Ordered a two-halves set, a seafood noodle and a chicken feet. Chicken ok. Chicken feet too spicy for us. Seafood noodle had abalone and mussels. Good. More than enough for 4 people. The wrong order was taken and the restaurant gladly changed it back without...hassle.More

Tried a few fried chicken stores and this is average. Nothing impressive and if elsewhere has a long queue, this can be a substitute.

We got take out from here because the queue for next door at BHC was crazy long. You still have to wait 20mins at least as it’s made to order. We had the crispy and the regular fried chicken. One order is a whole chook...so enough for 2-3 people. Next time we will get one with some spice. It was juicy but not really that flavoursome.More

The Chicken are juicier and bigger than BHC and Kyochon but their sauces are not as nice. don't order the chicken salad as their salad is basically coleslaw and it comes in a huge portion. so u will be like eating a whole raw cabbage..

Enjoyed ourselves pretty good with the deep fried whole chicken done in 2 styles! Pick a taste that you like n can tolerate if you are into spicy ones! Very surprised with the “dry” comments from the last contributor!!! Worth a visit if you are...in the area.More

This place came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. A number of fried chicken options with a variety of other options for the less inclined. Reasonably priced and in a good location for people watching. Fast service.

That’s the fourth time I go to this place in Seoul (pretty much each time I am in Seoul for some family time). As usual, the fried chicken was very good (the original one rules all, the cheese one is pretty good too) by we...also took some gizzards which were surprisingly tasty and tender inside. I would recommend them too. And of course, I got my tower of Cass which is my personal highlight because let’s face it, who doesn’t like beer?More

I heard about this place and decided to try it. I was there on Sunday around 1pm. Hardly anyone there. Ordered the original sauce fried chicken it was ~18,000won. Didn't know it was a whole chicken but wow, the crunch factor was great. Sauce was...a bit too sweet for me and slightly spicy. If it was less sweet and less sauce it would of been perfect. Too bad you can't order 1/2 order. Or maybe you can I didn't see it on the menu. On both sides of the restaurant there are more chicken places.More

Having been in Korea for a teaching job for two months has drawn me to several fried chicken places, which the country is known for. However, overall I find the fried chicken to be bland, lacking in salt, and not exceptional. Today was no exception....Well cooked chicken with a crunchy crust and moist meat, but bland.More

We tried diff fried chicken restaurant during our visit and found that this is the tastiest fried chicken to us. The restaurant opens till late so its great for tourist who is looking for late nite snack/supper. The take out box comes with a can...of coke and side dish and sauce. Their menu is quite extensive so you have lots to choose from. Another restaurant we will revisit for a midnite snackMore

Chicken 678 is located on a street known for pubs and Korean fried chicken (KFC). In fact, I would call this area KFC restaurant row. We picked this one based on menu selection and also availability of a table immediately. This is the street for...late night dining in Myeongdong. Ordered 1/2 sweet honey and 1/2 spicy cheese. Food was a long wait and after the food arrived, we seemed to see our server less and less. Would say that the food quality is good but definitely not spectacular by any means.More

“KFC” is known to many people as “Kentucky Fried Chicken” but for South East Asia, it could mean something else: Korean Fried Chicken. There are many restaurants that operate like this in Seoul; serving fried chicken only with beer on tap and you are torn...between which one to go to. Chicken 678 is located next to Oppadak and as it was near our hotel, we thought let’s give it a shot. There were so many varieties of chicken but because we are boring people, we stuck to the Original Fried Chicken. Every place has their own “original” but we wanted to see what those differences were. The good difference is what we looked for, of course – be it crispier, chicken is tenderer, spiciness is just right; either way, we wanted to try all the “originals”. We felt extremely greedy that day so, on top of our Original Chicken, we also ordered a set of Soy Sauce Chicken Wings. Both dishes on the menu had the word “BEST” and frankly, that’s what sold it to us. What we didn’t anticipate was the amount of chicken that comes with it – the portions were HUGE! The Original Fried Chicken was probably one of the best I’ve ever tasted; it tasted very similar to KFC but much better! You couldn’t see a single drop of oil and the chicken was so tender, it melts in your mouth. You know you’ve got a good fried chicken when you can hear the crunch every time you took a bite. The best thing was you don’t even need any sauce to dip the chicken in.More
