Located near the Dongdaemun Market, Dongdaemun Dak Hanmari Alley gets its name from the restaurants serving dak hanmari (whole chicken soup) that line the alley.
Dak hanmari (whole chicken soup), literally “one whole chicken” in Korean, is a dish where a whole chicken is boiled in a soup and served with the alley’s special sauce.
After the diners eat the meat, the broth is used to make kalguksu (noodle soup).
Because the area is home to large-scale apparel and fashion material markets of the Dongdaemun Market, the district is always lively and bustling.
