🐔 Rich-Broth Dakhanmari in Dongdaemun’s Dakhanmari Alley, Wonsodak
Featured on Korean TV, Wonsodak (Won Halmae Somunnan Wonjo Dakhanmari) is a traditional eatery that has long anchored the Jongno–Dongdaemun Dakhanmari Alley. We confidently recommend it to guests who want to enjoy dakhanmari in a true local setting.
If you are staying around Dongdaemun or Gwangjang Market, we recommend a warming dinner at Wonsodak, a 5-minute walk from Exit 6 of Jongno 5-ga Station.
Dakhanmari is a Seoul specialty in which a whole chicken is simmered in rich broth at your table. Enjoy the tender chicken first, then finish by cooking knife-cut noodles in the deepened broth.
For two, we recommend Set A with noodles and assorted potato, rice cake and mushroom add-ins; for four, Set C with two whole chickens. With group seating, it is great for larger parties too.
