Hongdae restaurant in Seoul with a photo-worthy hanok facade: Anok
Anok is a hanok Korean restaurant on Hongik-ro in Mapo-gu, Seoul, a 4-5 minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station. A married couple came for dinner and ordered clear gomtang (beef and pork bone soup, 13,000 won), Pyongyang naengmyeon in broth (cold buckwheat noodles, 14,000 won) and pork tail jjim (spicy braised pork tail, 29,000 won), and both soup bowls arrived heaped with pork toppings. With its calm hanok setting, Anok suits treating parents or older guests to a meal in Hongdae.
