# Chicken kalguksu and potato pancake in Seonbu-dong, Ansan: Todamok - By Haedam (https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-address-book-3/) - Written Aug 15, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Ansan, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-address-book-3/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@restaurant-address-book-3/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/index.md) ## In short Todamok is a kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup) and Korean restaurant on Daejaengi-gil in Seonbu-dong, Ansan, Gyeonggi. Two of us stopped by after work and ordered chicken kalguksu for 12,000 won, a potato pancake, and an egg roll for 11,000 won, and the potato pancake was crisp outside, soft inside and seasoned well enough to eat without any sauce. With private rooms, a wooden deck and a free coffee machine outside, Todamok works just as well for team dinners and family meals. ## Good to know - **Location**: 17 Daejaengi-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do (Todamok) - **Chicken kalguksu**: 12,000 won - **Egg roll**: 11,000 won - **Potato pancake**: 1,000 won more than the chicken kalguksu - **Summer specials**: Chogye guksu and chogye bibim guksu, chilled chicken-broth noodles (kimchi also sold) - **Signature dish**: Algoni kalguksu (noodle soup with fish roe and milt) - **Parking**: In front of and near the restaurant - **Seating**: Large hall, private rooms, and a wooden deck out front - **After the meal**: Coffee machine, iced tea and ice just outside the restaurant *as written by the visitor on Aug 15, 2026* ![Exterior view of Todamok, a Korean restaurant in Seonbu-dong, Ansan](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-01-1q5yl-900.webp) ![Todamok's building and surrounding scenery](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-02-z795i-900.webp) I visited Todamok, a Korean restaurant in Seonbu-dong, Ansan! I went for dinner after work, but I feel like it'd be great for lunch too, any time really. Let me leave a detailed review below~ ## Parking and how to find Todamok in Ansan ![Parking space in front of Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-03-wpuo5-900.webp) ![Cars parked in Todamok's parking area](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-04-1qq7x-m-900.webp) Todamok is located in kind of a countryside village area, so public transit looks tricky — I'd recommend driving. You can park in front of and near the restaurant. There were a lot of individual taxis parked there too? Maybe a group of taxi drivers having a get-together or something, who knows. Anyway, there's a wooden deck out front, and the vibe and view were so good~ ![Wooden deck and view in front of Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-05-2vxlp-900.webp) ![Todamok's spacious hall seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-06-11ms1-900.webp) ## Todamok's large hall and private rooms for team dinners Todamok also looks really good for group dinners and gatherings. Families would be comfortable here too. It's spacious, really spacious~~ ![Todamok's private room with the door open](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-07-m6dvo-900.webp) The space you see in the photo above has its door open, but it's definitely used as a private room. Perfect for get-togethers! Maybe that's why — when we visited, it felt like a group of guests had just wrapped up a company dinner! ![Sign for Todamok's summer special chogye guksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-08-o8egj-900.webp) ![Todamok's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-09-1ubay-900.webp) For summer specials, there's chogye guksu (chilled chicken noodle soup) and chogye bibim guksu (chilled spicy mixed noodles), and they sell kimchi too! The prices were reasonable so I was tempted to order chogye guksu, but ended up ordering kalguksu instead... ## What two of us ordered: chicken kalguksu, potato pancake, egg roll ![Table setting with chicken kalguksu and potato pancake ordered at Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-10-q82kr-1200.webp) There were so many Korean dishes to my taste that I wanted to order everything, but that wasn't really possible... so after a long deliberation, here's what I selected (?). Two of us visited and ordered chicken kalguksu and potato pancake, plus egg roll (not shown in the photo). ![Basic side dishes served with the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-11-1jas4-900.webp) First, the basic side dishes came out, and they paired perfectly with the kalguksu! ![A bowl of Todamok's chicken kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-12-bpont-900.webp) ![Chicken kalguksu with chicken meat mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-13-1f14r-900.webp) ### Chicken kalguksu, 12,000 won Chicken kalguksu is, as the name suggests, knife-cut noodle soup with chicken meat in it. Price: 12,000 won! There was also algoni kalguksu, which looked like it'd be great for hangover relief or as a drinking snack, but after much deliberation I ordered the chicken kalguksu instead! Not because we don't drink or anything (???), just... this one appealed to me more,,, ![Noodles from the chicken kalguksu lifted out with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-14-1tx7l-900.webp) ![Generous noodles and broth in the kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-15-3aklw-900.webp) There was a family with a kid at the table next to us, and it looked like something kids could eat too! The noodles were pretty generous, and it was pretty tasty overall~ Todamok's signature dish is algoni kalguksu, so next time I'll definitely try that one too.... ![A plate of Todamok's potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-16-1a0y4-900.webp) ![Golden-fried potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-17-1qp0r-900.webp) ### Why Todamok's potato pancake costs more than the kalguksu It's a bit much for a side dish to cost more than the chicken kalguksu, haha (though it's only a 1,000 won difference), but I still ordered the potato pancake for a reason! Even before we went, while deciding what to eat, this potato pancake was something I really wanted to order. It had that real, steamed-potato kind of feel to it. ![Cross-section of the crispy-outside, tender-inside potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-18-go31f-900.webp) It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, so I ate it up happily. It had a bit of seasoning already worked in, so I didn't need to dip it in anything and still enjoyed it. A while back I ordered potato pancake at some restaurant for a hefty price and was disappointed because it wasn't that good, but this one passed with flying colors!!! Check out the video too~ ![Todamok's egg roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-19-a8qd6-900.webp) ![The original egg roll served without ketchup](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-20-183pz-900.webp) ### Egg roll, 11,000 won My companion said they were already full from something they ate earlier, so we didn't order too much food (?) and just got the egg roll. At 11,000 won, it's just a solid, standard egg roll. The menu photo had ketchup drizzled on it so I thought it'd come with ketchup, but it actually came out as a plain original egg roll. But I'm fine without ketchup, and it felt like too much effort to ask for some... so I just ate it as is. ![An emptied kalguksu bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-21-a1gi3-900.webp) I scraped the bowl completely clean... ugh, so full. But there are still so many dishes I want to try. The whole chicken looks tasty too... the bossam (boiled pork wraps) looks tasty too... the hot pot too... guess I'll have to come back again... ![Dessert corner outside Todamok](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-22-1nzv4-900.webp) ## Free coffee from the machine outside Todamok Outside the restaurant there's coffee and iced tea you can have for dessert. ![Coffee machine for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-23-k9f58-900.webp) ![Dessert area with iced tea and ice ready to go](https://img.superchart.com/images/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu-24-1wca7-900.webp) There's an actual coffee machine!!! There's ice too. A satisfying, full-stomach dinner all the way through to dessert. If you're looking for a good Korean restaurant in Seonbu-dong, Ansan, definitely stop by Todamok~ The view alone was so good!!! I wanted to take a walk nearby afterward but couldn't, which I regret, sniff. ## Where it is - Todamok (토담옥) - 17 Daejaengi-gil, Danwon-gu, Ansan-si, 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/@restaurant-address-book-3/todamok-ansan-seonbu-dinner-kalguksu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
