You can pick rice dishes or a sandwich too! Even on a first blind date where you don't know each other's tastes, choosing a menu didn't seem hard. ## Signature Darak omurice (17,000 won) ![Eulji Darak's Darak omurice with sauce poured around it](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-11-1nynb-966.webp) *Darak omurice ₩17,000* The Darak omurice is Eulji Darak's signature dish: a plump omelet sits on top of the rice, with a rich sauce poured around it. Let's start with this one~ ![Darak omurice with an omelet on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-12-ikfe7-966.webp) ![Close-up of Darak omurice with rich sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-13-58lqf-966.webp) I liked that it's their signature: you slice the middle with a knife and the soft egg spreads out to both sides. ![Egg of the Darak omurice sliced open with a knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-14-13269-966.webp) ![A bite of omurice with egg and sauce on rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-15-cy3wd-966.webp) It's great for filming a video too, and you eat it by putting egg and sauce on the rice together, so it was easy and agreeable. ## Spicy crab risotto with a gentle kick (19,000 won) ![Spicy crab risotto topped with crab meat and egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-16-1523a-966.webp) *Spicy crab risotto ₩19,000* The spicy crab risotto had crab meat and an egg yolk on top of an orange-tinted spicy cream risotto. I liked that the food came out fast! ![Crab risotto in orange spicy cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-17-269fn-966.webp) ![Egg yolk on top of the spicy crab risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-18-pwhi9-966.webp) If you break the yolk and mix it in, the spiciness gets a little softer. Because it's spicy, the cream feels less heavy~ ![Spicy crab risotto with the yolk mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-19-1nfo0-966.webp) ![A spoonful of spicy crab risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-20-1uipu-966.webp) If the omurice is the soft dish, the risotto leans slightly spicy, so ordering them together worked well! ## Katsu sando to share on the side (12,000 won) ![Eulji Darak katsu sando cut into 4 pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-21-1hlb2-966.webp) *Katsu sando ₩12,000* Eulji Darak's katsu sando is a sandwich with a thick pork cutlet, cut into easy-to-eat sizes. It comes as 4 pieces, so it's a good dish to share~ ![Cross-section of katsu sando with a thick pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-22-19t9g-966.webp) ![Katsu sando with sauce and cherry tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto/gangnam-blind-date-omurice-crab-risotto-23-n8i1b-m-966.webp) It comes with sauce and cherry tomatoes on the side. It's good to add when omurice and risotto alone feel a bit short, and it would be fine to share with a group too. ## Eulji Darak Gangnam at a glance - Mood: recommended for blind dates and dates.
