# Late-night chicken in Hongdae, Seoul: Volcano boneless at Goobne - By Jiwoo Ham (https://superchart.com/en/@garwol-side-noodle/) - Written Sep 22, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Mapo, Seoul - Partially sponsored: Some items were provided; I paid for the rest. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@garwol-side-noodle/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@garwol-side-noodle/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/index.md) ## In short Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road is a two-floor chicken pub on Jandari-ro in the Hongdae area of Mapo, Seoul. On a Thursday in September 2026 the writer walked in at 8:50pm with no wait and ordered the chicken plus two Budweiser drafts set (28,900 won), swapped to Volcano boneless chicken, with garlic butter wedge potatoes (7,000 won) on the side. The smoky sauce and tender thigh meat went well with the beer, and the wide-spaced tables make Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road an easy choice for a group dinner or a second round. ## Good to know - **Address**: 17 Jandari-ro 2-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul (basement and 1st floor) - **Hours**: Sun–Thu 11:00–02:00 / Fri–Sat 11:00–03:00 - **Parking**: No parking; takeout and delivery available - **Visited**: Thursday, September 2026, 8:50pm, no wait - **Chicken + 2 Budweiser drafts set**: 28,900 won (Volcano +2,000 won, boneless +4,000 won) - **Garlic butter wedge potatoes**: 7,000 won - **Budweiser draft**: 4,900 won - **Soju**: 5,900 won - **Happy hour**: All cocktails 3,900 won before 10pm - **Ordering**: QR code ordering at the table; English menu posted outside - **Good to know**: Self-serve water, utensils and pickled radish; large screen on the 2nd floor; separate men's and women's restrooms *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* * This review includes a partial self-funded visit. ![Exterior of Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-01-byl27-1200.webp) Looking for somewhere in Hongdae to chat comfortably with friends over chicken and beer, I ended up at Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road.

When we went, it was just playing music videos on a loop haha. ![Large 2nd-floor screen playing music videos](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-13-1ao8h-m-900.webp) There was also a self-serve bar where you could grab water, utensils, and pickled radish easily. ![Self-serve bar with water, utensils, and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-14-g875f-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Goobne Red Road and what it cost Here's what we ordered: - ✔ Chicken + 2 Budweiser draft set menu (₩28,900) — Volcano swap (₩2,000) / boneless swap (₩4,000) - ✔ Garlic butter wedge potatoes (₩7,000) - ✔ Budweiser draft (₩4,900) x2 - ✔ Soju (₩5,900) Since a lot of foreign customers visit Hongdae, there was even an English menu posted outside! ![English menu posted outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-15-1t5rt-900.webp) We ordered via the QR code at the table, which was handy since we each got to check the menu on our own phones instead of sharing one. If you go before 10pm, happy hour means all cocktails are 3,900 won — don't miss it if that's your thing~ ![Order screen viewed via table QR code](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-16-1esew-900.webp) ![Menu showing happy hour cocktail info](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-17-hx2bt-900.webp) ## Garlic butter wedge potatoes and Budweiser draft The fries and draft beer came out first haha. ![Garlic butter wedge potatoes with Budweiser draft](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-18-157j1-900.webp) ![Two glasses of draft beer on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-19-1pno5-900.webp) I love Budweiser, and draft for 4,900 won?! There was no way I wasn't ordering it,,^^ We were already pleasantly tipsy from the first round, so we sipped our beers slowly lol. Garlic butter wedge potatoes — if you love beer-and-fries combos, you have to order these. Perfect match with the beer! The wedges weren't soggy at all, crispy outside and soft inside, genuinely delicious>< ![Picking up a wedge potato](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-20-10ra2-900.webp) Lol my friends got so excited after one bite, so good that I told them to stop taking photos and eat faster lol. But wait.. is that soju I see too..? Unreal.. ## How does Goobne's Volcano boneless chicken taste? Just look at how tender this Volcano boneless chicken looks, ugh... ![A full serving of Volcano boneless chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-21-1ghtn-900.webp) We ordered all thigh meat, so the fork slid right in with barely a poke,, ![Fork sinking easily into Volcano boneless chicken thigh](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-22-1egh2-900.webp) Drool-worthy. The sauce has incredible depth of flavor and just the right amount of spice. There's a slight charcoal aroma too, and I ate it up happily>< ![Table with Volcano boneless chicken, wedge potatoes, and beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-23-1wk4u-900.webp) ![Table shot from a second-round chicken night with friends](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless/hongdae-late-night-chicken-volcano-boneless-24-xucsh-900.webp) ## Who is Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road best for? - Anyone looking for a spot in Hongdae for a group dinner or second round - Anyone who wants chicken that isn't fried, for a healthier option - Anyone who wants to enjoy a variety of side dishes and drinks We stopped in trying to figure out what to eat for our second round, and since the chicken is grilled instead of fried, it felt a little less guilty, haha. Going boneless made it so easy to eat too! There aren't many chicken places in Hongdae with this much space, so it's perfect for group dinners or gatherings. They're open until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, so it's great for anyone craving a late-night snack. It'd been a while since I had Volcano chicken, and eating it again made me wonder why I'd forgotten about it for so long. I can still smell that charcoal aroma right now,,🐷 The combo with the garlic butter wedge potatoes was absolute gold!
