Set menus included a 2-person set, stir-fry set, family set, Min set, Nak set, Ji set, and a special set. As an Ansan octopus specialty restaurant should, it seemed to have nearly every octopus dish imaginable. ![Menu board showing nakji-agu cheolpan prices and add-on noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-05-1cu2l-1200.webp) Nakji-agu cheolpan 4.8 / 5.8 / 7.0 Add-on noodles: beef intestine / shrimp / glass noodles / wheat noodles ## Inside the Seongpo-dong restaurant Octopus stir-fry can splatter on your clothes, so a disposable apron is a must. ![Tables inside Min Nakji Ansan Seongpo Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-06-354sx-900.webp) ![Seating and group tables inside Min Nakji](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-07-jhqvx-900.webp) The interior of Min Nakji, the octopus stir-fry restaurant in Seongpo-dong, Ansan, wasn't very big. The gaps between tables were a bit tight. There were tables of various sizes, from 2-seaters to 4-seaters to group tables, so it seemed suitable for work dinners or gatherings too. The day I went, there seemed to be a gathering happening — it was pretty lively. Each chair had a basket for storing bags or coats. ![Burner and tableware set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-08-dkam0-900.webp) Each table had its own burner, which was nice — you could eat the octopus dish warm from start to finish. ![Small television inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-09-viits-900.webp) There was even a small TV in the restaurant, so you could eat while watching. As it happened, there was a Korean national football match on that day. ## Side dishes and seaweed soup with the order ![Kkakdugi, cabbage salad, and yeolmu kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-10-o7avd-900.webp) ![Generous seaweed soup served with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-11-1715u-900.webp) The side dishes were kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), cabbage salad, and yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi). The yeolmu kimchi was so good I think I ate half of it before the octopus even arrived. It was perfect for picking at whenever the octopus felt too spicy. Seaweed soup came alongside it too, and they gave a really generous amount. There was so much of it that I enjoyed it happily until the very end. ![Nakji-agu cheolpan (small) set for two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-12-1sr6j-900.webp) ## Nakji-agu cheolpan (small), 48,000 won for two At Min Nakji, the octopus stir-fry restaurant in Seongpo-dong, Ansan, the nakji-agu cheolpan stood out from the sauce color alone. The monkfish and octopus, which looked spicy, were piled with a generous amount of minari (water dropwort). Ooh, it really looked delicious. ![Nakji-agu cheolpan topped with cut minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-13-1enc0-900.webp) When they brought the dish, they cut the minari into bite-sized pieces for us. The octopus and monkfish were just spicy enough, and the minari was so plentiful that it was very satisfying. ![Monkfish flesh soaked in spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-14-azq8b-900.webp) ### How was the monkfish? It tasted different from the usual agu-jjim (steamed monkfish) I'm used to. The deliciously spicy monkfish really woke up my appetite. The monkfish flesh was plump and substantial in every bite, and grilling it on the hot plate brought out a deep, savory aroma! The sauce soaked well into the monkfish flesh, spicy but full of umami — not just harsh heat, but the kind of flavor that keeps you reaching for more. I'm someone who can't really handle spicy food, but it was so good I kept eating anyway. ![Plump octopus grilled on the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-15-1aaw8-900.webp) ### Octopus with white wood ear mushrooms The octopus at Min Nakji, the octopus stir-fry restaurant in Seongpo-dong, Ansan, was plump and springy — the more you chewed, the chewier it got! Grilling it on the hot plate gave it a subtle smoky char, and the spicy sauce paired beautifully with the octopus for maximum umami. ![White wood ear mushrooms in the nakji-agu cheolpan](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-16-raea4-900.webp) The nakji-agu cheolpan also included white wood ear mushrooms. They had a crunchy yet springy texture that made the whole dish more satisfying when eaten with the octopus. The spicy sauce soaked subtly into the mushrooms, giving them a clean, savory flavor. ![Chopsticks picking up a piece of octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-17-1x7tu-900.webp) Look at that plump, springy octopus :-) ![Close-up of plump, springy octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-18-fls0j-900.webp) ### The steamed egg that comes with the hot plate When you order the nakji-agu cheolpan, steamed egg (gyeranjjim) comes with it. ![Steamed egg served alongside the nakji-agu cheolpan](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-19-1qghe-900.webp) Its fluffy texture was a great combo right around when the octopus and monkfish started getting spicy. A bite of octopus, a bite of egg, a bite of monkfish — an amazing combination. ![A single bite combining octopus, monkfish, and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-20-1dlsk-900.webp) Eating the tender octopus and springy monkfish together with the crunchy vegetables gave it plenty of texture, and the spiciness really woke up my appetite. ![Octopus and crunchy vegetables on the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-21-48cm7-900.webp) ![King oyster mushrooms, bean sprouts, and rice cakes on the hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-22-1yrga-900.webp) There were also king oyster mushrooms, bean sprouts, and rice cakes, which were great to eat alongside the octopus and monkfish. ![Nakji-agu cheolpan simmering on the burner](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-23-pvtx9-900.webp) ![Coke enjoyed alongside the nakji-agu cheolpan](https://img.superchart.com/images/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan-24-aga4a-900.webp) ## Coke 500ml, 2,000 won Since it was a bit spicy, I ordered a Coke, and it turned out to be a 500ml bottle for ₩2,000. These days it's all chunky cans for ₩2,000, so getting a full 500ml here at Min Nakji, the octopus stir-fry restaurant in Seongpo-dong, Ansan, felt like a real bargain. If you want to try the collaboration of plump octopus and springy monkfish, I highly recommend visiting Min Nakji, the octopus stir-fry restaurant in Seongpo-dong, Ansan. Even if it's not the nakji-agu cheolpan, they have all kinds of octopus dishes, so if you love octopus, this place comes highly recommended. 📍 Location 30 Seongpo-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (Cyber Studio) ## Where it is - Min Nakji Ansan Seongpo Main Branch (민낙지 안산성포본점) - 30 Seongpo-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (Cyber Studio) - 경기도 안산시 상록구 성포로 30 사이버스튜디오 - 37.3233182, 126.8449951 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%AF%BC%EB%82%99%EC%A7%80%20%EC%95%88%EC%82%B0%EC%84%B1%ED%8F%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.3233182,126.8449951,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@when-hunger-calls-4/minnakji-ansan-seongpo-agu-cheolpan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
