The meat comes in big slices, so one bowl is really filling. I kept reaching for the large, tender pieces of warm boiled pork with the meat sauce on top—they were so mild and delicious. ![Clear, clean gomtang broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-16-lxhtb-900.webp) The broth is really clear, right? It has gomtang's deep savory flavor, but it is clear and clean, so I kept drinking it. ![Rice mixed into gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-17-tvke6-900.webp) ![A hearty bowl of gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-18-1ygsb-900.webp) I mixed in a whole bowl of rice for a hearty meal, and then the braised pork tails arrived—why was the portion so big? ## Spicy-sweet braised pork tails ![Generous portion of braised pork tails](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-19-fvo8m-1200.webp) The combination was so good: clear broth alongside spicy braised pork tails. The fat was wonderfully chewy with a spicy sauce—about as hot as Shin Ramyun? It isn't very spicy!! ![Braised pork tails with spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-20-waca3-900.webp) The spicy-sweet, savory seasoning went so well with the tender fat. ![Side dish with braised pork tails](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-21-dg8np-900.webp) ## Pyongyang naengmyeon for the last of summer And there was Pyongyang naengmyeon too—just right for a summer menu. ![Pyongyang naengmyeon as a summer menu item](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-22-1dst5-900.webp) The Pyongyang naengmyeon was clean-tasting too, with a clear, salty meat-based broth. ![Meat-based broth for Pyongyang naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-23-k5bgs-900.webp) The noodles had a distinct buckwheat aroma, and the noodles themselves were delicious. ![Buckwheat-aroma noodles in Pyongyang naengmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok-24-32017-900.webp) I wrapped a big piece of meat around the chewy, springy noodles and slurped them down, finishing with Pyongyang naengmyeon for the last of summer. ## Where it is - Anok (안옥) (안옥) - 13-4 Hongik-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 홍익로 13-4 - 37.5536729, 126.9229752 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%88%EC%98%A5/@37.5536729,126.9229752,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-meal-pause/hongdae-hanok-family-dining-anok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
