Golmokjip 골목집

A duck specialty restaurant tucked in the alleyways of Mullae-dong's creative village in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, featured on the popular Korean food television program Baekban Gihaeng. The signature two-person set includes duck vegetable bulgogi, ogam-tang (herbal duck stew), and fried rice served in sequence as a full-course meal, enough to satisfy two adults completely. The duck bulgogi is sliced thin like chadol (beef brisket), cooking quickly on the tabletop grill, and wrapping it in lettuce with green onion kimchi brings out a deeply savory flavor. The ogam-tang combines rich duck broth with herbal ingredients to deliver a complex depth of flavor substantial enough to accompany an entire bottle of soju on its own. Adding cheese to the finishing fried rice creates a satisfyingly savory close without any greasiness. The four-person set at 80,000 won adds jjukkumi (baby octopus) alongside the duck bulgogi, providing generous portions that fill four adult men comfortably. Meal kits are available for takeout, allowing the same flavors to be recreated at home, and the side dishes are prepared with visible care. The generous hospitality and warmth of the staff add to the restaurant's appeal. Located deep within the Mullae Creative Village alleys, parking is limited, so leaving the car nearby and walking in is the practical approach. Saturday evenings may involve a wait, but early weekday visits generally allow immediate seating.
