# Gangneung makguksu restaurant with pork-wrapped bibim noodles: Gossi's - By Haeri Song (https://superchart.com/en/@nakwon-dusk-noodle/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gangneung, Gangwon - Sponsored: This visit was sponsored by the business. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@nakwon-dusk-noodle/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@nakwon-dusk-noodle/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/index.md) ## In short Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch is a Korean restaurant on the coastal road across from Gangmun Beach in Gangneung, where a second-generation family makes its own buckwheat noodles. Arriving before noon meant no wait and a second-floor seat at the full-length window overlooking the sea, with spicy sundubu kalguksu, mul-makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles in broth), spicy bibim guksu and a pork set on the table — rolling the spicy bibim noodles into a slice of moist boiled pork was the best bite. Easy to fit in before or after a beach walk, and a restaurant worth returning to. ## Good to know - **Address**: 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung, Gangwon (floors 1–3) - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 10:00–20:30 / Sat–Sun 08:00–20:30 - **Last order**: 20:00 - **Parking**: 1 hour free at Gangmun Public Parking Lots 1 and 2, extended by 30 minutes on request, free for cars entering after 6pm - **Dishes ordered**: Spicy sundubu kalguksu, mul-makguksu, spicy bibim guksu, pork set - **Facilities**: Baby chairs, self-serve corner (side plates, wet wipes, extra side dishes), Gangwon specialty gift corner *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* While traveling around Gangneung, I stopped by a restaurant near Gangmun Beach serving buckwheat dishes and spicy sundubu (soft tofu). This is Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch, a second-generation restaurant making its own buckwheat noodles, where you can eat while looking out at an open ocean view. ![Main image of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-01-155yj-1200.webp) ## Where is Gossi's Donghae Makguksu in Gangneung, and what does it look like? ![Exterior of Gossi's Main Branch along the coastal road at Gangmun Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-02-yy035-900.webp) Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch is located at 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung, Gangwon. It sits right along the coastal road directly across from Gangmun Beach, making it a perfect stop before or after checking out the ocean. ![View of the restaurant entrance across from Gangmun Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-03-13u7u-900.webp) For parking, using Gangmun Public Parking Lots 1 or 2 gets you 1 hour free, and asking at the counter can get you extra support — so even if you drive, you can walk in without worrying about parking. ## Inside Gossi's: second-floor window seats with a Gangmun Beach ocean view ![Interior of Gossi's Main Branch near the 1st-floor register](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-04-1pof8-900.webp) ![Gangwon specialty gift corner next to the register](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-05-18xhf-900.webp) Right by the entrance, next to the register, there's a Gangwon specialty gift corner, so you can pick up a little something after your meal too. ![Celebrity signatures on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-06-zarp6-900.webp) ![Wall covered in signatures from visiting celebrities](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-07-176xt-900.webp) Looks like quite a few celebrities have visited already — the wall was covered in signatures. ![Sign about free parking at Gangmun public parking lots](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-08-vl54z-900.webp) At Gangmun Public Parking Lots 1 and 2, you get 1 hour free after entry, and you can request a 30-minute extension after that. Entry after 6pm is free parking. ![Corner of the restaurant with baby chairs and self-serve station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-09-jf85b-900.webp) There are baby chairs and a self-serve corner set up too, so it's comfortable to eat here even with family in tow. ![High-ceilinged view of the second-floor dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-10-1qwm7-900.webp) Walking up to the second floor, you're greeted by high ceilings and a neatly maintained, tidy dining hall. It's a panoramic ocean-view layout, where you can enjoy the refreshing Gangmun sea beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows while eating — a setting that pleases both the eyes and the mouth at once. ![Gangmun ocean view through the 2nd-floor floor-to-ceiling windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-11-hv3h2-900.webp) The view is just so good ✨ ![Window-side table seating overlooking the ocean](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-12-1o8jz-900.webp) The tables are spaced comfortably apart, making it a great spot for a family meal or a date. The interior is kept hygienically clean, so I could enjoy a comfortable atmosphere throughout the meal. ![Spaced-out tables on the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-13-197fo-900.webp) We visited early, just before noon, slightly ahead of peak time, so we could get seated comfortably without any wait. ## What's on the menu at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu? ![Menu board at Gossi's Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-14-1267a-900.webp) ## What we ordered: spicy sundubu kalguksu, mul-makguksu, spicy bibim guksu and boiled pork ![Table set with the ordered dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-15-195lq-900.webp) Because the noodles are made in-house, the dishes came out quickly after ordering, so we didn't have to wait long before digging in. Plates, wet wipes, and extra side dishes were all neatly available at the self-serve corner. ![A bowl of spicy sundubu kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-16-nrmqx-900.webp) The soft, savory Chodang sundubu (Gangneung-style soft tofu) from Gangneung paired perfectly with the chewy kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) strands and the spicy, deep broth. ![Close-up of Chodang sundubu and kalguksu noodles in spicy broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-17-ktywe-900.webp) Spicy enough to be called the ultimate hangover cure, yet softened by the tofu's gentle texture, it had me scraping the bowl clean down to the last spoonful of broth. I hadn't even had a drink the night before, but it still felt like a hangover cure. 👍🏻 ![A bowl of house-made mul-makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-18-3kmhr-900.webp) ![Close-up of the clear broth mul-makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-19-9ksuw-900.webp) The basic mul-makguksu (cold buckwheat noodles in broth) had a clean broth with a pleasant buckwheat aroma spreading through it — not overpowering, but with a refined savoriness. ![Spicy bibim guksu topped with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-20-1t8ne-900.webp) Next up was the spicy bibim guksu (spicy mixed noodles), where the umami-packed sauce was well soaked into the nutty buckwheat noodles. ![Mixed spicy bibim guksu buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-21-16unk-900.webp) It wasn't overly sharp — spicy and sweet, but finishing clean, which really got the appetite going. Eating it wrapped with the pork was such a great combination. ![A plate of pork included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-22-sy285-900.webp) The pork included in the set had no gamey smell at all, and the meat was tender with plenty of moisture. Wrapping a moist piece of pork in the house-made spicy bibim noodles created a fantastic balance between the meat's savoriness and the sweet-spicy kick of the sauce. ## Is Gossi's Donghae Makguksu worth a stop near Gangmun Beach? ![Table of makguksu and pork set by the ocean-view window](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork-23-108l5-900.webp) Looking out at the Gangmun Beach ocean view while thoroughly enjoying high-quality house-made buckwheat makguksu, tender pork, and spicy sundubu kalguksu made for a truly satisfying time. Thanks to the clean, hygienic setting and precise flavors, this is a place I'd definitely want to visit again. ## Gossi's Donghae Makguksu: address, hours and parking - Address: 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea - Hours: Mon–Fri 10:00–20:30 / Sat–Sun 08:00–20:30 - Last order: 20:00 - Parking: 1 hour free at Gangmun Public Parking Lots 1 & 2, extendable by 30 min on request, free after 6pm entry ## Where it is - Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch (강릉 고씨네동해막국수&순두부칼국수 본점) - 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung, Gangwon, South Korea (1st–3rd floors) - 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/@nakwon-dusk-noodle/gangneung-gangmun-beach-buckwheat-noodles-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
