I had the ₩18,000 spicy pork and grilled mackerel set meals with my parents, plus self-bar sides, sikhye, and maesil tea. Verdict: a satisfying, gentle Korean meal to share with parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 33 Danggok-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 안산시 단원구 당곡로 33 고잔프라움씨티 2층) - **Ordered**: Yeongwol spicy stir-fried pork set meal, ₩18,000 - **Ordered**: Grilled mackerel set meal, ₩18,000 - **Opening time**: 10:40 a.m. - **Parking**: Basement parking supported - **Children's tableware**: Kept in the UV sterilizer above the self-bar *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Signature full set meal at Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-01-z7gip-1200.webp) Over the weekend, I was looking for a Korean restaurant where I could take my parents for a meal that was not too stimulating and would sit comfortably, so I visited Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch (영월애곤드레 안산점), an Ansan restaurant specializing in neatly arranged Korean set meals. Located on the second floor of a building in the heart of the commercial district near Gojan-dong Culture Square, it was easy to reach by public transport, and basement parking was available too—making it a good choice for a family meal or lunch gathering. ![Entrance to Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-02-ytf41-900.webp) On one side of the entrance at Yeongwolae Gondre, where I visited, was a local-government-certified Ansan restaurant designation plaque and ![Ansan restaurant designation and hygiene grade information](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-03-4y0vf-900.webp) a Ministry of Food and Drug Safety restaurant hygiene grade mark for “excellent” (three stars), which immediately gave me confidence in the restaurant’s cleanliness. ![Entrance area at Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-04-6qkkc-900.webp) There is normally a wait during peak mealtimes, so I made an opening run at 10:40 a.m. and was able to enter right away without waiting. Above all, the supported basement parking went smoothly too, making Yeongwolae Gondre a solid gathering spot. ![Korean restaurant dining room with sunlight through large windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-05-1ypth-900.webp) ## A bright, spacious dining room for gatherings The spacious dining room felt bright and open, with soft sunlight coming in through the large windows. ![Wooden partitions and widely spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-06-1qv2s-900.webp) The tables were generously spaced, so we could eat without being distracted by conversations nearby. Stylish lighting and wooden partitions kept everything neatly organized, making it comfortable for a company dinner or a small family gathering. ![Yeongwol spicy pork and grilled mackerel set meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-07-ike6n-900.webp) ## A full set of spicy pork and grilled mackerel We ordered the signature Yeongwol spicy stir-fried pork set meal (₩18,000) and grilled mackerel set meal (₩18,000). ![Menu of Korean à la carte dishes and traditional drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-08-6cn91-900.webp) The menu also had a good selection of à la carte dishes, including country-style gangdoenjang (thick fermented soybean paste stew) and Namdo-style seasoned cockles, along with traditional drinks such as Yeongwol dongdongju (unfiltered rice wine). ![Self-bar with side dishes and wrap vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-09-sazho-900.webp) ### A self-bar for side dishes and wrap vegetables While waiting for the food, I looked around the self-bar and found the side dishes neatly replenished. We could freely help ourselves to nutty perilla-seed dressed lotus root, spicy-tangy acorn jelly vegetable salad, and fresh ssam (leaf wraps) vegetables. ![Sterilized storage for children's dishes and spoons](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-10-sr06m-900.webp) Children’s dishes and spoons were hygienically stored and sterilized in the UV sterilizer above the self-bar, which showed consideration for guests dining with kids. ![Bangjja yugi tableware and a Korean set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-11-5l68r-900.webp) Even the standard tableware was substantial bangjja yugi (hand-forged Korean brassware), making the meal feel thoughtfully served! Before long, dishes in brass bowls, earthenware pots, and dedicated iron plates were laid out one after another, completing the abundant spread characteristic of a neat Korean set meal. ![Gondre rice and earthenware-pot stew set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-12-1hst1-900.webp) Freshly cooked gondre rice, steaming hot, and a hearty earthenware-pot stew added substance to the meal. The main dishes arrived on heated cast-iron pans and iron plates, staying warm throughout. The basic side dishes were not overly salty or sweet either, which suited my taste perfectly. ![Grilled mackerel set meal on an iron plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-13-ca49f-900.webp) ### Crisp and moist grilled mackerel The grilled mackerel, served on an iron plate, had thick, substantial flesh to match its size. Its skin was grilled crisp for a crunchy texture, while the flesh inside held onto moist richness without becoming dry. There was hardly any fishy smell typical of oily fish, and its lightly seasoned saltiness paired beautifully with the fragrant gondre rice. Crisp outside and tender inside—the textbook version of that combination—and a seriously excellent rice companion. ![Yeongwol spicy stir-fried pork in a cast-iron pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-14-1mx31-900.webp) ### Yeongwol spicy pork with lively charcoal aroma The Yeongwol spicy stir-fried pork arrived sizzling in a cast-iron pan, and its deep charcoal-grilled aroma alone made my appetite kick in. The pork, aged in house-made gochujang (Korean red chili paste) seasoning, was tender with a pleasant springiness rather than tough. The deeply savory seasoning had soaked into the lean meat without tasting aggressive or heavy. It was great over gondre rice, or wrapped in lettuce with garlic—the smoky flavor and crisp vegetables worked so well together. ![Spicy pork, gondre rice, and lettuce wrap combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-15-1m513-900.webp) ## Finishing with sikhye and maesil tea After the meal, I moved to the traditional jar dessert corner beside the self-bar. Earthenware jars kept in an ice bath held lightly frozen sikhye (sweet rice punch) and cool maesil tea (plum tea). ![Sikhye and maesil tea at the traditional jar dessert corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-16-ftbuu-899.webp) The ladled sikhye was clean-tasting, with the subtle natural sweetness of malt rather than an artificial sugary sweetness. A cup of sweet-tart, chilled maesil tea rounded it out, freshening up the oily finish and leaving my stomach feeling comfortable. ![A cup of sikhye and maesil tea for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-17-1s8d6-900.webp) Because the food came fully cooked in dedicated containers, we could finish the meal comfortably without worrying about food odors clinging to our clothes. At ₩18,000 per person, gondre rice, charcoal-grilled dishes, a well-stocked self-bar, and traditional desserts made it feel like excellent value. ![Dining area at Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-18-hr5ng-900.webp) ## Make an opening run to avoid the wait Since waits are usually long here, I recommend making an opening run at 10:40 a.m. if you want to enjoy your meal at an unhurried pace, ![A neat Korean set meal to finish](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-19-11hvm-900.webp) and it was a place that would be more than satisfying for anyone wanting a neat, easy-on-the-stomach meal, or looking for an Ansan Korean restaurant to take their parents to. ![Exterior and information sign at Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel-20-i1g0d-900.webp) ## Where it is - Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch (영월애곤드레 안산점) - 33 Danggok-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (경기 안산시 단원구 당곡로 33 고잔프라움씨티 2층) - 경기도 안산시 단원구 당곡로 33 고잔프라움씨티 2층 - 37.3201295, 126.8330633 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%81%EC%9B%94%EC%95%A0%EA%B3%A4%EB%93%9C%EB%A0%88%20%EC%95%88%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@37.3201295,126.8330633,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-noodle-sign/ansan-gondeure-rice-pork-mackerel/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
