Possibly the most crowded and popular fried chicken stall in the Suwon Chicken Street, many koreans from other districts and cities travel here to eat the chicken as Jin Mi Chicken refuses to open franchise outlets, this outlet is their one and only outlet. They only serve 3 types of chicken: original flavour fried chicken, spicy fried chicken and oven roasted chicken. We tried the normal fried chicken and it was amazing, its nothing like KFC or Popeyes, the batter is crispy and fragrant, not salty nor powdery. Side dishes like kimchi and crispy snacks were provided for free. It is recommended to pair the fried chicken with Terra beer for the best Fried Chicken experience. 1 whole chicken only costs 18000 won and can be shared amongst 2 pax.

I don't recommend this place. Service is not very good (dropping the menu on your table, pointing to what you should take without even asking if you want a recommendation, not smiling, and walking away with your food order without even asking if you'd like a drink). But most importantly, food is not great. You have the choice between two dishes: fried chicken, and fried chicken in spicy sauce. The problem is that quantity seems more important than quality here. Plates are huge (the smallest plate is too much for 1 person, and probably even for 2). The chicken seems to be randomly cut, there are bones in almost every chunk on your plate. In some pieces, there's even more bone than meat to eat. The whole stuff is a bit dry, and lacks something to accompany the chicken (there's no rice, salad, fries or anything else...). I was disappointed by this experience in the renowned "Chicken Street" of Suwon. Maybe I didn't choose well the restaurant... Or maybe there all like this one?

I'm quite surprised at the below 4/5 star ratings of this chicken restaurant because my partner and I absolutely enjoyed their crispy and tender fried chicken. The price is affordable too (see my attached pictures). We finished everything with a beer Apparently, this brand "Jin Mi" (진미) is the only official brand and outlet in the entire country. So the other chicken restaurants with the name Jin Mi outside of this particular restaurant at Suwon are all not original. That being said, you should visit this fried chicken place if you're in Suwon. But be mindful that the queues could be quite long

Beyond Suwon, this is a famous chicken restaurant nationwide. It is also overwhelmingly popular in Suwon Fried Chicken Street. The crispy fried food and the not-too-sweet seasoning whet your appetite. There is no time limit for eating, and you can enjoy chicken with beer. It is a large building with two floors, but on weekends, there may be a wait even at non-meal times. In the evening, there are many people drinking beer, so the turnover rate is low, so the wait is longer.

100% fresh made fried chicken on demand. The meat is still juicy and the crust crispy. Especially the crispy fried chciken without sauce and just combined with salt shows the true fresh taste. I really liked the concept of a whole chicken with bones to avoid cherry picking and corresponding waste.

2023.5. 여전히 많은 관광객과 사람들로 북적임. 솔찍히 말하면, 후라이드통닭이나 양념통닭이 다른곳과 딱히 뭔가 다르다고 할순 없지만 이곳의 장점은 갓 튀긴 통닭을 바삭하고 고소하게 먹을수 있으며 생맥주와 한 잔 하면 맥주와 튀김통닭의 조화가 환상적이라는 것. 그리고 수많은 사람들의 인파속에서 분위기에 취해 맛있게 먹는 맛이 좋음. 주차는 역시나 불편함. -------------------- 2018.10.수원 통닭거리의 원조격인 통닭집. 용성통닭과 함께 쌍벽을 이루는 집임. 예전에는 골목 안 사거리 옆에 허름한 1층짜리 건물에서 시작했으나 사업이 잘 되어 바로 근처 건물로 확장 이전개업함. 건물 앞에 차량 몇 대를 댈 수 있는 공간이 있으나 평일은 몰라도 주말은 차량을 가지고 가면 주차는 불가능하다고 봐야 함. 혹시나 낮부터 통닭먹는 사람이 얼마나 있겠어? 생각하고 이곳에 가면 생각와로 많은 사람들이 통닭에 맥주를 마시는 모습에 놀라자빠질수도 있음.ㅎㅎ 통닭은 생닭을 튀겨서 요리하는데 생닭 자체가 맛을 좌우하지는 않고 뭐니뭐니해도 튀겨내는 기름이 생명. 늘 깨끗한 기름으로 타지않게 잘 튀겨내는것이 관건이다보니 이런 부분이 있어 수원 통닭거리의 많은 통닭집들은 잘 튀겨내는 노하우로 인정을 받는듯. 경쟁업체인 용성통닭과 진미통닭은 자기만의 노하우가 있는건지 맛이 서로 다르다보니 혹자는 용성이 낫다.. 또 다른 사람은 진미가 낫다는 의견들이 있음. 통닭거리를 가신다면 두 곳을 각각 들려보는 것이 좋겠지만 하루에 통닭을 두 집이나 가기는 좀...ㅎㅎ 마음이 있다면 시도해 보시길 추천함. 수원의 오랜 토박이 분들께서 하시는 말씀에는 통닭거리에서 좀 떨어진 매향통닭이 원래 더 오래된 원조집이라는 설도 분분함.ㅎㅎ
