Siheung duck barbecue restaurant with half-and-half duck: Grill Duck

On a wonderfully sunny day, we finished our morning plans and came here for dinner! We had visited before, and when duck was on our minds again, this was the very first place that popped into our heads.

Grill Duck near Starfield Bucheon: location and parking

Grill Duck is an easy-to-find duck barbecue restaurant right on the main road near Starfield Bucheon. There is a large parking lot behind the restaurant, so parking is super easy.

Half-and-half duck: fresh duck and marinated duck together

Grill Duck has three duck choices: fresh duck, spicy marinated duck, and duck bulgogi. There are also half-and-half options that let you have fresh duck with either marinated duck or bulgogi, which is perfect for sharing! They also have warm duck doritang (spicy braised duck stew) and duck soup, which would make a great meal too!

There are so many tables inside Grill Duck, but by dinner time every table had filled up. We arrived early on a weekend evening, yet people kept streaming in nonstop. With such good value, good food, and friendly prices, it is impossible not to come here!

Generous side dishes, especially the pickled Cheongyang peppers

Once we ordered, the table was covered with a whole spread of side dishes. From incredibly fresh ssam vegetables (wrap greens) to pickled radish wraps, seasoned vegetables, and pickled Cheongyang peppers, there was so much! Those pickled Cheongyang peppers in particular were the perfect match for the duck, and we enjoyed them so much. They cut through the richness while bringing that wonderfully spicy Cheongyang pepper aroma right up!

Half-and-half duck, from marinated duck to fresh duck

We ordered the half-and-half duck with spicy marinated duck and fresh duck. Grill Duck has two separate grills for cooking the two dishes, so we started with the marinated duck! We piled the large grill high with beautifully fresh marinated duck and all sorts of vegetables, then got cooking.

Meanwhile, duck soup arrived at the table, and they told us it was complimentary! It had such an open, refreshing flavor and was so clean-tasting that I would happily come back just for the duck soup next time!

Because the marinated duck can stick, you just keep stirring it as it cooks like this—and wow, it looked delicious! It also came with loads of vegetables, making it perfect to eat together. I thought a half-and-half order might not be much food, but there was actually quite a lot, which I loved!

It cooked up deliciously in no time! We were seriously hungry, and just looking at the color of that marinated duck made it look irresistible. Dinner was properly sorted today! A cold beer alongside it would have melted away the day's fatigue, but I could not have one, which was a little disappointing. I want to eat it again!

Next up was the fresh duck cooked on the grill! Even though it was half a portion, they gave us a huge amount. It came with thinly sliced potatoes and rice cakes too, and they are seriously delicious grilled! The crispy potatoes and rice cakes were the best!

We put the fresh duck on the grill too, and the meat was so springy, tender, and mild that I think children would enjoy it as well! I had never tried grilling duck at home because I thought it might have a gamey smell, but the duck at Grill Duck was wonderfully tender and chewy without any off smell at all! It was delicious enough with just a little dip of salt. So delicious!

Pile plenty of meat onto fresh wrap greens with pickled radish wraps, pickled Cheongyang peppers, and even pa-kimchi (green onion kimchi) from the self-service bar, and it is pure heaven! The meat was so tender and springy, and every side dish was delicious, so we just kept eating without realizing it! I do not even know how many bowls of rice we had here—we enjoyed the meat, rice, and duck soup so neatly and deliciously. The staff were kind too, and at Grill Duck, where everything from the side dishes to the duck is delicious, you should try a hearty meal!
