About
Charcoal-grilled chicken, vegetable and bacon skewers with street-side pocha seating near Hapjeong.
The skewers go on the grill at the front of Hosukkotchi Hongdae Hapjeong, so you can watch them cook from the street-side tables. Smoke and the smell of charcoal drift past the outdoor seating, the main draw on a pleasant evening. Inside, the room is small, with an old-school pocha feel and older songs playing; it suits a casual round of drinks more than a long, quiet dinner. Order the sundae? No: the menu is built around skewers. The 순살파닭 (boneless chicken with scallion) is crisp outside and juicy within, with a sauce that has a mild kick; the seasoning can lean salty. It costs ₩4,800. 소떡소떡, chewy rice cake and sausage on a skewer, is another good snack at ₩4,500. For a more direct taste of the grill, 호수꼬치 is ₩5,900; the skewers generally arrive thick and juicy, with a smoky edge. There are also chicken, vegetable and bacon skewers, plus beer for a simple pairing. This is an evening-and-late-night place, open daily from 17:00 until 04:30, with last order reported around 04:15. You can order individual skewers as well as set menus for two to four, so a small group need not commit to a large spread. The owner grills in front of the shop, and cooking can take a while; settle in with a drink rather than expecting food to arrive all at once. Choose the outdoor seats when the weather is comfortable, or the compact interior when it is not. It works well for friends sharing snacks, couples, or a late stop after drinks, and reviewers also mention coming with family. The trade-off is that this is straightforward pocha fare, not a destination for elaborate cooking, and some skewers may taste salty. If you are in a hurry, the wait at the grill can be frustrating.
