Review:  You can't really go wrong with Nolboo.  One of the largest chains here in Korea, they have budaechigae (military base soup), kalbi, myungga (traditional Korean food, at Kosuk bus terminal).  This is one of their duck food chains and it doesn't disappoint.  Not only is the roasted duck juicy and tender, but the rice inside is extraordinarily tasty, replete with dates, nuts, and sticky purple rice

Unfortunately, I didn't get to take too many pictures of the food, and only remembered to take pictures after we had already devoured the majority of the duck, but as you can see from the thoroughness of our consumption even just halfway through the meal, the duck was extremely tasty.  One duck will feed between 2-3 people (my friend Lisa, my dad and I shared one and there was still a lot of duck remaining) and will cost about 50,000 won.  There is also a pretty good drink menu, albeit only Korean liquor.  The kimchi as well is really tasty as are the other panchan (side dishes).  Though I don't have a business card or map, I do have the phone number, you should make reservations beforehand and can ask for reservations then.  A great spot if you are in Jamsil or over by Samsung station.
