“Korea’s representative spicy chicken stew with the tradition of 60 years”

Since 1965

Jongro Kelim Dakdoritang started its business under the name “Kelim Restaurant” in a narrow alley in Jongno 3-ga, Seoul in 1965. Kelim Dakdoritang literally mean “chicken forest” and “spicy chicken stew” in Korean. Kelim’s Dakdoritang has been best loved by many people because of the restaurant’s perseverance with serving only one menu, spicy chicken stew with garlic, for 60 years. Based on Jongro Kelim Dakdoritang’s unique recipe which has been passed down in secret through generations, Kelim serves spicy chicken stew with a lot of minced garlic and soup which is not a typical Dakdoritang that you could find in Korea. We would like to thank all of you who love Jongro Kelim Dakdoritang and commit to serve the unchanging taste from generation to generation.
