Hongdae jjimdak for two on a weekend open run: Ongdarae Jjimdak

Ongdarae Jjimdak is a jjimdak (braised soy chicken) restaurant on Yanghwa-ro, a short walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station in Mapo, Seoul. Arriving right at opening time on a weekend, two diners ordered the boneless cheese jjimdak at 38,000 won and added crispy rice and a bowl of rice for 42,000 won in total, finishing only about half the portion. With two private rooms and a self-serve dessert corner, Ongdarae Jjimdak works just as well for a Hongdae group dinner as for a family meal.
