Samseong-dong Chicken Samseong Branch
삼성동치킨 삼성점
About
Crisp fried chicken, garlic-soy chicken and golbaengi with chewy noodles in a small Samseong-dong chicken-and-beer room.
The house classic is fried chicken (후라이드치킨), its thin batter crisp without feeling floury or especially oily. The chicken is described as plump, and the simple, clean finish makes it easy to keep picking at alongside a beer. If you want something richer, garlic-soy chicken (마늘간장치킨) brings a savory, slightly sweet glaze that reviewers say works particularly well with beer. Chicken comes as one whole bird by default; half-and-half is available if you want two flavors, and boneless, wings or combo versions cost ₩2,000 extra. For a second dish, the golbaengi with jjolmyeon pairs sea snails with chewy noodles; be ready for a serious kick if you choose the spicy version. The menu also has tteokbokki, fish cake soup, fries and simple late-night options such as ramen. Fries get mixed feedback, so the chicken is the safer anchor. This is a small, social neighborhood place rather than a quiet dinner room: expect conversation, clinking glasses and a livelier feel when groups arrive. It opens at 17:00 every day except Sunday, when it is closed. You can call ahead to reserve for a group, and takeout is available; parking is not. The menu includes group seating, though the room is small, so phoning first is sensible if you are bringing several people. Reviews describe the owner and staff as attentive, but the tables can feel different from one visit to the next. Plan on a relaxed chicken-and-beer stop with friends or colleagues, not a hushed date. One reviewer notices a slight chicken smell, and another finds the meat a little dry, so the experience is not perfectly uniform.
