Anyang aged sashimi restaurant family meal: Namhae Mulgogi

I had an aged sashimi set with my parents at Namhae Mulgogi Anyang (남해물고기 안양점) near Beomgye Station. Sushi and cooked dishes came between the sashimi, followed by shabu-shabu at the end, so our family could sample a good variety of dishes.

Where is it, and are reservations and parking available?

After passing through Beomgye Rodeo Street, I found Namhae Mulgogi Anyang on the fourth floor of Jungang Plaza. The address is 42 Pyeongchon-daero 223beon-gil, Room 404, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do.

According to the original guide, the hours are 11:30–22:50 from Tuesday through Sunday, and the restaurant is closed every Monday. Reservations and parking are also listed as available.

What was the atmosphere like for a meal with parents?

The restaurant was clean overall, and the large windows kept it from feeling cramped. The table spacing was comfortable, so I thought it was a good place to eat with my parents. I also felt it could work for a family gathering or company dinner with an advance reservation.

What came with the aged sashimi set?

Porridge and mulhoe (chilled spicy seafood soup) came first as starters. The porridge contained fish and was savory and soft, while the mulhoe was tart and refreshing, which whetted my appetite.

The main aged sashimi platter included several varieties. The owner explained each type of fish, although I did not remember all their names. It was fun trying different pieces, and I also enjoyed the futomaki and Spanish mackerel sushi served alongside them.

I am not very good at eating fishy foods, but I did not notice a fishy taste in the sashimi I had that day. I also liked how softly it broke apart in my mouth.

Which cooked dishes stood out besides the sashimi?

Yuringi, bouillabaisse, and grilled Spanish mackerel followed one after another. I liked being able to try other dishes in between the sashimi instead of having sashimi alone throughout the meal. Everything was tasty overall, but the yuringi stood out most to me.

How filling was the meal after the final shabu-shabu?

At the end, shabu-shabu with vegetables and meat arrived. The broth was mildly spicy, and it was a nice way to finish the meal with something warm. I thought it would also pair well with drinks.

There was quite a generous amount of meat in the shabu-shabu, so I felt full through the end. At first, I wondered whether we could finish everything, but my family usually eats well and we left nothing behind.

My father was especially pleased and said he would like to come back for a company dinner with his colleagues. I was also satisfied with this family meal because my parents and I could enjoy a range of dishes, from sashimi to warm cooked food.
