A loft-concept Western restaurant 8 minutes from Seongsu Station Seongsu Darak is a Western restaurant on the 2nd floor of 20 Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, an 8-minute walk from Seongsu Station Exit 3. I heard it was a famous hotspot in Seongsu-dong, so I went on a date with my partner. ![Seongsu Darak signature photo, Western restaurant in Seongsu-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-01-19rzf-1200.webp) I came across Seongsu Darak while looking for pasta restaurants in Seongsu, and it turned out to have a wide range of Western dishes — pasta, omurice (rice omelet), pork neck steak, and more — all at reasonable prices, plus the kind of sensitive, aesthetic interior Seongsu-dong is known for. Great for a date! ![Date atmosphere at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-02-1et35-966.webp) ## Inside Seongsu Darak: finding the entrance and the white-and-wood interior ![Seongsu Darak's exterior entrance door](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-03-qcu0b-966.webp) ![Stairway entrance up to the 2nd and 3rd floors at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-04-1k1ss-966.webp) This is the door you're supposed to go in — we couldn't find it at first, haha. True to the name (darak means "loft"), the exterior door and the stairway up to the 2nd and 3rd floors are all done up in a sensitive loft-concept style. ![Loft-concept interior passage at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-05-1v8z5-966.webp) ![White-toned interior with wood furniture at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-06-iu1ou-966.webp) Once inside, you're greeted with a clean white-toned interior and wood furniture that give off a bright, warm feeling. There are sensitive design touches everywhere, so I'd recommend it as a Seongsu date spot :) ![Self-serve bar with water and tissues at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-07-wc7j1-966.webp) There's also a small self-serve bar in one corner with water and tissues. ## Seongsu Darak menu and what the couple ordered ![Seongsu Darak menu board, pasta page](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-08-12i1u-966.webp) ![Seongsu Darak menu board, omurice and steak selections](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-09-ty63z-966.webp) ![Seongsu Darak menu board, drinks page](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-10-1hdj0-966.webp) Seongsu Darak's signature dishes include Darak Omurice, Darak Rosé Pasta, Pork Neck Steak, Risotto, and Katsu Sando — there was so much variety it took us a while to decide, haha. Here's what we ordered. - Darak Rosé Pasta ₩19,000 - Spicy Cream Pasta ₩19,000 - Darak Ade Pineapple ₩6,900 - Hoegaarden ₩6,900 ## Darak Rose Pasta, 19,000 won: house meat sauce with fresh cream ![A plate of Darak Rosé Pasta at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-11-a1dlv-966.webp) Darak Rosé Pasta is the restaurant's signature dish, made with a spicy house-made meat sauce, sweet and creamy fresh cream, and Grana Padano cheese. Unlike the rosé pastas I usually eat, this one had the rich, spicy punch of the handmade meat sauce layered with the sweetness of the cream and the savory depth of the cheese — a genuinely balanced combo of spicy and smooth! ![Darak Rosé Pasta topped with a generous scoop of fresh cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-12-1id0l-966.webp) There's a generous dollop of sweet, creamy fresh cream on top — just mix it into the meat sauce as you eat, and honestly, the combination was so good... ![Darak Rosé Pasta noodles mixed with meat sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-13-y3cc8-966.webp) You do get that rich, spicy meat sauce flavor, but the sweet, smooth cream and cheese rein it in, leaving something thick and savory that I genuinely enjoyed from first bite to last. Officially crowning it Seongsu Darak's signature pasta...!!! ## Spicy Cream Pasta, 19,000 won: three cheeses with shrimp and egg yolk ![A plate of Spicy Cream Pasta at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-14-2bpqb-966.webp) Spicy Cream Pasta is flavored with three kinds of cheese, shrimp, and spicy seasoning. The cream sauce built from three cheeses is thick and richly savory, with a gentle spiciness rising underneath that cuts the richness, so it stayed enjoyable all the way to the last bite. ![Egg yolk on top of the Spicy Cream Pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-15-ywigg-966.webp) Just pop the egg yolk and mix it in with the pasta! ![Spicy Cream Pasta mixed with egg yolk and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-16-17v6c-966.webp) It's a cream pasta, but the subtle spiciness kept it from feeling heavy :) The spicy and creamy elements balanced out nicely into something quite substantial, and the plump shrimp added great texture — really, really good!! ![Pickles provided on request at Seongsu Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-17-sp1ac-966.webp) Just a heads up — pickles are available if you ask the staff :) ## Darak Ade Pineapple, 6,900 won: the signature drink in a pineapple cup ![Darak Ade Pineapple served in a pineapple cup](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-18-vbvcg-966.webp) I ordered the Darak Ade Pineapple (₩6,900) because I heard it was the restaurant's signature ade — and served in an actual pineapple cup, it's ridiculously cute just to look at...! ![Pineapple ade enjoyed alongside the pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade-19-1iwoo-966.webp) The tangy-sweet pineapple juice and the ade's refreshing fizz paired well with the pasta, cleansing the palate between bites and keeping things cool and refreshing. ## Is Seongsu Darak worth it for a date? Final thoughts The sensitive white-and-wood interior and the varied menu made Seongsu Darak a great choice for a date meal with a partner in Seongsu-dong. If you're looking for a good-atmosphere pasta restaurant in Seongsu, I'd recommend giving it a visit :) ## Where it is - Seongsu Darak (성수다락) - 20 Ttukseom-ro 9-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, 2nd floor, 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/@salt-and-sesame-2/seongsu-darak-rose-spicy-cream-pasta-pineapple-ade/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
