A much-loved local chicken joint in Pohang known for its addictive garlic chicken. Their '' (half-and-half) options differ from the usual pairing — think garlic and chili or soy instead of the typical sweet-spicy and plain — a flavor profile that started when this place was a tiny market stall.

Local Tips

  • Signature garlic chicken with a punchy, addictive flavor — the house specialty
  • Locally beloved, no-frills spot that began as a small market stall
