I love fried chicken and Popeye's was one of my favorite brands back in the U.S. Popeye's is in Korea but has declined over the years. There used to be an outlet in Sinchon and Yongsan but both have been closed.

That said, it seems the franchise is making a comeback because Seoul has 27 Popeye's stores. I hope this is the case and also that stuff available from the U.S. outlets are available in Korea.

Luv that chicken from Popeye's!

I hope so! It's good stuff. But there's a fierce market for fried chicken in Korea.

I've seen plenty of them. I know there's one in Nowan, Gangnam, and in Janghanpyeong.

One thing I missed while I was in Korea was the spicy rice mix or red beans and rice mix that some places make so well in the Southwest US.

I think they would be more successful in Korea if they served beer.

I'm back in the US now and I miss Korean chicken-and-beer restaurants!

In the gates of Sejong University, across from Children's Grand Park, is a new building with a Popeyes.

I wish Popeyes in KOrea sold pickled Jalape�o peppers. Those peppers go great with chicken.

Haven't ate at popeyes in a long time, but there's one at Gangnam station now. How much does a bucket of chicken cost? Cuz fried chicken in Korea is a huge rip off, especially Kyochon chicken. It's like 17,000 and it doesn't even fill me up.

Pro tip: In certain modern train stations (Gwangmyeong, Daegu for example) they have "Mom's Touch" restaurants which are just re-branded Popeye's.
