About
Crisp, juicy fried chicken wings with finger gloves, in a modern Japanese-style izakaya setting.
The first clue that this is a wings-led izakaya is the finger gloves: 테바나카 (fried chicken wings) are meant to be picked up and eaten by hand. They come out crisp outside and juicy inside, with a savory, slightly buttery, nutty taste. They’re sold in a minimum of 10 pieces; the catalog lists fried wings at ₩900 each. The room has Japanese signs and decor, with a tidy, modern take on a pojangmacha—the tented street-bar style of Korea. Start with the wings, then add something for the table rather than treating this as a full dinner menu. Grilled pollock roe (myeongran-gui) is a savory match for draft beer, while the fried chicken and other small plates suit a longer round of drinks. Highballs and lemon sours are also praised for tasting well mixed, without much obvious alcohol bite. The menu ranges beyond Japanese-style bar snacks, but the wings are the item visitors repeatedly single out. Ordering is usually through a QR code or phone-based system; ask if you’d rather order aloud, as staff have accepted verbal orders, and one visitor also mentions paper ordering. Tables seat four, so groups can share plates, while the casual bar format also draws solo drinkers. It opens daily from 4:30 p.m. until 4 a.m., making it an option for a late second round. Ask the store about parking before driving over. It suits friends, couples, colleagues, and anyone after a low-key drink with something crispy to share. A few visitors describe good value, but the small review sample is mixed: one reviewer reports poor food and rude service, and another says they felt pressured to leave a review. Go for the wings and drinks, but don’t expect the experience to be uniformly polished.
