Why we send people here

Chicken fried twice and tossed in a sticky sweet-spicy glaze, sold by the box. The original counter has been in Sinpo Market since 1985, and the queue is the proof.

Why it earns the hours
  • Our number 3 for Incheon, out of ten. It is the first thing we would spend the hours on.
  • Short enough to be certain of: 2 hr door to door, so even a tender day works.
The story

Why Dakgangjeong at Sinpo Market is famous

Sinpo Market grew from a fish and vegetable market beside the old port and was registered as a market in 1970. Dakgangjeong, chicken fried twice and glazed, was sold here from 1985, and the original counter still has the queue. Order a box, not a plate; it is eaten walking.

Where to have it

Three places, three different answers

The one the queue agrees on, the one people who live here use instead, and the one nearest your ship. Opening days change; check before you build a day around one.

Where it is

Dakgangjeong at Sinpo Market and your ship

Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.

The arithmetic

Where the 2 hr goes

Counted from the moment you step off the gangway. The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside.

Out28 minTaxi or city shuttle
There1 hr 4 minWhat you came for
Back28 minTo the gangway

28 minutes each way is the honest figure for taxi or city shuttle, not the optimistic one. If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 4 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.

The one rule: be back on board 60 minutes before all-aboard. Build the whole day on the Incheon plan page.
