Visiting with a friend after making a reservation, the writer sat right under the cherry blossom tree at the center of the shop and found a name tag message and a rose waiting, alongside Korean beef yukhoe, Uiseong garlic yurinki, and basil steamed pasta. A great pick for both office dinners and dates, with both atmosphere and variety covered. ## Good to know - **Address**: 76 Gojan1-gil, 115-ho, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - **Directions**: From Exit 1 of Ansan Jungang Station, pass the Korea Tourism Education Institute, turn right, go straight, and it's in the 3rd corner building (right next to the parking entrance of the Norang Tongdak building) - **Parking**: Free for 3 hours in the basement lot (public parking support not available) - **Basil steamed pasta**: ₩24,000 - **Korean beef yukhoe (raw beef)**: ₩33,000 - **Uiseong garlic yurinki (fried chicken with sauce)**: ₩24,000 *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Cover image of izakaya Gisul in Jungang-dong, Ansan](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-01-1fi7n-675.webp) The place I visited this time is 'Gisul,' a bar in Jungang-dong, Ansan. ![View of the cherry blossom tree inside izakaya Gisul](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-02-5f4rr-900.webp) There are so many izakayas in Ansan, but I visited this one with a friend because it's popular for its great atmosphere and, above all, its huge variety of side dishes. ![Exterior of Gisul near Ansan Jungang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-03-wkjoe-m-819.webp) ## Getting there from Exit 1 of Ansan Jungang Station This is izakaya Gisul.

Walking into this bar in Jungang-dong, Ansan, I found a huge, beautiful cherry blossom tree standing right at the center of the restaurant. Even before 6 pm, half the tables were already occupied, and the rest were reserved seats marked with name tags. ![The large cherry blossom tree at the center of the bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-06-e6buf-756.webp) ![Table seating beneath the cherry blossom tree](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-07-d12am-819.webp) ![The izakaya's hall, about half full of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-08-u8rd6-900.webp) ![Seat under the cherry blossom tree surrounded by flowers on all sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-09-17d0a-900.webp) We took a seat right under the cherry blossom tree in this Jungang-dong bar, and blossoms were visible on all sides — the atmosphere was gorgeous and so pretty. It really seems like a great spot for both office dinners and dates. ![Sink nook beside the counter with supplies laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-10-za8xk-818.webp) ### Supplies by the sink There was a little nook tucked in beside the counter, and inside was a sink — on the wall were hair ties, cotton swabs, band-aids, wet wipes, and even mouthwash, thoughtful beauty items ready to use whenever needed. ![Wall stocked with hair ties, cotton swabs, wet wipes, and more](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-11-9xjm8-900.webp) ### The name tag message and rose at the reserved seat At the table we'd reserved, there was a name tag message! > A 'good-feeling' (gi) bar (sul) — just like the shop's name, we'll do our best to make sure you have a happy, good time. That's what it said, along with a single rose. Even though I'd made the reservation myself, it felt like being invited somewhere special, and it made me so happy. ![Name tag message and a single rose at the reserved seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-12-kxrob-765.webp) ![Menu board listing side dishes and drinks at Gisul](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-13-b0rw9-738.webp) ## Gisul's menu lineup < Menu > - (Signature) Gisul Hansang set - (Weekday only!)

Fresh basil meets extra virgin olive oil for a pasta gently filled with basil aroma. ![Scooping up a serving of the pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-21-atu5y-576.webp) ![Table with yukhoe and pasta served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-22-148ve-540.webp) ![A generous spread of drinking snacks on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-23-uo7h8-522.webp) As we kept eating, the chicken nanban, yukhoe, and pasta all came out in generous portions — perfect for drinking. ![Notice certifying the store's draft beer cleanliness practices](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat/ansan-joongang-izakaya-gisul-cherry-blossom-seat-24-1s7s6-752.webp) ## How's the draft beer?
