I took its nurungji squid sundae and king prawn fritters back to my accommodation for beer snacks; the prawns were plump, while the squid sundae paired tender squid with a crisp exterior. ## Good to know - **Location**: Gangwon State, Sokcho-si, Jungang-ro 147beon-gil 16, Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, stalls 26 and 27 - **King prawn fritters**: ₩10,000 - **Nurungji squid sundae**: ₩15,000 - **Parking**: At the time of my visit, the public parking lot across from the market cost ₩900 per hour; a parking voucher was provided for purchases of ₩15,000 or more. - **Dining in**: There are seats inside, and I was told outside food is allowed. - **Takeout**: Soy sauce and chopsticks are provided, and squid sundae can also be packed frozen. *as written by the visitor on Sep 2, 2026* When I travel to Sokcho, I tend to pack up market food to enjoy as beer snacks at my accommodation.

Hwangbuja Twigim is in the middle of the squid sundae alley inside Sokcho Central Market. Its registered location is stalls 26 and 27 at Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. The shop is fairly large, so it was not difficult to find, and I saw plenty of people waiting in line when I visited. ![Hwangbuja Twigim inside Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-02-15cac-900.webp) ![Surroundings near Hwangbuja Twigim at Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-03-t2s2l-900.webp) I was able to use the public parking lot across from the market. At the time of my visit, parking was ₩900 for one hour, and a parking voucher was available with purchases of ₩15,000 or more. ## Can you eat in as well as order takeout? There were seats inside where you could sit down and eat. It looked like a decent spot to have freshly fried fritters or grilled squid sundae right away. ![Hwangbuja Twigim interior with seats for dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-04-lcrh4-900.webp) ![Dining area at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-05-1m145-900.webp) I was also told that outside food is allowed, so you can buy tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) or eomuk (fish cake) and eat it together. Since I planned to eat at my accommodation, I chose takeout. ## What can you order, and how much does it cost? The menu board out front had single items as well as sets with every item or half-and-half selections. The sundae options included Abai sundae, squid sundae, and nurungji squid sundae. ![Hwangbuja Twigim menu viewed while choosing takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-06-i3uey-900.webp) ![Menu information outside Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-07-l1bcq-900.webp) ![Various menu choices at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-08-158jf-900.webp) There was a wide range of fritters, including king prawn, squid, peeled shrimp, king crab meat, baby crab, and assorted fritters. The king prawn fritters caught my attention because the prawns were plump and large. ![Hwangbuja Twigim fried menu including king prawn fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-09-1cg0s-900.webp) ![Large, plump king prawn fritters](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-10-1br4o-900.webp) The king prawn fritters I packed were ₩10,000, and the nurungji squid sundae was ₩15,000. ## How is the squid sundae prepared and packed? I could see squid sundae being browned on a grill at one side of the shop. They also said it could be packed frozen, which seemed like an option for taking some home before heading back. ![Squid sundae browning at one side of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-11-qqjip-966.webp) They were also making nurungji (scorched rice) at one side. Watching it crisp up made me curious about its texture with the squid sundae. ![Nurungji prepared fresh at Hwangbuja Twigim](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-12-1f5ge-863.webp) We packed it to have as drinks snacks at our accommodation. They included soy sauce and chopsticks, which made it easy to eat there. ![Hwangbuja Twigim food packed for my accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-13-1tn1m-900.webp) ![Packed king prawn fritters and nurungji squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-14-yqc20-900.webp) ## How were the king prawn fritters and nurungji squid sundae? I tried a few of the king prawn fritters in the car while we were on the way. They were freshly fried and crisp, with a generous filling in every bite. The plump prawns also had a nice chew. ![King prawn fritters tasted while traveling after takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-15-w5qly-900.webp) ![King prawn fritters with crisp batter and plump prawns](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-16-vbtac-900.webp) ![King prawn fritters with a full, chewy filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-17-1v8qx-900.webp) The nurungji squid sundae had sections pressed and browned on the grill, giving its outside a crisp texture. I could taste tender squid and crunchy nurungji together, and it worked well with makgeolli (Korean rice wine) as well as beer. ![Nurungji squid sundae pressed and browned outside](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-18-9iea0-900.webp) ## Where it is - Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) (황부자튀김) - 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 26, 27호) - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 26, 27호 - 38.2047987, 128.5898956 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%A9%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%90%ED%8A%80%EA%B9%80/@38.2047987,128.5898956,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@restaurant-guestbook-2/hwangbuja-sokcho-market-takeout-4f36/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
