A mother and daughter stopped by for dinner before heading to NewNew Seongsu, ordering chadolbaegi (thinly sliced beef brisket) perilla oil pasta, flat carbonara, and onion cream fries — the Korean-style oil pasta with perilla seed and perilla leaf flavor was especially memorable. A good dinner stop on a Seongsu outing route. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Chadolbaegi perilla oil pasta, flat carbonara, onion cream fries, Sprite - **Signature dish**: Darak omelet rice (also risotto, katsu sando, and more) - **Review event**: Free drink with a verified Naver or Google Maps review - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:30–21:15 / Weekends 11:00–21:15 - **Parking**: Park at Seongsu Art Hall and walk over - **Location**: 20 Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, 2nd floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul — walk from Seongsu Station Exit 3 *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* Seongsu Darak (성수다락), a pasta restaurant in Seongsu-dong — a mother-daughter dinner before heading to NewNew Seongsu. ![First photo from the visit to Seongsu Darak, a Seongsu-dong pasta restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-01-1dxrv-900.webp) ## Seongsu Station Exit 3: an entrance that's easy to miss I planned a Seongsu date with Rai, and we decided to eat dinner first before going to NewNew Seongsu. Rai said she wanted pasta, so I looked up pasta places in Seongsu-dong, and since she seemed to like the menu at Seongsu Darak, we decided to try it this time! It's within walking distance from Seongsu Station Exit 3, but it's tucked inside an alley, so the entrance was a little confusing to find at first. The wooden door isn't actually the door — the little side door next to it is haha. ![Picture-frame-like entrance to the Seongsu Darak building](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-02-1kjcg-900.webp) The building entrance is built like a picture frame rather than a typical restaurant door, so even walking past it I wondered if this was really the place — but somehow foreign visitors seemed to find their way in without trouble. If you show a verified Naver or Google Maps review, they give you a drink each! ![Seongsu Darak menu board and signature Darak omelet rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-03-1sr4j-900.webp) ## What we ordered The signature dish on the menu seems to be the Darak omelet rice! But this visit was all about Rai's picks haha. > This time we ordered chadolbaegi (thinly sliced beef brisket) perilla oil pasta and flat carbonara. ## A 2nd-floor space that feels like an attic loft Once inside, the space really does have that cozy attic-loft feeling the name suggests. ![Attic-loft-feeling 2nd floor interior of Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-04-gy12u-900.webp) Substantial cutlery gets set on the table, ![Table set with substantial cutlery](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-05-1iagf-m-900.webp) and apparently there's currently a set menu tied to The Boyz & Deobi! Fans might come just for that haha. ![Seongsu Darak indoor seating and lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-06-1grc3-900.webp) Unlike the busy, hip vibe typical of Seongsu-dong, the atmosphere here is warm and relaxed, so it seems like a good spot for a date or a family meal too. ![Full view of a table in Seongsu Darak's warm atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-07-2tc8q-900.webp) Rai's Sprite order! ![Sprite drink ordered at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-08-ndkky-900.webp) ## Onion cream fries Rai used to not be able to eat onions at all, but starting with salmon sushi she's gradually started eating them — and now she's ordering onion cream like this. She's really grown up haha. ![Onion cream fries at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-09-1qcxh-900.webp) ## Flat carbonara — the noodles are really thick And here's the flat carbonara that finally grants the wish of Rai, who's been singing the cream pasta song. Mixing the egg yolk into the sauce like this, nice and well blended, yum yum. ![Flat carbonara topped with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-10-1548t-900.webp) After one bite she said this was exactly the flavor she wanted haha. I explained that the noodles are the thick kind, and she said she didn't realize they'd be this thick haha. ![A bite of the thick flat noodle carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-11-18wbb-1200.webp) There's real bite to it, you know!? Meanwhile, my pasta arrives! ## What does the chadolbaegi perilla oil pasta taste like? ![A plate of chadolbaegi perilla oil pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-12-jg27i-900.webp) I'd never tried this combination before — I ordered an oil pasta because I wanted something light. Adding perilla seed to oil pasta gives it a nutty flavor that's different from a typical oil pasta, and with the perilla leaf aroma added on top, the combination works surprisingly well. ![Perilla pasta with chadolbaegi and perilla leaf blended together](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-13-1imjt-900.webp) Tasting it, the chadolbaegi (thinly sliced beef brisket) and perilla leaf aroma pair really nicely, and it somehow tastes a bit like eating bulgogi haha. It's a distinctly Korean-style pasta! With the beef mixed in, there's the fun of eating meat and noodles together, and if you like the nutty flavor of perilla, this dish will really suit your taste. It was delicious! ![Table at Seongsu Darak after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-14-p5rud-900.webp) ## A Seongsu outing route that leads into NewNew Seongsu As we ate, the sky turned pink, and it felt like time to roam Seongsu's night streets with Rai haha. We planned to head straight to NewNew after eating, but Seongsu Darak has plenty of other menu options besides pasta — omelet rice, risotto, and more — so it also seems like a good spot to split dishes if you're visiting with a group. Searching for good pasta restaurants in Seongsu-dong, Seongsu Darak comes up with both pasta and omelet rice options, plus katsu sando if you want something more like a rice meal! ![Exterior of Seongsu Darak seen at night](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner-15-1o4tf-900.webp) Seongsu Darak looks even more atmospheric at night! We were following Naver Maps and were sure we'd arrived but couldn't find it — turns out it was right behind us haha. It's not closed, you just need to come in through the middle side door! For this Seongsu date, we planned the route to start with pasta with Rai and then move on to NewNew Girls — and it turned out to be in a great spot for heading to the next stop after dinner! If a mother and daughter are doing a Seongsu-dong outing, this seems like a solid day-trip route: good food plus wandering the Seongsu alleys. ## Hours and parking - Weekdays 11:30 a.m. – 9:15 p.m. - Weekends 11:00 a.m. – 9:15 p.m. - Park at Seongsu Art Hall and walk over ## Where it is - Seongsu Darak (성수다락) - 20 Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, 2nd floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 뚝섬로9길 20 2층 - 37.5398955, 127.0562588 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%B1%EC%88%98%EB%8B%A4%EB%9D%BD/@37.5398955,127.0562588,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@plate-and-screen/seongsu-darak-mother-daughter-pasta-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
