We shared Darak rose pasta, corn cream gnocchi, katsu sando, and a butter highball for 50,000 won before drinks. Verdict: cozy, tasty, and somewhere I’d happily revisit for a meetup. ## Good to know - **Address**: 25 Eonju-ro 168-gil, 2F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 강남구 언주로168길 25 2층) - **Parking**: ₩3,000 parking support is offered when using a nearby paid parking lot. - **Darak Rose Pasta**: ₩19,000 - **Corn Cream Gnocchi**: ₩19,000 - **Katsu Sando**: ₩12,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* I visited Eulji Darak (을지다락), which I absolutely love. Eulji Darak serves Italian-style food. Rather than strictly traditional Italian, it is fusion Italian perfectly suited to Korean tastes, which is why I visit often! I usually went to the original Euljiro branch, but since I had plans in Apgujeong this time, I visited Eulji Darak Apgujeong Dosan Park, a great restaurant near Dosan Park~ ![Visit to Eulji Darak Apgujeong Dosan Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-01-1wq7f-1200.webp) ## Fusion Italian Restaurant Near Dosan Park in Apgujeong ### Basic Information ![Location of Eulji Darak Apgujeong Dosan Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-02-t6pne-900.webp) First of all, Eulji Darak Apgujeong Dosan Park has an unbeatable location. It is right on Apgujeong’s main street, so it seems like a great spot for a satisfying meal and then a look around the neighborhood. ✅ ![Second-floor waiting area and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-03-1evy8-720.webp) ![Second-floor waiting area and parking information](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-04-16u2i-831.webp) On the way up to the second floor, there is a waiting area and parking information. For parking, you can use any nearby paid lot. They say they provide ₩3,000 toward the parking fee~! ![Around the second-floor entrance to Eulji Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-05-fjdqe-900.webp) ![Around the second-floor entrance to Eulji Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-06-u801o-900.webp) And then, once you arrive on the second floor, there is this door! I actually thought that green door was the entrance and took a photo, but the bookshelf beside it was the entrance hahaha. It is definitely a concept that suits the attic theme. ![Bookshelf entrance to Eulji Darak](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-07-19999-966.webp) At Eulji Darak, you place your order by shaking that bell. Hahaha. These days everything is done by kiosk, so this felt refreshingly fun and different haha. ![Ordering by shaking a bell](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-08-1wrbf-966.webp) ![Ordering by shaking a bell](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-09-1guuj-966.webp) I wanted to have all of Eulji Darak’s signatures, including Darak omurice and spicy crab risotto, but this time I ordered different dishes I had not tried before. We ordered Darak rose pasta, corn gnocchi, katsu sando, and a butter highball. ![Ordered pasta and gnocchi dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-10-19vzm-900.webp) ![Ordered pasta and gnocchi dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-11-1du5d-900.webp) The interior was decorated so cozily and elegantly. These days, lots of people have pre-wedding gatherings in Apgujeong or Cheongdam, and I think Eulji Darak is worth considering for an Apgujeong pre-wedding gathering too. ![Cozy and elegant restaurant interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-12-1qmj1-900.webp) Also, when I visited, there were quite a few tables with children, so it looked like a nice place to come with kids too! ![Restaurant atmosphere with tables dining with children](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-13-1u8kb-966.webp) ## What Did the Darak Rose Pasta Taste Like? The first dish to arrive was the Darak rose pasta (₩19,000). The price is reasonable too, and can you see that cream on top? Haha, they give you a very generous amount~ The more cream, the better haha. ![Darak rose pasta topped with cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-14-t4al3-900.webp) Now, once you shake-shake the cream in, it becomes rose pasta! ![Mixing cream into Darak rose pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-15-h75sg-900.webp) After mixing in the cream, it became a wonderfully thick and rich rose pasta. But it was not at all heavy or cloying. As you can see on the menu, it has a little spice, so it was a rose pasta that suited this Korean diner perfectly haha. I scraped up every last bit of sauce. ![Thick and rich Darak rose pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-16-lydb6-900.webp) ## My First Corn Cream Gnocchi Next was the corn cream gnocchi (₩19,000), which I had really been looking forward to. I have had plenty of cream gnocchi, but it was my first time trying corn gnocchi, so I was extra excited! ![Corn cream gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-17-mfeg3-900.webp) ![Corn cream gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-18-1xmf0-900.webp) The gnocchi was pleasantly chewy, just as gnocchi should be, and the corn cream really retained that true corn aroma! Even I, someone who is not very good with rich food, enjoyed it so much. ![Chewy corn cream gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-19-18ax3-900.webp) They were generous with the cream here too, so I could dip the gnocchi generously in it. ![Corn cream gnocchi served with cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-20-1of6v-900.webp) ## Thick and Crispy Katsu Sando Next was Eulji Darak’s signature katsu sando (₩12,000), a pork cutlet sandwich. You do see katsu sando quite often these days, but Eulji Darak was the place that made it trendy, right?!? And at ₩12,000, it is such a great-value spread haha. ![Eulji Darak’s signature katsu sando](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-21-18rpl-900.webp) ![Eulji Darak’s signature katsu sando](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-22-12z14-900.webp) The katsu was really plump? Totally thick and packed right in, and because it had just been fried, it was served wonderfully warm and crispy. The katsu sando is delicious on its own, but topping it with the coleslaw served alongside makes it taste refreshing. ![Katsu sando with coleslaw](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-23-1buca-900.webp) The two of us ate this combination. First of all, the presentation passed with flying colors, and the portion left us perfectly full~ For two women, it might be a little much?! ![Eulji Darak meal spread for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta-24-1fswk-900.webp) I also ordered Eulji Darak’s signature butter highball, and I exclaimed that it was delicious from the very first sip because the cinnamon and butter aromas worked so well together! Haha ## One-Line Verdict - Fusion Italian - Recommended for Apgujeong or Hannam pre-wedding gatherings - Good for visiting with children - I would revisit If you are looking for fusion Italian around Apgujeong or Dosan Park, I recommend Eulji Darak~ The food is tasty, and above all, it is in such a convenient location for making plans! ## Where it is - Eulji Darak Apgujeong Dosan Park (을지다락 압구정도산공원) - 25 Eonju-ro 168-gil, 2F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 언주로168길 25 2층) - 서울특별시 강남구 언주로168길 25 2층 - 37.5261945, 127.0357124 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%8B%A4%EB%9D%BD%20%EC%95%95%EA%B5%AC%EC%A0%95%EB%8F%84%EC%82%B0%EA%B3%B5%EC%9B%90/@37.5261945,127.0357124,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-soup-pot/apgujeong-euljidarak-rose-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
