Two people visiting just before lunch on a weekday ordered miso ramen at 10,000 won, hiyashi chuka (cold ramen) heaped with red snow crab meat at 13,000 won, and chashu-don at 5,500 won, for 28,500 won in total. With rich broth, generous toppings and largely Korean-grown ingredients, Ichiba Ramen works just as well for a morning hangover cure as for a late-night bowl in Sokcho. ## Good to know - **Address**: 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do (Ichiba Ramen) - **Hours**: Daily 09:00–22:00 (last order 21:30) - **Parking**: Roadside in front of the restaurant, beside the building and other spots nearby - **Miso ramen**: 10,000 won - **Hiyashi chuka (cold ramen)**: 13,000 won - **Chashu-don**: 5,500 won - **Total paid for two**: 28,500 won - **Amenities**: Baby chair, restroom inside, aprons, phone chargers and disposable hair ties provided - **Ordering**: Order at the kiosk; pick up food at the kitchen and return your own tray - **Waiting**: Sign up on the Tabling app when there is a queue *as written by the visitor on Aug 5, 2026* Let me introduce Ichiba Ramen, a ramen restaurant I loved in Sokcho!

There were rows of chairs set up out front for waiting. Luckily I visited right before weekday lunch so I avoided the wait, hehe. But right after I sat down, a crowd of customers poured in... ## Inside Ichiba Ramen: seating and free amenities ![Interior table view of Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-03-154dt-900.webp) ![Open kitchen at Ichiba Ramen showing the cooking process](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-04-18ia9-900.webp) The interior of Ichiba Ramen was really clean and pleasant! There are lots of tables, and since it's an open kitchen, you can watch the whole cooking process, which was reassuring. ![Sign for the table waiting list at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-05-12e1f-900.webp) If there's a wait, you can register for the table waiting list through Tabling. ![Baby chair provided at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-06-bav61-900.webp) ![Aprons, chargers, and other customer amenities](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-07-17bhz-900.webp) Plenty of baby chairs were ready, and there were so many thoughtful touches for customers — aprons, chargers, and more. ![Restroom sign inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-08-vt1jj-900.webp) There's a restroom inside too, which was awesome!! ![Kiosk for ordering at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-09-1dkxi-900.webp) ![Ramen menu shown on the kiosk screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-10-1qlme-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Ichiba Ramen and what it cost Ordering at Ichiba Ramen in Sokcho is done through a kiosk. ![Order details for miso ramen and cold ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-11-mqgz1-900.webp) - Miso ramen ₩10,000 - Hiyashi chuka (cold ramen) ₩13,000 - Chashu-don ₩5,500 - Total ₩28,500 This is what the two of us ordered. Sokcho is a tourist area so prices tend to run high, but Ichiba Ramen was really reasonably priced too, haha. ![Table setting at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-12-86mg7-900.webp) ![Disposable hair ties provided at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-13-ab4at-900.webp) Oddly, there were disposable hair ties set out at the table. Such a thoughtful detail! ## How you pick up your food, and where the ingredients come from ![Full tray of food served at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-14-zje3c-1200.webp) ![Tray of ramen carried by hand](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-15-skx0z-900.webp) When your order is ready, the kitchen lets you know and you go pick it up yourself. After you finish eating, you return the tray as-is! ![Origin labeling for domestic ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-16-124dh-900.webp) Rice, vegetables, beef bone broth, chicken — most of the ingredients are sourced domestically, which earns extra points from me. ### Hiyashi chuka cold ramen, 13,000 won, heaped with red snow crab meat ![Hiyashi chuka cold ramen topped with red snow crab meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-17-12dkp-900.webp) ![Close-up of red snow crab topping on the cold ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-18-1r9g4-900.webp) ![Cold ramen noodles mixed with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-19-i7qed-900.webp) The cold ramen came piled with red snow crab meat! The flavor had a base that reminded me slightly of cold buckwheat noodles, but with a unique twist too?! Hard to describe, but it was genuinely delicious!! I ordered it because it was hot out, and I highly recommend it as a summer menu item. I sprinkled on plenty of pepper and shichimi before eating. ### Miso ramen, 10,000 won: rich broth with minced garlic ![Bowl of rich-broth miso ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-20-4oi4h-900.webp) ![Minced garlic on a spoon next to the miso ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-21-gkvti-900.webp) The miso ramen's rich broth was outstanding. There was minced garlic on the spoon too — mixing it in added such depth of flavor. The chashu was also thick and melted in my mouth. If you order it spicy, it seems like it'd make a perfect hangover-cure breakfast too. ![Well-seasoned soft-boiled egg topping](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-22-1d9pp-900.webp) The egg was soft-boiled and perfectly seasoned — chewy, soft, and delicious!! ### Chashu-don, 5,500 won: the mini rice bowl side ![Mini-sized chashu-don](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-23-1vl0g-900.webp) The chashu-don isn't a main dish — it's more of a side, in mini size, a good portion to share alongside the ramen. The two of us ate it together and I thought I was going to burst... ![Inside of the chashu-don piled with chashu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso-24-jgl50-900.webp) It was loaded with soft, savory chashu, and we enjoyed this one a lot too. ## Is Ichiba Ramen in Sokcho worth it? The broth was rich, the toppings were generous, and every ingredient felt fresh — a really satisfying meal. The fact that most ingredients are domestically sourced matters a lot these days too... (and the owner was super friendly!!) I recommend Ichiba Ramen, a great ramen restaurant in Sokcho 👍 ## Where it is - Ichiba Ramen (이찌바라멘) - 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로 348 이찌바라멘 - 38.219477, 128.5916841 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B0%8C%EB%B0%94%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98/@38.219477,128.5916841,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@before-first-bite-3/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-hiyashi-chuka-miso/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
