Maxkana Chicken Hof
맥스카나치킨호프 · Korean Fried Chicken
ABOUT
Maxkana Chicken Hof is a small, old-style neighborhood chicken pub on Wangsimni-ro 4-gil, close to Ttukseom Station and the older residential-commercial side of Seongsu. Its menu is centered on familiar Korean chicken-shop staples rather than elaborate franchise-style flavors: fried chicken, half-and-half chicken, seasoned chicken, garlic-soy chicken and spicy seasoned chicken. The shop also serves simple drinking foods such as jjapagetti. The restaurant is particularly notable for its old-school atmosphere and relatively straightforward menu. Current listings show fried chicken at ₩20,000, half-and-half at ₩21,000, seasoned and garlic-soy chicken at ₩22,000, and spicy seasoned chicken at ₩23,000. It is open from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m., making it primarily an evening drinking spot.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
Recent reviews consistently describe the chicken as crispy and the overall experience as a comfortable old-fashioned chicken-and-beer meal. One visitor specifically mentioned the classic combination of fried chicken with cabbage salad dressed with mayonnaise and ketchup, while another highlighted the crispy chicken and friendly service. The restaurant's atmosphere is also part of its appeal. Reviews describe it as casual, inexpensive and slightly noisy in a comfortable way, making it suitable for drinks rather than a formal meal. The combination of fried chicken and jjapagetti was also singled out in one recent review, giving the restaurant a distinctly Korean neighborhood-hof character.

₩20,000–₩23,000 / 1–2 servings
For a first visit, half-and-half chicken is a practical choice because it lets you compare plain fried chicken with a seasoned version. The classic fried chicken is the better choice if you want to focus on the old-style chicken-shop flavor. This is a neighborhood drinking spot rather than a Seongsu destination restaurant. It is open late, but the restaurant is closed on Sundays according to the current listing.
