Samcheok Jeungsan Beach restaurant: abalone porridge lunch omakase

Hi everyone, this is Lovely D :) The weather's been so up and down lately that I keep thinking about a healing trip where I just stare at the sea haha. So I wanted to share a spot from my recent Gangwon-do trip that really satisfied me.

Where is Samcheok Bomulseom, and what are the hours and parking?

Samcheok Bomulseom (삼척보물섬) is on the 1st floor at 364 Suro Buin-gil, right in front of Jeungsan Beach in Samcheok, Gangwon. Hours are 11:30 - 22:00, with a break time from 15:00 - 17:00, last order at 21:00, and it's closed every Tuesday.

You can park for free at Isabu Park or the Jeungsan Beach parking lot. Free parking makes it so convenient!

It's only a 5-minute walk from Samcheok SOL Beach, so the location was really convenient to find. If you're heading out to that area, it's the kind of Samcheok SOL Beach restaurant that fits perfectly into your itinerary.

Inside Samcheok Bomulseom: ocean-view window seats

Once you walk inside Samcheok Bomulseom, a wide-open floor-to-ceiling window reveals a refreshing ocean view that just makes you go 'wow' ㅠㅠ The weather was a little overcast, but that actually gave the sea an even moodier, more atmospheric feel.

There's a variety of seating too — from the terrace to the bar tables to private rooms — so I could stay comfortably. The interior is full of atmosphere, so photos turned out great too, which I really loved haha.

What comes in the lunch omakase course at Samcheok Bomulseom?

The menu we tried this time is the lunch omakase course at this Samcheok restaurant, standing out for its fresh seasonal seafood and generous composition! There's a range from à la carte items to a full, neat table spread, so there's fun in choosing — and the value-for-money omakase set at this Samcheok restaurant was especially popular for how packed it was.

Besides seafood, hearty dishes like abalone porridge and bossam are also part of the course, which looks great for a group visit too. When the dishes we ordered arrived, the visuals alone made my mouth water haha. The abalone porridge, packed with fresh abalone, had a rich intestine sauce, and the moment I took a bite, savoriness spread through my whole mouth.

The tender bossam and the spicy-sweet dishes were all seasoned just right overall, so it was perfect for pairing with a drink.

After eating, I totally understood why people say this is the Samcheok SOL Beach restaurant you have to visit when you're in the area. The lunch omakase course at this Samcheok restaurant, where you can taste seafood dishes with standout freshness, was satisfying enough that it would be more than fitting for bringing your parents or going on a date.

Jjimdak with glass noodles: the best dish to drink with

Thanks to the generous, fresh seasonal dishes in this Samcheok restaurant's lunch omakase course, this trip's memories turned out even sweeter haha. The jjimdak was seasoned just right too and was perfect as a drinking snack. Especially the glass noodles!!

The last course: abalone rice with geu-u (abalone innards) sauce

In particular, the combination of abalone rice piled with fresh abalone and rich soy crab sauce was seriously amazing! I dipped a tender slice of abalone into the savory abalone intestine sauce (soy crab sauce), and it had zero fishy taste — just a rich, savory flavor that spread through my whole mouth ㅠㅠ I finished off the final course at this Samcheok SOL Beach restaurant, where you can really feel the combination of fresh seafood and an ocean view, perfectly.

That's it for my review of a successful lunch at this Samcheok SOL Beach restaurant, where the lunch omakase in Samcheok lets you experience the full charm of varied seasonal dishes and always leaves you feeling good, whenever you come.
