Four of us booked the annex, at the entrance of the baby octopus alley, through Naver and ordered four servings of garlic salt chicken galbi with steamed egg and a vegetable skewer, and a staff member split the pre-grilled chicken across two pans to finish it. The chicken at Ondogye tasted clean and lightly seasoned with no gamey smell, so even our parents left happy. ## Good to know - **Address**: 15 Cheonho-daero 158-gil, 1F, Gangdong-gu, Seoul (annex: 9 Cheonho-daero 158-gil, 1F) - **Hours**: Daily 16:00–23:00 (last order 22:00), open year-round - **Location**: 3-minute walk from Cheonho Station Exit 6; the annex sits at the entrance of the baby octopus alley - **Chicken galbi flavors**: Garlic salt, soy sauce, spicy sauce - **Garlic salt chicken galbi**: 17,000 won - **Steamed egg**: 5,000 won - **Vegetable skewer**: 8,000 won (1 pc) - **Included sides**: White sauce, red sauce, wasabi, pickled radish wraps, green onion kimchi, seasoned green onion salad, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) - **Review event**: Write a Naver receipt review and get a free rice ball or one vegetable skewer - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, takeout, reservations, separate men's and women's restrooms, waiting area - **Parking**: No parking in front of the restaurant.

I visited the annex. This is honestly my nth visit, so I can recommend it with full confidence 😊 ![Interior seating at the Ondogye annex](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-03-isdq4-966.webp) ## Full before 6pm on a Sunday: book through Naver I booked ahead on Naver before going, and even though it was a Sunday, the place was already fully booked before 6pm. I really recommend reserving in advance through Naver 👍 ## Three chicken galbi flavors on the menu There are three types of chicken galbi to choose from — garlic salt, soy sauce, or spicy sauce. The salt-grilled chicken thigh meat and fried gizzards also looked like real specialties. ![Ondogye's chicken galbi menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-04-1j57z-966.webp) ![Menu board listing salt-grilled chicken thigh and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-05-1spsx-966.webp) They said if you write a Naver receipt review, you get a free rice ball or a vegetable skewer (1pc) — ❤️ definitely take part in that ❤️ ## What we ordered for four people There were four of us, so we ordered four servings of garlic salt chicken galbi at ₩17,000 each, one steamed egg at ₩5,000, and one vegetable skewer at ₩8,000. ![Table set for four with basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-06-1kctw-966.webp) ![Table spread with garlic salt chicken galbi and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-07-1wufv-3840.webp) These are the standard side dishes that come with the meal — white sauce, red sauce, wasabi, pickled radish, green onion kimchi, and shredded green onion, plus a doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) on the side. ![Side dishes including white sauce, red sauce, and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-08-t05u0-966.webp) ![Plate of pickled radish, green onion kimchi, and shredded green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-09-1bnc7-966.webp) ### Complimentary fried gizzards and steamed egg The fried gizzard they gave us as a complimentary dish! The chewy texture was so good and there was zero gamey smell, which made it a great appetizer. ![Complimentary fried gizzard](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-10-ln5vu-966.webp) Steamed egg, ₩5,000. Ordering this super fluffy steamed egg as a side dish made the meal so much more satisfying. A warm steamed egg to warm up the stomach 🙆 ![Fluffy, puffed-up steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-11-d8jug-966.webp) ![Bowl of steamed egg ordered as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-12-7yroq-966.webp) ## Garlic salt chicken galbi arrives pre-grilled Since it comes pre-grilled when you order, you can eat it much faster. Rice cakes and mushrooms are prepared alongside it too. ![Pre-grilled chicken galbi served with rice cake and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-13-1i1sq-966.webp) A staff member grills the meat perfectly for you, so all you have to do is watch their flashy scissor work and wait for it to finish cooking. For our four servings, they grilled two portions on the first pan and two on the second 😊 ![Garlic salt chicken galbi grilling on the charcoal pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-14-hyvbv-966.webp) ![Chicken galbi cut up by a staff member with scissors](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-15-lz3vw-966.webp) They cut everything into such neat, clean pieces that it looked amazing ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ I had also ordered the vegetable skewer, so I ate it together with the second pan. The grill marks on the chicken skin made it look especially delicious 😋 ![Chicken skin with grill marks and vegetable skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-16-fwzqq-966.webp) ### How did the chicken galbi taste? There was absolutely no gamey smell, just a clean, mild flavor, so I think people of any age would love this garlic salt chicken galbi 😊 ![Close-up of neatly cut garlic salt chicken galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-17-q0lxe-m-966.webp) Even people who don't like salty food will be happy with this — I can guarantee the seasoning isn't strong at all. ![A piece of mildly seasoned garlic salt chicken galbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-18-1sq38-966.webp) ![Chicken galbi on pickled radish with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-19-1685g-966.webp) They recommended wrapping the chicken with pickled radish and wasabi first. The combination of the savory chicken fat and the cool, crisp radish was absolutely delicious 👍 ![Chicken galbi prepared with pickled radish wrap combo](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-20-40f40-966.webp) ![Vegetable skewer grilling alongside chicken galbi on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-21-fwcpt-966.webp) ## Order the vegetable skewer alongside it Eating the vegetable skewer alongside the chicken made everything even tastier. The skewer had zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, mushroom, green onion, and cherry tomato on it. They really seem to have picked out vegetables that taste great grilled 👍 ![Vegetable skewer with zucchini and bell pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-22-hi95x-966.webp) ![Close-up of a colorful vegetable skewer](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-23-1t3iy-966.webp) Such a colorful vegetable skewer, right up my mom's alley 👍 I really recommend ordering the vegetable skewer alongside your meal. ![Strawberry ice cream served for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex-24-17mzw-966.webp) We finished off with a cool, soft strawberry ice cream for dessert ❤️ and it made me so happy ❤️ Ondogye is clean and mild enough to fully satisfy even picky-eating parents. It's light, tender, and absolutely delicious, so you have to try it. I strongly recommend it as one of the best restaurants in Cheonho 😋 ## Where it is - Ondogye (온도계) - 15 Cheonho-daero 158-gil, 1F, Gangdong-gu, Seoul (annex: 9 Cheonho-daero 158-gil, 1F), South Korea - 서울특별시 강동구 천호대로158길 15 1층 온도계 - 37.5367176, 127.1264377 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A8%EB%8F%84%EA%B3%84/@37.5367176,127.1264377,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-evening-tab/cheonho-charcoal-dakgalbi-garlic-salt-annex/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
