Ask about fried chicken in Wonju and this name comes up. Nambu Tongdak opened in 1977 in Gaeun-dong and is now run by the third generation in the same spot.

In 1977 franchise chicken did not exist in Korea. Tongdak meant a whole bird dropped into oil — a different lineage from the sauced, portioned chicken of today.

The method has not changed: a heavy cast-iron cauldron, large domestic birds, and exactly three items on the menu.

Menu

1

Fried (plain)

₩21,000

Why this one — The baseline. The cauldron’s thick iron wall keeps the oil from dropping when the bird goes in, so the crust sets before the inside dries out.

Fried (plain)
2

Yangnyeom (sweet-spicy)

₩22,000

Why this one — The batter is thin enough that the glaze takes a while to soften it. Sweet-forward rather than hot.

3

Ganjang (soy-garlic)

₩22,000

Why this one — Carried by garlic and soy aroma rather than salt, so it does not bury the fry itself.

Half and half

₩22,000~23,000

Why this one — The birds are large, so splitting still leaves a proper portion of each.
