Doojjim Dongjak Noryangjin Branch

About

A popular braised chicken franchise branch in Noryangjin known for generous portions, classic spicy jjimdak, and rich fusion variations.

Tucked into Dongjak-gu near Nodeul and Noryangjin, Dujjim specializes in hearty, sauce-drenched braised chicken crafted for seamless delivery, takeout, and shared office lunches. Packed into signature heart-shaped containers, the meals arrive piping hot, making it a reliable fixture for communal desk dining where sharing without mess is paramount. The menu spans traditional braised profiles alongside bolder fusion experiments. The classic red jjimdak (Ppalgan Jjimdak) leans into a sweet-savory, glossy crimson glaze that thoroughly coats bite-sized, boneless chicken morsels. Translucent dangmyeon (glass noodles) soak up the sauce alongside tender wedges of sweet onion, while pickled radish cubes provide a crisp, acidic break between rich bites. For diners chasing heat and indulgence, the Silbi Hanwoo Gop-jjimdak pushes the format further. This heavyweight bowl combines tender chicken with rich, fatty Hanwoo beef entrails (gopchang and daechang), offset by fiery, intensely seasoned Silbi kimchi. Local fans recommend pulling on food-prep gloves to tear the fiery, uncut kimchi lengthwise, then rolling the spicy cabbage leaves directly around slices of rich gopchang and boneless chicken to balance the fatty richness. The bubbling, vibrant stew packs serious heat, warranting an apron or dark clothing to protect against wayward splatters from the noodles. Beyond fiery entrails and red chili braises, the kitchen accommodates varied cravings with its popular cream-infused roster, featuring Rose, Mara Rose, and Buldak Rose variations alongside Mukeunji (aged kimchi) and cheese-topped builds. Portions are generous enough that extra additions are rarely needed to feed a small group, though ordering boneless cuts proves essential for easy communal eating. Open daily from 11:00 to 23:00, this branch has earned a devoted local following for mixing deep, concentrated gravies with reliably hefty portions.
