At 18,000 won each, the spicy burrata rose pasta and rich pappardelle carbonara made a satisfying dinner for two. Verdict: a solid pick for a Gangnam date or quiet gathering. ## Good to know - **Address**: 22 Gangnam-daero 96-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2F (서울 강남구 강남대로96길 22 2층) - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:15 (last order 20:30) - **Darak Rose Pasta**: ₩18,000 - **Flat Carbonara**: ₩18,000 - **Visit time**: Just before 7 p.m. on a weekday evening; seated without a wait *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* After work, my wife and I were wondering what to have for dinner, and it had been a while since we’d craved Italian food, so we headed toward Gangnam Station. I’d heard the name so many times but had never actually gone—so we finally visited Eulji Darak Gangnam Station (을지다락 강남역). ![Visit to Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-01-1ypka-900.webp) ![Visit to Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-02-16ay3-900.webp) ![Visit to Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-03-nb7dm-900.webp) ![Visit to Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-04-1r917-900.webp) ![Visit to Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-05-dkbvy-900.webp) ![Entrance to Eulji Darak Gangnam Station with its unusual door](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-06-41jly-900.webp) As you can see in the photos, the door here is really unusual. At first I tried opening something that wasn’t the door and got flustered when it wouldn’t open—if you come with friends, I think you’ll find it fun right from the entrance. ## Eulji Darak Gangnam Station at a glance - Address: 22 Gangnam-daero 96-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2F (about a 4-minute walk from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station, Lines 2 and Shinbundang) - Hours: Daily 11:30–21:15 (last order 20:30) - A pasta restaurant tucked into a Gangnam Station side street, with standout atmospheric interiors! ## What is the atmospheric space in a Gangnam Station alley like? ![Interior atmosphere at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-07-3oxqd-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-08-1vssg-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-09-1sros-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-10-s7lo4-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-11-hppbk-900.webp) ![Interior atmosphere at Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-12-yj09g-900.webp) Once you head into the alley, the white exterior and entrance glowing with yellow light immediately catch your eye. Upstairs, the whole second floor is the restaurant. Marble-patterned tables and wooden chairs line the window side, while feather pendant lights hang softly from the ceiling. Near the entrance, there is also a display area with a vintage chandelier inside a glass case, so anyone who enjoys photos will definitely take a shot here. The inner room has cozier tables with white curtains and artificial flowers, making it feel well suited to dates, blind dates, or wedding-invitation gatherings where you want to talk quietly. We arrived a little before 7 p.m. on a weekday evening and were seated right away without a wait. ## What we ordered and the table bell ![Ordered Darak Rose Pasta and flat carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-13-qcci2-900.webp) - Darak Rose Pasta: ₩18,000 - Flat Carbonara: ₩18,000 To order, you shake the bell placed on the table to call a staff member. It was a refreshing, unusual system, and they came over more quickly than I expected—the service felt really good. The food also arrived without a long wait after we ordered, which was nice. ## How spicy is the Darak Rose Pasta? ![Darak Rose Pasta topped with burrata cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-14-1dekg-900.webp) ![Darak Rose Pasta topped with burrata cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-15-1g576-900.webp) ![Darak Rose Pasta topped with burrata cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-16-1lu0q-900.webp) ![Darak Rose Pasta topped with burrata cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-17-avfef-900.webp) ### A tingling spice hits from the very first bite It was impressive from the visual alone. A round ball of burrata cheese sat on top of the sweet-tangy tomato-based sauce, and when I scooped up a bite and mixed in the cheese, the creaminess doubled. There was a subtle spiciness that kept the cream sauce from becoming too rich, and the minced meat flavor came through strongly too. I think the key to this dish is melting the burrata evenly into the sauce as you eat. ![Flat carbonara served with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-18-1a2dp-900.webp) ![Flat carbonara served with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-19-wovqm-900.webp) ![Flat carbonara served with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-20-6pvkc-900.webp) ## Flat carbonara: be sure to mix in the egg yolk ### The best part is the moment you break the yolk The flat pappardelle was generously coated in cream sauce, with an egg yolk and a heap of pancetta (Italian cured pork belly, similar to bacon) in the center—a visual that really caught my attention. Breaking the yolk and mixing it through the noodles made it much softer and even nuttier. Mushrooms scattered throughout kept the texture interesting, and the cheese aroma was strong, so I think it would pair even better with wine or bread. ## Rose pasta vs. flat carbonara Both dishes had their own clear appeal: I recommend the rose pasta if you like spicy cream sauce, and the flat carbonara if you want deep, rich nuttiness. At around ₩36,000 for two people, it was a substantial meal for the heart of Gangnam Station, and with the atmosphere included, it felt well worth it. If you are looking for a blind-date spot, wedding-invitation gathering, or casual date course near Gangnam Station, I think it is worth adding to your list. Next time, I want to try the crab cream risotto or grilled pork neck steak, too! ![Featured dining review photo of Eulji Darak Gangnam Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta-21-1omyp-1200.webp) ## Where it is - Eulji Darak Gangnam Station (을지다락 강남역) (을지다락 강남역) - 22 Gangnam-daero 96-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 2F (서울 강남구 강남대로96길 22 2층) - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로96길 22 2층 - 37.4999202, 127.0287954 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%84%EC%A7%80%EB%8B%A4%EB%9D%BD%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%97%AD/@37.4999202,127.0287954,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@station-table-seoul/gangnam-euljidarak-carbonara-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
