After a first visit for Grandma's birthday, two of us came back for a Friday after-work dinner and ordered the Yeongwol Mureungdowon set (40,000 won) with spicy stir-fried pork, grilled mackerel and gang-doenjang (thick soybean paste stew); the refillable sides like perilla lotus root salad and bellflower root, plus the wrap greens, were all satisfying. Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch is worth returning to for a healthy, not-too-salty meal or a family gathering. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2F Gojan Praum City, 33 Danggok-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi - **Location**: 911 m from Jungang Station Exit 1 - **Parking**: Free for 2 hours in the Gojan Praum City underground parking lot - **Hours**: Daily 10:40–20:50 - **Seating and reservations**: Private rooms and group seating; group reservations accepted (rooms require advance booking); high chairs available - **Corkage**: Free for up to 1 bottle - **Pets**: Not allowed - **What we ordered**: Yeongwol Mureungdowon set, 40,000 won (soybean paste stew, spicy stir-fried pork, grilled mackerel) - **Waiting**: Waitlist available through Catch Table - **Price reference**: ₩40,000 ≈ $30 (2026-10-15) *as written by the visitor on Oct 14, 2026* I went back to Yeongwolae Gondre, the Ansan Korean set-meal restaurant where we held my grandmother's birthday gathering last time, this time for dinner. Here's my honest review~🫡 ## Parking and how to get to Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch is on the 2nd floor of Gojan Praum City, 33 Danggok-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan, 911 m from Exit 1 of Jungang Station. You can use the building's underground parking, and they cover up to 2 hours. ![Sign for the Gojan Praum City underground parking](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-01-qwzd4-900.webp) Take the elevator straight up to the 2nd floor~~ ![Elevator to the 2nd floor of Gojan Praum City](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-02-bhyal-900.webp) ![2nd-floor corridor leading to Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-03-zkljb-900.webp) Once you get to the 2nd floor, Yeongwolae Gondre takes up a big space, so it was easy to find. There's a menu board outside, and comfortable chairs for waiting guests~ ![Entrance and outdoor menu board of Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-04-oxnhj-900.webp) ![Chairs for waiting guests in front of Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-05-1nkqc-900.webp) ## How long was the wait at Yeongwolae Gondre on a Friday evening? We came early on a Friday evening, so luckily there was no wait, but once dinner peak time hit, the restaurant filled up~ There's a waiting area inside too, and you can register on the Catch Table waitlist. ![First page of the Yeongwolae Gondre menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-06-151pa-900.webp) ![Set meal menu at Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-07-qrf1u-900.webp) ![Menu page explaining the set meal components](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-08-w0fr5-900.webp) ![À la carte menu at Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-09-1rn8k-900.webp) ![Additional menu page at Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-10-1uf8w-900.webp) ![Last page of the Yeongwolae Gondre menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-11-1c8jq-900.webp) ## Yeongwol Mureungdowon set for two: ₩40,000 Here's the menu. There were two of us, so we ordered the Yeongwol Mureungdowon set (₩40,000). It comes with soybean stew (gangdoenjang), spicy stir-fried pork (jeyuk-bokkeum) and grilled mackerel. I was going to order à la carte, but I wanted to try the soybean stew too, so Mureungdowon set it was! ![Wide dining hall inside Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-12-1k51t-900.webp) ![Hall seating with wide gaps between tables at Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-13-ngwbx-900.webp) ![Interior seating at Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-14-1yvet-900.webp) ![Room and group seating area at Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-15-oqe5c-900.webp) ## Is Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch good for family gatherings and first meetings between families? The inside of Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch is spacious, with wide gaps between tables and wide tables too~ There are rooms and baby chairs, so it seems great for family gatherings~~ Even on a Friday evening there were families gathering, and even a couple of groups having a first meeting between families~? You know rooms have to be reserved in advance, right? The cutlery setup is neat~ ![Cutlery set on the table at Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-16-uk6mj-900.webp) There are no wet wipes, but there's a sink where you can wash your hands. I washed my hands properly before making wraps haha ![Hand-washing sink inside Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-17-1jbwv-900.webp) They also sell homemade snacks. ![Homemade snacks sold at Yeongwolae Gondre](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-18-1q7h2-900.webp) ### Refills of side dishes, plum tea and sikhye at the self-bar For side dishes beyond the first setup, plum tea, sikhye (sweet rice drink), and extra rice and sides, use the self-bar at Yeongwolae Gondre. ![Self-bar at Yeongwolae Gondre for refilling side dishes and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-19-z3z2c-m-900.webp) ## The Mureungdowon set spread and how the sides tasted A healthy spread to soothe my Friday-after-work hunger has arrived~~ ![Yeongwol Mureungdowon set spread for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-20-1qbqn-1200.webp) The Yeongwol Mureungdowon set comes with gondre rice, gondre namul (seasoned thistle greens), spicy pork, grilled mackerel and soybean stew, plus a variety of sides like napa cabbage kimchi, kelp, perilla-seed lotus root salad and doraji (bellflower root). All of them are refillable, so eat as much of the tasty sides as you like~ The lotus root had a nutty perilla flavor and was so good, and the doraji wasn't bitter at all, cooked sweet and savory so it went down easily~~ ![Basic side dishes including perilla lotus root salad and doraji](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-21-9evug-900.webp) ### Spicy pork as wraps with extra greens At first they give you only lettuce, but we also brought other kinds of wrap greens from the self-bar. How could you not wrap spicy pork,,? Wraps are total rice thieves! ![Spicy pork with wrap greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-22-1nn9o-900.webp) ![Spicy pork wrap with gondre rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-23-1dobr-900.webp) ### Not-too-salty soybean stew and mild grilled mackerel The soybean stew at Yeongwolae Gondre isn't salty either, it's mild and nutty, perfect for mixing with rice~ The tofu is good too! It tasted like something parents would love haha ![Soybean stew with tofu and grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik-24-1ppa3-900.webp) My favorite, grilled mackerel~~ It came out very well cooked, and the flesh was mild and not salty, so it was delicious! Mackerel is an oily fish rich in omega-3 with plenty of protein, so I could eat it without worrying about my diet~~ ## Dessert: sikhye and plum tea We finished the meal cleanly with sikhye and plum tea~! The sikhye was mild and not sweet, nothing overpowering, and the plum tea was sweet and tangy, just my taste. I had a healthy, filling, delicious meal:) If you're looking for a Korean set-meal restaurant with rooms or a place for a family gathering in Ansan, how about Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch? ## Where it is - Yeongwolae Gondre Ansan Branch (영월애곤드레 안산점) - 33 Danggok-ro, Danwon-gu, Ansan, Gyeonggi, South Korea (Gojan Praum City, 2nd floor) - 경기도 안산시 단원구 당곡로 33 고잔프라움씨티 2층 - 37.3201295, 126.8330633 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%81%EC%9B%94%EC%95%A0%EA%B3%A4%EB%93%9C%EB%A0%88%20%EC%95%88%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@37.3201295,126.8330633,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@small-appetite/ansan-gondre-friday-dinner-hansik/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
