On a family outing to Hwaseong Haenggung with her child, the writer ordered the corn cheese gratin seasoned oak-fired chicken with 2 glasses of draft beer, and the bird, aged 12 hours in herbal broth and turned over an oak fire for 2 hours, stayed moist even in the breast. Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak works well as a family course, with a walk through Hwaseong Haenggung right after the meal. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 28 Haenggung-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Ordered**: Corn cheese gratin seasoned oak-fired chicken, 2 glasses of draft beer - **Served with**: 2 sauces, salt, chive kimchi, radish kimchi - **Cooking**: Aged 12 hours in herbal broth, then rotated about 2 hours in an oak firewood oven - **Parking**: Hwaseong Haenggung on-street public parking lot, about a 3-minute walk - **Getting there**: About 10 minutes by taxi from Suwon Station, or bus to Paldalmun stop, then a short walk *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Corn cheese gratin seasoned oak-fired chicken at Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-01-4scda-1200.webp) I went out with my kid for a walk around Hwaseong Haenggung in Suwon and got completely won over by the deep oak wood smell drifting from a famous Suwon-haenggung restaurant nearby, so I ended up dropping in^^ Here's my review of this old-style whole roast chicken (tongdak) restaurant in Suwon, where the whole family had a lovely meal thanks to the moist chicken roasted with care over oak firewood and the savory corn cheese that came with it! ![Chicken table setting at an old-style chicken restaurant in Haenggung-dong, Suwon](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-02-gxknc-900.webp) ## Where is Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak, and where do you park? For our family outing, we headed to Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak at 28 Haenggung-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do^^ It sits right in the heart of Haenggung-dong, so it's an easy walk from Hwaseong Haenggung and the pretty café street nearby~ ![Exterior of Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak at 28 Haenggung-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-03-goqum-900.webp) If you're taking public transit, it's about a 10-minute taxi ride from Suwon Station, or you can take a bus to the Paldalmun stop and walk the rest of the way^^ If you're driving, the Hwaseong Haenggung on-street public parking lot is about a 3-minute walk from the restaurant, so parking is easy! ![Street around the entrance of the chicken restaurant in a Haenggung-dong alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-04-zvwsn-900.webp) With the Suwon Ipark Museum of Art, the Haenggung-dong craft workshop street, and Namsi Market all nearby, this is a great spot for a date or a family meal in Suwon^^ ![Street scene in Haenggung-dong near Hwaseong Haenggung](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-05-1epxg-900.webp) ## 12 hours of herbal aging and 2 hours over an oak fire The moment I stepped inside, the gentle smoky scent of burning oak firewood hit my nose and got me really excited^^ Instead of relying on strong artificial seasoning, this place clearly puts a lot of care into bringing out the clean, deep natural flavor of the ingredients~ ![Oak firewood and the oven at the restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-06-16lxl-900.webp) The carefully aged chicken slowly rotates inside the oak firewood oven for about 2 hours~ The strong heat and deep smoky aroma of the oak crisp up the skin while sealing in the juices of the meat inside, showing exactly why this place is known as a top old-style chicken spot in Suwon! ![Chicken rotating and roasting over the oak firewood oven](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-07-1qo5l-900.webp) There were chicken drawings all over the restaurant, which I found pretty funny haha ![Chicken drawings decorating the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-08-7obb2-900.webp) ![Interior wall of the chicken restaurant hung with chicken drawings](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-09-1pkgc-900.webp) ![Table and interior view of Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-10-1sm4u-900.webp) ## Corn cheese gratin oak-fired chicken with 2 draft beers After happily agonizing over the menu, we went with the corn cheese gratin seasoned oak-fired chicken, which is great for eating with kids, along with two cold glasses of draft beer^^ ![Menu board at Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-11-g9mzv-900.webp) They brought out two types of sauce, salt, chive kimchi, and radish kimchi. ![Basic side dishes: two sauces, salt, chive kimchi, and radish kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-12-1vb3n-900.webp) Taking a sip of the freshly poured, refreshingly crisp draft beer first, all my built-up fatigue melted away! ![Two freshly poured glasses of draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-13-5w0w9-900.webp) ![Table with draft beer glasses and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-14-11vvu-900.webp) When the main dish arrived at the table shortly after, it looked so gorgeous and appetizing that we couldn't help but gasp! Golden, melted corn cheese on a hot griddle wrapped around the seasoned oak-fired chicken like a cozy blanket^^ ![Seasoned oak-fired chicken covered in corn cheese on a hot griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-15-n8j5r-900.webp) ## How moist was the chicken, and what about the sticky rice inside? Since the chicken was slowly roasted for 2 hours over oak firewood, the meat came off easily with just a light touch of the chopsticks^^ Even the breast meat wasn't dry at all — it practically melted in the mouth, with really outstanding juicy flavor! Wrapping the crispy, savory skin and moist meat in the sweet corn cheese and taking a bite, my mouth filled with rich savoriness and smoky aroma^^ ![Oak-fired chicken meat wrapped in corn cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-16-svyfa-900.webp) Inside the chicken there was a generous amount of soft, nutty sticky rice, which was perfect to eat alongside the meat! With a little sauce drizzled on, eating the rice together with the moist meat made for a satisfying full meal, and I was really glad I stopped by this old-style Suwon chicken restaurant^^ ![Sticky rice found inside the whole chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-17-1cwdz-900.webp) ## A walk through Hwaseong Haenggung after dinner: final verdict After finishing our meal, we walked over to nearby Hwaseong Haenggung and enjoyed a quiet stroll^^ Taking in the serene palace scenery, walking around Paldalmun, digesting our meal, and taking lots of pretty photos with my kid made it a perfect outing course~ ![Hwaseong Haenggung scenery after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-18-4e94q-900.webp) The careful 12-hour aging, the deep flavor of the oak firewood roasting, and the harmony of savory corn cheese with the chewy sticky rice — every element of this place really won me over! It's not overpowering at all, leaves your stomach feeling comfortable, and left a clean, lingering aftertaste I'll remember for a long time^^ ![Full table spread with the corn cheese chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-19-16vgz-900.webp) ![Close-up of the seasoned oak-fired chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-20-10amf-900.webp) If you're planning an outing around Hwaseong Haenggung in Suwon, I really recommend stopping by this restaurant, which delivers on taste, atmosphere, and a satisfying menu all at once! ![A plate of pulled chicken meat and sticky rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-21-oc6yn-900.webp) ![Final table setting at Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course-22-2dhc2-900.webp) ## Where it is - Haenggung Jangjak Hanbang Tongdak (행궁장작한방통닭) - 28 Haenggung-ro, 1F, Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 수원시 팔달구 행궁로 28 1층 - 37.2801017, 127.0147345 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%96%89%EA%B6%81%EC%9E%A5%EC%9E%91%ED%95%9C%EB%B0%A9%ED%86%B5%EB%8B%AD/@37.2801017,127.0147345,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@homeward-bowl-log/suwon-haenggung-jangjak-hanbang-tongdak-walk-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
