Inside Concasse Anguk: a hanok-style dining room

The inside of Concasse Anguk felt warm yet upscale, with an open, airy layout. You can feel classic Korean elegance in the details, matching the mood of the Anguk neighborhood.

The interior

Stepping inside felt like entering a completely different world from outside,,💗

A few days ago I watched Minho doing bonsai on I Live Alone, and here there was a beautifully shaped bonsai pot sitting right in place ✨ It matched the interior perfectly..!

The warm yet upscale atmosphere, and especially the open, airy layout, gave me a really great first impression.

There are definitely a lot of hanok or Korean-inspired interiors in the Anguk area, and Concasse also carried that classic Korean elegance in a way that matched the neighborhood. It's a space with a lot of character, so I ended up enjoying looking at the interior as much as eating haha.

The tables were pretty spacious too, so even a group ordering several dishes wouldn't feel cramped.

There are also coat hangers behind each table, so you can easily hang up your coat or jacket :) I later found out the owner even appeared on Master in the House! Impressive 👏

Menu introduction

Ordering was simple through the QR code on the table.

The signature dishes include Beef Wellington, with juicy meat wrapped in pastry, and lajanya made with fresh pasta. Beyond that, there's a pork jowl steak with kimchi purée, salads, fusion pastas, and risottos — the lineup is varied enough that you can pick according to your taste. Corkage is available too, so it's worth noting if you're visiting with a group!

What the writer ordered: lajanya and omija ade

I ordered lajanya (23,000 won) and omija-ade (5,000 won). Even though I visited just after the lunch rush, there were quite a few foreign customers and couples on dates, and the staff were super friendly.

The atmosphere didn't feel awkward for solo dining at all, so it seemed like a fine spot for eating alone.

Lajanya (23,000 won): fresh pasta rolled into coils

The lajanya (23,000 won) looked different from a typical lasagna right from the start — the fresh pasta comes rolled up and plated that way!

I've been obsessed with ragu sauce lately, to the point where I make and prep it myself at home, so I really love tomato-based sauces (lol). I tried it with high expectations.. and the taste?

👏👏 It was packed with béchamel sauce and cheese, so the soft, savory flavor really came through. The sauce wasn't so strong that it overpowered the ragu — it enhanced the tomato-based ragu while blending smoothly with the béchamel and cheese, great harmony‼️ Being fresh pasta, the noodles had a great texture too, and eating them with the sauce made them moist and delicious.

Topping it with arugula gave a savory, rich flavor up front, then finished with the arugula's distinct bitter, clean note, which cut through the richness nicely. As someone who loves ragu sauce, I really enjoyed this‼️

Omija ade (5,000 won): how it pairs with the lajanya

The omija-ade I ordered alongside! The omija (schisandra berry) flavor was much stronger and more tart than expected, and it cleaned up my palate nicely. Since the lajanya was soft and rich from the cheese and béchamel, taking a sip of the omija-ade in between felt refreshingly tart! The lajanya + omija-ade combo is amazing, so I'd definitely recommend trying them together :)
