We had the 25,000 won Chodang Premium Table with added boiled pork, seasoned half-dried pollack, and crab sundubu hot pot. Verdict: a satisfying, healthy-feeling table for breakfast or a hangover cure. ## Good to know - **Address**: 200 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원 강릉시 난설헌로 200) - **Hours**: 08:00–18:30 - **Last order**: 17:30 - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Free parking available - **Signature menu**: Chodang Premium Table, ₩25,000 per person - **Add-on**: Boiled pork add-on, ₩11,000 - **Reservation benefit**: 10% off event when visiting with a Naver reservation *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* The Gangneung restaurant I’m introducing today is Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu (정은숙초당순두부), a Chodang-dong spot that serves breakfast in Gangneung and puts its own name on the line. ![Introduction to Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu in Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-01-sxcri-1200.webp) ![Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu signature menu introduction](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-02-ief5s-900.webp) ## Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu: an honest three-line review - A great Gangneung spot for breakfast - There’s a reason it’s so popular - A restaurant whose name is its guarantee ## How are breakfast and parking? ![Exterior of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-03-1kpgw-900.webp) A great sundubu restaurant in Chodang-dong, Gangneung—and yes, breakfast is available 😊 This Gangneung breakfast spot opens from 8:00. It is good for breakfast and just as good for curing a hangover. ![Parking information for Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-04-1gadp-900.webp) This sundubu restaurant is right across from the Heo Gyun and Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park. If the lot is full, use the free Heo Nanseolheon parking lot. But this restaurant’s own lot is wider than I expected—so wide that I thought, can it really ever fill up?? A Gangneung sundubu restaurant with easy parking. ![Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu selected by a culinary master](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-05-aevxc-889.webp) A Chodang tofu table featuring Gangneung samhap (a three-part combination), created by a selected 15th-generation culinary master. Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu is a sundubu restaurant run under the owner’s own name. ![Reservation kiosk at the Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-06-17hbu-900.webp) ![Event information at the Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-07-sbwzc-900.webp) There is a Tableling waitlist kiosk and an event kiosk at the entrance. I hear this place gets seriously busy on weekends too. If you are worried about waiting, be sure to reserve before visiting. I reserved through Naver too. There is currently a 10% discount event for Naver reservation visits 👍 ## Inside the restaurant at weekday lunch ![Inside Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-08-4dol7-900.webp) I visited at weekday lunchtime, and there were already quite a few customers. They seemed like people who had checked out of their accommodations. Or perhaps Gangneung locals, like me, coming in for lunch. ![Four-person tables at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-09-12b1q-900.webp) There were quite a lot of four-person tables. It would be good for family meals, and groups should be fine too. There was no grease or stickiness on the tables at all; the restaurant overall felt pleasant and clean. ## Chodang Premium Table with added boiled pork ![Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-10-ty707-900.webp) *Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu menu* A wonderfully simple menu. > We serve only pure handmade tofu dishes made with 100% Korean soybeans. The Chodang tofu table’s tofu samhap was selected as a Gangneung special food. We ordered the restaurant’s signature Chodang Premium Table. ![Chodang Premium Table boiled pork add-on](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-11-1s3sd-900.webp) For an add-on, we got the boiled pork. Got to replenish that protein after working out 😉 > Chodang Premium Table: ₩25,000 per person / boiled pork add-on: ₩11,000 Three Chodang Premium Tables plus added boiled pork. Sundubu hot pot, tofu samhap, and seasoned grilled half-dried pollack filled the table. ![A full Chodang Premium Table with boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-12-183qd-900.webp) First off, as you would expect from a good restaurant, the basic side dishes were delicious. I especially liked the salad and cheongpomuk (mung bean jelly) 😋 ![Basic side dishes for the Chodang Premium Table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-13-tay4t-900.webp) ### How did we eat the tofu samhap? Tofu samhap: boiled pork + tofu + gajami sikhae (fermented flatfish). ![Tofu samhap with boiled pork, tofu, and fermented flatfish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-14-9ftmf-900.webp) ![Components of the tofu samhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-15-175b7-900.webp) We ate the boiled pork with gajami sikhae and wrapped it in lettuce too. It had just the right amount of juice and was not dry at all, so it was delicious. Personally, I really liked the gajami sikhae. ![Tofu, boiled pork, and fermented fish samhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-16-j3gst-900.webp) Chodang tofu made with 100% Korean soybeans. Pop the tofu, boiled pork, and sikhae into one bite. It was a samhap where the nuttiness, moisture, richness, and sweet-tangy flavor all came together beautifully. The tofu itself is simply delicious here. ![Chodang tofu made with Korean soybeans](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-17-unwdb-900.webp) ![Chodang tofu and tofu samhap](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-18-1n7tr-900.webp) ### Seasoned grilled half-dried pollack and sundubu hot pot Seasoned grilled half-dried pollack. The seasoning on this was insane—a total rice thief. If grilled pollack had been available as an add-on, I think I would have ordered more. It only comes with the Premium Table, so make sure you try it. ![Seasoned grilled half-dried pollack from the Premium Table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-19-15923-900.webp) ![Sundubu hot pot with crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-20-ijtor-900.webp) Sundubu hot pot. A place with delicious tofu will always make delicious sundubu hot pot. The crab gave it an extra-refreshing flavor, and it was so good for a hangover. The tofu was nutty and full of savory depth. This is not the jjamppong-style sundubu; it is proper, traditional Chodang sundubu. It was not spicy at all—about as mild as Jin Ramen Mild? ## Overall thoughts after the meal ![Overall review of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast-21-njacm-900.webp) Right across from Gyeongpo Lake’s Heo Gyun and Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park, this is a sundubu restaurant where a 15th-generation culinary master cooks under her own name. Every part of the meal was delicious, without a single weak link, and we left feeling good after a healthy-feeling meal. I expect the weekend wait to be fairly long, so I recommend making a Naver reservation. ## Where it is - Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu (정은숙초당순두부) (정은숙초당순두부) - 200 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원특별자치도 강릉시 난설헌로 200) - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 난설헌로 200 - 37.79075, 128.9120159 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%9D%80%EC%88%99%EC%B4%88%EB%8B%B9%EC%88%9C%EB%91%90%EB%B6%80/@37.79075,128.9120159,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-roadside-lunch/gangneung-chodang-tofu-breakfast/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
