TUESDAY · REVIEW-BASED SHORTLIST

Hi, I’m JO PIGGY. Andong's jjimdak alley has so many signs that your decision-making skills may get hungry before you do.

Jjimdak braises chicken with potatoes, vegetables and glass noodles in a sweet-savory soy sauce. Chili can turn up the heat, so ask before ordering. The noodles absorb sauce like they have a full-time job; do not leave them waiting too long.

One stop is in the old market, while two pair neatly with a Hahoe Village trip.

Three places to consider

1. Andong Sinsegae Jjimdak

In the old market's jjimdak alley, reviewers like ample portions, sweet-savory sauce and glass noodles. Boneless and takeaway options make this an appealing stop if you would rather chase noodles than chicken bones.

2. Wasong Restaurant, Andong

Near Hahoe Village, a set can bring jjimdak and salted mackerel to the same table. Reviews praise the sauce-soaked chicken and noodles and the friendly service. Two Andong classics, one fewer menu debate.

3. Mokseokwon

Wooden guardian figures greet you before a generous table. Reviews mention moist chicken, balanced seasoning and mackerel alongside the pot. There is also a kimchi jjimdak option; ask about the heat level.

One last bite

Pick Sinsegae for the market-alley energy, Wasong for jjimdak and salted mackerel near Hahoe, or Mokseokwon for kimchi jjimdak and a roomy meal. Keep one eye on the last strand of glass noodles.

Curated from Korean reviews, not first-hand dining. Wasong and Mokseokwon map links point to verified road addresses; confirm current menus, spice levels and opening hours.
