Hanjan is a Korean restaurant inside Sukhumvit Plaza (Korean Town) in Bangkok, known for Korean fried chicken. It has been open since 2002. It was formerly called Salroman Chimac — same team, same fried chicken recipe, new name. The signature dish is yangnyeom chicken, fried to order and tossed in sweet-spicy sauce, eaten with soju or beer the way Koreans call chimaek. Side dishes are refilled free. BBQ is grilled in the kitchen and served ready to eat — you never grill your own meat, there is no grill on the table, and no smoke smell on your clothes.
The dishes regulars come back for — start with the fried chicken, then work through the BBQ and stews.
BBQ is grilled in the kitchen and served ready to eat — no grilling, no burnt meat, no guessing.

The dish that made this place known back in its Salroman Chimac days. Fried to order. Yangnyeom is tossed in sweet-spicy Korean sauce, crisp outside and soft inside; original comes plain for anyone who does not eat spicy. With a cold beer it is the real Korean chimaek.

Hanjan is inside Sukhumvit Plaza on Soi Sukhumvit 12, Sukhumvit Road, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110. Bangkokians and the local Korean community call the building “Korea Town” because every floor is Korean restaurants, a Korean supermarket and Korean shops. The plaza sits between the Nana and Asok intersections, about 300 m from BTS Asok (exit on the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit side) and a 5 minute walk from MRT Sukhumvit. Across Sukhumvit Road is the Times Square Building; walk toward the Asok intersection and you reach Exchange Tower, Interchange 21 and the Terminal 21 mall, while BTS Nana is roughly 400 m in the other direction near Soi 4 (walking guide from BTS Asok).
Hanjan’s regulars are office workers from the Asok–Sukhumvit business district who come for lunch and after-work dinners, Korean families living along Sukhumvit Soi 12 to 24, students who shop at the Korean supermarket in the same building, and travellers staying at nearby hotels such as the Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit and Westin Grande Sukhumvit, all within a 10 minute walk. The kitchen stays open until 23:00, so late-night soju and beer after dinner is common, and on rainy evenings guests around Sukhumvit order through LINE MAN, GrabFood and foodpanda.
The kitchen cooks Seoul-style Korean food the same way it has since 2002 under the name Salroman Chimac. The chicken is double-fried for a crisp skin, then tossed in yangnyeom (sweet-spicy), soy garlic, teriyaki or hot sauce and served with beer, “chimaek” style. Grilled dishes such as samgyeopsal, galbi and gopchang are finished in the kitchen, so there is no smoke at the table. Hot pots include budae jjigae, sundubu jjigae and cheese dak galbi, and galbi-jjim braised beef short ribs is the chef’s recommendation. Every table gets banchan such as kimchi, pickled vegetables and pickled radish with free refills. Hanjan is ranked in Wongnai’s TOP 5 Korean fried chicken restaurants and has been featured by Kin Kub Pete, Don-Jai, Ryoiireview, OKnation and Chillpainai.
