Mekken Chicken
Fried Chicken
Chimaek — fried chicken and beer — is one of Korea's most beloved combinations, especially for weekend evenings. Korean fried chicken is double-fried for an extra-crispy shell, then tossed in soy-garlic, sweet-spicy yangnyeom, or honey-butter glazes. Delivery culture made fried chicken a staple in every neighbourhood, and dedicated chicken restaurants serve it alongside cold draft beer, radish cubes, and pickled side dishes.
Nowon-gu
Nowon-gu in northeastern Seoul is a large residential district known for its community-focused dining culture. Local restaurants here serve the kinds of meals families eat daily — doenjang jjigae, guk-based soups, grilled fish — without the theatrics of trendier areas. It's a neighbourhood that rewards those looking for genuine everyday Korean food at prices that haven't been adjusted for tourists.
