At Daroa Dongbu Market Branch, the chicken gets fried right when you order it. There's a chicken model out front that looks super appetizing. Daroa means chicken, right!! They have Irouwn fried chicken, seasoned chicken, kadayif shrimp, and a shrimp-and-chicken combo too. I ordered one boneless fried chicken and took a look around inside. ![Chicken menu board listing Irouwn fried chicken, seasoned chicken, and more](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-03-12rrn-966.webp) ## Burger menu and the 3,500 won set upgrade Daroa's burger lineup is varied — cheese bulgogi, egg cheese bulgogi, crunchy corn, gochu mayo chicken, thick hamburg steak, kadayif whole shrimp, and even a nostalgic 'old-school salad' burger. ![Burger menu board with cheese bulgogi, egg cheese bulgogi, and more](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-04-sq8ep-966.webp) You can try many kinds of burgers at low prices. I had a hard time deciding what to get. In the end I ordered the basic cheese bulgogi burger! It tastes like the kind of burger my mom used to make at home when I was little. Kids love it, so it's a good meal choice for the whole family. You can also upgrade to a set for an extra ₩3,500. ![Bread display shelf at Daroa Dongbu Market Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-05-1v2j5-966.webp) ![Red bean bread and cream bread displayed by type](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-06-1ldlb-966.webp) ![Store interior with bread types and prices posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-07-1139z-966.webp) ## 10 breads for 10,000 won: the red bean cream bun was the pick Daroa's bread gets cheaper the more you buy!!

Really, they cover everything from meals to snacks. If I'd been heading straight home I would've wanted to grab a sorbet, but since I had more market browsing and errands to do, I decided to save it for next time. Watermelon, pineapple — these look completely real, don't they? A look you don't get anywhere else. ![Real-looking watermelon and pineapple shaped sorbets on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-14-4pm1f-966.webp) ## How the boneless Iroun chicken tasted back home Ta-da~ By the time I finished browsing and shopping, my chicken order was all fried up! Here's the packed Daroa Irouwn chicken. Even the packaging brings back childhood nostalgia, haha. It comes out just like the chicken packaging my dad used to bring home, haha. ![Packed paper box of Daroa's Irouwn chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-15-zcknv-966.webp) The Irouwn chicken I ordered is boneless fried chicken. Crispy outside, juicy inside — it's amazing eaten piping hot. That savory chicken smell wafting through the air~ I took it home packed up, and my kid loved it. Delicious chicken to share with family. ![Boneless fried chicken opened up after takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping/daroa-dongbu-market-holiday-shopping-16-14619-966.webp) ## Seating at Daroa Dongbu Market Branch: one seat, mostly takeout Daroa Dongbu Market Branch is mainly a takeout shop, but there's 1 seat out front, so if it's free you can sit down and eat something simple.
