Arriving just after 5pm on a summer evening with a friend, the order of karai ramen (9,500 won), tonkotsu ramen (9,000 won), a small chashu-don (5,500 won) and a nostalgic bottled cola came to 26,500 won for two. The karai ramen turns sharp and deep once the minced garlic is stirred in, and the sweet-salty sauce on the chashu-don makes it a good partner for either bowl. ## Good to know - **Address**: 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do (Ichiba Ramen) - **Hours**: 09:00–22:00 (last order 21:30) - **Parking**: A few spaces beside the building (to the left as you face it), plus roadside parking in front of the restaurant - **Tonkotsu ramen**: 9,000 won - **Special tonkotsu ramen**: 15,000 won - **Karai ramen (spicy)**: 9,500 won - **Miso ramen**: 10,000 won - **Mania tonkotsu**: 9,000 won - **Hiyashi chuka (cold noodles)**: 13,000 won - **Red snow crab and pollack roe cream ramen**: 14,000 won - **Butadon / chashu-don**: 4,500 won / 5,500 won - **Add-ons**: Chashu from 2,000 won, egg 1,000 won, extra noodles 2,000 won - **Drinks**: Draft beer from 3,000 won, highball 6,000 won, soft drinks 2,000 won, old-school bottled cola 2,500 won - **Total for this visit**: Tonkotsu ramen, karai ramen, chashu-don and bottled cola: 26,500 won - **Price reference**: ₩9,000 ≈ $6.7 · ₩9,500 ≈ $7 · ₩5,500 ≈ $4.1 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Aug 1, 2026* ## A summer evening ramen table at Ichiba Ramen on Jungang-ro, Sokcho Ichiba Ramen sits right along the road at 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do. We arrived in Sokcho past 5pm and stopped in for dinner, ordering karai ramen and tonkotsu ramen along with a chashu-don. ![Ramen and chashu-don spread at Ichiba Ramen in Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-01-1myql-1200.webp) This hot summer... it's tough wherever you go, but I wanted to see the sea, so my friend and I took a trip to Sokcho! We got in past 5pm and were trying to decide where to eat dinner, so we went to Ichiba Ramen, a well-known ramen spot in Sokcho! The tonkotsu ramen broth was super clean, which I loved, and the spicy karai ramen suited my taste perfectly haha. We also got a small chashu-don on the side, and the sauce on it was so good, really satisfying! ## What does Ichiba Ramen look like, and where do you park? For parking at Ichiba Ramen, there's space for a few cars on the left side when you face the restaurant. It's right along Jungang-ro, so it's easy to find too. ![Exterior of Ichiba Ramen on Jungang-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-02-sfkte-900.webp) Ichiba Ramen is right along the street, so it's an easy place to find. The exterior facing the road is also very clean-looking! ![Parking space beside the Ichiba Ramen building](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-03-13j4y-900.webp) There's parking for a few cars on the left side when you face the restaurant, so that's what we used. They also allow roadside parking in front, but if there's no spot, you'd probably need to look for parking lots near the beach! ## Inside Ichiba Ramen: seating and atmosphere The interior of Ichiba Ramen has a bright, tidy design. There were cute drawings and knick-knacks scattered here and there, which was fun to look at. ![Bright, tidy seating area inside Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-04-43c8q-900.webp) I liked the clean, tidy interior haha. A lot of ramen restaurants have dim lighting, which can feel a bit stuffy, so this bright interior was much more my style lol. ![Drawings and knick-knacks decorating the interior of Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-05-ck1u2-900.webp) There were cute drawings and knick-knacks scattered around, which was fun to look at. There was even a ghost-shaped decoration — I should have taken a photo of it... ## Ichiba Ramen menu and prices Ichiba Ramen's menu runs around ₩9,000 for tonkotsu ramen, ₩9,500 for karai ramen, and ₩5,500 for chashu-don. Here's what was listed on the menu board. ![Ichiba Ramen's ramen menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-06-xp8xy-900.webp) ![Ichiba Ramen's rice bowl and drink menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-07-znqk8-900.webp) - Tonkotsu ramen ₩9,000 - Special tonkotsu ramen ₩15,000 - Karai ramen ₩9,500 - Miso ramen ₩10,000 - Mania tonkotsu ₩9,000 - Hiyashi chuka ₩13,000 - Red snow crab roe cream ramen ₩14,000 - Butadon ₩4,500 - Chashu-don ₩5,500 - Extra chashu from ₩2,000 - Extra egg ₩1,000 - Extra noodles ₩2,000 - Draft beer from ₩3,000 - Highball ₩6,000 - Soft drinks ₩2,000 - Nostalgic bottled cola ₩2,500 ## Karai ramen, 9,500 won: a sharp broth you stir minced garlic into We ordered tonkotsu ramen (₩9,000), karai ramen (₩9,500), chashu-don (₩5,500), and a nostalgic bottled cola (₩2,500) for a total of ₩26,500. My karai ramen came with minced garlic on a spoon, meant to be stirred into the broth. ![A bowl of spicy karai ramen at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-08-1ddgv-900.webp) What I ordered was the spicy version, karai ramen~! Mild broth is nice too, but I only feel satisfied if there's some heat, so I went with this haha. Even before eating, the visuals were beautiful and I started drooling lol. They gave me a bit of minced garlic on a spoon, and stirring it into the broth was seriously delicious! It had that spicy kick with a subtle garlic aroma and a deep flavor to the broth, exactly what I wanted. It was the kind of taste that made me want to mix in some rice..! There was quite a lot of noodles too, so it was filling, and they went really well with the broth — satisfying! The soft-boiled egg was nicely salty too, so next time I'd like to add an extra egg. ![Chashu slices on top of the karai ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-09-99m9v-900.webp) The chashu was cooked until tender, with a nice texture. If you like meat, definitely add extra! ## Small chashu-don, 5,500 won: just right to share between two The chashu-don at ₩5,500 was a small size, just the right amount to have alongside the main ramen. The combination of onion, meat, and green onion was good, and the sauce was sweet and salty. ![The small side order of chashu-don](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-10-1oaym-900.webp) We each ordered a main, but thought we might want a little more, so we added this chashu-don on the side! ![Ichiba Ramen's chashu-don topped with onion and green onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-11-1i0zk-900.webp) Since it was a small size it was only ₩5,500, and it was just the right amount to eat alongside the mains. The onion, meat, and green onion combination was great, and the sweet-salty sauce was so good — my friend and I happily dug in lol. ![Ichiba Ramen's tonkotsu ramen with milky broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don-12-9e4gn-900.webp) Mine had a red broth, but my friend's tonkotsu had a milky-white broth that was mild and really delicious~~ ## Verdict: a Sokcho ramen restaurant that also works for breakfast Ichiba Ramen is open from 09:00 to 22:00, so it could also work for a warm-broth breakfast. A good start to our Sokcho trip~! It seems like a great place to go when you want a warm, savory broth. Since the broth is so good, it might even be worth going for breakfast~! The menu is fairly varied too, so it's perfect for picking a bit of this and that, and I left satisfied with a clean meal. +Oh, and I loved that they had a genuinely nostalgic bottled cola haha. They filled the cup with plenty of ice too, so I could enjoy it cold! ## Where it is - Ichiba Ramen (이찌바라멘) - 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로 348 이찌바라멘 - 38.219477, 128.5916841 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B0%8C%EB%B0%94%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98/@38.219477,128.5916841,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-receipt/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-summer-evening-chashu-don/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
