Two friends ordered the large medium-spicy dakgangjeong for 13,000 won and 4 drumsticks for 6,000 won, then walked the food over to nearby Gwangnaru Han River Park. The medium-spicy heat was stronger than expected, the rice cakes mixed in were just as good, and the plump, crisp-outside drumsticks are worth adding to every order. ## Good to know - **Location**: 21 Olympic-ro 98-gil, 1F Unit 105, Gangdong-gu, Seoul (Amsa Market entrance) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 22:00 - **Parking**: No store parking; Amsa 1-dong Public Parking Lot No. 2 (street), 250 won per 5 minutes - **Dakgangjeong, large, medium-spicy**: 13,000 won - **4 chicken drumsticks**: 6,000 won - **Sizes**: Medium / Large / Extra-large - **Flavors**: Mild / Medium-spicy / Spicy - **Other menu items**: Fried chicken, drumsticks, wings, drumettes - **Payment**: Onnuri gift certificates accepted - **Cooking time**: About 5 minutes *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* - Gimssi Chicken, an Amsa-dong favorite known as one of Seoul's top three dakgangjeong shops - For parking near Amsa Market, Amsa 1-dong Public Parking Lot No.2 is recommended - Even the medium-spicy dakgangjeong turned out to be pretty hot Lately I've really been into markets haha >< So I went to check out Amsa Market and ended up impulse-buying dakgangjeong hehe. There's no dedicated parking for Amsa Market, so I used the street public parking lot instead. ## Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch: location, hours and parking Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch is at 21 Olympic-ro 98-gil, 1F 105, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, open daily from 11:00 to 22:00. There's no parking at the store, so I'd recommend the Amsa Market street public parking lot. Amsa 1-dong Public Parking Lot No.2 near Amsa Market was ₩250 per 5 minutes, which felt pretty cheap haha. It was a Sunday, and there were open spots so I parked right away — there was an attendant managing the lot too. You just pay on your way out haha. Plenty of space available. This was my first time at Amsa General Market. It's not huge, but it was packed with people. ![Busy street scene at Amsa General Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-01-10skq-m-900.webp) ![Shops inside Amsa Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-02-nyoxe-900.webp) Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch, an Amsa-dong favorite, sits right at the market entrance so it was super easy to find.

True to its Amsa-dong reputation, those drumsticks looked insane,, how could you not buy them looking that good ㅠ.ㅠ > Dakgangjeong large medium-spicy ₩13,000 / 4 drumsticks ₩6,000 They said it would take about 5 minutes, and after a quick wander around time flew by. My dakgangjeong and drumstick chicken>< ## Carrying the Amsa Market takeout to Gwangnaru Han River Park I carried the dakgangjeong and drumsticks from Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch over to Gwangnaru Han River Park. Amsa Market is nice and close to Gwangnaru Han River Park~ ![Boxed Gimssi Chicken takeout carried to Gwangnaru Han River Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-15-rql49-900.webp) ![Dakgangjeong takeout set on the grass at the river park](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-16-14pon-900.webp) The weather was so nice that day, so we headed to the Han River hehe. I think everyone should take out from Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch, the Amsa-dong favorite, and eat it at the river park. They even threw in some salt, which was such a nice touch. It's delicious plain, but dipping the drumstick in salt makes it even better, just so you know (❁´◡`❁)💛 ![Large dakgangjeong and drumsticks opened up at the river park](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-17-1gcku-1200.webp) ![Salt provided alongside the drumstick chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-18-1fqe6-900.webp) Gimssi Chicken looked so, so good,, and the portion was surprisingly generous?! It was actually a lot for two people to finish. ![Close-up of a plump Gimssi Chicken drumstick](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-19-1v8nz-900.webp) ### Why the 4 drumsticks for 6,000 won are worth adding Gimssi Chicken's drumsticks are crispy outside, juicy inside, with really plump meat — even one alone was quite satisfying. The drumsticks looked insane,, and tasted insane too ㅠㅠ I'm ordering them again next time><. If you visit Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch, the Amsa-dong favorite, definitely try the drumsticks!! ![Tub of sauced medium-spicy dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-20-wjc2o-900.webp) ![Close-up of dakgangjeong with rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-21-13bhn-900.webp) ### How spicy is the medium-spicy dakgangjeong? The moment we'd been waiting for~~ dakgangjeong. I ordered medium-spicy, and it was surprisingly hot. I'm not really into spicy dakgangjeong, so next time I'll go for mild ><. That said, the medium-spicy was still really tasty. It came with rice cakes too, and those rice cakes were amazing haha. Even the rice cakes are good?!🥹🫶🏻🫶🏻 ![Close-up of ketchup-tinged dakgangjeong sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-22-1wl68-m-900.webp) ![A piece of dakgangjeong picked up by hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-23-11j91-900.webp) There was a hint of ketchup flavor in the dakgangjeong sauce. It had that tasty tteokbokki-sauce vibe, which is completely my style~~ Ah, I want to eat it again already ><. Take a look at these sturdy drumsticks before you go,, ![Sturdy drumsticks laid out alongside dakgangjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic/amsa-market-dakgangjeong-hangang-picnic-24-1ade4-900.webp) ## Does Gimssi Chicken taste good the next day? The large medium-spicy dakgangjeong from Gimssi Chicken Amsa Market Branch, the Amsa-dong favorite, was too much for two people so we had leftovers >< I ate it for lunch the next day and it was still delicious haha. Gimssi Chicken's dakgangjeong is amazing even after a day,, amazing even cold!! If you're at Amsa Market, I fully recommend Gimssi Chicken as the go-to Amsa-dong favorite haha.
