Jongson Andong Jjimdak
종손안동찜닭
A long-standing shop in the braised-chicken alley of Andong's old market, cooking in front of the store and offering several styles of Andong braised chicken.
The braised-chicken alley at Andong's old market is home to about 30 chicken shops and is considered the birthplace of soy-braised chicken. Jongson Jjimdak sits inside the alley, with a stove at the front where chicken is braised over high heat, so you can watch and choose. The menu offers several styles of Andong braised chicken, mild or spicy. The dish is cooked with potatoes, carrots, onions and glass noodles, finished with spinach and green onion. One portion costs about KRW 32,000 and serves 2–3 people; rice is ordered separately. It is quiet between the lunch rush and early evening, takeaway is available, and a public car park sits right beside the old market.
