Buckwheat makguksu, perilla oil buckwheat makguksu, buckwheat kalguksu and more — with so many buckwheat options, it looked great for ordering a bunch to share among several people. ## Ordering four bowls for the table ![Table spread with makguksu, kalguksu, and king dumpling soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-08-1b8qc-900.webp) We ordered a variety from buckwheat makguksu to buckwheat kalguksu to buckwheat dumplings, and ate a really hearty spread haha > ✔️Deulmemak (₩13,000) ✔️Buckwheat makguksu (large) (₩13,000) ✔️Buckwheat perilla kalguksu (₩12,000) ✔️Buckwheat king dumpling soup (₩12,000) ### Deulmemak, 13,000 won ![A bowl of perilla oil buckwheat noodles, deulmemak](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-09-c8ste-900.webp) First up was this Sokcho makguksu spot's signature dish, the perilla oil buckwheat noodles, deulmemak~! Makguksu loaded with nutty perilla oil, how could you resist🤤 ![Deulmemak topped with perilla leaves and seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-10-xdu5y-900.webp) Nutty perilla oil, sesame seeds, dried seaweed flakes, and fragrant perilla leaves come together for a nutty flavor that's never too heavy, so I kept reaching for more — fully convinced this is the holy land of deulmemak in Sokcho!! It's easy to eat without feeling weighed down, so I'd recommend it to anyone, any age. ### Large buckwheat makguksu, 13,000 won Next up was the spicy buckwheat makguksu! Kind of like ordering half-and-half fried chicken🤣 we got it alongside the deulmemak haha. We ordered the large size to share, and the portion was seriously generous~ ![Large buckwheat makguksu topped with two egg halves](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-11-11lgk-900.webp) Two whole egg halves on top too~~ With the spicy-sweet umami sauce added, it has a totally different charm from the nutty deulmemak, so I'd recommend ordering both to share. ![Noodle strands of seasoned buckwheat makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-12-3xc10-900.webp) Above all, the buckwheat noodles themselves were boiled really well, so they were delicious in any combination. And unlike wheat noodles, my stomach didn't feel heavy afterward, making it a perfect healthy dining option! ![Dongchimi broth served alongside](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-13-1no66-900.webp) ![Pouring dongchimi broth into the makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-14-13cjt-900.webp) They also serve dongchimi (radish water kimchi) broth on the side, and pouring it into the noodles to taste adds extra umami, letting you experience several flavors in one bowl! ### Buckwheat perilla kalguksu, 12,000 won ![Buckwheat perilla kalguksu served in a large bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-15-xqxsd-900.webp) Next we tried the buckwheat kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup)~ Anyway, it comes in a huge bowl with a really generous portion, great value!! ![Kalguksu broth loaded with perilla seeds](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-16-znlel-900.webp) The broth loaded with perilla seeds was rich and nutty, a flavor that kept me coming back for more! I feel like it'd be even better on a cold day haha ![Noodle strands of buckwheat perilla kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-17-7004v-900.webp) Buckwheat kalguksu has a different charm from regular kalguksu, and it digested well with no heavy feeling afterward — great! ### Buckwheat king dumpling soup, 12,000 won ![Buckwheat king dumpling soup full of dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-18-1x4l2-900.webp) Another warm soup, buckwheat king dumpling soup~ As expected, a generous visual packed with king dumplings haha. Overall the portions were so generous, I fully approve this as a great-value restaurant!! ![Cross-section of a buckwheat king dumpling](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-19-1c1rw-900.webp) ![A single buckwheat king dumpling with a full filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup-20-9770u-900.webp) The buckwheat king dumpling wrapper felt like actual buckwheat, and the filling was substantial too, so each and every one felt satisfying and filling!! ## Sokcho Topgol Makguksu in three lines - A full lineup of buckwheat dishes — makguksu, kalguksu, king dumplings, and more - A Sokcho makguksu spot with great accessibility near Sokcho Beach - Especially don't skip the nutty, umami-rich deulmemak ## Where it is - Sokcho Topgol Makguksu Main Branch (속초탑골막국수 본점) - 12 Haeoreum-ro 188beon-gil, 1F, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 해오름로188번길 12 1층 속초탑골막국수 본점 - 38.1916152, 128.6017339 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8D%EC%B4%88%ED%83%91%EA%B3%A8%EB%A7%89%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@38.1916152,128.6017339,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-rice-counter/sokcho-topgol-makguksu-mandu-soup/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
