The two-person set brought spicy sundubu kalguksu, perilla oil makguksu, kkamakjang suyuk, and buckwheat keto gimbap to an ocean-view window table, with side dishes that matched everything perfectly. If you want Gangwon local food and a sea view in one sitting, this is a safe bet. ## Good to know - **Location**: Right in front of Gangmun Beach, spread across floors 1–3 of the building - **Ordering**: Kiosk at each table - **Ordered menu**: Two-person set (spicy sundubu kalguksu, perilla oil makguksu, kkamakjang suyuk, myeongtae sikhae, buckwheat keto gimbap) - **Side dishes**: Pickled radish, yeolmu kimchi, kkakdugi / self-service bar - **Ingredients**: House-made noodles (cut to order), 100% Gangneung tofu, organic perilla oil from a Yangyang master producer *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I recently went on a trip to Gangneung and had such a satisfying meal at a spot locals actually recommend, so I wanted to share it with you. ![Gossi's Donghae Makguksu two-person set table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-01-1t9ei-900.webp) We ordered the two-person set, which lets you enjoy a wide, generous spread of dishes! Eating it while looking out at the open ocean at Gangmun Beach... pure healing. The spicy sundubu (soft tofu) kalguksu (knife-cut noodle soup), with its rich, hot broth, was exactly what I needed to clear my head, and the perilla oil makguksu (buckwheat noodles), with its nutty aroma filling my whole mouth, was addictively good — I kept reaching for more. ## Right in front of Gangmun Beach — how to get there It's Gossi's Donghae Makguksu, located right in front of Gangmun Beach, so you can eat while looking out at the open sea. ![Exterior of the Gossi's Donghae Makguksu building in front of Gangmun Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-02-o22zv-900.webp) It's a grand building you'll spot while walking along the Gangmun Beach path! The first floor has a variety of ![Local specialty products sold on the first floor of the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-03-mh9n1-900.webp) local specialty products and things to browse, so it's really nice to walk around before or after your meal. The location right in front of Gangmun Beach also made it super simple and convenient to find. ![Restaurant entrance right in front of Gangmun Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-04-s01nh-900.webp) ![Information area inside Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-05-1te9e-900.webp) ## Inside the restaurant and the ocean-view seats Stepping inside, a clean, pleasant interior greeted us. There was a sign explaining that the noodles are house-made and cut fresh the moment you order, which made me trust the taste even more! ![Clean interior with a sign about house-made noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-06-moz16-m-900.webp) One of this restaurant's biggest strengths is definitely the sweeping ocean view through the windows! Seeing the sea right in front of you really makes you feel like you're on a trip, and it somehow made the food taste even better. Ordering is easy through the kiosk placed at each table, and we ordered the two-person set and stuffed ourselves silly. ![Table kiosk and window seating with an ocean view](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-07-ypzyh-900.webp) On one side, the self-service bar and utensils were kept hygienically tidy, and the side dishes were tasty too. ![Hygienically managed self-service bar and utensils](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-08-1l87i-966.webp) The basic side dishes were neat pickled radish, yeolmu kimchi (young radish greens kimchi), and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi). Their tangy-sweet yet clean flavor paired really well with the main dishes. ![Pickled radish, yeolmu kimchi, and kkakdugi basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-09-k5o9p-900.webp) ![Table set with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-10-157fl-900.webp) ## So what's in the two-person set? We ordered the two-person set so we could try several signature dishes at once. Seeing the neatly arranged food set against the wide-open sea made us gasp, haha. ![Two-person set laid out against the sea backdrop](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-11-1wgww-900.webp) ### Spicy sundubu kalguksu The first thing we tried was the spicy sundubu kalguksu, and the fiery, hot broth was loaded with soft sundubu, savory ground meat, and a generous helping of gim (seaweed) flakes. ![Spicy sundubu kalguksu topped with sundubu, ground meat, and gim flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-12-1cd9d-676.webp) Made with 100% Gangneung tofu, the broth was genuinely rich and completely hit the spot — I immediately understood why this place is famous as a sundubu spot in Gangneung!!! ![A bowl of spicy sundubu kalguksu with rich broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-13-811ha-900.webp) ![Plate of kkamakjang suyuk and myeongtae sikhae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-14-13doq-900.webp) ### Kkamakjang suyuk and perilla oil makguksu The tender kkamakjang suyuk (boiled pork with black bean sauce) included in the set was perfect when topped with the tangy, spicy sikhae (fermented fish salad) — the combination was flawless. And then the perilla oil makguksu, which exceeded expectations! Made with organic perilla oil grown by a master producer in Yangyang, mixing it with gim flakes, sesame seeds, and sprouts released a nutty flavor that was so good. ![Perilla oil makguksu topped with gim flakes, sesame seeds, and sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-15-1aj0z-900.webp) ### Buckwheat keto gimbap On top of all that, adding the buckwheat keto gimbap (seaweed rice roll), piled high with orange flying fish roe, made for a fun texture and a proper specialty dish?! ![Buckwheat keto gimbap topped with flying fish roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-16-12uhk-900.webp) ![The set menu enjoyed at the ocean-view window seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-17-1behp-900.webp) ## A browse through the first floor after the meal It was a great time enjoying high-quality Gangwon-do local food with a gorgeous ocean view. After the meal, on the first floor, ![Browsing the first-floor shop displays after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set-18-17qe4-1200.webp) there was a fun browsing experience too, so if you're looking for a can't-fail Gangneung restaurant recommendation, be sure to visit! True to being a Gangneung restaurant recommended by locals, it was a satisfying meal that lacked nothing — not the visuals, not the taste, and not the view. ## Where it is - Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch (강릉 고씨네동해막국수&순두부칼국수 본점) - 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-teukbyeoljachido, South Korea (1st–3rd floor) - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 창해로350번길 25 1층~3층 강릉 고씨네동해막국수&순두부칼국수 본점 - 37.7963232, 128.9171794 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%95%EB%A6%89%20%EA%B3%A0%EC%94%A8%EB%84%A4%EB%8F%99%ED%95%B4%EB%A7%89%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%26%EC%88%9C%EB%91%90%EB%B6%80%EC%B9%BC%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.7963232,128.9171794,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mirror-browser-pouch/gangneung-gangmun-spicy-sundubu-kalguksu-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
