Andong Market Jjimdak Alley

Andong Market Jjimdak Alley is a clustered street of jjimdak restaurants in central Andong's traditional market area, specializing in Andong jjimdak — the city's signature dish, a braised chicken-and-noodle preparation with a distinctive sweet-soy-and-spicy seasoning that has become one of Korea's most-cited regional culinary specialties. The Andong jjimdak tradition dates back several decades to when Andong-area restaurants began specializing in the dish, and the alley has long been the main destination for visitors wanting to sample several styles in one walking loop. Each restaurant uses its own family recipe within the broader Andong jjimdak tradition. Best paired with broader Andong cultural-and-food day-trip itineraries.
