Choongman Chicken Asoke

What this place is

Bangkok branch of the Korean chain Choongman: boneless and crispy fried chicken, open late, good solo or takeaway.

Its price level is $ compared with the other venues in the same building, and it is open daily 11:00–03:00.

A Korean fried chicken shop — double-fried for a crisp skin, then tossed in yangnyeom (sweet-spicy) or ganjang (soy-garlic) sauce. Eaten with beer, the combination Koreans call chimaek.

Good to know before you go

• Open late — One of the late-closing rooms in the building — workable after midnight, though it is worth calling to confirm the real closing time.
• Budget-friendly — Per-head spend is light for a Korean room in Sukhumvit: an everyday meal rather than a celebration.
• Fine for solo diners — Single-plate dishes and seating that does not feel awkward on your own.

Getting there

The venue sits inside Sukhumvit Plaza at the mouth of Sukhumvit Soi 12, Khlong Toei. The easiest route is BTS Asok, Exit 2, then a 300 m walk toward Nana (3–5 minutes). From MRT Sukhumvit take the link to BTS Asok and follow the same walk. From BTS Nana it is about 5 minutes back toward Asok. Driving, there is a basement car park with the entrance on the Soi 12 side: roughly ฿30 for the first 2 hours, then ฿20 per hour. It fills up on Friday and Saturday nights.
