Gangnam Chicken

One of the closest kitchens to the NDSM ferry dock, Gangnam Chicken does the Korean fried chicken canon properly: shattering crust, juicy inside, sauces from honey-garlic to a spicy version that means it. Crunchy sweet-potato fries, fried cauliflower and pickled veg round it out, and the quiet upstairs seating doubles as a workspace on slow mornings. It's casual, quick and inexpensive — exactly the antidote when the surrounding NDSM spots feel too scene-y. Step off the ferry hungry and you're eating within ten minutes.
