Dongdaemun
Dinner
With a whopping 87,000 fried chicken restaurants in South Korea, and a huge proportion of them set in the Seoul Capital Area, it’s obvious that Koreans love this tasty treat, and one of the most popular chains is Kyochon Chicken. The Dongdaemun location is the company’s largest, and it’s open 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The interior is that of your typical fast-food joint, but the chicken and beer are spot on. Fun fact: this location is on the second floor of a building directly above a KFC.
