We shared the ₩39,000 two-person set with half a serving of bossam. A satisfying choice for two people wanting both spicy and mild soups. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Tue–Sun 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:00, except Sat–Sun - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Closed**: Mondays - **Parking**: Large private parking lot in front of the building - **Algoni kalguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Chicken kalguksu**: ₩12,000 - **Two-person kalguksu + half bossam set**: ₩39,000 - **Potato pancake**: ₩13,000 - **Rolled omelet**: ₩11,000 - **Dumplings**: ₩7,000 - **Self-service corner**: Unlimited rice refills and self-service dessert drinks *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* Today, my husband and I finally went for Todamok (토담옥)'s algoni kalguksu for lunch at a great Seonbu-dong spot! ![Meal at Todamok with algoni kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-01-18bl9-1200.webp) When I came with my mom last time, I heard it was spicy and left without trying it, haha. But this time, even spice-shy me was determined to give it a go, so my husband and I came prepared! ♡ ## Todamok hours and parking - Hours: Tuesday–Sunday, 11:00–21:00 - Break time: 15:00–16:00 except Saturday and Sunday / last order: 20:30 - Closed regularly on Mondays! - There is a large private parking lot in front of the building, so it is easy to visit by car. ˊᴗˋ ![Atmosphere inside Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-02-1cbt1-900.webp) ![Spacious interior at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-03-1xti3-900.webp) ## A spacious, pleasant interior with private rooms ![Todamok interior decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-04-1otbk-900.webp) ![Pleasant dining area at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-05-fv6nw-900.webp) Since this was my second visit, I walked right in like I knew the place—but every time I come, I am struck by just how spacious and pleasant it is.ᵎᵎ ![Sign for the indoor restroom at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-06-1j7e1-900.webp) I also loved that the restroom is inside the restaurant. ![Private dining room at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-07-9sryt-900.webp) Best of all, there are private rooms, which look perfect for a quiet meal. I think they would be wonderful for a family gathering, too. ![Tables inside Todamok's standalone building](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-08-187g8-900.webp) ![Generous spacing between tables at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-09-ymy39-900.webp) It is a standalone building with plenty of space between tables, and the aquarium by the entrance and animal area were still adorably decorated, haha. ![Animal area by the Todamok entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-10-mcc84-900.webp) After eating, we looked at the guinea pigs and rabbits again, and my husband stared at them even longer than I did! So cute... haha. ![Guinea pigs and rabbits at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-11-1i883-900.webp) ![Self-service corner at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-12-1r381-900.webp) More than anything, Todamok has a self-service corner where you can get unlimited rice refills and pour yourself a dessert drink, making it perfect for a relaxed, comfortable meal. ## Two-person set with algoni and chicken kalguksu, plus bossam ![Todamok kalguksu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-13-1m0e9-900.webp) The signature dishes are algoni kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup with fish roe and milt) for ₩12,000 and chicken kalguksu for ₩12,000. The ₩39,000 two-person kalguksu + half bossam (boiled pork) set comes with one algoni kalguksu, one chicken kalguksu, and a half serving of bossam. There are also sides such as potato pancake for ₩13,000, rolled omelet for ₩11,000, and dumplings for ₩7,000. This time, we ordered the two-person kalguksu + half bossam set! It was perfect because we could try both algoni and chicken kalguksu. ˊᴗˋ You can order with a staff member, and they set our table quickly, so we could eat comfortably without waiting. ![Two-person table setting with kalguksu and bossam](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-14-1ln9n-900.webp) ### Can spice-shy diners take on algoni kalguksu? The algoni kalguksu I had been waiting for finally arrived! A generous pile of crown daisy sat on top of the red broth, and underneath were visibly plentiful fish roe and milt. I love algoni so, so much, so I was simply happy... haha. ![Algoni kalguksu topped with crown daisy](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-15-1gswq-900.webp) I took a spoonful of broth, and it was pleasantly spicy with a burst of that refreshing, savory seafood flavor. It was not just hot—the richness drawn out from the roe and milt made me keep reaching for more, haha. ![Spicy kalguksu with fish roe and milt](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-16-1cuut-900.webp) It was a little spicy, but I got used to it as I ate and just kept going back for more—that was its charming kind of heat.ᵎᵎ The milt was soft and became nuttier as I chewed, while the roe was plump after simmering in the broth, a real delicacy! ♡ The noodles were chewy, too, and went beautifully with the spicy soup. My husband loosened the roe and milt into the broth first as he ate, then raved that it tasted even better that way, haha. ### Chicken kalguksu, a mild pairing ![Chicken kalguksu with milky-white broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-17-ye8xp-900.webp) The chicken kalguksu my husband chose had a milky-white, clean-looking broth that looked filling even at a glance. ![Chicken kalguksu with chicken and noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-18-1r0gr-900.webp) Tender chicken came apart gently in the deeply simmered chicken broth, and eating it with the noodles felt mild and thoroughly satisfying. We each ate our own dish but shared bites, and after the spicy algoni, a sip of the chicken kalguksu broth really refreshed my palate, haha. ### Bossam that pairs well with spicy algoni kalguksu My husband has been oddly obsessed with bossam lately... We debated between it and the potato pancake, but I think ordering the bossam was absolutely the right choice. ![Bossam served with seasoned pollack](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-19-cu0g4-900.webp) When the algoni kalguksu felt spicy, the bossam meat balanced it perfectly! The meat was tender, and above all, eating it with lots of minari and seasoned pollack was such a treat, haha. ![Raised wooden platform outside the Todamok exit](https://img.superchart.com/images/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok-20-1kuv4-900.webp) There is a raised wooden platform right outside, so it would be nice to have a cup of maesil-cha (Korean plum tea) before leaving! Overall, I have visited Todamok twice for lunch in Seonbu-dong, and it has been satisfying every time. ♡ Even spice-shy diners can take on the algoni kalguksu, and chicken kalguksu is there for when you want something mild. I recommend enjoying both in the two-person set! Next time, I definitely want to order the potato pancake and spicy pollack-and-minari salad, too. I am 100% willing to come back :) ## Where it is - Todamok (토담옥) (토담옥) - 17 Daejaengi-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan, 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/@gyeonggi-window-seat/anseon-seonbudong-algoni-kalguksu-todamok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
