I tried the ₩17,000 seafood jjamppong sundubu and ₩14,000 spicy sundubu, both served with rice. Verdict: I would choose the seafood jjamppong sundubu again. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 07:30–20:00 (last order 19:00; may close early when ingredients sell out) - **Parking**: Space for 30 cars and 8 large buses - **Spicy sundubu**: ₩14,000 (rice included) - **Seafood jjamppong sundubu**: ₩17,000 (rice included) - **Take-home handmade tofu**: ₩7,000 per block - **Takeout**: All menu items available; uncooked takeout available - **Amenities**: High chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ## A sundubu stop after Museum X, before heading to Gangneung After visiting Museum X, we suddenly got hungry before heading over to Gangneung, so we stopped by a nearby great sundubu spot in Sokcho. ![Signature dishes at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu in Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-01-1jbzb-1200.webp) I usually have seafood jjamppong sundubu in a large pot, in medium or large portions, but Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu had it in an individual ttukbaegi (earthenware pot)! So of course, I tried it right away. ![Exterior of Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-02-1no9y-854.webp) It looks like a good restaurant from the outside, right?? A place lots of older people go = a good restaurant. That's basically the rule, and when we walked in and saw groups of older diners, I thought, this place has to be good. ## Opening hours and a spacious parking lot Hours are 7:30 a.m.–8 p.m., with last orders at 7 p.m. It may close early when ingredients run out, and it is in Haksapyeong Tofu Village! I already loved that they make their tofu in-house. The parking lot is big enough for 30 cars and 8 large buses, so you can come without worrying about parking. ![Parking lot at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-03-1hx1q-900.webp) There were already lots of families and groups when we came in. I took this photo away from where people were sitting, but the dining area is spacious too, so it seems like it can fit a lot of people. ![Dining seating at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-04-m4jrr-900.webp) ## Sundubu menu and takeout The menu! It was nicely simple, so it was easy to choose. Spicy sundubu is ₩14,000 and seafood jjamppong sundubu is ₩17,000, with a bowl of rice included. ![Sundubu menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-05-q6f96-900.webp) ![Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-06-13ce1-900.webp) They sell side dishes too. If I had been heading straight home, I would have wanted to take away the seasoned pollack sashimi👍 If you write a Naver photo review, you can also get acorn jelly or a drink on the house♡ ![Side dish sales and photo-review information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-07-11u5k-900.webp) They have high chairs, and you can take home a block of handmade tofu for ₩7,000! ![Handmade tofu takeout information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-08-1ce94-900.webp) Everything else on the menu is available for takeout too, so I also recommend taking some home if you want to quickly drizzle Chodang sundubu (soft tofu) with soy sauce. They even offer uncooked takeout. We saw someone getting uncooked food to take away while we were eating, and wondered whether we should take some back to our accommodation for another meal, but the sun was so hot that day, which made me nervous. Next time, I need to come on a colder day, eat there, and take some away too. ![Uncooked sundubu takeout information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-09-1p1p3-900.webp) ## Neat basic side dishes and a self-service bar The food came out quickly and beautifully arranged, and if you run short on the basic side dishes while eating, ![Neatly arranged basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-10-f7x9h-900.webp) ![Basic table setting for a sundubu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-11-o83lr-900.webp) ![Self-service bar information for basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-12-3vm13-900.webp) you can use the self-service bar. ![Self-service bar for basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-13-vxy7v-900.webp) The braised potatoes were so distinctive. Even without the familiar soy-sauce color, they were sweet and pleasantly chewy. The japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) was delicious too, and the seaweed-stem kimchi—everything was good, with nothing left out. ![Braised potatoes and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-14-1q9qo-900.webp) ![Japchae and seaweed-stem kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-15-5gnov-900.webp) ## The difference between seafood jjamppong sundubu and spicy sundubu On the left is seafood jjamppong sundubu, and on the right is spicy sundubu. They look similar, but they are really different. If I had to choose just one, I would have seafood jjamppong sundubu again next time. My boyfriend had the spicy sundubu, and he said it was more pleasantly spicy than hot, and fairly light. The seafood jjamppong sundubu was heartier and hotter thanks to its rich jjamppong flavor, and even though the broth looked oily, the soft tofu meant it did not feel greasy at all! ### Seafood in the jjamppong sundubu ![Seafood in jjamppong sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-16-1jk51-900.webp) ![Seafood jjamppong sundubu in an earthenware pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-17-1n0cs-900.webp) Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu's seafood jjamppong sundubu has everything from abalone and squid ![Seafood in seafood jjamppong sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-18-2r9l6-900.webp) to pinecone-cut squid, scallops, and shrimp—so much seafood!! I ate it with a buckwheat jeonbyeong (pancake roll), too. ![Buckwheat jeonbyeong and sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-19-11j6c-900.webp) I also had it with japchae, and piling the sundubu onto the side dishes was so delicious. I have been all about protein lately, and with so much soft tofu in it, I felt like I was really filling up on protein👍 ![Sundubu eaten with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-20-11xmp-900.webp) There was also one whole abalone in it, which was great because I got a full mouthful. ![Seafood jjamppong sundubu with a whole abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-21-zrqpl-900.webp) ![Abalone in seafood jjamppong sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-22-a1gy3-900.webp) It was delicious mixed with rice, too. I was eating mine with plenty of broth, and then, ![Sundubu broth mixed with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-23-iir0e-900.webp) I saw my boyfriend mixing his with rice in front of me too hahaha. That is how you know it is a good restaurant haha. ![After-meal coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-24-1bebx-900.webp) There was even coffee that was perfect for dessert! My stomach still felt comfortable after the seafood jjamppong sundubu, and the owner and staff were all so kind. From the side dishes to the rice and sundubu, everything at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu was delicious. ## 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-mug-stop/sokcho-jjamppong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
