Yeongmi Ori-tang Gunja 영미오리탕 군자점

Yeongmi Oritang Gunja Branch is a duck soup restaurant in Gunja-dong, Gwangjin-gu, originating from the Gwangju main branch. The signature is a perilla-seed duck soup: the broth is thick with ground perilla seeds, delivering a rich nuttiness that is warming yet easy on the stomach. The duck is tender and well-cooked. Dipping minari (water parsley) in chojang makes an excellent palate cleanser. Ordering a whole roast duck includes a complimentary serving of duck soup, allowing diners to enjoy both preparations. Finishing with porridge rounds out the meal. Waits are common but the restaurant calls when your turn comes, and pre-ordering the menu speeds up service.
