On the last day of a trip with her mom, the writer ordered the assorted seafood jang with soy sauce crab, abalone jang, octopus jang, shrimp jang, salmon jang and egg jang alongside a steaming potato hot pot rice, with roasted seaweed wraps turning out to be the best bite of all. Even her picky-eating mom praised the shrimp jang, making it a satisfying meal to share with parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 강원특별자치도 속초시 엑스포로 171 1층 (171 Expo-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea, 1F) - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–21:00 - **Break time**: 16:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Reservations**: By phone or Naver Reservation; window seats for 2–4 available via Naver; groups up to 40 via Naver, further inquiries by phone - **Parking**: Large lot; park inside the fence as instructed - **Ordering**: Tabletop kiosk - **Amenities**: Wi-Fi provided, separate men's/women's restrooms - **Order**: Assorted seafood jang (includes potato hot pot rice) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* What's the most stressful part of traveling with your parents? Meals, definitely 😳 I could skip rice for a whole day and be totally fine, but when I travel with my mom I make a point of eating proper Korean rice meals with her at least once a day 💦 But it's not just about eating rice — it has to be real Korean food, and it has to actually taste good. That's probably the biggest worry when traveling with parents 🤔 That's how Sokcho Geu Badaro (속초 그 바다로), a hot pot rice spot in Sokcho, caught my eye. You can enjoy a full spread of soy sauce crab, salmon, octopus, abalone, shrimp, and egg jang — plus it comes with a steaming hot pot rice ❣️ I thought 'we have to go here' 🙊 and had it marked before the trip even started — we finally went on the last day! Savory soy sauce crab packed with roe and innards, chewy octopus jang, springy abalone jang, silky salmon jang, shrimp jang with a satisfying pop that was exactly my taste, and creamy egg jang to dip everything into!

Piping hot potato hot pot rice 👀♥️ ![Lid opened on the steaming potato hot pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-12-wylh3-966.webp) And right beside it, the ridiculously good-looking assorted seafood jang 🦀🦐❣️ ![Full spread of the assorted seafood jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-13-7jz3r-966.webp) Wow, the colorful side dishes plus the jang really got my eyes darting around 👀 ![Assorted seafood jang with soy sauce crab, abalone jang and shrimp jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-14-1kg4p-1200.webp) Soy sauce crab packed with roe, a huge abalone jang, plump shrimp jang, octopus jang, salmon jang, and even egg jang — so much to eat! ## Trying the jang one by one First, the octopus jang and abalone jang were neatly cut into bite-sized pieces — ready to eat! ![Octopus jang cut into bite-sized pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-15-ec4b1-966.webp) ![Plate of prepared abalone jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-16-h3p5h-966.webp) ![Soy sauce crab full of roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-17-1b5pb-m-966.webp) ![A soft piece of salmon jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-18-143lk-m-966.webp) Honestly, just writing this post is making me remember the taste and I'm literally drooling 🤤💦 Personally, I also really loved the egg jang! 🥚 ![Egg jang cut in half](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-19-6k3pw-966.webp) ![Jang dipped into the egg jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-20-5c7yc-966.webp) Dipping the jang into it like this made everything richer and nuttier — such a great match 🫶🏻 Popping a springy shrimp jang into my mouth, then a bite of hot pot rice — pure happiness 😚 ![Spoonful of shrimp jang and hot pot rice together](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-21-1802s-966.webp) ## The best combo: wrapped in seaweed The best part was wrapping the jang in roasted seaweed!!!! This was truly the standout bite ♥️♥️♥️ ![Roasted seaweed wrap with rice and jang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-22-4pjmd-966.webp) The seaweed (gim, roasted sheet seaweed) was unseasoned but roasted crisp — you can dip it in soy sauce, but eating it with the jang instead of soy sauce gave it even more umami, which I loved 🥰 Putting the jang over the crispy rice at the bottom of the hot pot rice was also amazing ❣️ ![Seaweed soup served with the crispy rice from the hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-23-1v8wp-966.webp) ![Jang placed over the crispy rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam-24-ysvzi-966.webp) I also scraped up every bit of the seaweed soup and the crispy rice that came with it, but there was just so much jang that we couldn't finish it all — such a regret 🥲 I still think about the jang we left behind… 🥲 haha ## Overall thoughts on Sokcho Geu Badaro > My overall verdict on Sokcho Geu Badaro, a Sokcho food spot: - If you're looking for a great seafood restaurant in Sokcho - If you're looking for a hot pot rice and assorted seafood jang spot - If you want a different kind of Sokcho restaurant besides raw fish or snow crab - If you're looking for a place to bring your parents - If you want clean, filling Korean food while traveling Sokcho - If you're looking for a Sokcho restaurant with easy parking I recommend Sokcho Geu Badaro ❣️ It's clean and delicious enough to bring your parents to, and if you're traveling Sokcho with them, a steaming hot pot rice with the assorted seafood jang makes a great choice! Even my picky-eating mom said 'why is this shrimp jang so good?' and left fully satisfied ♥️ If you're heading to Sokcho, how about a filling hot pot rice with savory, rich assorted seafood jang? ## Where it is - Sokcho Geu Badaro (속초그바다로) - 171 Expo-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea, 1F - 강원특별자치도 속초시 엑스포로 171 1층 속초그바다로 - 38.1986885, 128.5810232 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8D%EC%B4%88%EA%B7%B8%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4%EB%A1%9C/@38.1986885,128.5810232,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-on-plate-2/sokcho-sotbap-seafood-jang-gim-ssam/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
