Jonggak bar for large parties: chicken neck stir-fry, Ari Gyegok
Ari Gyegok Jonggak is a traditional Korean chicken anju bar on Youth Street near Jonggak Station in Jongno, Seoul, filling two whole floors that work well for large parties. Arriving at 6:30pm, the writer found the first floor already full and ordered the original chicken hot pot — billed as the original crescent-moon baeksuk — for 22,900 won, cheese potato pancake for 18,900 won, and stir-fried chicken neck with kkwarigochu peppers for 11,900 won. With tender chicken thigh and tenderloin in a clean, refreshing broth, Ari Gyegok Jonggak is a strong pick for a group night out in Jonggak.
