The Frypan is a chicken and beer place. It’s pretty awesome.

There about 3 billion fried chicken restaurants in South Korea but I feel The Frypan is the best for these simple reasons:

    The chicken strips are made from actual strips right from the chicken’s breast. Some places give chicken strips that are other chicken parts mashed together into a strip-like fashion.

    They give you a salad. The most recent salad we had came with a wonderfully tangy dressing (not the kiwi salad dressing that most places offer). It also included bananas, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese.

    The dipping sauces go really well with the chicken. There’s a thai chili sauce and like a creamy garlic/mayonnaise-ish sauce which go really well together.

It’s that simple. Check out The Frypan if you get a chance. There’s one in Sinchon (Seoul), one in Geojedo, and one in downtown Daejeon. There’s gotta be more. If you find one, let me know where in the comments!

The lovely server took my picture with a friend of mine and threw it up on his blog. In korean, I think he wrote about everything we ordered and probably said how great a time we had there (which we did). This was taken shortly before we destroyed all of the chicken, chips, beer, and tasty banana salad!

    Word! Frypan takes the cake for chicken in Korea. There is one in Hyehwa (Seoul) and there is one in Jangsan, Haeundae-gu, Busan.

    Couple of days ago, I’ve visited the Frypan in Itaewon. That’s really good. Nice staff (one of them was friendly guy speaking Japanese very well), nice chicken and pretty good source. I’m glad to feel contemporary Seoul air. I’ll go back again soon from Tokyo.

    there are frying pans everywhere!

    there’s one at hanguk university of foreign studies. Anam station, jongno 3 ga and probably most other stations as well. I just found one in anam the other day and it was down a back alley and the one in hanguk is also kind of out of the way.
