Review

If you have visited Korea before, you must know that Korean chickens are extra special! Almost all Koreans and foreigners love Korean chicken.   If you are traveling with a Korean friend they will definitely take you to have chicken at least once. Many Koreans tend to order chicken to their homes, but this time we visited the BBQ Chicken restaurant to have it on site.  

It was refreshing to eat outside in a while, and it tasted even better than we thought! Let's take a look at what it was like! 

BBQ Myeongdong Star is located on the 2nd floor. Windows are really wide and in summer it would be cool to get some fresh air through the balcony. BBQ Myeongdong Star branch's real name is BBQ Chicken & Beer and specializes in Chimaek! Of course it is fine not to order a beer, but if you are a chicken and beer lover this is the place for you   

This is how the entrance looks like. It is located in the middle of Myeongdong shopping district, so it is nice to drop by while you are shopping! 

Let's see what they have on 2nd floor~

Before you enter, there's a fun photo zone with many chicken related items like this huge drum stick! It would be nice to leave a photo here to cherish the moment. 

Check the Creatrip mark on the entrance before you enter!   

Inside was much roomier than we expected. There are lots of seats, so you won't have to wait much to enter. 

It's more of a pub than a chicken restaurant. Cool atmosphere to have a good chat with your friend.

There were large size windows on the side which made the place feel like an open space! We took the seat by the windows. 

Did you know that "Crash Landing On You" which was a huge hit was sponsored by BBQ Chicken? There's actually a scene where they have the "Golden Olive Chicken" in the drama!   

We couldn't help ourselves from ordering same Golden Olive Chicken. We ordered it half seasoned and half fried to taste different flavors at once.

After we placed an order basic dishes were served. Rice puff, which is served in all pubs in Korea, white radish and plastic gloves were given. Plastic gloves are given so you can eat your chicken without getting your fingers dirty. 

At last, chicken is served. After we had some cheese balls it came out right away~ Maybe because there weren't so many people by the time we visited. 

We ordered half & half menu to taste all of them. If you don't know which one you would like more, just order half of each to enjoy all of them.

Colors are real vivid. It tastes real nice too! BBQ chickens are fried with good olive oil so it is not so greasy, and  you can enjoy it till the end! If you think chickens are too greasy, try this Golden Olive Chicken.

This is a hand of a 6ft tall guy! You can see how large these drum sticks are. Quality and quantity of the chicken were both satisfying! 

This is the chicken breast. May be it's because of the olive oil, it wasn't so dry but moist. I personally like chicken breasts and these Golden Olive Chicken really satisfied me!

We personally think Korean chicken is the best type you can get out of all the chicken in the world. And this chicken was seasoned with sweet and delicious chicken sauce all over, which made this a real satisfying meal for us. 

It has been a while since we visited a restaurant for chicken. It wouldn't make sense to visit Myeongdong just for this BBQ, but if you are planning to visit Myeongdong for shopping or any other reasons it would be nice to drop by and enjoy these chickens with reasonable prices! 

Just writing this review is making us hungry here at Creatrip! 

If you are a chimaek lover, don't forget to try it when you visit Korea. If you are planning to travel nearby, use our tickets to get exclusive benefits!   

Just another reminder! You get free cheese balls if you eat chicken on site, or get ₩1,000 discount if you order it to go. Don't forget to get all the benefits you can get.
