# Gyeyeolsa, Buam-dong, Seoul: Fried Chicken in a Basket, Noodles on the Side

Gyeyeolsa (계열사) is a fried chicken restaurant in Buam-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Its representative dish is fried chicken served in a bamboo tray with wedge potatoes, according to VisitKorea, the Korea Tourism Organization's travel site, which also says the chicken has a thin, crispy coating.

VisitKorea's English listing names golbaengi guksu (골뱅이 국수), sea snails in a spicy seasoning served with noodles, among Gyeyeolsa's other dishes, along with dakdoritang (닭도리탕), spicy braised chicken.

## The fried chicken basket

*The chicken basket at Gyeyeolsa, November 2021.*

In my photos from November 2021, the chicken comes in a round woven basket lined with crumpled aluminum foil. Fried wings and larger pieces are piled together with thick golden wedges that look like the potato wedges VisitKorea mentions. A blogger who visited on June 25, 2022 says Gyeyeolsa has only one fried chicken, the plain fried one, and that the potatoes are cut big and fried together with the chicken. In that post, Gyeyeolsa's fried chicken is ₩22,000.

## A plate that looks like golbaengi guksu

*A large plate with seasoned vegetables on one side and noodles on the other, November 2021.*

My photos also show a large white plate with a thin dark-green line near its rim. One side holds red-seasoned vegetables, with slices that look like cucumber and onion and brown chunks that look like sea snail pieces. The other side holds a heap of thin noodles with sesame on top.

*The same plate with small bowls of red sauce and pale cubes beside it, November 2021.*

Small bowls of red sauce and pale cubes sit next to the plate, along with an empty white bowl with a thin red ring and a navy rim, and a metal bowl. The June 2022 blogger writes that the owner stressed eating the sea snail salad and the noodles separately instead of mixing them. In that post, Gyeyeolsa's large golbaengi guksu is ₩32,000.

## Gyeyeolsa's hours, waiting and prices

Gyeyeolsa's hours are 12:00–22:40 and it is closed on Mondays, according to VisitKorea's English listing, which shows no update date.

Gyeyeolsa's fried chicken is ₩22,000 and its golbaengi guksu ₩25,000 (small) or ₩32,000 (large) on a menu-card photo of unknown date in the February 2025 post.
