# Hongdae restaurant in Seoul with a photo-worthy hanok facade: Anok - By Jina Roh (https://superchart.com/en/@seongsu-noon-noodle/) - Written Sep 18, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Mapo, Seoul - Sponsored: Sponsored - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@seongsu-noon-noodle/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-a454/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@seongsu-noon-noodle/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-a454/index.md) ## In short 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. ## Good to know - **Clear gomtang**: 13,000 won - **Pyongyang naengmyeon (in broth)**: 14,000 won - **Pork tail jjim**: 29,000 won - **Location**: 13-4 Hongik-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul — about 300m, a 4-5 minute walk from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station (Line 2) - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; public transport recommended - **Seating**: Tables for four and for two, with a more private corner on one side - **Event**: One free drink when you write a review *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![홍대 한옥 한식당 안옥 대표 사진](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-01-1a2vv-1200.webp) ## Why we looked for a hanok gomtang restaurant in Hongdae ![홍익로 골목에 자리한 안옥 한옥 외관](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-02-zmn32-966.webp) ![외국인 관광객이 사진 찍는 안옥 입구](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-03-10rmr-966.webp) ![안옥 간판이 걸린 한옥 세로 외관](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-04-1vvsn-966.webp) ![안옥의 넓은 한옥식 마당](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-05-1fod6-966.webp) ![익선동 한옥 카페 느낌의 안옥 마당 풍경](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-06-pl426-966.webp) It had been ages since I'd had proper Korean food, what with travel and everything else — and then one day I suddenly craved something hot and soupy, and something spicy too. Eating Korean food when you go out isn't exactly common these days, but if you want it, you go get it, right? Haha. ![안옥 한옥 건물과 마당 전경](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-07-fbyf4-966.webp) ![안옥 실내 한옥 구조와 테이블](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-08-1505s-966.webp) ![안옥 2인용·4인용 테이블이 놓인 실내](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-09-1xm9x-966.webp) ![프라이빗한 느낌의 안옥 안쪽 좌석](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-10-i96kx-966.webp) Hongdae is mostly full of restaurants, cafes and bars that cater to younger crowds, so when I heard there was a place with a quiet hanok (traditional Korean house) interior serving gomtang (clear beef bone soup) and Pyongyang naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles), my wife and I had to check it out. We had dinner at Anok, known as a go-to spot for gomtang and Pyongyang naengmyeon in Hongdae. ![안옥 창밖으로 보이는 한옥 기와](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-11-gfucs-966.webp) ![열린 창 너머 마당이 보이는 안옥 좌석](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-12-8ovcx-966.webp) ![곰탕과 평양냉면이 적힌 안옥 메뉴판](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-13-1wmty-966.webp) ![안옥 기본 반찬 궁채나물무침](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-14-agfym-966.webp) ## How to get to Anok from Hongik University Station, and parking ![안옥 반찬 깍두기 한 접시](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-15-1t7rn-966.webp) ![안옥 반찬 김치 한 접시](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-16-b9emr-966.webp) ![고기 고명에 올려 먹는 안옥 고추지](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-17-1jqxu-966.webp) ![안옥 곰탕과 평양냉면, 돼지꼬리찜 한 상](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-18-18dih-966.webp) Anok is about 300m from Exit 9 of Hongik University Station on Line 2 — a close 4-5 minute walk. It's near Hongik-ro, so it's not hard to find. ![돼지고기 고명이 가득한 안옥 평양냉면](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-19-5q2vn-966.webp) ![안옥 평양냉면 메밀면과 맑은 육수](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-20-1qpl6-966.webp) ![평양냉면 면과 고기를 싸서 먹는 모습](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-21-wp1iw-966.webp) ![매콤한 양념의 안옥 돼지꼬리찜 한 접시](https://img.superchart.com/images/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon/anok-hongdae-hanok-gomtang-naengmyeon-22-imlvp-966.webp) There's no dedicated parking lot, and parking in Hongdae is famously difficult anyway, so I'd recommend public transit.
