Operating for 40 years, Munhwa Tongdak is a beloved Jeju fried-chicken spot frequented by locals and tourists. Every dish starts with fresh whole chickens sourced each morning, hand-prepared and fried to order in clean oil. The signature is the whole garlic chicken — a whole bird fried, filleted by the owner, then topped with a generous mound of minced garlic; the sharp-sweet garlic cuts through the richness for a surprisingly clean finish. Reserve a table at least one hour ahead; takeout and parking are available.

Local Tips

  • Signature whole ‘garlic tongdak’ — whole bird fried, hand‑filleted, served with heaps of minced garlic
  • Simple, local atmosphere — popular with residents and tourists; reserve a table at least one hour before arrival
  • Open 16:00–22:30; takeout and parking available — pair your chicken with a 1,000cc draft beer
