## In short

Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You is a gukbap (Korean soup with rice) restaurant right behind Gangneung Station in Gangneung, Gangwon, open from 7am with a café-style interior of full-height windows. Eating alone on the last stop of a 2-night, 3-day Gangneung trip, the writer ordered spicy hangover gukbap, Korean beef bone gomtang, a tasting portion of jokbal (braised pig's trotters) and an americano, finding the soup rich and the jokbal tender. Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You turned out to be a better-than-expected final meal before a 5-hour drive home.

I'm a random blogger who dreams of becoming a travel influencer, and I just got back from a Gangneung trip at the end of August. It was a 2-night, 3-day trip — long if you call it long, short if you call it short. And you can't leave a trip without eating gukbap, right? On the way back I wanted to buy some bread as a gift, and the bakery I was heading to happened to be near Gangneung Station. So I looked up solo-dining gukbap spots near Gangneung Station, and there it was — a restaurant called Pick Up To You right nearby!

I'll introduce the bakery next time — stay tuned! For now, let's go eat some gukbap.

## Where is Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You, and how early does it open?

So this is the gukbap restaurant I stopped by as the last course of my Gangneung trip — Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You. Turns out the actual Gangneung Station is right behind it! Imagine stepping off the train at Gangneung Station and immediately having a bowl of gukbap — how good would that be?

I'll go through the menu properly in a bit! Since it opens at 7am, it's great for grabbing a hearty meal early in the morning. True to a gukbap restaurant, service is fast.

### A gukbap restaurant with a café-like interior of full-height windows

True to its name, the inside of Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You really does feel like a café. The vibe is very much Gangneung.

The view through the big windows is quite lovely too. This is the taste of Gangneung!

There was even a spot to write postcards, so I wrote one, haha.

## How to order by QR code, and what's on the menu

At Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You, instead of calling the owner over, you order by scanning a QR code at the table. The menu had a good variety: beef bone sundubu gukbap, Chodang sundubu spicy hangover soup, beef bone gomtang, handmade pork cutlet, ox head gomtang, and more.

Let's take a seat and place our order.

I ordered spicy hangover gukbap, Korean beef bone gomtang, a tasting portion of jokbal, and an americano! The americano was to-go!

True to the name gukbap cafe, there was also a wide range of coffee and drinks.

## How do the Korean beef bone gomtang and tasting jokbal taste?

The basic side dishes at Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You — kimchi, kkakdugi, and tofu — were set out first. They were exactly right.

![Two bowls of gukbap set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you-16-1noec-966.webp)

![A plate of tasting-size jokbal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you-18-1d7wh-966.webp)

Then the gukbap and tasting jokbal arrived. The aroma was incredible — it really brings your appetite back to life! Looks pretty neat, right?

Honestly, it was better than expected. Usually with gukbap restaurants, you have to walk into a shabby-looking sign to find the good ones, but here the interior is pretty AND the gukbap is delicious!

With the ox head gukbap, you can add salt, pepper, and a spicy seasoning paste,

![Salt, pepper, and spicy seasoning paste condiments](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you-21-17jsi-966.webp)

and I accidentally dumped in way too much pepper, so it turned out spicy. Be careful sprinkling the pepper! Personally I prefer not adding the seasoning paste, so I skipped that.

![Close-up of tender jokbal meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you-22-156ae-966.webp)

The jokbal was so tender and tasty! I found myself thinking I should have ordered the full-size jokbal instead of just the tasting portion.

They were generous with the ingredients, which kept me full and satisfied for the roughly 5-hour drive home. Gukbap really is love. I mixed the rice into the soup and finished every last bit.

## Is Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You worth it for solo diners?

![Table at Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you/gangneung-station-solo-beef-gomtang-pickup-to-you-24-15ouu-966.webp)

This time I shared my visit to Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You, a solo-dining gukbap spot near Gangneung Station that I stopped at as the last course of my Gangneung trip. I honestly went in without high expectations, but it exceeded them. Rich, tasty gukbap, tender jokbal, and — though it's missing from the photos — a refreshing americano rounded off the trip perfectly.

I had never come to the Gangneung Station side of town before, but the downtown area turned out to be bigger than I thought, with plenty to see and plenty to eat. If you ever find yourself near Gangneung Station, or you're hungry early in the morning, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a visit.

Honestly I was craving the pale, milky-white gukbap, but I suddenly switched to gomtang when ordering. So I'll have to go back another time for the pale sundae gukbap (blood sausage soup). Next time I visit Gangneung, I'll be back for that pale sundae pork gukbap. And if any of you know other great gukbap spots, please let me know — I'd really appreciate it.
