Dalgom's puts its stainless-steel kitchen and clean frying oil front and centre, and the writer took away the three-person one-and-a-half-chicken set (24,000 won) in three flavours: sweet glaze, garlic soy glaze and cheese seasoning. The batter carried no off or burnt taste and tasted as clean as Japanese-style frying, and calling 10 minutes ahead is the way to get it freshly fried. ## Good to know - **Address**: Dalgom's, 56 Simmin-ro 143beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: Tue–Sun 10:00–21:00 - **Closed**: Every Monday - **Parking**: Available; Uijeongbu Jeil Market parking voucher provided - **What we ordered**: Three-person one-and-a-half-chicken set, 24,000 won (sweet glaze + garlic soy glaze + cheese seasoning) - **Comes with**: Shrimp chips and pickled radish - **Tip**: Call 10 minutes ahead to get the chicken freshly fried - **Price reference**: ₩24,000 ≈ $18 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Dalgom's three-flavor dakgangjeong packed to go](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-01-xt0lp-966.webp) ![Close-up of dakgangjeong at Dalgom's in Uijeongbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-02-rfo8i-1200.webp) ## What kind of place is Dalgom's in Uijeongbu Jeil Market? Dalgom's, a well-known fried chicken (dakgangjeong) spot in Uijeongbu, sits inside Jeil Market. For a fun little weekend date, we usually go for chicken or dakgangjeong, and here in Jeil Market there's a place with clean hygiene, a tidy interior, great design, and — most importantly — chicken fried in clean oil so the taste itself is on a different level. How could we not check it out? Completely against every stereotype of market-stall dakgangjeong, the place had a hip vibe like something out of Seongsu, a kitchen so clean it reminded me of a semiconductor factory, and an owner who greeted us with a big smile. It was genuinely delicious — let me walk you through it with photos! - 📍 56 Simmin-ro 143beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - ⏰ Tue–Sun 10:00–21:00 / Closed every Monday - 🅿️ Parking available (Uijeongbu Jeil Market parking voucher provided) ![Exterior of Dalgom's inside Uijeongbu Jeil Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-03-12mdt-966.webp) ## Parking and getting in: the Jeil Market rooftop lot Dalgom's sits inside Uijeongbu Jeil Market, so we could park comfortably in the market's rooftop parking lot. ![Smiley face mark at the shop entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-04-1xgc9-966.webp) A cute smiley face greeted us at the entrance. ![Sign outside showing takeout box sizes](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-05-6q6g5-966.webp) Outside, you could get a sense of the portion sizes just from the box-size guide. ![Menu board at Dalgom's showing the three-person one-and-a-half-chicken set](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-06-oht4q-966.webp) There are only two of us, but we're big eaters, so we decided to go for the three-person one-and-a-half-chicken set and headed in. ![Sign listing delivery apps and payment methods accepted](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-07-6dgua-966.webp) They accept a variety of local delivery apps and payment methods, so it seemed like you could eat here affordably. ![Neatly organized interior of Dalgom's](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-08-x1w7x-966.webp) ## Dalgom's kitchen: stainless steel and semiconductor-factory hygiene What impressed me most about Dalgom's was how clean and tidy the interior was — not a single stray thread anywhere, ![Neatly organized drink fridge](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-09-iin70-966.webp) and the perfectly organized drink fridge hinted at the owner's philosophy. ![Interior of the stainless-steel kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-10-ifkfi-966.webp) ![Spotlessly maintained cooking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-11-eyv1x-966.webp) I heard the shop opened two years ago, but the stainless-steel-filled kitchen looked as spotless as a newly opened restaurant — like stepping into a semiconductor factory. It was an interior that really inspired confidence. ![Horizontal menu sign listing dakgangjeong flavors](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-12-1bqek-966.webp) ## Ordering: the 24,000-won one-and-a-half-chicken set in three flavours Dalgom's had all sorts of dakgangjeong flavors, each with its own appeal, so it was hard to decide. After much deliberation, we picked three flavors. Today's order — the three-person one-and-a-half-chicken set, ₩24,000 (sweet chicken + garlic soy chicken + cheese seasoning chicken) ![Dakgangjeong being tossed in sauce in a cooking tool](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-13-1s94s-966.webp) As expected, they fried the chicken fresh right there with spotless cooking tools and tossed it in sauce on the spot — the sound and smell of freshly fried chicken being coated in sauce only built up my anticipation. ![Freshly fried dakgangjeong being coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-14-6hxb2-966.webp) ![Finished dakgangjeong topped with sesame seeds](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-15-mpdzc-966.webp) A sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds and the dakgangjeong was complete — it looked genuinely delicious. ![Close-up of the finished dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-16-wap3q-966.webp) We got it packed to go, ![Packed box of dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-17-1ddom-966.webp) and even received a Jeil Market parking voucher, so we could head home without any hassle. ![Dakgangjeong opened at home with shrimp chips and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-18-1jx51-966.webp) When we opened it up at home, it turned out to be a hearty package that even included shrimp chips and pickled radish. With cheese seasoning powder piled generously on top, the crispy-surfaced garlic soy chicken, and the sweet chicken with its glossy, shiny sauce — we were ready to eat! ![Crispy surface of the garlic soy chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-19-bd1ow-966.webp) ### Garlic soy glaze: as clean as Japanese-style fried food The garlic soy chicken had a salty flavor reminiscent of soy sauce chicken, crispy on the outside and just moist enough inside — really delicious. You could definitely tell the owner uses the clean oil they're so confident about; there was no off flavor or burnt taste at all, and the clean, tempura-like quality of the dakgangjeong was genuinely surprising. ![Sweet chicken with glossy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-20-ry9gd-966.webp) ### Sweet glaze: where the batter makes the difference The sweet chicken tasted similar to the usual sweet-seasoned dakgangjeong, but the frying made a huge difference. Without the off or burnt taste you often get from street-stall dakgangjeong, the batter itself was remarkably clean, which let the flavor of the sauce and the chicken really come through — a surprisingly novel taste. ![Rice cakes included with the dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-21-1s51g-966.webp) ![Close-up of the crispy-surfaced rice cake](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-22-3lqku-966.webp) ### The rice cakes: not just filler after all I personally don't love the rice cakes that come with dakgangjeong — I always assumed they were just there to bulk up the portion — but eating these fresh, while still hot, changed my mind. Chewy inside, crispy outside, with a soft bite... yes, it's a carb bomb, but like danmyeonja (glass noodles) in mala tang, it was worth every calorie and every gram of it for the taste alone! It tasted just like the freshly fried tteokkochi (rice cake skewers) slathered in sauce that I used to eat as a kid at the snack stand! ![Cheese seasoning chicken topped with seasoning powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-23-q1nkh-966.webp) ### Cheese seasoning chicken: the seasoning that stood out Last up, the cheese seasoning chicken! I'm not usually one to buy cheese-seasoned chicken from anywhere other than the franchise that originated the flavor, but I gave this one a try anyway — and wherever this seasoning is made, it tasted genuinely great. As I kept emphasizing, this chicken has a very clean, light flavor, which lets the cheese seasoning and the chicken meat really shine through, making the sauce quality even more important — and this seasoning really delivered a delicious cheese flavor! ![Table spread with all three dakgangjeong flavors together](https://img.superchart.com/images/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen-24-2rrgc-966.webp) ## Visit tip: call Dalgom's 10 minutes ahead If you call and reserve 10 minutes before arriving at Dalgom's, you can enjoy freshly fried dakgangjeong right away, so it's best to contact them ahead of time. We ate very well — thank you! ## Final verdict on Dalgom's in Uijeongbu I visited Dalgom's, a well-known dakgangjeong spot in Uijeongbu. With semiconductor-factory-level hygiene and chicken fried in clean oil, it had a remarkably clean flavor, almost like Japanese-style tempura. The dakgangjeong itself is very well made, and because the frying is so clean, your attention naturally shifts to the flavor of the chicken meat and the sauce — and the sauce flavor was excellent, so I ate very happily. (In other words: it doesn't just taste like corn syrup, and the cheese seasoning isn't some knockoff version.) I enjoyed it so much that I've decided this is where I'll buy dakgangjeong from now on whenever I want it. If you're looking for a great dakgangjeong spot in Uijeongbu, I'd genuinely recommend giving this place a visit. ## Where it is - Dalgom's (닭강정 달곰's) - 56 Simmin-ro 143beon-gil, Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 의정부시 시민로143번길 56 닭강정 달곰's - 37.7402359, 127.051127 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%95%EC%A0%95%20%EB%8B%AC%EA%B3%B0's/@37.7402359,127.051127,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@alley-stove-journal/uijeongbu-dakgangjeong-dalgom-clean-kitchen/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
