Jongno Gyerim Dakdoritang Chungmuro Branch

Jongno Gyerim Dakdoritang Chungmuro Direct Branch specializes in dakdoritang, a popular Korean dish in which chicken is simmered with vegetables in a spicy, seasoned broth. Its defining feature is the generous amount of minced garlic added to the stew, giving the broth a pronounced garlic aroma and a robust, savory flavor. The restaurant follows the style associated with Gyerim Sikdang, which began in Jongno in 1965. Rather than being served as individual portions, dakdoritang is typically cooked and shared at the table, making it a natural choice for a meal with friends, family, or coworkers. The menu also offers add-ons such as noodles and rice cakes, allowing diners to customize the meal as the broth develops in flavor. Located in the Chungmuro area of central Seoul, the restaurant can be a convenient stop for visitors exploring nearby Myeongdong and other parts of the city's downtown. It is particularly suitable for travelers who want to try a hearty Korean chicken dish with a spicy broth rather than a dry stir-fried preparation.

Jongno Gyerim Dakdoritang Wangsimni Branch

Jongno Gyerim Dakdoritang is a Korean restaurant brand known for its signature garlic-rich dakdoritang, a spicy braised chicken stew cooked in a flavorful broth. The brand originated in Jongno, Seoul, and has become known for its distinctive approach to this much-loved Korean comfort food. Rather than serving a dry, heavily reduced sauce, the dish features a generous amount of garlic and a spicy broth that allows the chicken and vegetables to simmer together, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. The restaurant is a good option for visitors who want to experience a traditional Korean chicken dish with bold flavors. Dakdoritang is commonly shared around the table, making it suitable for meals with family, friends, or colleagues. Diners can enjoy the stew on its own or add ramen noodles to the broth for an extra filling finish. The Wangsimni branch has recently moved to a new location on Majang-ro in Seongdong-gu. As the relocation is very recent, some online information may still reflect the restaurant's previous location.
