The signature jjaglak-nakji (spicy braised octopus, 14,000 won, for 2 or more) comes with glass noodles included as standard and tastes like mild, sesame-oil-scented home cooking despite its fiery red color, while the nakji haejangguk (octopus hangover soup, 13,000 won) has a clean broth from radish and bean sprouts but leans salty. Deungdae Gotgan opens at 8am with no break time, which makes it an easy breakfast stop in Sokcho. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2nd floor, 109 Yeongnanghaean-gil, Sokcho, Gangwon - **Hours**: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun 08:00–17:00 (no break time) - **Closed**: Every Wednesday - **Jjaglak-nakji (spicy braised octopus)**: 14,000 won (minimum order for 2) - **Pork cutlet**: 14,000 won - **Jeyuk bokkeum (stir-fried spicy pork)**: 13,000 won - **Nakji haejangguk (octopus hangover soup)**: 13,000 won - **Parking**: Beachfront parking in front of the restaurant - **Good to know**: Every dish except jjaglak-nakji can be ordered as a single portion; self-serve side dish corner *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ## What kind of restaurant is Deungdae Gotgan in Sokcho?

The floor-to-ceiling windows make it feel so open, and looking out at the wide-open sea is healing in itself. ![Ocean-view seating by the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 2nd floor of Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-04-1fs76-900.webp) ![Window-side seating and sea view inside Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-05-a68th-900.webp) The place isn't huge, but it's clean and pleasant. ## Deungdae Gotgan menu and prices - Jjaglak-ji (spicy braised octopus) ₩14,000 - Pork cutlet ₩14,000 - Jeyuk bokkeum (stir-fried spicy pork) ₩13,000 - Nakji haejangguk (octopus hangover soup) ₩13,000 ![Deungdae Gotgan menu board and price list](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-06-1en5n-1200.webp) The menu is short and simple, just 4 items, which I actually liked — and Deungdae Gotgan's signature dish is the jjaglak-ji! ![Sign for Deungdae Gotgan's signature jjaglak-ji dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-07-1y3y9-900.webp) Everything except jjaglak-ji can be ordered as a single portion, so it seems great for solo diners too. ### What side dishes come with the meal? ![A full spread of basic side dishes at Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-08-yw0dz-900.webp) (Stir-fried Vienna sausages / seaweed / bean sprouts / stir-fried zucchini / pickled radish / kimchi) ![Bean sprout soup and self-serve side dishes at Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-09-1ajk3-900.webp) (Bean sprout soup) You can grab extra side dishes from the self-serve corner. ## Jjaglak-nakji for 2 or more: glass noodles included as standard ![A pot of Deungdae Gotgan's jjaglak-ji with a bit of broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-10-u3bti-811.webp) I wondered what jjaglak-ji even was — turns out it's like octopus stir-fried in a bit of broth?!!! (In the style of nakgopsae, the octopus-intestine-shrimp combo dish) ![Glass noodles included as standard in the jjaglak-ji](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-11-b5q7o-900.webp) ![Glass noodles and octopus lifted out of the jjaglak-ji](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-12-uq5ju-900.webp) I didn't order extra noodles, but glass noodles came included as standard. I actually prefer glass noodles to udon noodles, so I was happy about that. ![Close-up of the red-sauced jjaglak-ji](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-13-kt499-839.webp) The jjaglak-ji's color looked intense, so I thought it'd be spicy?! But it wasn't spicy at all — it was a home-style sauce rich with sesame oil, so it was easy to eat without any worry. ![Rice mixed with jjaglak-ji sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-14-1i7l6-m-900.webp) ![Jjaglak-ji bibimbap wrapped in seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-15-nm5mr-900.webp) ![A chewy piece of octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-16-a2jad-900.webp) The octopus was nice and chewy, and mixing the sauce into the rice and wrapping it in seaweed made the rice disappear in no time. ## What does the nakji haejangguk taste like? ![Deungdae Gotgan's octopus hangover soup with radish and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji-17-9ck41-900.webp) The nakji haejangguk has radish and bean sprouts in it, so the broth is really refreshing. Highly recommend it for curing a hangover, bb. The crown daisy (ssukgat) added a lovely fragrance, but just a heads-up that the seasoning is on the salty side! ## Where it is - Deungdae Gotgan (등대곳간) - 109 Yeongnanghaean-gil, 2nd floor, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 영랑해안길 109 2층 등대곳간 - 38.2149017, 128.5973147 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%93%B1%EB%8C%80%EA%B3%B3%EA%B0%84/@38.2149017,128.5973147,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungjang-late-spoon/sokcho-deungdae-gotgan-glass-noodle-jjaggeul-nakji/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
