Gangneung Dakgangjeong is popular with new flavors including potato and corn toppings

Gangneung Dakgangjeong is gaining popularity with new flavors and forms, especially around Gangmun Beach. By differentiating itself with toppings like crispy potato fries and corn fries, it is capturing the taste buds of visitors and establishing itself as a must-try food item for Gangneung trips.

Gangneung Gamja Dakgangjeong offers a unique texture with crispy potato fries on top of the chicken, boasting a tender taste from using domestic chicken thigh meat. Gangneung Dakgangjeong Imdangjeom is known for its Corn Dakgangjeong, featuring a spicy flavor comparable to Shin Ramyun and a chewy corn texture. Seoul Yanggye is famous for its garlic soy sauce flavor and offers convenient pickup after phone orders.

Bloggers report high satisfaction despite prices around 28,000 KRW per whole chicken, attributing it to the tender chicken thigh meat (not breast meat) and unique toppings. The corn fries and potato fries, in particular, provide a distinct experience compared to typical dakgangjeong, and many note that the abundance of takeout-focused shops makes it ideal for snacks or late-night meals during travel.
