the floor: ground level of the Biz Well officetel, with one entrance on the street side and one inside.
No post says whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or pushchair can get in. That means we don't know, not that there is none.
Only one post (December 2025) says the toilet is outside the shop. Nobody mentions whether it is gender-separated or how big it is.
No one mentioned: Second floor · 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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 11 posts we gathered, 2 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
- One post puts it 6 minutes' walk from Seoul Forest Station exit 1, another 10 minutes, and a third says it is close to both Ttukseom and Seongsu stations. The 6-minute writer still called access a bit awkward.
- No post describes queueing; a 5 pm visit in February 2025 found almost no wait. One neighbour sometimes found it full and walked away.
- Company splits evenly: three posts went with friends, three in groups of three to five. None went alone or with children.
- Opening hours are unknown — no post gives them, one just guesses evenings. Two posts (February 2025 and March 2026) agree it closes on the second and fourth Sunday of each month.
- Two posts price one and a half fried birds at 20,000 won (February and December 2025), one at 19,000 won (May 2025). The dates don't line up as a rise or a cut, so we don't treat it as a change. Two posts call it good value; none call it expensive.
- Three posts give the phone number, 02-464-7982. Nobody says whether it takes reservations; one suggests calling ahead for a larger group.
