Dakidak Farm 다키닥팜

Dakidak Farm is a fresh duck charcoal-grill restaurant near Geumdang Valley in Bongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province. A whole duck is precisely butchered into individual cuts and served for diners to grill themselves on an open charcoal grate. Cooking without oil on the slatted grill eliminates any gaminess, preserving a clean, subtly rich flavor. Each cut is sliced thin enough to sear quickly on both sides like beef, and the variety of textures and flavors across different parts makes the meal engaging. The concept of grilling fatty duck directly over charcoal is itself distinctive, and the grate design prevents the meat from sitting in rendered fat. The accompanying buchu jaeregi (chive seasoning) pairs exceptionally well with the duck. Ordering the sticky rice set brings aged kimchi fried in anchovy oil, which adds deep umami when wrapped around the grilled meat. The myeongnan deulgireum makguksu (cod roe perilla oil noodles) is another strong side dish, and the doenjang-jjigae offers comforting depth. Featured on the popular TV show Suyomisikhoe, the restaurant draws significant crowds even on weekdays, so making a Naver reservation in advance is strongly recommended. Due to the nature of the menu, table turnover is slow, making patience advisable. The dining space is large, clean, and has a well-arranged waiting area. A 500g serving is priced at 50,000 won and serves two adults comfortably.
