Siheung duck restaurant for marinated duck: Grill Duck

Every weekend, I have lunch with my mom, and last week we went for duck, which she loves. We were planning to shop at E-Mart Traders in Starfield Bucheon after lunch, so I made a reservation at Grill Duck Hangari Barbecue and we headed over.

Grill Duck Hangari Barbecue: the basics

Grill Duck Hangari Barbecue occupies its own building. There is also a large parking lot, so if you are driving, put those parking worries away.

Grill Duck Hangari Barbecue welcomes pets. I guess it is what they call a With Pet restaurant. Even during my visit, I saw a customer come in for lunch with their dog.

A spacious restaurant for weekend family lunches

The floor-to-ceiling windows make the restaurant feel so bright. The interior is spacious too, with plenty of room between tables, so lots of families come here. I even saw two large groups spanning three generations. It can get busy at weekend lunch, so I recommend making a reservation if possible.

Half-and-half duck with fresh duck and jumulleok

True to the name Grill Duck Hangari Barbecue, there are barbecue dishes on the menu. And as a duck specialist, they seem to get lots of orders for grilled fresh duck. We chose the half-and-half duck, which comes with fresh duck and jumulleok (marinated duck). Actually, my mom prefers fresh duck, but... haha.

The basic side dishes were set out first. If you need more, use the self-service bar.

Jumulleok as fresh as the fresh duck

A staff member put the duck jumulleok on the grill first. My mom says she usually does not order jumulleok at duck restaurants because she worries the duck will not be fresh. But at Grill Duck, the sauce is poured over fresh duck right there. The duck was the same quality as the fresh duck—really fresh, and all the more delicious for it. The jumulleok was so much better than I expected!

Mild fresh duck and fried rice

The fresh duck is grilled separately. It was fresh, mild, and delicious too. But... if I had to choose between the fresh duck and the jumulleok, my vote goes to the jumulleok. And you need to have jumulleok if you want the fried rice.

While we were enjoying the duck, they brought out complimentary duck gomtang (clear duck soup). Mm. The clear broth was just right! It was lovely to take spoonfuls of soup alongside the duck.

Fried rice is indispensable after duck jumulleok. Fried in duck fat, it is pleasantly rich, and you simply cannot skip it. Absolutely not... If you order duck at Grill Duck Hangari Barbecue, order the jumulleok and make sure to get the fried rice too.

My mom ordered the perilla oil makguksu (buckwheat noodles) because she wanted it. It was mild, nutty, and delicious.

A lunch with duck freshness near the top

Our family has duck at least once or twice a month. Of all the duck we have had so far, this was almost at the top for freshness. And I still want to have the duck jumulleok again—the duck was delicious, and so was the seasoning. With fried rice to finish, I approve of this as a duck restaurant worth visiting near Starfield Bucheon. We ate until we were full, then took a walk around Starfield Bucheon after lunch—the perfect course.
