Seocho chicken spot for a hearty after-church lunch: Seocho Jeonggye
Seocho Jeonggye (서초정계) is a Korean chicken restaurant on Beobwon-ro 1-gil near Seocho Station in Seoul. On a chilly weekend, a couple came to Seocho Jeonggye after church for a lunch of dakhanmari (whole chicken stew), and the portion was so generous they never got to add noodles or porridge; they also liked the kimchi, said to be 100% Korean-grown, and the sikhye served on the way out. For a warm, filling Korean lunch in Seocho, Seocho Jeonggye's dakhanmari is a dependable choice.
