I visited with my father during our Sokcho trip, and I could really taste the history and tradition of three generations. Seeing that my father enjoyed it and said it was delicious, I would say it is a restaurant that suits older diners' tastes perfectly, too. What is more, this place serves breakfast. I thought it would be just right for a breakfast stop during a trip. - Address: 118 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea - Hours: 07:30–20:00 - Parking: Free private parking Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu, a Sokcho sundubu favorite, is near Hanwha Resort Seorak.

It is quite large, so even buses bringing group guests can enter. ![Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu private parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-03-alu8a-966.webp) We arrived at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu, a Sokcho sundubu favorite. The interior was quite large and looked very clean and well maintained. ![Spacious interior of Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-04-g5egr-966.webp) It felt like quite a few group diners come here. ![Restaurant interior popular with group diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-05-110r0-966.webp) ## Our Chodang sundubu and hangover-soup order As you would expect from a local favorite, another nice point is that they sell snacks like these. Let me introduce the menu at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu, where breakfast is available in Sokcho. ![Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-06-nl1rt-966.webp) We ordered the signature Chodang sundubu (₩12,000), hwangtae haejangguk (dried pollack hangover soup, ₩12,000), and ojingeo sundae (stuffed squid sausage, ₩15,000). After doing a little research, I found that jjamppong sundubu also seems very popular. For anyone visiting for a hangover cure, I recommend the jjamppong sundubu or the dried pollack hangover soup. ![Receipt-review acorn jelly offer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-07-wec74-966.webp) If you leave a receipt review, they even give you dotorimuk (acorn jelly). This is impossible to resist. Our ordered dishes were fully set out. ![Table setting with ordered sundubu and hangover soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-08-k2lgc-966.webp) ![Sundubu meal table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-09-49id4-966.webp) ![Ordered dishes and side dishes table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-10-1joms-966.webp) ![Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu meal table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-11-t1whe-966.webp) ### Neat, mildly seasoned side dishes I was quite impressed that such a variety of side dishes came out in addition to the mains. Considering the reasonable prices of the individual dishes, I could only be grateful for this many side dishes. ![Selection of assorted side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-12-h5mbj-966.webp) ![Neat side-dish table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-13-15e1u-966.webp) Each side dish tasted very good. They were not overly seasoned, which felt like exactly what would win over older diners. ![Mildly seasoned side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-14-1dsad-966.webp) ## Chewy squid sundae with myeongtae sikhae What captured my eyes and my tongue was this ojingeo sundae. When you come to Sokcho, squid sundae is a dish you absolutely have to try. ![Sokcho squid sundae dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-15-1jwzq-966.webp) ![Chewy squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-16-t2nsn-966.webp) The squid sundae at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu had an amazing combination of a chewy texture and a generously filled center. And if you top it with some tangy myeongtae sikhae (fermented pollack)? You can really experience what Sokcho tastes like. ![Squid sundae served with fermented pollack](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-17-y7djg-966.webp) ![Sokcho-style squid sundae table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-18-2e0u9-966.webp) ## Dried pollack hangover soup with deep flavor This is the hwangtae haejangguk (₩12,000) my father ordered. I had a bite, and the distinctively deep flavor of dried pollack hangover soup came through very strongly. I had not had a single drop of alcohol, but it was so deeply flavored that I felt as if I were sobering up. ![Deeply flavored dried pollack hangover soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-19-1goxx-966.webp) ## Would the mild Chodang sundubu be good before a hike? Next is the Chodang sundubu (₩12,000) that I ordered. I chose it because I am not really someone who likes strongly seasoned food. ![Mild Chodang sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-20-1wh4g-966.webp) ![Hot Chodang sundubu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol-21-1crtw-966.webp) I will admit that it was exactly the right pick for me, someone looking for mild, easy-to-digest food. The hot sundubu broth was really delicious, too. Personally, I thought it would also be great to eat here before hiking Seoraksan. After all, gentle food that is not strongly seasoned is the truth before a hike. With a spacious dining room and delicious food existing side by side, I do not think you will regret visiting. It would also be a good pick for a meal stop on a group trip. ## Where it is - Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu (진솔할머니순두부) - 118 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 원암학사평길 118 - 38.2062411, 128.5209698 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A7%84%EC%86%94%ED%95%A0%EB%A8%B8%EB%8B%88%EC%88%9C%EB%91%90%EB%B6%80/@38.2062411,128.5209698,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-ladle-stop/sokcho-sundubu-hwangtaehaejangguk-jinsol/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
