Description

Have you ever heard of “Chimak” instead of “Chimaek”? ⭐️ Chimak is the unique pairing of chicken and makguksu (buckwheat noodles), and this very restaurant is said to be the original home of it! At first, it might sound unusual, but the chicken here is made a little differently from what you’d expect. The owner originally ran a galbi restaurant serving makguksu, but after switching to a chicken house, customers still kept asking for makguksu. That led to the idea: “What if we made chicken using buckwheat, the base ingredient of makguksu?” From that inspiration came the one-of-a-kind buckwheat chicken. Though unexpected, chicken and makguksu turn out to be a surprisingly perfect match ✨. The chicken here is coated in a special buckwheat-based batter, making it thinner and lighter than regular fried chicken. The coating blends buckwheat flour, starch, and turmeric powder for added color and flavor. The chicken is delicious on its own, but dipping it into their house-made Chungju apple sauce adds a refreshing tang you won’t find anywhere else—don’t miss it! While enjoying the chicken, if the richness lingers, the accompanying makguksu will refresh your palate. Take a sip of the chilled, clean broth first, then savor the chewy, nutty buckwheat noodles. The noodles aren’t too spicy, so even kids can enjoy them. Pro tip: tear a piece of chicken and eat it together with the makguksu! Because the coating is so light, the chicken blends seamlessly with the noodles, creating a unique harmony you’ll never forget.
