Hannam-dong Hanbang Tongdak
한남동 한방통닭
Review
Hannam-dong Hanbang Tongdak is a whole chicken restaurant built around wood-fire roasting rather than deep-frying, tucked into the Hannam-dong neighborhood. The technique itself is the draw here — cooking the whole bird over an open wood fire instead of oil gives the place a different identity from the fried-chicken spots that dominate most Seoul neighborhoods.
The hours also say a lot about how the place is meant to be used: doors open at 4 PM and stay open past midnight on weekdays, stretching to 1:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. That kind of late-night runway makes it a natural stop whether you're starting an evening in Hannam-dong or looking for somewhere to land after moving on from an earlier spot.
