Ansan Gojan Western restaurant, no wait at 5pm Monday: Two Find Peter

I headed to Ansan to see a close younger friend I hadn't met in ages. She lives near Gojan-dong, so I searched for good Ansan Gojan eats and picked a restaurant everyone seems to be talking about. We arrived at 5pm, right after the break time. Did we get in without a wait? Short answer: we got a quiet table and cleared all three dishes haha

Let me tell you about the sous vide pork neck steak, abalone innards cream risotto and spicy crab pasta we had at Two Find Peter Ansan Gojan.

Is there a wait at Two Find Peter Ansan Gojan at 5pm on a weekday?

We got to Two Find Peter Ansan Gojan at 5pm on a Monday, just as the break time ended, and were seated right away with no wait. Aim for an early weekday evening and you can eat here at a relaxed pace.

We spent a long time deciding where to go, but my friend already knew Two Find Peter since it's in her neighborhood. Hearing it was the talk of the area, I added it to my list of Ansan Gojan restaurants without much fuss and set off. On a weekend you'd probably have to queue, but on a Monday evening it was quiet.

It had been a while since my last trip to Ansan so I was excited, and the delicious-looking menu made me even more so. We decided to order the signature set.

Is the Two Find Peter interior in Gojan-dong good for talking?

Two Find Peter Ansan Gojan is a modern space done in wood tones, with soft lighting and generous space between tables, so we could talk comfortably without raising our voices. The wood-toned interior was the first thing I noticed when I opened the door.

The lighting isn't too bright, the tables are spaced well, and no noise drifted over from the next table. The music was gentle too, so we could chat easily. We hadn't seen each other for a while and had a lot to catch up on, so I was grateful for this atmosphere. If you're looking for a calm restaurant in Gojan-dong, you'll like it. Among the Western places in Gojan-dong, this was a great spot for a leisurely chat.

Signature set: sous vide pork neck steak and abalone innards cream risotto

The Two Find Peter signature set came with sous vide pork neck steak, abalone innards cream risotto and spicy crab rosé pasta, plus orange juice.

Sous vide pork neck steak

The sous vide pork neck steak came first, and even though it's pork, it was tender with none of the dryness. I guess that's thanks to the sous vide cooking~

A lightly spicy seasoning on top kept it from feeling heavy. Alternating with the wedge potatoes served alongside, I never got tired of it.

Abalone innards cream risotto

With Two Find Peter's abalone innards cream risotto, a nutty aroma rose the moment I put my spoon in. The richness of the innards made the texture go down smoothly. The cream wasn't heavy, so it was easy on the stomach. My friend seemed to love this risotto, because her spoon kept coming back to it.

How was the spicy crab pasta?

Two Find Peter's spicy crab pasta had well-cooked noodles and a thick sauce that clung to them instead of being watery. I tried it last, and the noodles still had their texture.

The sauce coated the noodles so richly that I thought, this is a real pasta place. The tomato acidity and the creamy softness didn't lean to either side! I've had pasta in Gojan-dong elsewhere too, but I think I'll remember this sauce's thickness for a long time.

Orange juice and a good portion for two

The orange juice we ordered tasted freshly squeezed, with really rich juice that cleaned up my palate. We shared three plates and still finished everything. I worried it might be too little, but the signature set was quite generous for two.
