Apgujeong Tent Bar: Korean Street Vibes in the Heart of TST

For those craving authentic Korean flavors in a casual, late-night setting, Apgujeong Tent Bar in Tsim Sha Tsui delivers the perfect fix. Styled after the cozy pojangmacha (tent bars) that dot Seoul’s streets, this lively spot brings the energy of South Korea’s drinking culture straight to Knutsford Terrace. It’s a place where groups gather for hearty sharing plates, cold beers, and shochu-fueled nights.

The menu spans all the Korean crowd-pleasers—spicy tofu jjigae, bubbling hotpots, seafood pancakes, cold noodles, and teppanyaki-style meats. But the star of the show is, without doubt, the Korean fried chicken. Double-fried to golden crispiness, it arrives piping hot with a sweet-and-spicy dipping sauce and crunchy pickled turnips. The result is a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with a frosty pint of beer, even if the seasoning leans more toward fusion than strictly traditional.

Compared to nearby Chum Chum Mi, Apgujeong’s version feels more complete: crisp, saucy, and made for sharing into the late hours. Add in the bustling atmosphere, K-pop tunes, and affordable prices, and you’ve got one of TST’s go-to destinations for casual Korean feasting.
