There are seats inside, but the terrace pocha tables give it that outdoor drinking vibe, and with the cool weather it was perfect!!! It's a chicken feet spot that's survived ten years in the Hongdae food alley, so it fills up even from the early 4-5pm opening. While we were eating, people kept wandering in off the street and seats filled right up. We lucked out with one spot left, got seated quickly, and could just enjoy the atmosphere and order what we wanted right away~ ![Evening atmosphere at the terrace seats of Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-05-1mca5-900.webp) ![Menu board at Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-06-191lb-900.webp) ## Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch menu and prices The signature set at Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch is the Cheongnyeon Dakbal Set at ₩42,000, and a single serving of soup chicken feet is ₩12,000.

About Shin Ramyun level The broth on the boneless chicken feet at Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch looks fiery but sits right at Shin Ramyun spice level — spicy in a delicious way, so even spice-shy people could handle it. The chicken feet are plump and chewy, the collagen full of smoky char flavor, and biting into it fills your mouth with flavor — that familiar taste that gets you every time, watching it made me drool. ![A single piece of smoky-charred boneless chicken feet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-12-8at61-900.webp) ![Boneless chicken feet wrapped in perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-13-sih8r-900.webp) ### Chicken feet wrapped in perilla leaves, rice balls mixed at the table Wrapping it in perilla leaves or pairing it with rice balls — no need to say more~ I used to like shaping the rice balls into neat little rounds, but honestly it's tastier just mixing it all up and eating it with a spoon out of laziness! Pile on the chicken feet, add mayo to soothe the heat, and it relieves stress and makes the perfect drinking snack — how great is that~ I wanted to do a proper toast, but ended up just filming it randomly~ My friend went along with a confused "huh?!" — so thankful for that haha. ![Rice balls mixed with chicken feet on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-14-hutlt-900.webp) ![Kalguksu noodles added into the chicken feet broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-15-1tlbj-900.webp) ### Kalguksu noodles cooked in the chicken feet broth If you don't eat the kalguksu noodles fast enough the broth disappears, but there's also this trick — dunk them straight into the chicken feet broth and slurp them up~ ![Kalguksu noodles lifted out after soaking in chicken feet broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-16-nkpcq-900.webp) Even full, the fried chicken skin was so good I kept eating it — the crispy texture is irresistible and really satisfying!!! ![Crispy fried chicken skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-17-16rhj-900.webp) ![Fried chicken skin paired with a shot of soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-18-1g2l2-900.webp) ## Vanilla pine sherbet to cool down the spice To finish off the spicy chicken feet, we ordered vanilla pine sherbet for ₩8,000. As lightweights, we wanted something refreshing with our drinks, so we got the vanilla pine sherbet, and it melted right in the mouth~! ![Vanilla pine sherbet ordered for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet-19-1oz4v-900.webp) Ahh~ the soju tasted so sweet that day~ drunk on chicken feet, drunk on the atmosphere, drunk on the refreshing sherbet~ I came to have a drink after dinner, but the chicken feet were so good my hand kept reaching for more even when full?! I'm a lightweight so the next day was rough, but I couldn't stop~ Chatting away with my friend over good food, time flew by, it was so fun, and I was sad to have to go home... aw. They also have their own soft, sweet makgeolli, pineapple soju blended with whole pineapple, and even a Del Monte cocktail. Have a great time drinking with chicken feet! ## Where it is - Cheongnyeon Dakbal 1987 Hongdae Branch (청년닭발1987 홍대점) - 1F, 218-1 Donggyo-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로 218-1 1층 - 37.5595185, 126.9239368 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B2%AD%EB%85%84%EB%8B%AD%EB%B0%9C1987%20%ED%99%8D%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%90/@37.5595185,126.9239368,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@steam-at-noon/hongdae-yajang-chicken-feet-sherbet/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
