[2025 Seoul Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kyochon Chicken Dongdaemun 1 (Updated Aug)

What I ate as takeaway when I went to Korea alone ● Kyochon Chicken Dongdaemun 1st Branch Japanese menu available Chicken eaten late at night is the best! You can order single wings from 2 pieces so I went to Kyochon and Honey 😋 I long for chimaek but I can't drink beer so I went with Chilsung Cider 🍗🍻 ● Ri Kimbap Apgujeong Main Branch English label available Kimbap I bought for breakfast I eat Ri Kimbap every time I go to Korea! 1F takeaway 2F eat-in space Consistently delicious 😋 When I went to Seoul concerts I always bought a lot of kimbap here and ate it when I got hungry~ ●LONDON BAGLE MUSEUM Anguk branch My first Korean bagel 🥯 I was so hungry I quickly returned to the hotel I ate my Carrot Rappée Everything Sandwich in just 5 minutes 🍴🤣 It wasn't the squishy type I like but the Rappée was delicious! I wished the Everything had more punch... #travelingtoKoreaalone #triptoSeoul #Koreanfood

This is my second solo trip to Seoul! On this trip, I made sure to enjoy soy sauce marinated crab (ganjang gejang), café hopping (visiting places like Onion, Bready Post, and Cafe Kitchen 205), porridge, samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup), fried chicken, solo Korean BBQ, yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) and sannakji (live octopus). I had an amazing time! Korea is super solo-traveler friendly, and the portions aren't too big! Well, except for the fried chicken 😂. You might think, "Fried chicken? We have that in Japan too," but Korean fried chicken is completely different—super crispy and packed with flavor! There are even places where you can enjoy samgyetang and BBQ alone! This time, I visited a restaurant called Soso Galbi and another called Tosokchon. At the BBQ place, as soon as you sit down, they automatically serve you a single portion of meat. That’s the only item on the menu—so simple and straightforward! Café hopping in Korea is also a lot of fun! At Hyundai Department Store, there are bakeries and cake shops all in one place, so you can try a variety of things at once. I even bought some bread to take back home! For breakfast, I had porridge 🥣. The sea urchin and abalone porridge were absolutely delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed Korean cuisine to the fullest 🇰🇷.

Hello! ✨ New menu of Kyochon Chicken (교촌치킨), a popular fried chicken chain in Korea! ✨ Introducing the corn flavor 🌽♡ The menu we ordered is Kyochon Oksu-susunsal (교촌옥수수순살)! In Korean, "Oksu-sus" means corn and "sunsal" means boneless meat 😊 We ordered corn-flavored boneless chicken ♩ As for the taste... The savory flavor of corn, the sweetness of honey and butter, and the saltiness like black pepper were perfectly balanced, and it was sweet and salty and really addictively delicious 🤤🍴 Juicy boneless chicken is covered with crispy corn flakes and fried. The texture was also the best😆💥 Until now, I've only had the honey combo at Kyochon Chicken, but the corn flavor is also worth trying👏🔥 It goes great with chimaek (chicken & beer) to enjoy with beer🍗🍻 Also, the plum soda-ade soft drink was very delicious, so I recommend that too🍹🥤♡ Kyochon Oksu-sus has a slightly different taste from other fried chicken🌽 Please give it a try😆♩ 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 🏠: Kyochon Chicken/교촌치킨 (kyochon 1991 Dongdaemun 1st store) 📍Location: Changshin-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul 464-6 🕒Business hours: Open 24 hours 🚉Nearest station: Dongdaemun Station, 2 minutes walk Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, 13 minutes walk 💰Price: Kyocheon Oksusunsal, 23,000 won (Hangul: 교촌옥수수순살) 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 𓈒 𓂃 #0 yen travel #overseas travel strategy #Korea #Korea travel #Korean cuisine #Seoul #Seoul travel #Seoul cuisine #Dongdaemun #Dongdaemun cuisine #Dongdaemun History & Culture Park #Dongdaemun Station #Korean Chicken #Kyochon Chicken #Kyochon #Dongdaemun Hotel #교촌치킨

It was my first time in Korea and I was worried about the language barrier, but the subway station was convenient and the signs were standard. It was a really great trip 👍
