Ttukseom Dorak: A Healthy and Delicious Korean Meal Near Seongsu Station
Looking for a hearty and healthy meal near Seongsu Station? I highly recommend ‘Ttukseom Dorak’!
Located about 200m straight from Seongsu Station Exit 2 towards Konkuk University Station.
Turn left at Haesung Car Inspection Center and go about 100m further. It's next to Hankyung Hwa Seolleongtang, opposite KT Gwangjin Branch.
From the entrance, you can feel a clean and cozy atmosphere unique to Korean restaurants.
Stepping inside, you'll immediately notice the spacious and pleasant interior!
The tables are spaced generously, making it comfortable and cozy – perfect for group reservations, company dinners, or family gatherings.
Ttukseom Dorak has a really diverse menu!
Grilled fish, barley rice, pot rice, stir-fried spicy pork, kimchi stew, galbi-tang (short rib soup), yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), gomtang (beef bone soup), dried pollack soup, dolsot bibimbap (stone pot mixed rice), acorn jelly salad, Hamheung cold noodles, braised fish… It's like they've gathered all the basics of Korean cuisine in one place!
Plus, they have a variety of fresh pork/beef dishes with kimchi, bean sprouts, and mushrooms, so you won't get tired of it even if you come every day!
Who could dislike these Korean dishes? hehe
Even though summer is over, they still have summer menus!
In these times of high prices, it's such a great value at just 9,000 won!
I ordered the ‘Assorted Fish Set’ (mackerel + sandfish + Spanish mackerel + pot rice for 2 + cheonggukjang)!
The full table setting was fantastic ✨
And the set of 3 kinds of fish (mackerel, sandfish, Spanish mackerel)!
First of all, the grilling is perfect here.
The outside is grilled golden brown, so crispy that it makes a 'pop' sound when you touch it with chopsticks, and the inside is moist and juicy.
The mackerel has just the right amount of oil, so when you take a bite, a savory flavor spreads in your mouth, and its unique saltiness perfectly balances with the plainness of the pot rice.
A piece of mackerel on top of rice, with a bite of kimchi - it's truly a rice thief!
The sandfish has a firm yet soft texture.
It has less fat than mackerel, so it's light and clean, with a subtle sweetness at the end.
The outside is slightly crispy and savory, and the inside has a dense texture, making it really enjoyable to chew.
The Spanish mackerel melts in your mouth.
The fat is evenly distributed, leaving a soft and rich savory taste.
The Spanish mackerel has a unique sweetness, making it a perfect match with salty soy sauce-based side dishes ✨
All three fish are not too salty and maintain a very good balance between salty and plain, so they go well with rice, side dishes, and cheonggukjang without being overpowering.
The moment you open the earthenware pot, the savory scent of rice spreads, and the shine of freshly cooked rice immediately catches your eye ✨
Each grain of rice is distinct and springy when you pick it up with chopsticks, and it sticks slightly to your mouth.
The more you chew, the deeper the savory flavor spreads, and the warm steam rising from the rice makes it a wonderful dish on its own ✨
Finally, pour hot broth over the remaining scorched rice and finish with a savory scorched rice soup – your mouth will be filled with savory goodness —
That slight bitterness and savouriness are strangely addictive, making you keep going back for another spoonful.
The basic side dishes are also very substantial!
They offer a variety of dishes such as kimchi, acorn jelly, pickled vegetables, etc., and most of all, you can enjoy them as much as you want with self-refills ✨
All the side dishes are not overpowering and are neatly prepared, enhancing the flavor of the grilled fish even more.
Lastly, the cheonggukjang!
The aroma that comes from the bubbling pot is truly savory.
It's not too strong or salty, so when you eat it with grilled fish, it cleanses your palate without any greasiness.
A spoonful of rice, a piece of fish, and a bite of cheonggukjang – this combination is truly perfect.
It's like your stomach feels warm and cozy after eating... truly a healthy and satisfying meal ✨
Overall
‘Ttukseom Dorak’ is a place where you can have a hearty and healthy meal ✨.
It's also a great value, making it a perfect place for lunch, dinner, or group meals.
