Jadam Chicken Seoul Hongdae
자담치킨 서울홍대점 · Korean Fried Chicken
ABOUT
Jadam Chicken Seoul Hongdae is a Korean fried-chicken restaurant serving both classic fried chicken and strongly seasoned varieties. Its best-known menu includes Mapsheulang Chicken, which combines a creamy mayonnaise-style sauce with Cheongyang chili peppers for a sweet, creamy and noticeably spicy flavor. The restaurant also offers Hot Fried Chicken, black-garlic-based Mapssoikick Chicken and seasoning-style Ppusheulang Chicken. The Hongdae branch is a relatively compact neighborhood shop on Wausan-ro, with both takeaway and some dine-in seating. It is particularly convenient for visitors staying around Hongdae who want to try Korean fried chicken without going to a large pub-style restaurant. Current local listings show the branch operating from around 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. and identify Wednesday as the regular closing day in some recent listings, although the current business listing shows daily opening hours, so checking before visiting is advisable.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
Recent reviews of the Hongdae branch repeatedly mention the crisp texture of the chicken and the friendliness of the owner and staff. One recent local review specifically describes the chicken as very crispy and another says the branch is a regular choice because of both the food and service. Mapsheulang is one of the more distinctive choices if you enjoy spicy food. Recent visitor reports describe the sauce as creamy and slightly sweet but with substantial heat from the Cheongyang chili peppers. The Hot Fried Chicken is also repeatedly mentioned by local visitors as a favorite, while Ppusheulang offers a different experience by coating boneless chicken with flavored seasoning powder.

If you enjoy spicy food, Mapsheulang is one of the more distinctive Jadam Chicken choices. Ask for the mild version if you are not used to Korean chili heat. For a more traditional experience, try Hot Fried Chicken instead. The branch is relatively small and is also heavily used for takeaway and delivery. If you want to eat inside, visiting outside the busiest evening period may be more comfortable. There is no dedicated parking lot, so walking or public transportation is easier.
