On a weekend evening a family with a toddler ate on the 2nd floor, ordering kkamak-jang suyuk (soy-braised boiled pork, medium), perilla sundubu kalguksu and pollock sikhae bibim makguksu; the pork was kept warm over a candle and a baby chair was available. Window seats for two look out over the sea at sunset, making Gossi's an easy dinner stop for families at Gangmun Beach. ## Good to know - **Address**: 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung, Gangwon State - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–20:30 (break 15:00–17:00) - **Parking**: Gangmun Beach public parking lots 1 and 2; first hour free after entry (ask at the counter if you stay over 30 minutes) - **Free parking conditions**: Free if you exit before 11:00 or enter after 18:00 - **Parking fee beyond free time**: 600 won for the first 30 minutes, then 300 won per 10 minutes - **Dishes ordered**: Kkamak-jang suyuk (medium), perilla sundubu kalguksu, pollock sikhae bibim makguksu - **Hotels nearby**: Seamarq Hotel 2 minutes, Skybay Hotel Gyeongpo 4 minutes, Shilla Monogram 5 minutes away *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Main image of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu at Gangmun Beach, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-01-9x6e1-1200.webp) While looking for somewhere to eat with a kid on our Gangneung trip, I found a place with suyuk (boiled pork) and makguksu (buckwheat noodles) on the menu — and a view over Gangmun Beach. Here's my review of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu ✍️ ## Where Gossi's Donghae Makguksu is, plus parking and hours Gossi's Donghae Makguksu, a Gangneung favorite, is at 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea. You can park at Gangmun Beach public parking lots 1 and 2. It's 2 minutes from Seamarq Hotel, 4 minutes from Skybay Hotel Gyeongpo, and 5 minutes from Shilla Monogram, so anyone staying nearby could easily walk over. ![Gangmun Beach public parking lot fee information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-02-1b323-900.webp) - First hour after entry: free (ask at the counter if over 30 minutes) - Leave before 11am / enter after 6pm: free - Overtime fee: ₩600 for the first 30 minutes / ₩300 per 10 minutes after They're open daily 10:00–20:30, with a break time from 15:00 to 17:00. ![Exterior of the three-story Gossi's Donghae Makguksu building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-03-kv46v-900.webp) Here's the exterior of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu. It's a three-story building, so there's plenty of seating. ## What's on the menu: Gangneung buckwheat makguksu and buckwheat gimbap The menu at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu is fairly varied, with Gangneung-style buckwheat makguksu and buckwheat gimbap (seaweed rice roll) among the options. ![Menu board listing buckwheat makguksu and buckwheat gimbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-04-1qw0w-900.webp) The buckwheat gimbap looks like it would be great to take out and eat by the beach. ![Sign noting buckwheat gimbap is available for takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-05-1ds2m-900.webp) Gossi's Donghae Makguksu is well known locally, and plenty of celebrities have visited too. ![Autographs from visiting celebrities displayed in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-06-lzeom-900.webp) The first floor of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu handles both takeout orders and dine-in seating. ![First floor interior with takeout counter and dine-in seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-07-5cemf-900.webp) ![View of the first floor seating area at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-08-1499b-900.webp) ![Sunset over Gangmun Beach seen through the second floor window](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-09-xwh81-900.webp) ## 2nd-floor sunset ocean view and seats for families with a toddler Here's the overall look of the second floor. The sunset over the sea through the window was unrealistically beautiful. It was a busy weekend evening, so there were a lot of customers. The window seats are for two, so with our kid making three of us, we couldn't sit there, but eating while watching the sunset over the sea looks like it would be lovely. There are also baby chairs available, so families with young kids can eat without any hassle. ## What we ordered at Gossi's: suyuk, perilla sundubu kalguksu and bibim makguksu We ordered the kkamak-jang suyuk (medium), perilla sundubu kalguksu, and pollock sikhae bibim makguksu. ![Basic table setting with yeolmu kimchi and lettuce wraps](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-10-juczv-900.webp) Here's the basic table setting: yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), pickled radish, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), salted shrimp, garlic, ssamjang (dipping sauce), lettuce, and perilla leaves. They also gave us scissors and tongs to cut up the pork for our kid. ![Full spread of pork, kalguksu, and makguksu on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-11-133y9-900.webp) It made for a generously spread table. ### Kkamak-jang suyuk (medium): soy-braised pork kept warm over a candle We ordered the medium kkamak-jang suyuk (soy-braised boiled pork) mainly to feed our kid. When it arrived, they'd lit a candle underneath it, so it stayed gently warm the whole time we ate — I loved that. ![Medium kkamak-jang suyuk kept warm with a lit candle](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-12-r61sf-900.webp) ![Plate of thinly sliced, tender kkamak-jang suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-13-gyusl-900.webp) Our kid said the pork was tender and ate it up happily. If you're visiting with a child, ordering the suyuk to feed them while the adults treat it as a side dish seems like the perfect move. ![Pork wrapped in lettuce and perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-14-1xbdd-900.webp) ![Close-up of the firm, tender texture of the pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-15-sibde-900.webp) I love wrapping things in lettuce, so I wrapped mine in lettuce and perilla leaves. The meat was firm and clearly good quality. ![A piece of pork with ssamjang and salted shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-16-8y0be-900.webp) ![Table with pork and basic side dishes laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-17-1egfj-900.webp) ### Perilla sundubu kalguksu: how the soft tofu noodle soup tasted For the perilla sundubu kalguksu (soft tofu noodle soup), I was torn between perilla makguksu and kalguksu since it was getting chilly, and went warm with the kalguksu. With sundubu (soft tofu) and perilla, both things I love, it had a nutty, hearty flavor — a real standout dish. ![Nutty broth of the perilla sundubu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-18-a82pf-900.webp) It looked perfect for warming up on a cold day. Definitely try the perilla sundubu kalguksu if you visit. ![Noodles lifted out of the perilla sundubu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-19-s78rd-900.webp) ![Bibim makguksu topped with pollock sikhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-20-7ivox-900.webp) ### Pollock sikhae bibim makguksu: spicy fermented pollock over buckwheat noodles Since this place is known for makguksu, we had to order some — pollock sikhae (fermented pollock) bibim makguksu. The sikhae wasn't tough at all, it was nice and soft. The sauce wasn't too sharp either, with a tangy, slightly sweet flavor that went great with the pork. 💯 ![Mixed pollock sikhae bibim makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-21-udtox-900.webp) Extra side dishes were available self-serve, so it was easy to grab more if we ran short. ![Self-serve extra side dish station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-22-1qhed-900.webp) ![Makguksu noodles and kkamak-jang sauce sold on the first floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-23-1wc3e-900.webp) ![Display of Gangwon food products and liquors for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner/gangneung-gangmun-beach-makguksu-sunset-dinner-24-1bi14-900.webp) ## After dinner: the 1st-floor Gangwon food shop and a walk on Gangmun Beach After a satisfying meal, we checked out the Gangwon-related food items sold on the first floor — makguksu noodles, kkamak-jang sauce, various liquors, and more. Worth a browse if you're curious. The autumn night mood at Gangmun Beach is wonderful. A walk after dinner is a great idea too. ## Is Gossi's worth it with a toddler?
