Balladak Fried Dalk Sindang Bonjeom 발라닭 신당본점 / Balladak Fried Chicken

Five flavors of fried chicken share one plate in the 5-Flavor Chicken Platter, a dine-in-only item, and the charcoal-glazed (sutbul yangnyeom) chicken carries a smoky edge in its sauce. Dakmaeuntang, a spicy chicken stew with boneless meat in a clear, peppery broth, tastes nothing like the more familiar braised dakdoritang. Retro pocha decor and a playlist of old Korean pop set the mood, and wooden maru platforms outside fill up when the weather is mild.
