One box of mild and one of soy-sauce dakgangjeong at 9,000 won each plus a canned cola came to 20,000 won, and the boxes were wrapped in aluminium foil so the chicken was still warm at home. With bone-in fried chicken at 9,900 won and old-style whole chicken at 7,000 won, market prices are the biggest draw at Mr. Kim's Chicken. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 44 Ttukseom-ro 49-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-22:00 - **Parking**: Public parking lot for Jayang Traditional Market available - **Getting there**: About 628m from Exit 4, Guui Station (Line 2) - an 8-10 minute walk - **Dakgangjeong, mild**: 9,000 won (small/medium size) - **Dakgangjeong, soy sauce**: 9,000 won (small/medium size) - **Bone-in fried chicken**: 9,900 won per whole chicken - **Old-style whole fried chicken**: 7,000 won - **Canned cola**: 2,000 won - **Extra sauce**: 500 won each - **Dakgangjeong flavors**: Mild / medium spicy / spicy / soy sauce / plain fried - **Sizes**: Medium, extra, large - **Price reference**: ₩20,000 ≈ $14.5 · ₩9,900 ≈ $7.1 · ₩7,000 ≈ $5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* I'd been craving crispy, sweet dakgangjeong (Korean fried chicken bites) lately, so I searched for good spots near my neighborhood and heard there was a seriously great-value place in Jayang Market near Guui Station — so I went! ![Takeout photo of dakgangjeong from Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-01-1noer-966.webp) Turns out this place has 15 years of history and is already famous as one of Seoul's three great family-run dakgangjeong shops. The generous market spirit, the prices, the taste — all of it left me super satisfied. Here's my takeout review of Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch. ## Where is Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch, and when is it open? Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch is on the 1st floor at 44 Ttukseom-ro 49-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, inside Jayang Traditional Market, open daily from 11:00 to 22:00. It's about 628m from Exit 4 of Guui Station on Line 2, an 8–10 minute walk, and if you're driving, you can use the public parking lot dedicated to Jayang Traditional Market. - 📍 Address: 44 Ttukseom-ro 49-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 1st floor - 🕖 Hours: Daily 11:00 – 22:00 - 🅿️ Parking: Public parking lot for Jayang Traditional Market available - 🚌 Transit: About 628m from Guui Station Exit 4 (Line 2), 8–10 min walk ## Finding the shopfront beside Gates 4-5 of Jayang Traditional Market Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch sits near Gates 4 and 5 inside Jayang Traditional Market. Maybe because it was a hot summer day, there was a cool mist spraying at the entrance haha. ![Storefront view of Mr. Kim's Chicken in Jayang Traditional Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-02-1ah2h-966.webp) The sign right by the market entrance catches your eye, with prices right there on the banner. A whole chicken for under 10,000 won, is that even real?! The savory smell of fried chicken and sweet sauce drifts from far away, so you can find it without even checking a map app. By the time I got there, a few people were already waiting for takeout. ![Mr. Kim's Chicken sign with a price banner hanging](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-03-1ubze-966.webp) Through the shop window: freshly fried, golden old-style whole chicken, drumsticks, wings, and drums. ![Freshly fried old-style whole chicken, drumsticks and wings seen through the window](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-04-m5w14-966.webp) Piles of boneless dakgangjeong were visible too, and the visual alone got my appetite going. ## Menu and prices at Mr. Kim's Chicken, from 7,000 won whole chicken up Looking closely at the menu board, I was shocked. Given today's chicken prices, these numbers feel unreal. Bone-in fried chicken is ₩9,900 a bird, old-style whole chicken is ₩7,000, and dakgangjeong comes in a range of sauces (mild / medium spicy / spicy / soy sauce / plain fried), in medium, large, and extra-large sizes. There are small portions great for eating alone or with one other person, and bigger sizes for groups. I debated which flavor to get and ended up going with the two most classic, popular options. ![Menu board and price list at Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-05-12i73-966.webp) They also sell a variety of sauces — ₩500 each! ![Sauces displayed for sale at ₩500 each](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-06-z6geo-966.webp) ![Sign showing the types of sauces sold at the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-07-qsmmv-966.webp) ## Origin labels and how ordering and packing work The origin label was posted clearly on the storefront — whole chicken and drumsticks are domestic, while wings and boneless cuts come from Thailand and Brazil. Seeing them honestly disclose origins built a lot of trust. ![Origin label posted on the front of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-08-1hv5l-1200.webp) ![Dakgangjeong being tossed in sauce during preparation](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-09-gx82d-966.webp) ![Boneless dakgangjeong being packed into a box](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-10-13m42-966.webp) As soon as I ordered, the owner tossed the hot, freshly fried boneless chicken with soy sauce and seasoned sauce and packed it firmly into a box. Watching it get tossed up close, that sweet-salty smell was insane. ![Dakgangjeong takeout box wrapped in aluminum foil](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-11-1cgi6-966.webp) The box was carefully wrapped in aluminum foil, which kept it warm the whole way home. ## Mild and soy-sauce dakgangjeong boxes: 20,000 won in total ![Two boxes of mild and soy-sauce dakgangjeong opened at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild-12-nebkj-966.webp) Today's takeout order! - Dakgangjeong, mild (small/medium size) ₩9,000 - Dakgangjeong, soy sauce (small/medium size) ₩9,000 - Canned Coca-Cola ₩2,000 (Total happiness: ₩20,000!) ## Where it is - Mr. Kim's Chicken Jayang Market Branch (김씨치킨 자양시장점) - 44 Ttukseom-ro 49-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 광진구 뚝섬로49길 44 1층 - 37.5339739, 127.0799689 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B9%80%EC%94%A8%EC%B9%98%ED%82%A8%20%EC%9E%90%EC%96%91%EC%8B%9C%EC%9E%A5%EC%A0%90/@37.5339739,127.0799689,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@itaewon-corner-plate/kimssi-chicken-jayang-market-soy-mild/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
