I went to Kkoko Land, a new spot that just opened in Hongdae, and I left really satisfied — the outdoor vibe was great, and above all, everything we ordered was so good! It's within walking distance of Sangsu Station too, so I really want to recommend this new place to anyone looking for outdoor bars in Hongdae or Sangsu! ## Kkoko Land hours and location Hours: Mon-Fri 16:00-02:00 / Sat-Sun 12:00-02:00, last order 01:00. Reservations can be made through Naver. It's close to Sangsu Station Exit 2, and also a fine spot to head to after hanging out in Hongdae! ![Kkoko Land's building exterior and entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-02-jo5fk-900.webp) ![View of Kkoko Land's entrance near Sangsu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-03-1daur-900.webp) Since Kkoko Land just opened, the whole place felt clean and fresh, with exactly the kind of vibe you want for drinks outdoors. The entrance alone was huge — almost overwhelming, honestly. ## The full outdoor-bar mood, Hongdae style ![Open-roof outdoor seating at Kkoko Land](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-04-1cen3-900.webp) ![Table layout in the spacious outdoor hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-05-4veky-900.webp) ![Stairs leading up to the room-style space](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-06-g8bmh-900.webp) ![View of the bar's interior atmosphere from an outdoor table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-07-6sg6g-900.webp) ![Evening view of Kkoko Land's outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-08-ym7x7-900.webp) Overall the place was big, with lots of seats and plenty of space. There's also a room-style space up what feels like a second floor, so it looked like a good option for larger groups too! At the outdoor tables you get more of a lively, buzzing atmosphere, while the room seems like it'd be more comfortable for a group gathering. What really got me was that the top isn't closed off like a normal indoor space — the ceiling is completely open, so it genuinely feels like you're drinking outdoors!!! On a cool evening like these lately, the vibe there must be amazing! (I loved it so much I really made the most of it haha) ## Big screens too ![Large screen on one wall of the hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-09-1d5ux-900.webp) ![Table seating with a large screen in view](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-10-wwd8r-m-900.webp) ![Outdoor space with large screens on both sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-11-d2r5b-m-900.webp) There are also large screens on both sides, so it looked great for watching a soccer match or videos together with a group! On a World Cup day or during a big match, coming here with a bunch of friends to drink and cheer would be a whole vibe lol. So it seemed like it'd work for everything — a casual Hongdae date for two, a friend hangout, a birthday, or a big group drinking session. Above all, with the outdoor seating plus big screens plus a group room, this is a Hongdae bar worth remembering if you're looking for a place for a group to gather on a nice-weather day!! ## A great start: welcome drink plus the basic side dish ![Non-alcoholic welcome drink given to first-time guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-12-9rdz9-641.webp) ![Welcome drink alongside the chicken-leg-shaped snack](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-13-1l92u-526.webp) On your first visit here, they give you a non-alcoholic welcome drink, and it's genuinely more delicious than you'd expect! On its own it's sweet, easy to drink like a regular beverage — but I poured in about 2-3 soju-glass shots of soju, and it turned into something like a sweet vodka cocktail, which was totally my style. The chicken-leg-shaped snack came as the basic side dish, and of course it was tasty too haha! ![A glass with soju mixed into the welcome drink](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-14-1okmg-900.webp) ### What we ordered - Signature charcoal-grilled chicken neck (spicy) + extra tortillas - Sweet mango cream shrimp ## Sweet mango cream shrimp, ₩19,000 ![A plate of sweet mango cream shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-15-k3ihr-m-900.webp) ![Plump fried shrimp coated in cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-16-1p39j-900.webp) Sweet mango cream shrimp! Crispy, plump shrimp with sweet-tangy mango and a smooth cream sauce — this was genuinely delicious too. I'm not usually a mango person, but the mango flavor wasn't overpowering, just subtle and well-matched, so this ended up one of my favorite dishes! The shrimp were especially plump and the batter crispy, so the sauce and shrimp went together perfectly — I kept reaching for more. ![Glasses raised in a toast alongside the mango cream shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-17-fxvni-900.webp) ![A large side plate filled with various sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-18-fxax7-900.webp) You can't resist a drink with this side dish!!! After a round of drinks we dug in even harder — they also gave us a variety of sauces on a small plate, so we got to enjoy different flavors, and the plate being extra-large was a nice touch too! ## Signature charcoal-grilled seasoned chicken neck, ₩24,000 ![A full plate of the signature charcoal-grilled chicken neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-19-1wksd-900.webp) ![Close-up of chicken neck with a charcoal aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-20-1lb6a-900.webp) ![Tortillas served alongside the chicken neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-21-2kc5j-900.webp) ![Wrapping chicken neck in a tortilla to eat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-22-h88w7-900.webp) Signature charcoal-grilled chicken neck, seasoned. This is chicken neck — a special cut — given a charcoal aroma. The seasoning was great, and the chicken neck had that chewy-yet-tender texture that made it genuinely so good... It's tasty on its own, but wrapping it in a tortilla with the chicken neck was even better. The tortilla seems to mellow out the spiciness a bit? You might run out of tortillas as you go, but you can order extra, so I'd personally recommend adding more and wrapping it up! ![Table set with both chicken neck and mango cream shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-23-1wys2-900.webp) If the chicken neck is all about strong charcoal smokiness and seasoning, the mango cream shrimp is sweet and soft, so ordering both together made a perfect combo. Everything we ordered was delicious, so next time I'd love to try other menu items too! I have a feeling I'll be coming back often 😙 ![A full spread of food and drinks at Kkoko Land's outdoor seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland-24-1vy2w-1200.webp) ## To sum up A new outdoor bar in Hongdae that starts you off with a sweet welcome drink and lets you properly enjoy side dishes like charcoal chicken neck with tortillas and mango cream shrimp! If you're looking for a great outdoor bar in Hongdae on a nice-weather day, I highly recommend it :) One thing though — many of the staff are foreign and can get confused with orders, so double-check when your dishes arrive!! ## Where it is - Kkoko Land (꼬꼬랜드) - 18 Wausan-ro 19-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st-2nd floor - 서울특별시 마포구 와우산로19길 18 1,2층 - 37.5513182, 126.9221635 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%BC%AC%EA%BC%AC%EB%9E%9C%EB%93%9C/@37.5513182,126.9221635,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-after-dusk-3/hongdae-yajang-mango-cream-shrimp-kkokkoland/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
