MealFood & marketsIndoorNo reservations; expect a weekend lunch wait

This big dakgalbi house stands on the road leading toward Soyang Dam and is regularly named in Chuncheon dakgalbi rankings. A large dining hall seats many groups, but at weekend lunch there is still a line, and it is not possible to reserve. The iron-plate chicken comes with the usual cabbage, sweet potato and rice cakes, and staff handle the cooking.

Its location makes it a natural meal after the dam or the temple, when you are hungry and happy to eat. Spice level and extras can be adjusted. Prices and hours may change, and the car park is large for drivers.

Arriving after 14:00 usually shortens the wait.

Getting there

A city bus from Chuncheon Station toward Soyang Dam takes about 20 minutes to the Sinsaembat-ro area; there is a large lot at the restaurant. (Show a driver: 통나무집닭갈비 본점)
