The order here was a medium shrimp and chicken gangjeong in mild flavor (23,000 won) plus sweet potato cheese sticks (3,000 won), and the owner held up the medium and large boxes side by side so the portions could be compared before ordering. Even after cooling on the way home, the chicken stayed chewy and the fresh-fruit sauce kept its savory-sweet depth, making Mannyeon Dakgangjeong a solid late-night takeout pick. ## Good to know - **Location**: 27 Taejo-ro, 1st floor, Wansan-gu, Jeonju, Jeonbuk (near Gyeonggijeon Shrine and Jeondong Cathedral) - **Dakgangjeong (fried chicken bites)**: Mild, spicy, soy or plain fried — large 28,000 won / medium 18,000 won; half-and-half large 30,000 won - **Shrimp + chicken gangjeong**: Mild, spicy, soy or plain fried — large 33,000 won / medium 23,000 won; half-and-half large 35,000 won - **Shrimp gangjeong**: 20,000 won - **Sides**: Sotteok-sotteok sausage and rice-cake skewer 3,000 won / sweet potato cheese sticks (7 pc) 3,000 won / fried jjondeugi chewy snack 4,000 won / filled cheese balls (5 pc) 3,000 won - **Ordered**: Shrimp + chicken gangjeong, mild, medium size; sweet potato cheese sticks - **Price reference**: ₩28,000 ≈ $21 · ₩18,000 ≈ $13.5 · ₩33,000 ≈ $24.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![Packaged shrimp dakgangjeong from Mannyeon Dakgangjeong Hanok Village Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size-01-1tydo-1200.webp) Today I'm introducing a must-visit spot for a Jeonju trip: Mannyeon Dakgangjeong Hanok Village Direct Store. ## Where is Mannyeon Dakgangjeong Hanok Village Direct Store?

But here, the sauce had real depth, and the chewy texture was still alive. ![Plate of shrimp dakgangjeong coated in fresh fruit sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size-14-pt7jg-966.webp) Because they use fresh fruit for the sauce, you can really taste that natural, deep savory umami. ![A small, cute-shaped piece of gangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size-15-v5wua-966.webp) *So cute (?)* ### Sweet potato cheese sticks, 3,000 won for 7 pieces The sweet potato cheese sticks (7pc, ₩3,000) we ordered alongside were also a hit!! ![Sweet potato cheese sticks ordered alongside](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size-16-1h1n3-966.webp) The sweet potato mousse and salty cheese hit at the same time — a textbook example of sweet-and-salty done right. ![Cross-section of a sweet potato cheese stick cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size-17-th65f-966.webp) ![Table spread with dakgangjeong and sweet potato cheese sticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size-18-7a0z9-966.webp) Great to snack on as a side between bites of dakgangjeong. ## Who Mannyeon Dakgangjeong suits best - Street-food travelers — for those looking for an easy snack to eat while wandering the Hanok Village - Anyone who wants dakgangjeong that's still good cold — great for taking back to your lodging or eating the next day without it getting soggy - Anyone after a good-value late-night snack — a generous portion at a reasonable price, easy to share with friends or family - Anyone who loves spicy-sweet flavors — for fans of the addictive fruit-sauce-based seasoning If you're looking for a tasty snack or takeout late-night bite in Jeonju Hanok Village, definitely stop by Mannyeon Dakgangjeong — crispy and moist even after it cools down. ## Where it is - Mannyeon Dakgangjeong Hanok Village Direct Store (만년닭강정 한옥마을직영점) - 27 Taejo-ro, 1st floor, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeonbuk-teukbyeoljachido, South Korea - 전북특별자치도 전주시 완산구 태조로 27 1층 만년닭강정 - 35.8143956, 127.1518445 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%8C%EB%85%84%EB%8B%AD%EA%B0%95%EC%A0%95%20%ED%95%9C%EC%98%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@35.8143956,127.1518445,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungjang-noon-walks/jeonju-hanok-village-mannyeon-dakgangjeong-medium-size/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
