NAMSAN is MyTOWN’s new Korean-founded, KL-born stop for Korean chicken specialities, its all-chicken menu ranging from noodle broths to rice bowls. 

Join the Seoul chicken club with NAMSAN's Korean Ginseng Kalguksu, heartwarming and soul-cleansing with chewy knife-cut noodles in restorative ginseng soup, topped with tender chicken leg.

Fried chicken proves a pleasure, confidently crunchy-chunky with fresh-tasting succulence. House dips and sauces pair perfectly with the poultry.

Thoughtful service and honest cooking combine for an enjoyable experience.
