Anju House is where...Yellow House used to be! I KNEW it looked familiar!
Like its Ktown predecessor, Anju House retains its homey-like feel, very quaint, very cute, very cozy. The patio was definitely revamped, and it is much more welcoming and modern looking. I love the string lights in the back - just a perfect place to catch up with friends and have a warm meal.
We were starving when we came here, hadn't eaten all day. We got seated immediately. We ordered:
SEAFOOD RISOTTO (5/5): Insanely delicious. Very heavy and creamy. You'll probably be stuffed within a few bites...or maybe I was just eating too quickly lol, but I definitely needed to split it into two meals. Even as leftovers, this tasted AWESOME.
KIMCHI BACON PASTA (4/5): If you like kimchi or spicy stuff, this is def for you! I felt like it was a bit too spicy for my liking, especially since I have reflux lmao. The pasta was cooked well, and it was spicier than expected, the type that builds. So this also became a second meal!
CRACKED CORN (5/5): Absolutely incredible, a must order for an appetizer! I had never heard of this dish before, but it was basically fried(?) corn in what tasted like light tempura/egg coating with Mexican spice and condensed milk drizzled on top. I know, sounds chaotic. But it was mind-blowing. The light crunch of the fried exterior mixed with the spicy sweet toppings...*chef's kiss* You won't regret getting this!
SPICY GOPCHANG (4/5): Gopchang is always good. This was a dish of beef small intestines. It was wonderfully cooked, a bit crispy on the outside, gushy on the inside, bursting with flavor. It's a bit expensive for how much you get, but I suppose gopchang is always on the pricier end. Minus one star for the price but the taste was awesome.
Portions for the pasta are HUGE. Like truly so worth the price and amazing value. Service is fast as well. Since the restaurant is all outdoors, it is dog friendly!!
Valet parking at the front, but you can probably find street parking around the area like we did!
