Sokcho makguksu restaurant for a group lunch with pork platter: Topgol

Sokcho Topgol Makguksu Main Branch is a self-milled makguksu (buckwheat cold noodle) restaurant near Sokcho Beach. Four of us ordered a large suyuk (boiled pork) platter — about 27 thin slices — plus perilla oil buckwheat makguksu and pollack sashimi makguksu, wrapping the pork in noodles and switching things up midway with dongchimi (radish water kimchi) broth. If you want a light, satisfying Sokcho lunch that isn't seafood, this makguksu-and-pork combo is the answer.

Solo lunch pork bone soup near Cheongcho Lake, Sokcho: Gwandongjip

Gwandongjip is a Korean restaurant near Cheongcho Lake in Sokcho, Gangwon, serving gamjatang (pork bone and potato stew) and ppyeohaejangguk (pork bone soup). A solo brunch order of ppyeohaejangguk for ₩10,000 came with bean sprouts instead of napa cabbage for a clean broth and three big chunks of meat, so filling the rice went uneaten, plus six tasty side dishes. Verdict: a satisfying, no-fuss lunch stop for hungry travelers.
