Can someone tell me if it still exists? I tried looking for it near Jonggak. |

The franchise still exists in Korea. I've seen them around. Not sure about Jongro though. |

The one that's located on River Hill Road near The Holiday Inn Hotel/Garden Hotel at Mapo Station was there on February 25th of this year. It's about one minute by foot from the hotel and one minute by foot from, I think, Exit 7 of Mapo Station. Ask the people you'd see on the street for directions. Mapo Station is in one of the most affluent and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods of Korea, and I hang there whenever I get the chance as the people, in general, are polite and friendly. |

Thanks! Is it IN the station or just around it? |

It is not in the station. Go out exit 2. Walk maybe 3 minutes and it will be on your left. You will pass a Paris Baguette and a Baskin Robbins. Maybe it is before Baskin Robbins. They are right next to each other regardless. |

There's also one at Korea University, but that's rather a long way to travel for a chicken sandwich. |

There's one by Chungmuro Station (center city lines 3&4).
There's an exit that leads right up to it but if you go out exit 1 and make a u-turn you'll see it on your left after passing the Daehan Movie Theater on the main road. Probably around 100-150 meters. |

The true question is how is the food compared to the Popeye's in the U.S.? Did they Korea-ify it at all? Particularly the Cajun rice or the spicy fried chicken? |

Do they have Cajun rice at popeye's in Korea? Like KFC, it's not really "Koreanized" that much, but they drastically reduce the menu. I still can't believe I can't get mashed potatoes and gravy at KFC. Why bother going there at all? |

It's not nearly as good as it's back in the States. Pretty much the only side is fries and the chicken just doesn't taste the same. |
