Duck restaurant near Bakchon Station with a toddler: Ganaandeok

Hi everyone :) Today's post is about Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch, a duck grill restaurant in Gyeyang, Incheon known for fresh, non-greasy duck.

Where Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch is, and how parking works near Bakchon Station

Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch is a duck grill restaurant at 1038 Jangje-ro, close to Bakchon Station in Gyeyang, Incheon. The Incheon Children's Science Museum is nearby, so we stopped in for a meal with our baby Tangtangi after a day of exploring the museum!

The place is so large that it's hard to fit the whole exterior into one photo, but that makes it easy to spot 👍🏻

With a restaurant this big, the parking lot is spacious too, so parking is never a worry! I heard it stays open through Korean holidays, so it's a good pick for family meals or small gatherings 😊

Inside Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch: partitioned seats and the self-serve bar

The interior of this Bakchon Station restaurant was bright and comfortable, and clean without any greasy residue despite being a grill place! I also liked the wide gaps between tables, and there were even partitioned private spaces that would work great for work dinners〰️ There are two self-serve bar stations in the middle of the hall, so you can freely help yourself 😇 (the self-serve bar was kept spotless too!)

Here's the menu at this Gyeyang restaurant, Ganaandeok. Ganaandeok specializes in duck grilled over charcoal, using only carefully selected fresh domestic duck — raw duck, smoked duck, and duck jumulleok charcoal grill, plus duck baeksuk with neungi mushroom and seasoned pork ribs, all available!

Ordering the whole raw duck charcoal grill: what comes to the table

We ordered the whole raw duck charcoal grill (생오리숯불구이 한마리) at Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch. The basic table setting came out right after ordering!

As mentioned above, there's a self-serve bar so you can freely top up any side dishes you run out of〰️ The side dishes were served neat and tidy, and the variety all paired well with the duck!

Right away they brought out the charcoal and set down three foil-wrapped sweet potatoes. Then a good portion of duck was placed on top — duck that looked incredibly fresh at a glance 👍🏻

Ganaandeok near Bakchon Station grills carefully selected fresh domestic duck over charcoal, which really drains the fat! Unlike duck restaurants that use a regular grill plate, charcoal grilling here kept the meat light while still giving it that nice smoky flavor.

Why Ganaandeok worked well with a 19-month-old

The raw duck at Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch is fresh domestic duck with no seasoning added, so 19-month-old Tangtangi could eat it too once we cut it into small pieces. The duck itself was already great quality, but using good charcoal gave it an even deeper, nuttier flavor. Ganaandeok is a great Gyeyang restaurant for family meals with kids.

It's delicious and light even on its own, but pairing it with the various side dishes brought out even more flavor variety! The mustard cabbage, chive salad, and seasoned bean sprouts were all tangy and crisp and worked well together, and the wrap greens were so fresh — very satisfying 😊

Grill plate changes by kiosk, and how generous the portion is

This Bakchon Station restaurant serves generous portions, so they swapped our grill plate and kept grilling more! You can request a grill plate swap at the kiosk ✔️ My husband was happy, saying it tasted great and he was properly loading up on protein 💪🏻

Even though the portion is large enough that you might expect to get tired of it, Ganaandeok drains the fat so thoroughly over charcoal that the deep, nutty flavor kept getting better the more I ate〰️ Duck is my favorite meat and I've tried a lot of duck restaurants, but Ganaandeok really had great quality, and it was so clean and tidy that I couldn't find a single flaw 😋👍🏻

Dessert: free duck mung bean porridge and charcoal-roasted sweet potato

Ganaandeok Gyeyang Branch also serves duck mung bean porridge for free as dessert, so you have to eat it even if you're already full〰️ The mung bean porridge was rich thanks to the generous amount of mung bean used, making for a wholesome, nutrient-packed meal.

And then the real finale: the foil-wrapped sweet potato that had been sitting on the charcoal〰️ It was so sweet and delicious that our baby bird Tangtangi kept taking bites without stopping, and ended up skipping dinner once we got home 🤣 They also sell sweet potatoes at the restaurant, so highly recommend picking some up!
