Visiting with a friend, we shared three dishes: the Chong-chong-chong! Rubber Duck Omurice at 16,900 won, which is filled with salmon fried rice, the Sizzling Cheese Cutlet at 19,900 won, whose cream-smooth cheese is poured over a hot iron plate at the table, and the Soba Maki at 12,900 won. Cute to look at and genuinely good to eat, Omil Hyehwa Daehangno works well for a Hyehwa date. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, 35 Daemyeong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul (about a 4-minute walk from Hyehwa Station) - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:30–21:15 - **Break time**: Weekdays 15:15–16:30 (none on weekends) - **Last order**: Lunch 14:30 / Dinner 20:30 - **Chong-chong-chong!

The food wasn't just tasty either; every dish came out with a cute look, so it worked really well as a Hyehwa date spot too. ## Where is Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, and what is the space like? ![Exterior of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno on Daemyeong-gil in Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-02-1qclu-900.webp) ![Entrance to the 2nd-floor Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-03-4qopa-900.webp) Omil Hyehwa Daehangno sits in an easy-to-walk-to spot in Daehangno from Hyehwa Station. It's about 4 minutes from the station, so it's a good location for a meal before or after seeing a play or performance. ![Neatly decorated seating inside Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-04-1n1qn-900.webp) ![Interior decor of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-05-tbusb-900.webp) Being newly opened, the interior overall was neat and prettily decorated. ![Dining hall at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno with cute decorations](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-06-4u9sp-900.webp) ![A photo-friendly corner of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-07-1aglm-900.webp) The vibe is cute and great for photos, so it works well for a friend hangout too, and I think it'll suit anyone looking for a Hyehwa date spot. The food itself comes out looking so cute that a family outing to Hyehwa with a kid would probably be a hit too. ## Omil Hyehwa Daehangno hours and store details - Name: Omil Hyehwa Daehangno - Address: 2F, 35 Daemyeong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Hours: Weekdays 11:30–21:15 - Weekday break time 15:15–16:30 - Lunch last order 14:30 / Dinner last order 20:30 - No break time on weekends I'd recommend double-checking the latest hours on Naver Map before you visit. ## Omil Hyehwa Daehangno menu and prices ![Menu board and prices at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-08-4iukl-900.webp) ![Omil's menu listing omurice and pasta dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-09-1j4gy-900.webp) ![Menu board showing the 2-person set at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-10-xuzqi-900.webp) Omil has a wide range of dishes, from omurice to sizzling cheese cutlet, soba maki, and pasta. There's also a reasonably priced 2-person set, worth a look. There were two of us, so we ordered the following three dishes. - Chong-chong-chong! Rubber Duck Omurice ₩16,900 - Sizzling Cheese Cutlet ₩19,900 - Soba Maki ₩12,900 ## Rubber Duck Omurice filled with salmon fried rice, 16,900 won ![Ordered dishes laid out on the table at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-11-1qv7q-900.webp) The first thing that caught my eye was the Chong-chong-chong! Rubber Duck Omurice. ![Chong-chong-chong Rubber Duck Omurice topped with quail-egg ducks](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-12-1ysf2-900.webp) The name is cute, but seeing it in person it's even cuter. The tiny rubber ducks made out of quail eggs were almost too adorable to eat. ![Cross-section of the rubber duck omurice showing salmon fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-13-d8nw7-900.webp) With such a cute look, I expected the taste to be pretty average, but the rice inside wasn't just plain fried rice — it was salmon fried rice, which made it even tastier. Pretty to look at and good to eat, this would be an especially big hit if you're visiting with a kid. ![Sizzling cheese cutlet with cheese poured over a hot griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-14-dc8ix-900.webp) ## Sizzling Cheese Cutlet with cream-smooth cheese, 19,900 won Personally, my favorite of the three was the sizzling cheese cutlet. They pour cheese directly onto a hot griddle right at the table, and it really does sizzle — I ended up filming it. Unlike the usual stretchy melted cheese, this one was smooth like cream, which paired amazingly well with the pork cutlet. Savory and soft, this was my favorite of the three dishes. ![Soba maki rolled up like gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-15-1kztd-900.webp) ## Finishing with the Soba Maki, 12,900 won Last up was the soba maki (buckwheat noodle roll) — buckwheat noodles rolled up like gimbap (seaweed rice roll). The pieces were quite big, but the flavor wasn't heavy at all. After the omurice and cheese cutlet, it felt refreshing in the mouth, making it a nice light finish, almost like dessert. ## What stood out at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno ![A full spread of the three dishes at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice/omil-hyehwa-rubber-duck-salmon-omurice-16-1nax4-900.webp) Omil Hyehwa Daehangno felt like a lot of care went into everything, from the store's atmosphere to the visuals of the food. Especially with a menu item as cute as the rubber duck omurice, which you don't see elsewhere, it'll be a memorable stop on a Hyehwa date course. What I liked most was that the food wasn't just pretty — all three dishes actually tasted good too. ### Omil Hyehwa Daehangno at a glance - Name: Omil Hyehwa Daehangno - Location: about 4 min walk from Hyehwa Station - Ordered: Rubber Duck Omurice, Sizzling Cheese Cutlet, Soba Maki - Atmosphere: neat and cute - Recommended for: Hyehwa dates, friend gatherings, meals with kids - Would revisit: Yes ### Who Omil Hyehwa Daehangno suits - Anyone looking for a nice-atmosphere restaurant for a Hyehwa date - Anyone looking for cute, fun dishes to eat with a kid - Anyone wanting a variety of Hyehwa food, from pasta to omurice to pork cutlet ## Final verdict on Omil Hyehwa Daehangno I visited the newly opened Omil Hyehwa Daehangno with a friend, and both the store and the food were pretty, with each dish so cute it was fun just taking photos. In particular, the omurice topped with quail-egg rubber ducks and the cheese cutlet where they pour cheese right in front of you stuck with me.
