Recently I visited Ddukdo Nongwon (Seongsu-dong, Seoul), a well-known eatery famous for its roast duck dishes.

Since we were a group of six, we made a reservation in advance to avoid waiting. It’s important to note that all members of your party must arrive on time; if even one person is late, your reservation could be canceled after a 10-minute grace period.

The moment you step inside, you can tell you’re in a trendy, thoughtfully designed space. Conveniently, there’s a storage compartment where you can stash your coat and bag.

The interior is much larger than I expected, with a modern and stylish vibe. However, the acoustics make it hard to hear conversations clearly, especially in a busy, lively environment like this one.

Tong Ori (roast duck)  98,000 won

 

We kicked off our dinner with their signature dish, Tong Ori (roast duck).

Once the duck and vegetables were heated, a staff member came to our table to carve the meat right before our eyes.

While grilling the first serving, the staff also explained how to pair the sauces and sides for maximum flavor. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch everything he said, but I later noticed a handy infographic on the table that detailed how to enjoy each sauce and component.

 

*​ Lemon salt + salted pepper : together with breast meat

* Sesame leaf pesto : leg meat, back meat (+cornstarch bread)

* Yuja Gochujang : Busok Modeum (assorted meat) for dipping

 

Every dish was incredibly delicious. Alongside the Tong Ori, we also ordered Busok Modeum (an assorted meat platter) and an extra dish of Yeontan Jumulleog (spicy seasoned duck). Both were outstanding, and the flavors left a lasting impression.

Unfortunately, the kitchen was already closed by the time we were ready for more, so I missed out on trying their duck soup, a regret for next time!

If you ever find yourself in Seongsu-dong, Ddukdo Nongwon is a must-visit destination for its excellent roast duck and inviting ambiance. The combination of flavorful food, attentive service, and stylish interiors makes it a memorable dining experience.
