The restaurant's interior is modern and clean, providing a comfortable dining atmosphere.
The signature dish, pork soup (dwaeji-gukbap), features a rich and flavorful broth, achieved by simmering pork bones for over 24 hours. The soup is complemented by tender slices of pork, and diners can adjust the seasoning to their preference using the provided condiments. For those seeking variety, the menu also includes options like mixed pork soup, which combines different cuts of meat and offal, offering a diverse taste experience.
Anmok is situated at 3, Gwangnam-ro 22beon-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, approximately 320 meters from Namcheon Station Exit 1. The restaurant operates daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with a break from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, and the last order is taken at 8:30 PM. Given its popularity, especially on weekends, patrons may experience waiting times. However, the efficient service ensures a worthwhile dining experience.
Reviews highlight the broth's depth and the quality of the meat, noting the absence of any unpleasant odors. The side dishes, particularly the radish kimchi, receive praise for their taste. Anmok's innovative approach to pork soup has garnered acclaim, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and visitors seeking a modern twist on a beloved Korean staple.
