A tableside clam kalguksu restaurant in Anyang, near Gwangmyeong Station, where large clams are cooked directly in a pot at the table. The garlic-infused broth draws its refreshing depth from the clams, building rich umami as it simmers. The clams should be pulled out promptly once cooked to avoid toughening, eaten at just the right moment alongside the noodles, their briny savoriness harmonizes perfectly. Adding chewy handmade noodles, zucchini, and scallions to the same broth creates a clean, satisfying bowl, with a subtle garlic aroma that reviewers describe as practically impossible to dislike. The traditional finish is porridge made from the remaining broth, the staff even check seasoning levels before preparing it, showing attention to detail. The seafood pajeon is remarkably thick and roughly the size of a large pizza, loaded with finely chopped squid and scallions, easily shareable among a group. The nakji chomuchim (spicy octopus salad) features seasonal water parsley for a crunchy contrast, with heat that outweighs sweetness. The kimchi is tasty though on the saltier side, which is worth noting when eating it alongside the already-seasoned broth. Solo dining is accommodated, and extra clams can be ordered to supplement the standard portion. The location is convenient for visitors to nearby IKEA Gwangmyeong, Lotte Mall, or Gwangmyeong Cave, making it a natural post-outing meal stop. Leftovers are wrapped in foil for takeaway. Reservations are accepted, and parking is available behind the building. Walk-ins work even on weekend evenings, and the restaurant is a food-focused destination rather than a scenic one.
