Three of us shared Dalak Omelet Rice (17,000 won), Dalak Rose Pasta (19,000 won) and Flat Carbonara (19,000 won) with 4 extra pieces of bread, and although every dish had a different sauce, all three were good enough that the bread wiped the plates clean.

Eulji Darak Gangnam Station is on the 2nd floor at 22 Gangnam-daero 96-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. It's an easy walk from Gangnam Station Exits 11 and 12. - Address: 2F, 22 Gangnam-daero 96-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:30 – 21:15 - Last order: 20:30 This is based on the most recently confirmed store info, so I'd recommend double-checking hours and menu prices before you go. ## Is that really the door? Finding the Eulji Darak entrance When we arrived at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station and tried to walk in, something was a little strange right from the start — the entrance! ![What looks like the entrance door of Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-03-17vfv-561.webp) *Sure looks like the door..* Naturally, like in the photo above, I assumed this was the door hah. But look above the door! That spot right there — it was NOT the door!!! ![The actual store entrance of Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-04-3wtv2-565.webp) *But this is the real door..* ![The twist entrance of Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-05-pceor-560.webp) *Haha, what a twist* But once you go through, this turns out to be the real entrance! It felt pretty different from a typical restaurant entrance, so it was fun even before we sat down haha. Little details like this mean first-time visitors will probably remember the place from the moment they walk in. ## Inside Eulji Darak Gangnam Station: the mood and the self-serve water ![Interior decor of Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-06-1whde-557.webp) ![Cute, tidy interior of Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-07-ylgqs-571.webp) Once inside, the vibe completely changed.

But honestly, what I liked most about the meal was that every single dish had such a great sauce! Let me show you each one. ### Dalak Omelet Rice, 17,000 won ![A plate of Dalak Omelet Rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-15-admxc-562.webp) *Check the video above, it's amazing* First up, Dalak Omelet Rice! Just from the look of it, it seemed delicious. ![Dalak Omelet Rice cut open to show the soft omelet](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-16-1h08k-561.webp) *So soft and fluffy..* Eating the soft omelet with the fried rice, plus the omelet rice sauce on top, was a great combo. The sauce especially was so good. Eating it with the sauce made the whole dish feel so much richer than plain omelet rice. If you like omelet rice, you'll probably enjoy this one no problem haha. ### Dalak Rose Pasta, 19,000 won ![Dalak Rose Pasta topped with cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-17-mnnm5-568.webp) *The cream on top is the highlight* Next, the Dalak Rose Pasta, which I genuinely enjoyed that day! ![Close-up of rose pasta with ground meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-18-1qzcs-561.webp) *Loaded with ground meat!* Sauce is everything with rose pasta, and this one was really good. It had a slightly spicy kick, so it wasn't too heavy, and the noodles paired well with the sauce. What I really loved was mixing it with the creamy part — it turned out sweet and spicy at the same time! Honestly, this sauce is the reason we ended up ordering extra bread later lol. ### Flat Carbonara, 19,000 won ![Flat Carbonara made with paccheri noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-19-awg55-565.webp) *That visual is insane,,* Next up, the Flat Carbonara! Instead of regular spaghetti noodles, it uses wide paccheri noodles, so it looked a bit different visually too. ![Close-up of Flat Carbonara topped with bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-20-1xqee-560.webp) *That bacon looks so hearty* The cream sauce coated the noodles perfectly, and yeah, this one was delicious too. If you're a fan of cream sauce, you'll probably love this dish. We split all three dishes among us that day, and since each one had a totally different flavor profile, it was great to order a bunch and share. ### Adding 4 pieces of bread for the sauce ![4 extra pieces of bread ordered as a side](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-21-12dk2-562.webp) *Good sauce always needs bread* And then we added 4 pieces of bread. This was genuinely a great call lol, because like I said, every dish that day had such a good sauce. ![Dipping bread into leftover pasta sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-22-xr980-560.webp) *This is exactly it..* Dipping the bread into the leftover sauce was so good too. It's always a little sad when there's leftover sauce after finishing pasta, so adding bread meant we got to enjoy every last bit of it. If you're like me and love a good sauce, I'd definitely recommend adding bread too haha. ## Why all three dishes worked together ![Empty plates wiped clean of sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce/euljidarak-gangnam-hidden-door-sauce-23-1j2n3-562.webp) *Basically already washed..* What I realized eating that day was: "this place really knows how to make sauce!" > The omelet rice sauce was great in the Dalak Omelet Rice, the rose sauce was great in the Dalak Rose Pasta, and the cream sauce was a perfect match for the Flat Carbonara too. Each dish had a different flavor direction, but they all shared genuinely good sauces, which made the whole meal feel even better. Ordering several dishes and sharing them like we did seems like a solid strategy here. ## Who should eat at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station? - Anyone looking for a Gangnam Station date spot - Anyone looking for a Gangnam Station blind date spot - Anyone looking for a Gangnam Station wedding invitation meetup spot - Anyone looking for a good-atmosphere restaurant near Gangnam Station - Fans of omelet rice and pasta - Anyone who wants to try a bunch of different Western dishes at once The atmosphere really is good for chatting while eating, so it seems well-suited for dates or blind dates where you're doing a lot of talking. And since the menu covers pasta, omelet rice, risotto, gnocchi, and steak, it also seemed like a good pick for visiting with people who have different tastes. ## Final verdict on Eulji Darak Gangnam Station Overall, we enjoyed all three dishes we ordered that day, and what stuck with me most was how good every single sauce was. At first I worried that ordering three dishes might be too much, but sharing them around actually let us enjoy a different flavor from each one haha. And adding bread to mop up the leftover sauce meant we finished the meal on a high note all the way to the end.
