After Seoraksan, I had the small gamjatang for 30,000 won, with tender meat, deep broth, and chewy sujebi. A truly satisfying final-day lunch in Sokcho. ## Good to know - **Gamjatang**: Large ₩45,000 / Medium ₩37,000 / Small ₩30,000 - **Aged kimchi braised bones**: Large ₩50,000 / Medium ₩43,000 - **Meal menu**: Pork bone hangover soup, budae-jjigae, and tofu hot pot: ₩10,000 each - **Facilities**: Parking, high chairs, and private rooms available - **Break time**: From 3:00 PM *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* ## Gwandongjip near Cheongcho Lake Gwandongjip (관동집), a great restaurant in Joyang-dong, Sokcho, where I had a delicious meal. ![Introduction to Gwandongjip in Joyang-dong, Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-01-jwyad-900.webp) ![Introduction to Gwandongjip in Joyang-dong, Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-02-31zc0-900.webp) Apparently, Gwandongjip is a local favorite near Cheongcho Lake in Sokcho that has been around for a long time! They specialize in Korean dishes such as soups and hot pots, and gamjatang is their signature menu item. ![Gwandongjip's signature gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-03-162qy-900.webp) It began with Jeopalgye Gamjatang, which opened in Hwacheon, Gangwon-do in 2005. I heard it is a place where the owner has carried on the flavor tradition from the owner's parents' restaurant, interpreting it in their own way, with the parents' life story woven into it all. The owner looked young, so I felt there had to be a reason they opened a gamjatang place! I was even more excited for the food... The Gwandongjip gamjatang was genuinely so delicious that they can be proud of every dish they serve. ![Introduction to Gwandongjip gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-04-742mv-900.webp) ![Introduction to Gwandongjip gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-05-gprwv-900.webp) ## A spacious restaurant that still served late lunch We came for a late lunch after visiting Seoraksan, so the restaurant was nice and quiet. Break time starts at 3 PM, so we hurried over, but thankfully we could still eat! The interior is spacious and there are separate private rooms, making it a good fit for family meals or group gatherings. There is parking and high chairs, too! ### Gwandongjip menu and prices ![Gwandongjip menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-06-eij12-900.webp) - Specials: Gamjatang — large ₩45,000 / medium ₩37,000 / small ₩30,000; aged kimchi braised bones — large ₩50,000 / medium ₩43,000; spicy chicken stew — large ₩50,000; extra bones ₩18,000 - Meal dishes: Pork bone hangover soup ₩10,000, budae-jjigae (army stew) ₩10,000, tofu hot pot ₩10,000 - Extras: Ramen noodles ₩1,000, udon noodles ₩2,000, glass noodles ₩2,000, sujebi (hand-torn dough flakes) ₩3,000, ugeoji (dried cabbage greens) ₩3,000, rice ₩1,000, fried rice ₩2,000 - Alcohol and drinks: Soju ₩4,000, beer ₩4,000, soft drinks ₩2,000 ![Gwandongjip menu and price information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-07-1vk31-900.webp) From the reviews, it seems their aged kimchi braised bones are popular too, and I liked that they even had instructions on the best way to eat them! With budae-jjigae and tofu hot pot on the meal menu, it is also a good spot for lunch, and they offered delivery as well. ![Gwandongjip table set with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-08-1jgz1-900.webp) The side dishes were neat and delicious. They had that home-cooked feel, and the owner seems to have a great touch in the kitchen. The seasoned cucumber salad tasted as though it had just been mixed—so good! My husband especially enjoyed the macaroni, haha. ![Table set for an order of small gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-09-kj40h-900.webp) ## Trying the small gamjatang We ordered the small gamjatang. It came fully cooked, and they told us we could eat it once the vegetables had softened a little more and the potatoes and sujebi had cooked through. We did not add any extra noodles, but there was already a good amount in it, so one bowl of rice was enough to leave us full. We were too full for fried rice, though... ![Gwandongjip's small gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-10-mizo2-1200.webp) ![Order of small gamjatang at Gwandongjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-11-m8ba7-900.webp) The gamjatang came to a boil quickly. At Gwandongjip, you could taste the care that had gone into simmering the meat and broth. There was plenty of ugeoji and bean sprouts, and the aroma of perilla leaves made the broth even deeper! ![Gamjatang with ugeoji and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-12-fphz7-900.webp) ![Gamjatang enhanced by the aroma of perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-13-ck3vy-900.webp) The meat had been simmered so well that it did not fall apart, yet there was plenty still attached to the bones and it was incredibly tender. It was delicious dipped in mustard sauce, and also just with rice, ugeoji, and meat together! ![Tender meat with mustard sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-14-1djmi-900.webp) You can add perilla seed sauce too, but it seemed perfectly balanced without it, so we did not add any separately! ![Information about adding perilla seed sauce to gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-15-vw96t-900.webp) ![Perilla seed sauce and sujebi with gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-16-18wz5-900.webp) The sujebi was wonderfully chewy too! ![Gamjatang with chewy sujebi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-17-exkyv-900.webp) Maybe because I was having gamjatang in Gangwon-do, even the potatoes in it were really delicious! I do not normally like potatoes that much, but the ones in gamjatang are somehow so good 🥔 ![Potatoes in gamjatang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip-18-xie7y-900.webp) I was so satisfied with our final-day lunch in Sokcho! Gwandongjip in Joyang-dong is a local Sokcho favorite for gamjatang. It made me realize all over again just how many truly delicious places there are in Sokcho... ## Where it is - Gwandongjip (관동집) (관동집) - 7-8 Seonsa-ro 2-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 선사로2길 7-8 관동집 - 38.1879614, 128.5934571 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B4%80%EB%8F%99%EC%A7%91/@38.1879614,128.5934571,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@blue-saucer/sokcho-gamjatang-sujebi-gwandongjip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
