Hongdae Seoul hanok restaurant a naengmyeon lover approved: Anok
Anok is a hanok Korean restaurant in an alley in Hongdae, Mapo, Seoul, about 7 minutes on foot from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station. On a cool day, lunch at Anok was Pyongyang naengmyeon (buckwheat cold noodles, 14,000 won), clear gomtang (beef bone soup, 13,000 won) and steamed pork tail (29,000 won), and the mild, lightly seasoned broth won over a friend who is a devoted Pyongyang naengmyeon fan. If you want a clean, comforting meal built around broth in a hanok setting, Anok is the answer.
