Han Chu Korean Fried Chicken, 549-9 Shinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu Seoul

This is where most tour guides will point you when it comes to the best fried chicken in Seoul, Korean style. Unlike other fried chickens, the one served at Chu Korean Fried Chicken Restaurant is more on the spicy side (of course) with bits of tanginess. Will go very well with a cold Korean beer.

 Sigol Bapsang, 738-17 Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu

Last on our last but not the least, this is a favorite by many tourists who have tried their modern and traditional dishes. So they go back for more and sample as much as thirthy banchans. The setting is lovingly rusting with the charm of old Korea. And if you are one of those types who prowl the streets at night, you can easily dine here as they are open 24/7.
