On a weekend evening after a day at Seoul Land, the writer waited more than 30 minutes, parked in the public lot right next door because Deo Chadol's own lot was full, and ordered the 55,000-won couple course: grilled duck chadol, spicy raw duck stir-fry, doenjang stew, and self-serve fried rice. The run from mild grilled duck to spicy stir-fry to fried rice made Deo Chadol a filling dinner stop after a day out. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Couple course 55,000 won (grilled duck chadol + spicy raw duck stir-fry + doenjang stew + self-serve fried rice) - **Signature dishes**: Grilled duck chadol, spicy raw duck stir-fry - **Location**: 2-minute walk from Exit 3, Seonbawi Station - **Parking**: Private lot on site; public lot right next door when full - **Wait**: Seated after more than 30 minutes on a weekend evening - **Hours**: 11:00–21:30 / weekday break 15:00–17:00 - **Price reference**: ₩55,000 ≈ $40.5 (2026-09-16) *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Main image of duck chadol BBQ at Deo Chadol in Gwacheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-01-h8eyd-1200.webp) Deo Chadol, a Gwacheon restaurant known for its duck chadol (thin-sliced duck) BBQ, near Seoul Land. ![Exterior of Deo Chadol restaurant in Gwacheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-02-1p20x-966.webp) Last weekend I went to Seoul Land and stopped by Deo Chadol, a Gwacheon restaurant, for dinner afterward. ![Entrance of Deo Chadol with a TV feature notice posted](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-03-1krzd-m-966.webp) This is the place featured on KBS's Baedalwatsuda as a restaurant recommended by actor Ryu Seung-ryong. I remembered it being delicious from a previous visit, so I went back after a while. ## How to find Deo Chadol, and where to park when its lot is full Deo Chadol is a 2-minute walk from Exit 3 of Seonbawi Station, so it's easy to reach by public transit. It's also close to Seoul Land, the National Science Museum, and Seoul Grand Park, making it a convenient stop after a day out. ![View of the Deo Chadol building near Seonbawi Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-04-18e1v-966.webp) There's a dedicated parking lot, which makes driving convenient too, but on the day I visited the wait was so long that the lot filled up, so I parked at the public lot right next door instead. ![Deo Chadol's dedicated parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-05-18192-966.webp) ## How long is the weekend evening wait at Deo Chadol? On a weekend evening we waited over 30 minutes before getting seated. A few months earlier the wait hadn't been this long, but the place has clearly gotten famous as a Gwacheon restaurant, because the line was huge. The interior is clean and fairly spacious. ![Waiting area at Deo Chadol on a weekend evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-06-z62w9-m-966.webp) ![Spacious seating inside Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-07-tac66-m-966.webp) ![Wall covered in celebrity autographs at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-08-1qepi-m-966.webp) Maybe because the owner is an actor, lots of celebrities have visited too — the walls were covered in autographs. ## Deo Chadol menu and prices Deo Chadol's signature dishes are grilled duck chadol and spicy raw duck stir-fry. We ordered the couple course, made up of grilled duck chadol, spicy raw duck stir-fry, doenjang stew (soybean paste stew), and self-fried rice. ![Duck menu board at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-09-goq9r-966.webp) ![Course menu composition guide at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-10-183pu-966.webp) ![Meal menu sign at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-11-1xzfe-966.webp) ![Menu price list at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-12-1uffu-966.webp) ## Side dishes and the self-serve bar at Deo Chadol The basic table setting came with lettuce wraps and garlic, ssamjang (dipping sauce), salad, kimchi, and more. Duck meat tends to be a bit fatty, so tangy, salty side dishes like pickled perilla leaves paired well, cleansing the palate. ![Basic table setting with lettuce wraps and kimchi at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-13-lbtgy-966.webp) You could freely grab more side dishes from the self-serve bar as needed. ![Self-serve side dish bar at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-14-1ctuw-966.webp) ## The 55,000-won couple course: grilled duck chadol first Deo Chadol's couple course is ₩55,000 and includes grilled duck chadol, spicy raw duck stir-fry, doenjang stew, and self-fried rice. The grilled duck chadol came out first. ![Duck chadol grilling on the pan at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-15-1uiqm-966.webp) The duck chadol is made by hand-trimming raw duck, quick-freezing it, and slicing it thin, apparently. It was grilled together with minari (water dropwort) and onion, and being so thin, it cooked quickly. ![Duck chadol grilled with minari and onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-16-1rf4p-966.webp) Even though it's raw duck, there wasn't a trace of gamey smell — it had a savory, clean flavor. It was tender rather than chewy, so easy to eat too. ![A piece of duck chadol dipped in special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-17-17pza-966.webp) Dipped in the special sauce and wrapped in a radish pickle or perilla leaf, the flavor got even richer and more fragrant with the sauce's umami — I kept reaching for more. Dipped lightly in salt, my kid loved it too. ![Duck chadol BBQ wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-18-2eut2-966.webp) ![Doenjang stew served with the couple course](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-19-qnwx8-966.webp) The couple course also comes with doenjang stew. Since eating duck chadol leaves some oiliness in the mouth, spooning up the hearty doenjang stew in between bites helped clean the palate. ![Table setting with doenjang stew and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-20-gn1ty-966.webp) ## Spicy raw duck stir-fry and self-serve fried rice Once we finished the duck chadol, we called a staff member and they brought out the duck stir-fry right away. Unlike the grilled duck chadol, this one comes with a spicy secret sauce. ![Spicy raw duck stir-fry with sweet potato and rice cake on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-21-v30t4-966.webp) You eat the sweet potato once it's cooked through — before that, I tried the rice cake first, and the spicy-sweet sauce clung to it perfectly. ![Spicy raw duck stir-fry coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-22-10dz9-966.webp) The sauce soaked well into the duck meat, giving it full umami flavor, and the spicy yet subtly sweet taste made me crave rice. ![Fried rice ingredients added to leftover stir-fry sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-23-10j9u-966.webp) With the leftover sauce from the stir-fry, we added the fried rice ingredients and stir-fried it up properly. ![Self-fried rice stir-fried in the sauce at Deo Chadol](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course/gwacheon-thechadol-duck-couple-course-24-1hd64-966.webp) The savory duck fat combined with the umami-packed stir-fry sauce soaked thoroughly into the rice — it was really delicious. I was full, but scraped the pan clean to the last bite. ## Is Deo Chadol worth it? The verdict From savory grilled duck chadol to spicy duck stir-fry, doenjang stew, and fried rice, Deo Chadol in Gwacheon offered a satisfying, filling meal.
