Three diners ordered samsaek modubu (three-color firm tofu), spicy sundubu stew, chodang sundubu and hwangtae haejangguk (dried pollack soup), and stacking the tofu with aged kimchi and seasoned pollack sashimi into a samhap bite was the highlight. With a newly built dining room, a large car park and even a pet-friendly room, Yetgoeul Sundubu is a filling stop on a family trip to Sokcho. ## Good to know - **Address**: 114 Wonam-haksapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State - **Hours**: Daily 07:00–20:00 - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Parking**: Large car park on site - **What we ordered**: Spicy sundubu, chodang sundubu, hwangtae haejangguk, samsaek modubu (for 3) - **Other dishes**: Tofu hot pot, grilled dried pollack, perilla-oil pan-fried tofu, squid sundae, buckwheat crepe - **Facilities**: Pet-friendly room, self-serve side dish fridge, microwave for baby food and kids' tableware, instant coffee after the meal *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* Whenever I want a warm, filling meal on a Sokcho trip, I end up in Hagsapyeong Sundubu Village — and today I visited Yetgoeul Sundubu, a spot that makes its soft tofu fresh every morning using 100% domestic soybeans and East Sea deep ocean water. Hagsapyeong Sundubu Village is full of long-running sundubu spots, and parking or access can be a hassle at some of them, but Yetgoeul Sundubu is in a new building, so it's clean and easy to get in and out of. Best of all, the parking lot is spacious, so there's no need to stress about finding a spot. Let's get into the review. ## Where is Yetgoeul Sundubu, and what are its hours and parking? - Address - 114 Wonam-hagsapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do - Hours - Daily 7am–8pm (break time 3:30pm–5pm) - Parking - Spacious lot, easy to park ![New building exterior of Yetgoeul Sundubu in Hagsapyeong, Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-01-1hhg6-900.webp) ![Entrance of Yetgoeul Sundubu facing the road](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-02-dql2b-900.webp) Yetgoeul Sundubu sits right on the road, so it's easy to access. As a bonus, you get a great view of Ulsanbawi Rock from the parking lot. ![View of Ulsanbawi Rock from the Yetgoeul Sundubu parking lot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-03-yc989-900.webp) ## Inside Yetgoeul Sundubu and its pet-friendly room Walking in, I spotted a tank with fresh seafood and abalone. The soybeans used for the tofu come from Yeoncheon Agricultural Cooperative, which gave me confidence in the ingredients. The dining room is spacious with generous spacing between tables, making it easy to use whether you're on a family trip or with a group. Lots of people travel with their dogs these days, and I noticed a good-sized separate pet-friendly room for dog owners. ![Pet-friendly room and spacious dining hall at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-04-16y4c-726.webp) ## What three of us ordered at Yetgoeul Sundubu The menu ranges widely — tofu hot pot, sundubu, haejangguk (hangover soup), grilled dried pollack, samsaek modubu (three-color tofu), sesame-oil pan-fried tofu, squid sundae, buckwheat crepe, and more. With three of us, we ordered the spicy sundubu and chodang sundubu (both come with hearty pot rice), hwangtae haejangguk, and the good-looking samsaek modubu. ![Yetgoeul Sundubu menu board listing tofu hot pot and sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-05-1mxmu-900.webp) ![Table spread with samsaek modubu and sundubu at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-06-1b8a8-1200.webp) ![Menu sign at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-07-tjlpq-900.webp) Looking around after ordering, I saw that any missing side dishes could be grabbed from a self-serve fridge. There's also a microwave for warming baby food and kids' tableware, so it felt thoughtfully set up for visitors with young children. After the meal, mix coffee is available for dessert. ![Self-serve side dish fridge and mix coffee corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-08-kgl0z-900.webp) ![Corner with baby food microwave and kids' tableware](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-09-2bkxn-m-900.webp) ## Side dishes and the bijitchigae (soybean pulp stew) All our food arrived. ![Plate of basic side dishes at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-10-wfo89-524.webp) ![Neatly arranged basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-11-1y8tj-524.webp) ![Bowl of soybean pulp stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-12-17j58-513.webp) ![Side dish plate at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-13-1h7z7-598.webp) ![Close-up of side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-14-ecbwa-621.webp) ![Side dish spread served with the sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-15-1ist8-600.webp) The basic side dishes, including the soybean pulp stew, were clean and neat in flavor, pairing well with everything else. ![Samsaek modubu served with aged kimchi and seasoned pollack sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-16-iwhet-789.webp) ## Three-color tofu with seasoned pollack sashimi, eaten samhap-style The first thing we tried was the samsaek modubu (three-color tofu), made fresh that day from domestic soybeans — it was nutty and soft, really delicious. It's good dipped in soy sauce, but topping it with the aged kimchi and seasoned pollack sashimi that came alongside, samhap-style, was even better — the mild tofu paired beautifully with the tangy, spicy flavors. ![A piece of samsaek modubu topped with seasoned pollack sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-17-1gmtr-900.webp) ![Plate of house-made samsaek modubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-18-36cp4-900.webp) ## How the spicy sundubu and chodang sundubu taste The spicy sundubu was loaded with mussels, clams, and other seafood, giving the broth a refreshing quality. Despite being labeled spicy, it leaned more savory and clean than actually hot, so it was easy to eat without worry. ![Spicy sundubu with mussels and clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-19-18508-900.webp) ![Seafood-packed spicy sundubu broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-20-1pzla-900.webp) My favorite, chodang sundubu, is best enjoyed plain, with nothing added, letting the pure tofu flavor shine. Soft and mild with a subtle nutty sweetness, it's the kind of dish you keep reaching for. ![Plain chodang sundubu with nothing added](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-21-dij2j-900.webp) ![A bowl of soft chodang sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-22-jxqp1-900.webp) ## Dried pollack soup and crispy rice from the cauldron pot The hwangtae haejangguk (dried pollack hangover soup) my husband loves exceeded expectations too. Generously packed with bean sprouts, dried pollack, and tofu, the broth was rich yet clean — every bit as good as a dedicated haejangguk restaurant. Being able to get such a good haejangguk at a sundubu place meant more options for everyone. ![Hwangtae haejangguk loaded with bean sprouts and dried pollack](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-23-leamk-900.webp) ![Pot rice topped with potato and sweet pumpkin](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu-24-dzozo-900.webp) And the piping hot pot rice, glossy and topped with potato and sweet pumpkin, was tasty enough to eat plain. After scooping out the rice, they pour water into the pot to make crispy rice, and we finished the meal with the savory nurungji (scorched rice) and sungnyung (scorched rice tea). If you're looking for a great sundubu meal in Sokcho, Yetgoeul Sundubu — with its spacious parking, convenient new building, and amenities that work well for families, kids, and even dogs — is a great place to properly enjoy the nutty flavor of tofu made from domestic soybeans. Thanks for another delicious meal today. ## Where it is - Yetgoeul Sundubu (옛고을순두부) - 114 Wonam-hagsapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 원암학사평길 114 - 38.2062824, 128.5204966 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%9B%EA%B3%A0%EC%9D%84%EC%88%9C%EB%91%90%EB%B6%80/@38.2062824,128.5204966,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-saucer-light/sokcho-haksapyeong-samsaek-modubu-eolkeun-sundubu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
