What did we eat with family near Gangneung Station?
As our family began our Gangneung trip, we went to Gukbap Cafe Pick Up To You (국밥카페 픽업투유) for our first meal. The adults wanted a warm, rich broth, while another family member wanted something fried, so we chose this place because we could order both gukbap (rice soup) and donkatsu (breaded pork cutlet). It was near KTX Gangneung Station.
What was the interior like for a family meal or dining alone?
The interior was clean and pleasant, and the staff guided us kindly. The layout and seating were comfortable for a family meal. I also felt it would be easy to stop by alone for a meal.
Aprons were available, and the spoons and chopsticks were neatly arranged in a utensil holder.
How did the gukbap and pork cutlet taste together?
We ordered gukbap and pork cutlet to share with the family. The pork cutlet I tried first was crisp on the outside, with thick meat inside. Despite its thickness, it was tender rather than dry, and it did not feel greasy to me, so it paired well with the gukbap.
What was the gukbap broth like, and which options were available?
The warm gukbap broth had a rich stock flavor. It tasted clean, without any off odor, and I kept reaching for another spoonful. We could choose the broth's spice level and toppings to suit our preferences.
I mixed rice into the broth and topped it with kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) and kimchi. The combination of the broth's rich beef-bone flavor and kimchi was good. The adults had a satisfying gukbap meal, while we shared the pork cutlet, so everyone could have what they wanted at one table.
Are there things to look at and other menu items besides the meal?
There were also small Gangneung-themed items to look at around the restaurant. It was nice to eat while feeling that our trip was getting started.
Besides gukbap and pork cutlet, the menu included spring greens bibimbap, makgeolli (Korean rice wine), and distilled spirits. We had gukbap and pork cutlet this time, and it was convenient for accommodating our family's different tastes near the station.
