Visiting with her child, the writer ordered rubber-duck omurice for ₩16,900, sizzling cheese cutlet on a hot plate for ₩19,900, and two ades for ₩6,900 each, and the free rubber-duck giveaway meant her kid got to play with a duck after the meal.

Whenever we head to Hyehwa I want to eat something good and also wander around Daehangno, so picking where to eat is always a bit of a puzzle. This time I tried Omil Hyehwa Daehangno, known for its adorable rubber-duck omurice. ![The second-floor entrance to Omil in Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-02-jp8tq-900.webp) ![Store signage at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-03-1jz5g-m-900.webp) I'd always thought Omil's rubber-duck omurice looked cute, and sure enough, visiting with my kid, the reaction was great. 💛 The food was tasty and the space was clean and pleasant, so it worked well for a meal with a child, and it would also suit a Hyehwa or Daehangno date. ![The bright, clean interior of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-04-1vxk9-900.webp) ![A cozily arranged table at Omil](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-05-1wucq-900.webp) This time, just the two of us, we ordered 🐤 the Chong-Chong-Chong! Rubber Duck Omurice, the sizzling cheese cutlet on a hot plate, an Oh! Cherry Ade, and an Oh! Pineapple Ade. ## Location and hours of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno Omil Hyehwa Daehangno / 35 Daemyeong-gil, 2nd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul. It's easy to find as you walk from Hyehwa Station toward Daehangno, on the second floor. It's also a convenient spot to grab a meal before or after a play or performance in Daehangno. Hyehwa is a fun area to walk around with a kid, so it's a good pick for a meal on an outing day. Hours are Monday-Friday 11:30-21:15, with a break time from 15:15-16:30, last order 20:30; Saturday and Sunday are 11:30-21:15 with last order 20:30. If you're visiting on a weekday, keep the break time in mind. ## Kids' chair, waiting area, and other amenities - Group seating available - Takeout available - Delivery available - Reservations available - Wifi - Kids' chair - Waiting area Most of all, having a kids' chair on hand was a relief for someone visiting with a child. ![Comfortable seating for a parent and child at Omil Hyehwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-06-xrhp9-900.webp) ![Seating and aisle at Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-07-1wt4g-900.webp) ![A section of the restaurant with a kids' chair set up](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-08-10z1u-900.webp) When you eat out with a kid, taste matters, but whether the seats and space are comfortable quietly matters too. So this felt like a solid option for anyone looking for a Hyehwa spot to eat at with a child. ## 🐤 So cute the kid fell for it first: rubber-duck omurice The menu I was most looking forward to at Omil was, of course, the Chong-Chong-Chong! Rubber Duck Omurice. It's ₩16,900. The name alone is cute, and when the dish actually arrived, my kid's eyes went round. Haha. A fluffy swirl omurice with an adorable rubber duck perched on top — the kind of look that has you reaching for your phone the moment it lands on the table. ![Swirl omurice topped with a rubber duck](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-09-1igfp-900.webp) ![Close-up of the Chong-Chong-Chong! Rubber Duck Omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-10-1llp2-900.webp) ![Fluffy omurice with the rubber-duck decoration](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-11-1fmo0-m-900.webp) When you go to a restaurant with a kid, it really helps the whole meal go more smoothly if there's at least one dish that catches their interest. The rubber-duck omurice was great for exactly that. > "Mom, this is a duck!" — my kid kept staring at it for ages. 😆 On top of that, there was a free rubber-duck giveaway, so my kid got to keep playing with the duck even after the meal, which made it even better. ![The rubber duck received from the free giveaway event](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-12-l62oa-m-900.webp) It felt like ordering one dish and getting a cute toy thrown in, which made the two of us very happy with the visit. ![A scooped-out bite showing the inside of the rubber-duck omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-13-195kz-900.webp) The omurice itself was soft and fluffy, easy to share with a kid. If you're looking for somewhere to eat with your child in Hyehwa, this is a dish worth ordering just for the visual appeal alone. ## 🧀 Sizzling cheese cutlet on a hot plate The second dish was the sizzling cheese cutlet on a hot plate! It's ₩19,900. True to its name, it arrives sizzling on a piping-hot plate, and the sound alone was enough to get me hungry. A thick cheese cutlet topped with more cheese sits on the hot plate, and as the cheese melted, a savory aroma drifted up. ![Cheese cutlet sizzling on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-14-rh70a-900.webp) ![Melted cheese over the hot-plate cheese cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-15-2p5od-900.webp) ![Thick cheese cutlet served on the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-16-1t3oi-900.webp) With just the two of us, I briefly considered ordering only the omurice, but I was glad we added the cheese cutlet too. I fed my kid the omurice while I ate the cheese cutlet, and we shared bites of each. If your kid loves cheese, this dish would probably be a hit too. 😍 ![Cross-section of the crispy cutlet with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-17-2cw1k-900.webp) ![A piece of the hot-plate cheese cutlet with cheese pull](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-18-hyvdo-900.webp) ![Table set with the hot-plate cheese cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-19-17osu-m-900.webp) The crispy fried cutlet with savory, gooey cheese caught my kid's attention too. The sizzling on the hot plate also made the moment the food arrived part of the fun. ## 🍒 Oh! Cherry Ade For drinks, we each picked one. First, the Oh! Cherry Ade for ₩6,900. A sweet-tart cherry ade with a splash of fresh lemon juice — sweet yet bright, and a good match for greasy food. Taking a sip between bites of cheese cutlet or omurice cleared the palate nicely! ![A glass of the red-hued Oh! Cherry Ade](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-20-1poy9-900.webp) The color was pretty too, and it looked great sitting alongside the food for photos. 📸 We usually just share one drink when eating out with a kid, but this time we ordered two different flavors and drank to our own taste. ## 🍍 Oh! Pineapple Ade The second drink was the Oh! Pineapple Ade, ₩6,900. ![A glass of Oh! Pineapple Ade](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-21-1xzqq-900.webp) ![The signature ade made with pineapple syrup](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-22-1cabb-900.webp) It's said to be Omil's signature pineapple ade, made with sweet pineapple syrup. The distinct sweet-tart pineapple flavor made it easy to drink without feeling too heavy. ![Cherry ade and pineapple ade side by side](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-23-b06za-900.webp) Ordering the cherry ade and pineapple ade together, with their contrasting colors, made the table look even brighter. Even with just the two of us, ordering a variety of dishes made it feel like a small brunch spread. 😊 ## 🍽️ How it felt eating with just my kid Visiting with just my kid this time, the menu lineup turned out to be better than expected. The rubber-duck omurice was great to eat with a child, and the cheese cutlet worked well for an adult and kid to share. Adding an ade each made for a nice, unhurried meal for the two of us. What matters most when picking a restaurant with a kid is avoiding a menu that's all spicy or overly strong flavors — and Omil had kid-friendly options like the omurice and cutlet, which I appreciated. Plus, since the food looks so cute, my kid was interested the moment it hit the table. "What should we eat?" is always the biggest question when dining out with a kid, and it was good to know there's a place like this to remember in Hyehwa. ## 💛 An atmosphere that also suits a Hyehwa date Omil Hyehwa Daehangno was great to visit with my kid, but the atmosphere itself would also suit a date. ![The bright, clean atmosphere of Omil Hyehwa Daehangno](https://img.superchart.com/images/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch/omeal-hyehwa-rubberduck-omurice-kids-lunch-24-102qo-1200.webp) The whole space is bright and clean, with tables arranged in a cozy way, so it would work well for a meal with friends or a couple's date around Daehangno. Since a lot of people come to Daehangno for plays or performances, it's a good spot to eat before or after a show. If you're planning a Hyehwa date, a course of good pasta or omurice followed by a slow wander through the Daehangno alleys sounds great too. ## 🥰 Overall thoughts This time visiting Omil Hyehwa Daehangno with just my kid, we had a satisfying meal — from the adorable rubber-duck omurice to the sizzling cheese cutlet and the sweet-tart cherry and pineapple ades. Most of all, seeing my kid so happy over the rubber-duck omurice put me in a good mood too. When eating out with a kid, you look for a place your child will enjoy and you'll enjoy eating too — and on that front, Omil Hyehwa was quite satisfying. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a Hyehwa pasta spot, anyone who likes omurice or cheese cutlet, anyone looking for a Daehangno date restaurant, and anyone like me looking for somewhere to eat with a kid in Hyehwa. Especially if your kid loves rubber ducks, they'll get a fun meal plus a cute duck to take home. 🐤💛 If you're planning an outing to Hyehwa with your kid, give Omil Hyehwa Daehangno a try — you can explore Daehangno and get a good meal in one trip. Next time we're back in Hyehwa, I'd like to try other dishes too. 😊 ## 📌 Omil Hyehwa Daehangno at a glance - Name: Omil Hyehwa Daehangno - Address: 35 Daemyeong-gil, 2nd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Mon-Fri 11:30-21:15 (break 15:15-16:30, last order 20:30) / Sat-Sun 11:30-21:15 (last order 20:30) - Amenities: Group seating / takeout / delivery / reservations / wifi / kids' chair / waiting area - This visit's order: Chong-Chong-Chong!
