If you come to Gangneung, you simply have to eat while looking at the sea! So we deliberately chose an ocean-view spot with good food and a good view. The view was so lovely that it felt genuinely restorative. This is Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch, right in front of Gangmun Beach. Its location is almost unfairly good—it is truly right in front of the beach. It is such a great place to stop by while sightseeing at the beach and having a meal. You can park in the public lot directly in front of the sea. If it is full, there is alternative parking, so you can visit without worrying about parking. We parked in the public lot right in front of the restaurant ⋰˚★ ![Area near the public parking lot in front of Gangmun Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-02-um7w9-966.webp) ### Opening hours and a popular atmosphere It is open 10:00–20:30 on weekdays and 08:00–20:30 on weekends. Break time is 15:30–17:00, and last orders are at 20:00. Be sure to avoid the break time, and note that it opens early on weekends. It is quite a popular place, and so many celebrities have visited too. That made me really excited even before eating 🥹 And honestly, both the view and the food were as good as I had hoped. ![Ocean-view seating at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-03-150vw-966.webp) The ocean view was truly so beautiful—it was breathtaking. The two-person seats even face the windows, so you can eat while looking at the sea; that would be so lovely. Seeing the ocean while enjoying a delicious lunch was wonderful. ![Restaurant seating facing the sea](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-04-14gc1-966.webp) There are plenty of high chairs, making this an easy place to visit with a baby. We came as a family with a baby too, and it was nice to be able to eat comfortably without feeling self-conscious. ![Restaurant interior with high chairs available](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-05-1lptx-966.webp) ![Restaurant seating suitable for family meals](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-06-1s01j-966.webp) ![Gossi's Donghae Makguksu menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-07-1izcw-966.webp) ![Ordered makguksu and roll cutlet dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-08-17lhr-966.webp) ## The makguksu and roll cutlet we ordered as a family - Water makguksu (buckwheat noodles in chilled broth) ₩10,000 - Perilla oil makguksu ₩11,000 - Spicy mixed makguksu ₩12,000 - Buckwheat cheese roll cutlet ₩15,000 We ordered three makguksu dishes and the buckwheat cheese roll cutlet, which is easy for children to eat too. For a tourist-area restaurant, the prices felt very reasonable and not burdensome, which I liked. > Gossi's Donghae Makguksu—so, how did it taste?! ![Side dishes served with makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-09-a8zfh-966.webp) The basic side dishes come out like this. The yeolmu kimchi (young-radish kimchi), kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), and more were so good alongside the makguksu, so I was pleased. ![Full spread of ordered makguksu and roll cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-10-1yugn-966.webp) Our order arrived quickly and looked delicious! Such an incredible spread—I was excited before even taking a bite! This was what we ordered for three adults, and it made for a truly filling, satisfying meal. ![Meal ordered for three adults](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-11-t4whn-966.webp) ## Deeply nutty perilla oil makguksu Perilla oil makguksu is something I always end up ordering whenever I go to a makguksu restaurant! The moment the bowl landed on the table, the rich aroma of perilla oil was seriously overwhelming. If you love that distinctive nutty flavor, this is absolutely worth ordering. ![A bowl of perilla oil makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-12-1a6cj-966.webp) The buckwheat noodles were generously topped with shredded seaweed and perilla seed powder. I mixed it up with my chopsticks and wow, it was next-level nutty—I loved it. The more I chewed, the more the natural buckwheat flavor came through, beautifully paired with the nuttiness of the perilla oil. So good! ![Buckwheat noodles topped with shredded seaweed and perilla seed powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-13-150wh-966.webp) ## Chilled water makguksu after a drive The clear, transparent broth with tiny shards of ice floating in it looked delicious the moment I saw it, so I was excited! The coolness, a subtle meaty aroma, and the refreshing tang of dongchimi (radish water kimchi) felt like they cleansed my palate. ![Water makguksu broth with tiny shards of ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-14-1le9d-966.webp) ![Water makguksu in clear broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-15-zha2n-966.webp) The broth was not overly intense, yet it had a nicely balanced sweet-and-tangy taste. It was deeper and more savory than I expected, so I personally enjoyed it as such a refreshing bowl. ![Water makguksu served with yeolmu kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-16-1clne-966.webp) Maybe because the noodles are buckwheat, they had such a wholesome taste—I loved that! The makguksu was delicious on its own and packed with savory flavor, but it was even cooler and tastier with yeolmu kimchi. After driving for a long time, my stomach felt a bit stuffy, and this refreshing water makguksu made me happy 🥹 ![Refreshing buckwheat water makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-17-1yyye-966.webp) ## Buckwheat cheese roll cutlet kids will enjoy too I was wondering what side dish to order with makguksu besides boiled pork, and I am so glad I chose this. It is a really great menu item for kids too. ![Buckwheat cheese roll cutlet side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-18-1hoeb-966.webp) ![Crispy buckwheat cheese roll cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-19-1815r-966.webp) Inside the thin, crisply fried coating was plenty of tender pork and mozzarella cheese! The moment I cut it with scissors, the cheese poured out like a waterfall. It looked seriously delicious. After all, cheese cutlet is always love. Even though it was fried, it was not greasy at all—just wonderfully crisp, nutty, and flavorful! The mild pork and the savory, chewy cheese were such a perfect combination 🥹 It was great because it completely won over not only adults but children too. ![Cheese roll cutlet with tonkatsu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-20-woxax-966.webp) It is even more delicious dipped in tonkatsu sauce. It worked so well as a side dish, and I enjoyed it a lot. Personally, I thought it was as good as a main dish, so I was really glad we ordered it. ![A bowl of spicy mixed makguksu with fermented pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-21-14s1z-966.webp) ![Spicy mixed makguksu with special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-22-sg6a9-966.webp) ## Spicy mixed makguksu loaded with fermented pollock This spicy mixed makguksu comes loaded with a special sauce aged for a long time and muchim (seasoned salad) of fermented pollock! Since I love fermented pollock, that generous topping alone was a huge plus for me :) ![Spicy mixed makguksu topped with seasoned fermented pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-23-1788x-966.webp) What I liked about this spicy mixed makguksu was its naturally sweet base and its pleasantly spicy flavor—delicious without being heavy or dull. It was not overly sweet, just gently sweet and delicious, exactly my taste 〰️ ![Sweet-and-tangy spicy mixed makguksu with fermented pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles-24-1n5jv-966.webp) The sweet, tangy, pleasantly spicy savoriness was so good, and the bites of seasoned fermented pollock throughout were the best. If you like spicy mixed makguksu, I think you will enjoy this without any polarizing flavors. If you are looking for somewhere with both great food and a great view, I recommend Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch (강릉 고씨네동해막국수&순두부칼국수 본점). It is right beside Gangmun Beach, so access is really convenient, and being able to eat with an ocean view is a real advantage. It felt like such a healing meal after a long time, and I loved it. ## Where it is - Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch (강릉 고씨네동해막국수&순두부칼국수 본점) - 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon State, South Korea - 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/@pause-for-coffee/gangneung-oceanview-perilla-noodles/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
