The store sits in the basement level of the east wing of Hyundai Department Store Jungdong. It's in what used to be called the main building, now the east wing, and you spot the store right away as soon as you ride the escalator down to B1.

The store is open on three sides, so it's easy to spot as you walk by. The interior design also catches the eye, drawing you in naturally. I remember when Chili's Cheese Sticks were trending and people used to line up here — a bit late, but I finally made it in myself haha 😎

Inside the Angry Potato counter and its open kitchen

Angry Potato's signature character shows up all over the store. It's used both in the interior and on the merchandise — you can even spot it on the potato chip tin cans. Consistently emphasizing brand identity seems to be a deliberate marketing move to leave a strong impression on customers.

Personally, what I liked about Angry Potato was the open cooking area. The frying station is fully visible, so you can watch exactly how the potatoes and chicken are cooked.

It was nice to see the cooking area and fryers kept neat and clean. I also noticed they use separate oil for the first fry and the second fry.

Sauce refills: why chipotle and cream white won

One of the fun parts of Angry Potato was the sauce refill station. It's something the store highlights right up front — you can freely help yourself to a variety of sauces and enjoy them to your taste. With so many sauce options, it was fun figuring out which one to pair with the fries or the chicken.

Of all the sauces I tried that day, chipotle and cream white were especially good. Even with just one order of fries, switching sauces as you go gives you a completely different experience each time — that's the real fun of Angry Potato.

What comes in the Deep Crunch Chicken Box, and how chewy are the potatoes?

I ordered the Deep Crunch Chicken Box to try Angry Potato's signature menu all at once, plus the Chili's Cheese Sticks, potato chips, and ice cream. I especially wanted to try dipping fries in ice cream, so I added that to the order.

The Deep Crunch Chicken Box came with fries, boneless chicken drumstick pieces, chewy potatoes, ranch sauce, and mac and cheese. Getting to try so many things in a single order was the appeal.

The freshly fried potatoes were crispy and nicely salted, and the crunch chicken made from boneless drumstick meat had that crispy-outside, juicy-inside feel. And true to its name, the chewy potatoes were fun — crispy on the outside but chewy inside, giving them a clearly different character from regular fries. My wife's pick of the day was the chewy potatoes 👍

How do the Chili's Cheese Sticks taste?

Honestly, I didn't expect much from the Chili's Cheese Sticks. But the moment I bit into one and the cheese stretched out, it passed the visual test right away 👌 Seeing that stretchy texture from whole mozzarella made eating it even more fun.

The sauce tasted reminiscent of yangnyeom chicken sauce (Korean sweet-spicy sauce) — more sweet than spicy, which paired well with the cheese.

Is Angry Potato worth a stop in Bucheon Jungdong?

The biggest appeal of Angry Potato was less about any single dish and more about the fun of mixing and matching menu items with different sauces. Dipping fries in chipotle and cream white, pairing chicken with ranch or something else — there's real enjoyment in building your own combination.

If you're shopping or running errands in Sinjungdong, Bucheon, and looking for a quick bite, or you want to enjoy fries, chicken, and cheese sticks with a variety of sauces, Angry Potato is worth a try.
