We had the half melon and half-order boneless fried chicken set with draft beer, and the crisp chicken, sweet chilled melon, and clean-tasting beer were a satisfying match. Verdict: an easy choice for dinner drinks or a casual second round. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 17:30–05:30 the following day - **Parking**: No on-site parking - **Order**: Half melon + half-order boneless fried chicken set, draft beer *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* Today, I’m introducing a spot in Seomyeon that is easy to drop by when you’re craving chicken. Prices have gone up so much lately that even going out for drinks in Seomyeon can feel a little burdensome, right? But I can never give up crispy, salty whole chicken with a cold beer! The place I visited today was Yetnal Tongdak & Tang Seomyeon Branch (옛날통닭앤탕 서면점), a Seomyeon drinking spot known among those in the know for dakdoritang (spicy braised chicken stew), with both good value and great taste. Along with beautifully golden fried chicken, its spicy dakdoritang was spot-on, making it a really satisfying place both for a first round with dinner and for a light second stop. If you’re looking for a cold draft-beer spot for a second round in Jeonpo-dong, pay attention! ![Chicken and draft beer at Yetnal Tongdak & Tang in Seomyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-01-12k1i-900.webp) They fry up Korean Harim chicken just right! I really dislike chicken with lots of fatty bits, so I was happy this wasn’t like that. ## Hours and parking It is open Monday through Sunday from 17:30 until 05:30 the following day, and there is no on-site parking. ## Inside the restaurant and little things to enjoy ![Interior of Yetnal Tongdak & Tang Seomyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-02-16o9g-900.webp) It is famous for fried and boneless chicken, so it is perfect for anyone looking for old-style fried chicken in Bujeon-dong. It is also ideal if you are looking for a Seomyeon bar with a spicy soupy dish! ![Boneless chicken and soupy dish menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-03-1qgvx-900.webp) ![Seating at Yetnal Tongdak & Tang](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-04-h5sfu-900.webp) Other tables were having the tteoksuni set, too! Aprons are available, so you can put one on and eat comfortably. ![Aprons available at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-05-1m146-900.webp) This is a place that insists on using only Korean Harim chicken!!! I’m not a fan of Brazilian chicken, so I can eat here with confidence. ![Notice about Korean Harim chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-06-1vy38-900.webp) Pens are provided so you can leave fun little notes and doodles on memo paper along one wall. ## The half melon and boneless fried chicken set we ordered ![Menu at Yetnal Tongdak & Tang Seomyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-07-euhko-900.webp) We ordered the half melon + half-order boneless fried chicken set. We added cold draft beer, too! ![Half melon and boneless fried chicken set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-08-5ahil-900.webp) At Yetnal Tongdak & Tang in Bujeon-dong, they serve fruit as a drinking snack like this. The melon was such a pretty pale green from the color alone—it looked refreshing and crisp. ![Melon served as a fruit drinking snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-09-sj6k6-900.webp) ![Chilled melon fruit snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-10-qfjeh-900.webp) They set out the melon before the chicken arrived, so it was perfect for sweetly rehydrating while we waited. Cheers to melon! ![Drinks with melon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-11-ho1kk-899.webp) The basic snacks are al-saeu chips (shrimp-flavored crackers) and chicken radish pickles. ![Al-saeu chips and chicken radish pickles as basic snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-12-qln8o-900.webp) ![Basic snacks and cabbage salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-13-xpky5-900.webp) They also show baseball games on TV. The cabbage salad was refreshing, too. The melon quality was more than adequate—it was really good. It was cold and sweet, very juicy, and incredibly fresh. Such great quality, right? ![Sweet, fresh melon snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-14-vk3py-900.webp) Just as we were finishing the melon, the chicken finally came out!! ![Golden fried boneless chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-15-15251-1200.webp) ## Crispy boneless chicken and draft beer The golden boneless chicken arrived! It was crispy and warm, and the bite-size pieces were so delicious. There was absolutely no stale oil smell; it tasted fresh. Naturally, I got excited thinking about chicken and beer. ![Generous half portion of boneless chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-16-1cydk-900.webp) We only ordered a half portion, but it was surprisingly generous! It comes with seasoned sauce and salt as well. The sauce is the typical sweet-and-spicy seasoned fried chicken sauce. ![Seasoned sauce and boneless chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-17-a2hqe-900.webp) It is so good when you dip it like this. Since they insist on using only 100% Korean Harim chicken, I could eat without worrying about the chicken quality. From spicy dakdoritang to crispy chicken and refreshing fruit snacks, this place has everything for a perfect second round. We ordered a half portion and it was just right; if you have a big appetite, I recommend ordering a whole chicken! The old-style fried chicken in Bujeon-dong is so delicious that you will clear it in no time. ![Boneless chicken and cold draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer-18-1ases-900.webp) The beer was cold and generous, so I highly recommend it as a Jeonpo-dong draft-beer bar for a second round. We had Asahi beer at our first stop, but I personally prefer draft beer. It has less bitterness at the finish and tastes cold and clean. Other tables seemed to order a lot of dakdoritang. It is a great Seomyeon dakdoritang spot that even foreign visitors often stop by to seek out a Korean flavor. ## Recommended for - Anyone looking for dakdoritang in Seomyeon - Anyone seeking an easygoing Jeonpo-dong bar for draft beer as a second round - Chicken fans wanting old-style fried chicken in Bujeon-dong and fresh chicken - Anyone looking for a comfortable local favorite for a friends’ gathering or date ## Where it is - Yetnal Tongdak & Tang Seomyeon Branch (옛날통닭앤탕 서면점) (옛날통닭앤탕 서면점) - 73-1 Jungang-daero 680beonga-gil, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 부산진구 중앙대로680번가길 73-1 1층) - 부산광역시 부산진구 중앙대로680번가길 73-1 1층 - 35.1567589, 129.0609293 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%9B%EB%82%A0%ED%86%B5%EB%8B%AD%EC%95%A4%ED%83%95%20%EC%84%9C%EB%A9%B4%EC%A0%90/@35.1567589,129.0609293,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cork-evening/seomyeon-chicken-melon-draftbeer/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
