On a weekend lunch visit booked through Naver, the writer ordered the Myeongpum table for four (25,000 won x 4): a soft tofu hot pot with blue crab and river shrimp, tofu samhap with boiled pork, whole tofu and gajami-sikhae, and spicy grilled half-dried pollock. Mild and easy on the stomach, Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu is a Gangneung sundubu spot that works especially well for a meal with parents. ## Good to know - **Location**: 200 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon (Chodang Sundubu Village) - **Hours**: 08:00-18:30, last order 17:30 (Mondays close at 16:00, last order 15:00) - **Regular closing day**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Dedicated lot in front of and beside the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Myeongpum table, 25,000 won x 4 - **Myeongpum table set**: Soft tofu hot pot + tofu samhap (with boiled pork) + spicy grilled half-dried pollock - **Menu lineup**: Chodang Myeongpum table, Chodang tofu table, tofu samhap (boiled pork), Chodang tofu hot pot, Chodang soft tofu hot pot - **Seating**: A range of tables, including 4-seat and 8-seat - **Price reference**: ₩25,000 ≈ $18.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* ![Full Myeongpum table spread at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-01-bq093-1200.webp) ![Gangneung Chodang sundubu Myeongpum table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-02-1wc6c-900.webp) You can't talk about Gangneung without mentioning Chodang sundubu (soft tofu). Wanting to try a proper, carefully prepared meal from a certified cooking master, I visited Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu, a well-known Gangneung restaurant. It especially won my trust because they use 100% domestic soybeans, grown by local residents themselves! From the sundubu jjigae — deep savory flavor without being overly rich — to the soft, moist boiled pork, to the sweet-and-spicy braised pollock that hooked my appetite, it was a proper, generous spread. Let me show you my honest review of the Myeongpum table at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu, a Gangneung Chodang sundubu favorite. ## Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu: location, hours and parking ![Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu storefront information image](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-03-1sor3-900.webp) > 🥄 Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu - Location: 200 Nanseolheon-ro, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - Hours: 08:00–18:30 / last order 17:30 (Mondays last order 15:00, closing 16:00) - Regular closed day: every Tuesday - Parking: dedicated lot in front of and beside the restaurant ![Exterior of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu in Chodang Sundubu Village, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-04-tglbw-900.webp) This is the clean, tidy exterior of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu, located right in Gangneung's Chodang Sundubu Village. ![Clean interior seating at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-05-7wula-900.webp) ## Weekend lunch with a Naver booking: is there a wait?

Eating properly made, nutty, clean-tasting whole tofu after so long was moving — truly the best of the best. ![Plate of spicy braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-14-s6u5v-900.webp) The spicy braised pollock arrived too, giving off a savory aroma!

The fluffy soft tofu had a delicate texture that kept my spoon going back for more. I savored the sweet, deep, clean flavor unique to Chodang tofu, and the cleanness really stood out. ![A spoonful of sundubu jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-22-s3aj3-900.webp) ![Braised pollock flesh soaked in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-23-prm7f-900.webp) ## Spicy grilled half-dried pollock, and why we ordered extra rice The spicy braised pollock is made from thick pollock, fried and then braised in sauce, so the sweet-spicy seasoning soaked right into the flesh — so good 🤤. It was so soft and moist that we couldn't help but order an extra bowl of rice. ![Spicy braised pollock served with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-jeongeunsuk-weekend-lunch-24-3j7wy-900.webp) ## Why Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu suits a meal with parents Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu is a local Gangneung favorite where anyone, regardless of generation or taste, can enjoy a filling and healthy meal from a generous Myeongpum table.
