The Story Behind the Table

Featured on Netflix’s docuseries Midnight Asia: Eat · Dance · Dream, Eongteori Chicken is a legendary, time-tested pub (Hof) in Itaewon’s Gyeongridan-gil. Famous for its ultra-crispy, old-school fried chicken and nostalgic retro atmosphere, it offers a world-renowned, authentic "Chimaek" (chicken and beer) experience loved by both locals and global night owls for decades.

[Atmosphere & Features] Featured on Netflix’s docuseries Midnight Asia: Eat · Dance · Dream, Eongteori Chicken is a landmark that represents the dynamic nightlife of Itaewon. Instead of flashiness, it offers a nostalgic retro vibe and a rustic interior that carry the passage of time. Here, you can fully experience the atmosphere of an authentic Korean old-school pub (Hof), which has served as a cozy gathering place for locals and late-night patrons for decades. [Signature Dishes] - Old-School Fried Chicken: Characterized by its thin, rustically fried batter, this classic chicken offers the ultimate crispiness from the very first bite. The savory, subtly salty flavor blends with the rich juices, showcasing the true essence of original K-chicken. - The Chimaek Combination: Paired with ice-cold draft beer and a nostalgic shredded cabbage salad tossed in ketchup and mayonnaise, it delivers a flawless balance of flavors. [Ordering & Dining Tips] - Perfect for Late Nights & Second-Round Drinks: It is the ideal spot for a "second round" (2-cha) to wrap up your day while soaking in Itaewon’s vibrant nocturnal energy. On weekend nights, local regulars and global travelers mingle, creating an energetic and bustling atmosphere unique to classic Korean pubs. - Warm, No-Frills Service: Rather than sophisticated or standardized service, coming with an expectation of the friendly, rustic charm of a neighborhood auntie (Imo-nim) makes the experience much more delightful. Since the venue focuses strictly on its single star menu—fried chicken—it is highly recommended to simply order chicken and beer based on your party size without hesitation. [What to Expect] You will discover the most unpretentious, lively, and authentic local nightlife hidden behind the trendy, modern facade of Seoul. Create an unforgettable Itaewon night with their time-tested, ultra-crispy chicken and a glass of refreshing cold beer.
