The writer ordered makguksu (buckwheat noodles), hoe-makguksu (noodles topped with seasoned raw pollack), and memil-jeonbyeong (buckwheat crepe), ladling dongchimi (radish water kimchi) broth from a jar over the noodles, and found the restaurant even offers free baby makguksu and baby chairs for children under 48 months. With its mild, non-spicy dongchimi broth and clean buckwheat noodles, it's a great pick for families traveling with a baby. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Wed–Mon 10:20–20:30 - **Closed**: Every Tuesday - **Parking**: Parking space in front of the building, plenty more near the beach - **Address**: 42 Gonghang-gil 127beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-teukbyeoljachido, South Korea - **Baby chairs**: Available - **Baby makguksu**: Free for children under 48 months - **Ordered**: Makguksu, hoe-makguksu, memil-jeonbyeong (buckwheat crepe) - **Basic side dishes**: Yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi), ssammu (pickled radish wrap) - **Event**: Receipt review raffle (1st prize: ₩50,000 Shinsegae gift card) *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* When I traveled to Gangneung in 2024, a friend recommended this makguksu spot to me!! I went to try Samgyori Dongchimi Makguksu and was genuinely blown away by how good it was, even though it was winter... Back then I went to the Gangneung main branch, but this time I booked my stay at Shilla Monogram, and since the Namhangjin branch was nearby, I headed there instead!! > A must-visit near Shilla Monogram Gangneung! ## Hours, parking, and baby chair info - 🕖 Hours: Wed–Mon 10:20–20:30 (closed every Tuesday) - 🅿️ Parking: Space in front of the building - 📍 Address: 42 Gonghang-gil 127beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-teukbyeoljachido, South Korea - ✅ Baby chairs: Yes ### Parking ![Parking space in front of Samgyori Dongchimi Makguksu Namhangjin branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-01-1qbq0-966.webp) There's plenty of parking right in front of the restaurant, and lots more available near the beach too! ## Seaside vibes — what's the atmosphere like? ![Interior of the makguksu restaurant with colorful paintings on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-02-wsc5f-966.webp) ![Beach-themed interior decor of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-03-19k0h-966.webp) ![Dining hall seating at Samgyori Dongchimi Makguksu Namhangjin branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-04-1q7bb-966.webp) ![Restaurant wall decorated with paintings](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-05-nn0uy-966.webp) The colorful paintings hanging around the restaurant give it a real beachy feel! I noticed a lot of local Gangneung residents dining there too — a place where locals eat has to be good, right,,, (getting excited, excited) ![Small courtyard with green plants inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-06-1115v-966.webp) So green — there's even a little courtyard inside the restaurant. ![Baby chair set up in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-07-wcy4e-966.webp) ## Okay to bring a baby? Free makguksu for kids under 48 months They have plenty of baby chairs ready, and for children under 48 months, they even give free baby makguksu? My baby was napping so I didn't order it, but I was so grateful ㅠㅠ Restaurants where you can share a meal with your baby are the best. ![Sign about the restaurant's overseas children's charity sponsorship](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-08-1566n-966.webp) They also sponsor overseas children's charities — amazing ㅠㅠ ## Menu and ordering ![Menu board at Samgyori Dongchimi Makguksu Namhangjin branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-09-ttiw0-966.webp) ![Menu board listing makguksu and buckwheat crepe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-10-1bo2d-966.webp) We ordered makguksu, hoe-makguksu, and since we were in Gangwon-do, memil-jeonbyeong (buckwheat crepe) too! They give you yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) and ssammu (pickled radish wrap) as basic side dishes. ![Basic side dishes of yeolmu kimchi and ssammu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-11-1415f-966.webp) ![Table set with basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-12-1qnvl-966.webp) They also had a receipt review raffle?

No reason not to enter lol ![Sign for the receipt review raffle event](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-13-19tjm-966.webp) ![Buckwheat crepe served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-14-m16td-966.webp) ### Buckwheat crepe (memil-jeonbyeong) The wrapper is chewy and a little spicy. It felt like meeting a chewy buckwheat skin with a kimchi-mandu-like filling — of course it's delicious. ![Cross-section of the chewy buckwheat crepe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-15-l7clo-966.webp) ![A spread of makguksu and hoe-makguksu topped with seasoned pollack](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-16-1eutn-1200.webp) ## How to eat dongchimi makguksu the right way The makguksu and hoe-makguksu came out. The hoe-makguksu is topped with seasoned raw pollack. Pour the dongchimi broth from the cute jar bowl with the ladle — slurp! ![Dongchimi broth in a jar with a ladle](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-17-19m5v-m-966.webp) They actually wrote out how to eat it deliciously, so follow along — three ladles of dongchimi for the plain makguksu, one ladle for the hoe-makguksu!! ![Instructions for how to enjoy the makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-18-1xt3t-966.webp) There's sugar, mustard, vinegar, perilla oil, and bibim sauce on the table, so you can add them to taste! Sugar might seem like an unexpected addition, but it's actually kind of the secret weapon. ![Table with sugar, mustard, vinegar, perilla oil, and bibim sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-19-cq6ep-966.webp) ![Makguksu with dongchimi broth poured over it](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-20-omq5s-966.webp) The dongchimi broth isn't overly sweet-and-sour or intense at all — it pairs really well with the clean, plain buckwheat noodles. Slurp, slurp, I inhaled the noodles with the broth ㅠ and wrapped some with the ssammu too,,, ![Buckwheat noodles lifted from a bowl of dongchimi makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-21-1atpb-966.webp) ![Hoe-makguksu topped with seasoned raw pollack](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-22-17nmr-966.webp) ### Makguksu vs. hoe-makguksu The plain makguksu is delicious on its own, but adding the seasoned pollack brings a sweet-and-sour flavor that makes it a real specialty. Eating it with the yeolmu kimchi adds extra crunch too! I was so hungry I just inhaled it, slurp slurp... and when I came to my senses, my husband said he wanted some too but there was none left..;;;;;;;;;;;; (sorry, you should've eaten faster ㅠ..) Whoever eats fast wins — that's just how the world works. lol... ![Autographs from celebrity visitors displayed in the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-23-1rj4h-966.webp) ![View of Namhangjin Beach from in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby-24-1yjxu-966.webp) ## After the meal, a stroll on Namhangjin Beach On my way out, I noticed a bunch of celebrities had visited too — of course, it's a famous makguksu spot in Gangneung,, Not sure if they still sell the coffee gunbbang (hard biscuit), but I've had it before and it was tasty!! Once you're stuffed, taking a walk on Namhangjin Beach right in front of the restaurant seems like it'd be lovely. It wasn't too crowded and felt pleasantly quiet, which made it even nicer. It's also close to Shilla Monogram Gangneung where I stayed, so if you're booking a stay there, this place is worth stopping by too! ## Where it is - Samgyori Dongchimi Makguksu Namhangjin branch (삼교리동치미막국수 남항진점) - 42 Gonghang-gil 127beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-teukbyeoljachido, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 강릉시 공항길127번길 42 1층 삼교리동치미막국수 남항진점 - 37.7655797, 128.9526014 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%BC%EA%B5%90%EB%A6%AC%EB%8F%99%EC%B9%98%EB%AF%B8%EB%A7%89%EA%B5%AD%EC%88%98%20%EB%82%A8%ED%95%AD%EC%A7%84%EC%A0%90/@37.7655797,128.9526014,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mountain-town-receipts/gangneung-namhangjin-dongchimi-makguksu-baby/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
