Chicken on carbo buldak noodles from a Hongdae restaurant: Goobne
In short
Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road is a chicken restaurant with outdoor seating and a whiskey bar on Jandari-ro 2-gil in Mapo, Seoul. One whole Gochu Basasak (crispy spicy fried chicken, 22,900 won) and wedge potatoes (5,000 won) were ordered to go and piled onto carbo buldak and four-cheese buldak noodles at home, where the marbling sauce beat the goblin sauce.

Today I stopped by a Hongdae chicken spot I loved~ I ended up taking my order to go this time, but the seating was huge and there's even an outdoor pochana-style area, so it looks perfect for a group dinner too. Let me introduce a Hongdae favorite, 'Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road'!

Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road just opened recently! Since it's the Red Road branch, the interior is all Red Red 🎶
Outdoor tables, full-height windows and the first-floor whiskey bar
There's outdoor pochana-style seating in front of Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road! The weather's getting cool these days so I bet it tastes even better out there haha. The floor-to-ceiling windows also made it feel really open.
The 1st floor connects straight to a terrace and a bar! It's a chicken restaurant, but the bar serves a wide range of whiskeys. Chicken and a whiskey bar, what a combo.
The amazing thing is they have Extreme Cold beer. It looked sooooo cold.. they had Cass, Budweiser, and Stella. We came just to take out, but I did briefly consider staying to drink here.. And at the bar you can try all kinds of whiskey. Basic, standard, premium, even Japanese whiskey! If you like whiskey, you have to visit ꒰´꒳`∗꒱
And happy hour! All kinds of cocktails for ₩3,900! If you love drinking, you really have to check this out haha.
Since it just opened, even the bathroom was super clean.
The second-floor group room for team dinners in Hongdae
And the spacious seating at Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road is all on the 2nd floor! It's wide with plenty of seats, which was great. Perfect for a group dinner. Highly recommend it as a dinner-party spot haha.
What we ordered: Gochu Basasak 22,900 won and wedge potatoes 5,000 won
Since it's Goobne, the menu has all the chickens you already know. Original, Gochu Basasak, Volcano, and more, plus pizza, so you can pick whatever suits your taste ⚆ɞ⚆ We ordered Gochu Basasak ₩22,900 and wedge potatoes ₩5,000. We got it to go!
Tada, wait around the hall and they'll bring out your takeout order. Looked so good ㅜㅜㅜ The chicken smell was so strong I wanted to tear into it right away... but I held off and walked home okay.
Unpacking the Gochu Basasak at home: marbling sauce over goblin sauce
Got home quickly and opened it right up lol. They packed the Goobne marbling sauce and goblin sauce nicely too! For Gochu Basasak, this sauce is the real kicker.
Ahh... looks so good right ㅜㅜㅜ Plated the wedge potatoes nicely in a bowl too haha, and set the chicken up nicely as well.
The visuals are amazing... Gochu Basasak haha. Personally I think Gochu Basasak is the tastiest thing at Goobne!! Highly recommend.
Alright, time to actually eat it └[∵┌]└[ ∵ ]┘[┐∵]┘
Hehe, I boiled up carbo buldak and four-cheese buldak too... don't underestimate me, I know my food.
Dipped it right into the sauce like this. Ah.. so good. Personally I like the marbling sauce way more than the goblin sauce!! Which sauce do you all prefer?
I also piled it on top of the buldak like this, and the buldak and Gochu Basasak went together so well. You guys should grab some buldak and try this combo too haha, highly recommend.
Is Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road worth it for outdoor drinks or a group dinner?
If you're looking for outdoor seating or a dinner-party venue in Hongdae, give Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road a try. Being Goobne, the taste is guaranteed haha, and the interior is really nice with plenty of seats. Next time I'm going to eat in-store and definitely try the Extreme Cold beer! It seems like it'll be super refreshing.
With whiskey, highballs, and beer, there's a wide drink selection at the outdoor seating too, so I think you'll be satisfied if you go haha. Recommending the Hongdae favorite, 'Goobne Chicken Hongdae Red Road'!
