# Seoul bar set for two with spicy pollock roe soup: Arigyegok Gangnam - By Gaeul (https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-detour/) - Written Sep 20, 2026 - Local places › Bars › Gangnam, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written as part of a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-detour/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@restaurant-detour/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/index.md) ## In short Arigyegok Gangnam is a Korean cooking bar near Gangnam Station in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, decorated like a wooden pavilion by a mountain valley. The set for two pairs mud duck jeonbyeong (crispy whole duck with thin wrappers) with algoni jjamppong tang (spicy pollock roe and milt soup), served with somaek (soju and beer) and followed by kkakdugi bingsu, a shaved ice dessert shaped like radish kimchi. Portions at Arigyegok Gangnam are generous and the dessert is the real thing, so it is worth returning for other dishes. ## Good to know - **Location**: 28-14 Teheran-ro 1-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (1F, units 101 and 102) - **What we ordered**: Set for two – mud duck jeonbyeong + algoni jjamppong tang, plus kkakdugi bingsu - **What is in the algoni jjamppong tang**: Wild water dropwort, bean sprouts, pollock roe and milt, Chinese-style noodles - **Cooking tip**: Once the algoni jjamppong tang comes to a boil, simmer it about 5 minutes longer *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* I found a really amazing bar food spot near Gangnam Station after a long while! With its hip, conceptual vibe and super friendly staff, this Gangnam Station favorite — Arigyegok Gangnam — made the whole meal and drinking session even more enjoyable! ![Visit photo of Arigyegok Gangnam near Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-01-1h521-900.webp) ![Atmosphere at Arigyegok Gangnam Korean bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-02-1efut-900.webp) ![Table spread of food at Arigyegok Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-03-9e7c4-900.webp) ## Arigyegok Gangnam: a Seoul bar styled like a valley pavilion Arigyegok Gangnam is a Korean bar tucked in an alley off Teheran-ro 1-gil. Even though it's right in the middle of Gangnam Station, the interior is decorated like a gyegok pyeongsang (a raised wooden platform by a mountain valley), which gives it a really conceptual atmosphere. ![Exterior of Arigyegok, a Gangnam Station favorite](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-04-1f7au-900.webp) *Exterior of Arigyegok, a Gangnam Station favorite* ![Area around the entrance of Arigyegok Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-05-1moa4-900.webp) ![Interior of Arigyegok styled like a valley pavilion](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-06-15wds-900.webp) ![Seating and interior of Arigyegok Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-07-1e4t5-900.webp) ![Full interior view of Arigyegok Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-08-eq6o2-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Arigyegok Gangnam ![Menu board at Arigyegok Gangnam](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-09-fwfd3-900.webp) ### Side dishes and drinks: somaek at Arigyegok ![Pickled radish served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-10-143or-900.webp) *Pickled radish* ![Soju and beer prepared alongside the side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-11-itiiu-900.webp) A somaek (soju-beer mix) mixed by my soju-master boyfriend! Hehe. ## Mud duck jeonbyeong, the signature limited dish at Arigyegok Mud duck jeonbyeong is Arigyegok's signature, limited-time dish. It's a whole fried duck brushed with a special mustard sauce, eaten wrapped with dumpling wrappers and lettuce — a delicacy among delicacies. ![Whole fried mud duck jeonbyeong spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-12-1jmda-900.webp) *Mud duck jeonbyeong – whole fried duck brushed with special mustard sauce, eaten with dumpling wrappers and lettuce, a delicacy among delicacies* Mud duck jeonbyeong — doesn't it look amazing just from the visuals?! Haha. I think this one is a must-order. Haha. A whole duck comes out, with salad and wrappers to go with it below! Haha. It's overwhelming both in looks and in portion — a generous, delicious, and reasonably priced bar snack. ![Salad and wrappers served alongside mud duck jeonbyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-13-alsrc-900.webp) ## Why we chose the algoni jjamppong tang (pollock roe soup) Arigyegok is also famous for its chicken hot pot, right? But since we'd already locked in the mud duck jeonbyeong, I thought about what set menu would let us enjoy something different without overlapping — and landed on the algoni jjamppong tang. Haha. I figured the savory depth of seafood would pair nicely. ![Chinese-style noodles served with the algoni jjamppong tang](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-14-znyw4-900.webp) *Chinese-style noodles* ![Table setting for Arigyegok's algoni jjamppong tang](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-15-scvt8-900.webp) ![Algoni jjamppong tang pot ringed with rock minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-16-1f39q-900.webp) It arrives with rock minari (water dropwort) beautifully arranged around the edge like a flower wreath — such a striking presentation! The roe and milt are packed in generously, and there's a bed of bean sprouts underneath too. They told us that once it starts boiling, we should let it simmer about 5 more minutes before eating. ## The full table: Arigyegok Gangnam's set for two ![Full spread of mud duck jeonbyeong and algoni jjamppong tang set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-17-1uj5b-1200.webp) Mud duck jeonbyeong and algoni jjamppong tang, enjoyed on this gorgeous valley-pavilion seating right in the middle of Gangnam Station. Haha. Doesn't it look really generous? First, you need to cut the whole duck jeonbyeong into bite-sized pieces. ![Whole duck jeonbyeong cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-18-1f3ve-900.webp) Take a big piece of lettuce, layer on the wrapper, salad vegetables, and duck jeonbyeong, and take a bite! Ahh... it goes together so well. Duck meat can get greasy if you eat it on its own since it's quite fatty, but with the salad and wrapper, you can keep enjoying it to the last bite without getting tired of it. And the portion is massive! My favorite, the algoni tang. It's almost fully cooked. First off, the broth is incredibly rich and silky. It's refreshing, nutty, and deep, the kind of broth you keep spooning up — such a great drinking snack. And the roe isn't some giant tuna roe but pollock roe, which I really appreciated. Haha. The milt was abundant too. ![Fully simmered algoni jjamppong tang broth with roe and milt](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-19-1vmpx-900.webp) The longer it boils, the more the vegetable stock comes through, adding a clean note on top. The combination of vegetable stock and ocean flavor was so delicious. Haha. The roe and milt just kept coming no matter how much we ate — great as both a drinking snack and a meal. But overall, I think Arigyegok's portions are on the generous side. Haha. The algoni jjamppong tang is already substantial on its own, and then the Chinese-style noodles come out on top of that... even my big-eater boyfriend was satisfied with the amount! Haha. ## Kkakdugi bingsu: is shaved ice really dessert at a Seoul bar? ![Kkakdugi bingsu ordered for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-20-1aca1-900.webp) My boyfriend, who always has a separate stomach for dessert, picked the kkakdugi bingsu! ![Mango-flesh shaved ice shaped like radish kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-21-12sjv-900.webp) ![Close-up of mango flesh on kkakdugi bingsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-22-am2ny-900.webp) ![Sherbet and mango in the kkakdugi bingsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-23-1hwaz-900.webp) It really looks like radish kimchi, but it's actually frozen mango flesh. Even though it's frozen mango, it's coated with mango syrup on top, so it was sweet and fragrant with fruit. And that sherbet is insane!!! Seriously, seriously delicious. It's a fruit ice cream good enough to rival a dedicated ice cream shop, and eating it together with the mango flesh made for maximum satisfaction. ![A spoonful of kkakdugi bingsu scooped out](https://img.superchart.com/images/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set-24-a85tj-900.webp) Instead of the usual token dessert you'd expect at a bar, they served something genuinely delicious, which made the experience even more satisfying. Even the dessert at Arigyegok is on point. Haha. The interior has a great conceptual vibe, every dish is generous in portion and packed with flavor, and the staff are super friendly, making it a comfortable and fun place to spend time — this is Arigyegok, a Gangnam Station bar. I was so satisfied I think I'll go back to try other menu items. ## Where it is - Arigyegok Gangnam (아리계곡) - 28-14 Teheran-ro 1-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (1F, units 101, 102) - 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로1길 28-14 지상1층 101, 102호 - 37.5004105, 127.0285452 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%84%EB%A6%AC%EA%B3%84%EA%B3%A1/@37.5004105,127.0285452,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-detour/arigyegok-gangnam-duck-jjambbong-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
