Visiting with kids, the writer ordered a half-and-half salt and seasoned duck grill set, duck stew, and a barley shrimp minari pancake, and found the seasoned grill mild enough for an elementary schooler to enjoy. With infant tableware on hand, it's a solid pick for a family meal at the Gyeongui Line Forest Park outdoor dining scene. ## Good to know - **Address**: 28 Baekbeom-ro 20-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:30 - **Ordered**: Half-and-half grilled duck set (salt + seasoned), duck stew, barley shrimp minari pancake - **Seating**: Outdoor bench seating + indoor hall - **Kids**: Infant tableware available *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* A Gyeongui Line Forest Park favorite: outdoor duck grill at Gongjung Dodeok ![Main photo of Gongjung Dodeok, the outdoor duck restaurant on the Gyeongui Line Forest Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-01-q8ee5-1200.webp) Finally that cool breeze started blowing, and outdoor dining season is back at the Gyeongui Line Forest Park✨ I'd had my eye on Gongjung Dodeok for a while, and when my husband said he wanted duck, we finally went. You can try both grilled duck styles — salt and seasoned — plus duck stew, all in one visit, which felt like such a good deal. Let me introduce this outdoor spot that's just perfect for the season✨ ## Location and hours of Gongjung Dodeok, a Gyeongui Line Forest Park favorite ![Duck sign for Gongjung Dodeok toward Daeheung Station on the Gyeongui Line Forest Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-02-skqql-900.webp) If you head toward Daeheung Station along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, you'll spot a duck sign right in the middle — that's Gongjung Dodeok. It's located at 28 Baekbeom-ro 20-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, open daily from 11:00 to 22:30. ![Exterior of Gongjung Dodeok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-03-1n8w7-900.webp) ![Outdoor seating for Gongjung Dodeok along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-04-w5gmr-900.webp) Now that the weather's cooler, the outdoor seating is up and running. The savory smell of duck being grilled — both plain and seasoned — drifts along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park✨ Every time I passed by I thought it looked amazing, so I really wanted to try it! ![Outdoor bench seating at Gongjung Dodeok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-05-xv7ie-900.webp) ![Modern interior of the indoor dining hall at Gongjung Dodeok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-06-11zpu-900.webp) ## Outdoor bench seating and indoor seats — is it okay to bring kids? Here's a look at the indoor and outdoor spaces. Outside there are benches where you can sit and eat, keeping that classic Gyeongui Line Forest Park outdoor dining vibe alive. Inside, the interior is modern and clean, which made it feel great to bring the kids along. We brought ours, and other tables had kids too, so it really seems like a go-to family restaurant in Gongdeok. ![Side dishes with spicy sauce and mayo sauce set out at Gongjung Dodeok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-07-hd09a-m-900.webp) The side dishes are set out really neatly. The spicy sauce and mayo sauce there were both so good — I really enjoyed them. Dipping the meat right in made the flavor pop even more. ![Infant tableware prepared at Gongjung Dodeok](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-08-wfgs4-900.webp) Just so you know, infant tableware is available, so you're totally fine bringing little ones along. Kid-friendly! ![Earthenware pot of duck stew topped with perilla powder and sesame leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-09-1a88r-900.webp) ## Duck stew and the half-and-half grill set, all together First came the duck stew. Wow, the spicy, tangy broth was packed with duck meat, topped with perilla powder and sesame leaf, and as the earthenware pot kept simmering, the flavor just got better and better. They start it boiling right at the table. ![A tray of half-and-half salt and seasoned grilled duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-10-1v1dt-900.webp) Then the half-and-half grilled duck arrived. Tasty salt-grilled duck and seasoned duck, plus rice cakes, minari (water dropwort), and potatoes in the center — such a delicious spread. I figured the kids would eat the salt duck and my husband and I would take the seasoned one, but no — the seasoned duck wasn't very spicy at all, so even my elementary schooler ate it happily. ![Generous spread of duck stew and half-and-half grilled duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-11-94hrf-900.webp) Looking at it all together, it's such a generous spread. Between the stew and the grilled duck, I was seriously stuffed. It was a much better set than I expected, and I was so satisfied. ![Grill with rice cakes, minari, and potatoes on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-12-7fsf2-900.webp) ### The seasoned duck grill is on a whole different level from jeyuk The sizzling seasoned duck looks a bit like jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork), but it's on a totally different level! Tender, chewy duck topped with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce — it worked so well together. ![Sizzling seasoned duck grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-13-1w8u3-900.webp) ![Cleanly grilled salt duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-14-ql0qa-900.webp) The salt-grilled duck was really clean and mild, so it was great to eat with the kids too, especially paired with minari and dipped in sauce. Both were so delicious that the kids ate way more rice than usual that day. I was so proud! ![A bite of grilled duck with minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-15-uun8y-900.webp) ![Seasoned duck wrapped and dipped in mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-16-e08tc-900.webp) Dipping the seasoned duck in mayo sauce and wrapping it up for a bite gave an insane burst of flavor. Gongjung Dodeok, the duck restaurant near Daeheung Station, was so great to eat with kids. Delicious every which way — it'd even work well for a group dinner out on the outdoor seating. ![Side dish of barley shrimp minari pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-17-1xi5n-900.webp) ## Side dish: barley shrimp minari pancake And here's the barley shrimp minari pancake we ordered as a side. Look at how much barley shrimp is piled on top — really a lot. Packed with crispy, tasty barley shrimp, it was even more delicious. The nutty flavor really doubles. ![Close-up of the minari pancake piled with barley shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-18-k74y8-900.webp) The combination of minari and barley shrimp is amazing. Kids and adults alike loved this barley shrimp minari pancake — I highly recommend it! ![Spicy, tangy broth of Gongjung Dodeok's duck stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-19-vjofz-900.webp) ![Duck stew broth with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo-20-cygpn-900.webp) ## Conclusion: get the duck stew as part of the set, no matter what And you really, really have to try this duck stew. One bite in and I was like, wow, this is so refreshing! I expected it to be greasy, but it wasn't at all. Genuinely clean and spicy, the kind of duck stew that makes a whole bowl of rice disappear! Truly, get it as part of the set. If you're looking for a good restaurant along the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, or a duck restaurant near Daeheung Station, I recommend Gongjung Dodeok✨ ## Where it is - Gongjung Dodeok (공중도덕) - 28 Baekbeom-ro 20-gil, 1st floor, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 백범로20길 28 1층 - 37.5458065, 126.9439071 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B3%B5%EC%A4%91%EB%8F%84%EB%8D%95/@37.5458065,126.9439071,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-late-lunch/gongjungdodeok-duck-set-kids-mapo/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
