Ordering chicken kalguksu with a small bossam let the writer alternate between light chicken broth and moist sliced pork, and Todamok's wide dining room and on-site parking suited a family meal. For a filling lunch that isn't heavy or spicy, the chicken kalguksu and bossam combo at Todamok is the answer. ## Good to know - **Location**: 17 Daejaengi-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 - **Reservations**: Available - **Parking**: Available - **What we ordered**: Chicken kalguksu, small bossam *as written by the visitor on Aug 25, 2026* Figuring out what to eat for lunch around Seonbu-dong in Ansan is oddly harder than it should be, just because there are so many options. A casual lunch with a friend is nice, but when you're eating with family or a bigger group, you end up looking for somewhere with a wide menu and easy parking. This time I'm writing up Todamok, a place known around Seonbu-dong for doing kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and bossam (boiled pork wraps) well together. From broth-based dishes like algon kalguksu and chicken kalguksu to bossam, potato pancake, and dumplings, there's enough range that a group can order a bit of everything and share. ![Main photo of Todamok in Seonbu-dong, Ansan](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-01-1le0j-1200.webp) ## Where is Todamok, and what are its hours? - Location | 17 Daejaengi-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - Hours | 11:00–21:00 - Reservations | Available - Parking | Available ### Todamok's exterior and parking ![Todamok's exterior with a hanok-style feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-02-15cen-900.webp) The first thing you notice is the relaxed atmosphere with a slight hanok (traditional Korean house) feel. The wood and traditional-style exterior give it a warm, welcoming look that matches its name, and the neighborhood around it is fairly laid-back, so it almost feels like a little outing just to come eat. ### Inside Todamok: dining room and seating ![Todamok's spacious interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-03-2c5m6-900.webp) ![View of the seating area inside Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-04-1akjb-900.webp) Step inside and the space is a lot bigger than the exterior suggests! ![Well-spaced tables at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-05-1350e-900.webp) ![Seating area at Todamok suited for larger groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-06-1xttj-900.webp) The tables have decent spacing, and beyond the regular seating there's room set up for larger groups, which makes it a good option for a family meal or a get-together. ## Banchan side dishes and kimchi at Todamok ![A full spread of banchan at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-07-rfi8y-900.webp) ![Kimchi served alongside kalguksu at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-08-1embm-900.webp) Personally, I think kimchi really matters when you're eating kalguksu or bossam. A bite of warm kalguksu just isn't the same without a piece of kimchi on top, haha. Bossam gets eaten with kimchi and seasoned sides, while kalguksu is mostly about the broth and noodles, so the flavors on the table never felt one-note. ## How does Todamok's chicken kalguksu taste? I ordered two things that day. - 🥣 Chicken kalguksu — knife-cut noodles in a richly simmered chicken broth with tender chicken and chewy noodles - 🥩 Bossam side — ordered to eat alongside I figured kalguksu alone might feel a little lacking, so I added a meat dish too, and the combo turned out to be pretty great. Eating noodles in the warm broth and then switching over to bossam every so often made the whole meal feel a lot more filling! ![Chicken kalguksu and bossam side spread at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-09-49ezp-900.webp) The chicken kalguksu was the dish I was most looking forward to that day. I tried the broth first, and instead of anything sharp, spicy, or salty, what came through was a mild, savory flavor. The chicken broth had a rich depth to it without being heavy, and it filled me up in a warm, comforting way. ![Chicken kalguksu with chewy noodles in chicken broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-10-jw4km-900.webp) For me, the broth is the make-or-break part of kalguksu, and here I liked scooping up noodles and broth together rather than eating the noodles alone. The noodles weren't overcooked or mushy — they kept that signature chewy kalguksu texture, which went well with the broth. There was chicken meat in there too, which made it much more filling than a noodles-only bowl. ## Eating the small bossam with the kalguksu ![A plate of bossam side at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-11-1dwxz-900.webp) And then the bossam I ordered alongside! Taking a bite of pork here and there between bowls of kalguksu worked better than I expected. The pork was on the soft, moist side rather than dry. ![Moist bossam pork at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-12-19fcw-900.webp) ![Bossam eaten together with kimchi at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch-13-bjuxl-900.webp) Eating the pork with kimchi and the side dishes made it even better than the meat on its own. Bossam has a clean, mild flavor to the meat itself, so alternating it with the chicken kalguksu kept things from feeling repetitive. ## Is Todamok worth it for lunch in Ansan? - Mild, savory chicken kalguksu - Good pairing when ordered together with bossam - Spacious, clean dining room for a comfortable meal - Easy parking if you're driving - A good fit for family meals or lunch with a group - Recommended for anyone who prefers hearty, comforting Korean food over anything too spicy ## Where it is - Todamok (토담옥) - 17 Daejaengi-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 안산시 단원구 대쟁이길 17 토담옥 - 37.3503818, 126.7971216 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%86%A0%EB%8B%B4%EC%98%A5/@37.3503818,126.7971216,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-coffee-sill/todamok-ansan-chicken-kalguksu-bossam-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
