Wonjo Jangsu Tongdak

Top choice in Jeollanam-do


Hungry? Come here to feast on tongdak (통닭), chicken served in two courses. First comes a tabletop stir-fry of chicken marinated in a tangy, spicy sauce, followed by the rest of the bird and mung-bean rice porridge. The whole thing, which costs ₩60,000, is meant to serve four. The restaurant is in a brick building with a red sign.

It's halfway between Haenam bus terminal and Daeheung-sa, along the bus route; get off at the Dolgogae bus stop.
