A family of four arrived right at the 4pm opening, took the outdoor tented seats, and ordered spicy-half nurungji chicken, golbaengi (whelk) muchim with somyeon noodles, and stone-plate corn cheese with beer, only to be stunned by the portion sizes. With three certified draft beer quality masters on staff, the beer at Jangjakgun poured clean and crisp with no bitterness, and the family still packed one more chicken to take home. ## Good to know - **Location**: Next to Starbucks by Exit 3 of Dandae-ogeori Station (2F, 202-203, 340 Sanseong-daero, Jungwon-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 16:30–23:00 / Sat–Sun 16:00–23:00, last order 22:00 - **Service info**: Group seating, takeout, reservations, and parking available - **Outdoor tented seats**: Dog-friendly - **Payment**: Local currency accepted (mobile and paper vouchers) - **Ordered**: Spicy-half nurungji chicken, golbaengi muchim with somyeon, stone-plate corn cheese, beer, cola *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Dandae-ogeori is a place we hadn't visited in a while, and while running errands nearby with family we couldn't leave without stopping at a good restaurant — so here's my review of Jangjakgun Main Branch!! 🤗 ## Where is Jangjakgun Main Branch, and what are its hours? - Next to Starbucks by Exit 3 of Dandae-ogeori Station - Mon–Fri 16:30–23:00 / last order 22:00, Sat–Sun 16:00–23:00 / last order 22:00 - Group seating, takeout, reservations, and parking available - Outdoor tented seats are dog-friendly - Local currency accepted (mobile and paper vouchers) ![Exterior of Jangjakgun Main Branch near Dandae-ogeori Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-01-bp7ns-900.webp) ![Entrance of Jangjakgun Main Branch on the main road](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-02-1jyuw-900.webp) We arrived right at the 4pm opening time.

Side note, we ended up packing home one more chicken after finishing everything ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's just that good 💛 ![Outdoor tented seating at Jangjakgun Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-06-gaqjm-900.webp) ## Arriving for the 4pm opening and taking the outdoor tented seats Even though we went right at the 4pm opening, there were already several other guests besides us. We checked in with our reservation and sat down in the outdoor tented seats. If it's this busy even at the opening rush, just how good is this place…! ![Outdoor table set up before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-07-1fso3-900.webp) ✔️ Spicy-half nurungji chicken ✔️ Golbaengi muchim with somyeon ✔️ Stone-plate corn cheese ✔️ Beer ✔️ Cola — order complete!! The side dishes were set out quickly. The trio of pickled radish, yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), and cabbage salad! ![Basic side dishes: pickled radish, yeolmu kimchi, and cabbage salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-08-1rf5c-900.webp) The cabbage salad was genuinely amazing ㅠㅠㅠ The shredded cabbage was fresh, and that dressing sauce especially was the kicker — I could've kept eating it endlessly, it was so good! ![Cabbage salad with dressing sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-09-bwn8m-m-900.webp) Extra side dishes, sauces, aprons, and utensils were all set up at the self-serve bar, so it was easy to grab whatever we needed. Cabbage…🫶🏻 I love you ![Self-serve bar stocked with extra side dishes and utensils](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-10-pefog-900.webp) ## Three certified draft beer quality masters at Jangjakgun The draft beer at Jangjakgun Main Branch had zero bitterness, a clean crisp finish that went down so easily we drank it all ㅋㅋㅋ The beer and drinks came out first! Wait, this is so refreshing and delicious?!? ![Draft beer and cola at Jangjakgun Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-11-14yh5-900.webp) Honestly we came to Jangjakgun because we'd heard the beer was great! This was the first time I learned there's actually a certification called a draft beer quality control master. Three staff members here have earned that certification — beer you can trust!! 🍻 ![Sign about the draft beer quality control master certification](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-12-1hk0v-900.webp) Plus it's a Cloud quality-control certified store 👍🏻👍🏻 A truly excellent beer really is on another level. ![Sign marking the store as a Cloud quality-control certified store](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-13-12cxn-900.webp) ## Spicy-half nurungji chicken: the staff even explain the eating order Chatting away over beer, the spicy-half nurungji chicken arrived. ![Spicy-half nurungji chicken served on a stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-14-1fmsd-900.webp) Look at those colors ✨✨ A whole chicken on a bed of nurungji (crispy scorched rice), half spicy sauce and half mozzarella cheese — that's insane ㅠㅠ ![Nurungji chicken with spicy sauce and mozzarella cheese, half and half](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-15-13grf-1200.webp) The sizzling sound and smell off the stone plate were incredible — I think I took fifty photos just of that. A staff member kindly explained how to eat the nurungji chicken 👍🏻 - Eat the chicken breast first while it's still hot, so it stays tender. - Gently scrape the nurungji underneath as you go so it doesn't burn and stays nutty and delicious. ![Crispy nurungji layered underneath the whole chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-16-hkc0t-900.webp) Insane — so much crispy nurungji packed underneath..!!! Before it could burn, we lifted up the chicken to run a rescue mission on the nurungji. All to prevent the tragedy of even a single grain getting scorched beyond eating 🔥 ![Lifting the chicken up to scrape out the nurungji underneath](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-17-1aehn-900.webp) Then we started with the chicken breast, loaded up with cheese and sauce. So good…🤤🤤 Chicken breast is supposed to be dry, so how is this so tender, moist, and soft? I guess wood-fire really does make a difference. ![A piece of chicken breast topped with cheese and sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-18-8kprg-900.webp) Worked through the drumsticks and wings next, pairing each bite with beer. The sauce clung perfectly — moderately spicy without being overly sweet, an amazing match with beer!! ![Drumsticks and wings coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-19-14sm4-900.webp) Wait, is this really just one chicken..? It was insanely delicious and the portion was so huge and generous that all four of us in the family got flustered eating it 😳😳😳😳 ![A whole chicken generous enough to feed a family of four](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-20-937p0-m-900.webp) ## Golbaengi muchim with somyeon and stone-plate corn cheese Golbaengi muchim (spicy marinated whelk) with somyeon noodles!! Whelk, cucumber, and cabbage all came piled on in that addictive sauce ㅠㅠ👍🏻 Even the somyeon came in three big generous portions…🙊🙊 And do I even need to say anything about the golbaengi muchim? The sauce was spicy — we kept saying 'so spicy, so spicy' while mixing in the somyeon and scraping the bowl clean ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I've been to those Jongno pubs famous for golbaengi muchim too, but Jangjakgun's wins!! ![Golbaengi muchim with three servings of somyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-21-1c0w1-900.webp) Nicely timed, the corn cheese arrived next to cool down the heat. Sizzling mozzarella cheese — how could that not be good 🫶🏻 ![Sizzling stone-plate corn cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-22-ks19e-900.webp) Such a perfect combo, it was insane 🫶🏻🫶🏻 ![Table with chicken, corn cheese, and draft beer together](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-23-6ujl3-900.webp) ![The Jangjakgun Main Branch table near the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken/jangjakkkun-danadae-ogeori-draft-beer-chicken-24-h5f8c-900.webp) ## Is Jangjakgun worth it for dinner near Dandae-ogeori and Jungang-dong?
