About a 10-minute walk from Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal, Deungdae Gotgan serves jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork) and nakji haejangguk (octopus hangover soup) from 8am, and the soup came out clear and clean like bokjiritang while the pork was not sweet, with a gentle smoky note. For anyone looking for breakfast in Sokcho without a car, Deungdae Gotgan is a solid pick. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2F, 109 Yeongnanghaean-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do - **Hours**: 08:00-17:00 (last order 16:30) - **Closed**: Every Wednesday - **Parking**: Street parking along the beach road - **Signature dishes**: Jjagul nakji (braised octopus stew), nakji haejangguk (octopus hangover soup), jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork), pork cutlet - **Ordering note**: Jjagul nakji is served for 2 people minimum - **Seating**: 6-7 tables; extra chairs and tables can be moved - **With kids**: High chairs and children's tableware available *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* Deungdae Gotgan, the breakfast spot in front of Deungdae Beach. ![Exterior of Deungdae Gotgan in front of Deungdae Beach, Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-01-bqsyn-966.webp) - 📍2F, 109 Yeongnanghaean-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - ⏰ 08:00 - 17:00 / last order 16:30 - Closed every Wednesday - 🚗 Street parking along the beach road I stayed one night near Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal and went to Deungdae Gotgan for breakfast. The wide-open sea view from Deungdae Beach was really beautiful. Since it opens at 8am, this is a great option if you're looking for a breakfast spot in Yeongnang-dong. Let me give you an honest rundown from the menu to the taste. ## Where is Deungdae Gotgan? A 10-minute walk from Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal ![Entrance to the building right across from Deungdae Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-02-wlq5c-966.webp) Deungdae Gotgan sits right in front of Deungdae Beach, and walking from Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal took a little over 10 minutes. It's also close to Yeonggeumjeong, so it's a convenient breakfast stop on a Sokcho trip. ![Menu signage at the entrance of Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-03-o3vn0-966.webp) The signature menu is jjaglaknakji, nakji haejangguk, and jeyuk bokkeum — Korean dishes that are hard to dislike. They also have pork cutlet, so it's a good spot to bring kids too. ![Staircase leading up to the 2nd floor of Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-04-kcp6i-966.webp) ![Phrases posted on each stair step](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-05-vljxe-966.webp) The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, so you go up a staircase, and there are little phrases posted on each step. They kind of stuck with me haha 🤣 ![Baby chairs set up at Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-06-1qc6f-966.webp) Since there are a lot of families with kids, they've got plenty of baby chairs ready. ![Second-floor dining room with a full window overlooking the Sokcho sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-07-1yk4w-966.webp) ## What the second-floor ocean-view window seats are like Climbing the stairs and turning the corner, the view is unreal,,? Is this really a restaurant and not a café? Wow, the Sokcho sea through the full window was so stunning. There are about 6-7 tables, and since extra chairs and tables can be moved around easily, families can dine comfortably here. ![Sokcho ocean view seen from a window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-08-w2l5m-966.webp) A view that makes your jaw drop no matter how many times you see it — I took a seat by the window facing the ocean. ## Deungdae Gotgan's menu, side dishes and self-serve bar ![Deungdae Gotgan's menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-09-1l1vf-966.webp) I ordered jeyuk bokkeum and nakji haejangguk. Jjaglaknakji requires a minimum order for 2 people.

Every single one was delicious. You could really tell the owner has a good hand for cooking 👍🏻 ![Self-serve side dish bar at Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-11-oefm3-966.webp) ![Containers of side dishes at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-12-77eg1-966.webp) There's a separate self-serve bar, so you can easily grab more of any side dish you run low on. ![Tableware corner next to the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-13-oa4np-966.webp) ![Children's tableware set out and ready](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-14-1ilfm-966.webp) Children's tableware is also available. ![A breakfast spread of jeyuk bokkeum and nakji haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-15-btnhl-966.webp) ## How the nakji haejangguk tastes: clear and clean like bokjiritang A hearty breakfast in Sokcho — if you're doing a walking trip, you've got to eat well, right 😉 I hadn't been drinking, but I wanted something hot in soup form, so I ordered the nakji haejangguk along with jeyuk bokkeum. ![Nakji haejangguk with tofu and octopus](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-16-1rxf7-966.webp) ![Close-up of the clear broth in the nakji haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-17-r7hql-966.webp) ![Octopus and vegetables inside the nakji haejangguk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-18-1ougy-966.webp) The nakji haejangguk is a clear broth loaded with tofu, vegetables, and octopus. The broth tasted similar to bokjiritang — not sharp or strong, just clean. It was perfect for a hangover cure or a morning meal. ## Jeyuk bokkeum: not sweet, with a gentle smoky note ![A plate of jeyuk bokkeum from Deungdae Gotgan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-19-1nslx-966.webp) ![Close-up of jeyuk bokkeum with lean cuts of meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-20-1elld-966.webp) Looking at this jeyuk bokkeum makes my mouth water again 🤤 What I loved most was that it wasn't overly sweet. When it's too sweet-and-salty it gets tiring fast and feels too intense for breakfast, but this had a bit of spicy kick and a subtle smoky flavor that made it really enjoyable. The meat was also tender with no gamey smell and mostly lean cuts, which I liked 🤍 ![Seasoned laver and dipping sauce served alongside](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-21-s97fn-966.webp) It comes with seasoned laver and a dipping sauce too, and that combo is a real treat haha ![Breakfast eaten by a window overlooking the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk-22-p4w85-1200.webp) I had a solid, hearty breakfast looking out at the Sokcho sea. If you're looking for a good breakfast spot near Deungdae Beach or Yeonggeumjeong, give this place a try. You'll be won over by the clean atmosphere and the owner's cooking skill. ## Where it is - Deungdae Gotgan (등대곳간) - 2F, 109 Yeongnanghaean-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 영랑해안길 109 2층 등대곳간 - 38.2149017, 128.5973147 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%93%B1%EB%8C%80%EA%B3%B3%EA%B0%84/@38.2149017,128.5973147,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@menus-and-margins/sokcho-yeongnangdong-morning-jeyuk-nakji-haejangguk/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
