Overall, solid dakhanmari. But I don’t know if it was worth the wait. I feel like the experience could have been just as comparable in all the other 닭한마리집s nearby with no line. Nevertheless, really enjoyed the broth, shared 1.5 chicken among 3 people (was way too much food haha). Overall a good experience. Ate during lunch time but was fortunate to skip the crowd; there was a queue after we ate finished. Place served authentic Korean chicken soup. Chicken was fresh, tender and smooth with various options to consume it (i.e. salt and pepper, soy sauce, vinegar etc). Staffs did not speak English but they tried their best to engage us. Lots of Korean came here to eat. single menu. season accdg to your preference and don't forget to add their kimchi.. once you have a bite you'll forget taking pictures! we had ours with noodles.. ready your additional rice once the broth becomes thick you'll crave for more!

Really good moist and tender whole chicken in a soup that can be suited to taste with different sauces and garlic.

A long name but basically it’s chicken soup boiled in potato, leak, and spring onions. This chicken soup restaurant was well known among tourists but somehow not as popular with locals. The whole chicken (90 days young I heard) was served and boiled in an unpretentious aluminium basin and the staff will come over to cut it for you when the chicken is hqlf cooked. Do not let the bland looks deceive you, the broth was packed with flavour balanced with the spring onion, leak and pepper to give a little kick. You can then end the meal with the remaining soup with rice or noodles. Overall a very good and hearty meal especially in cold weather but kinda pricey for the portion.
