## In short

Yetgoeul Sundubu is a Korean restaurant in Haksapyeong Sundubu Village in Sokcho, where the tofu is made fresh every morning from domestic soybeans and East Sea deep-sea water. Three generations of one family sat down to tricolor tofu hotpot colored with beet and green tea juice, squid sundae (squid stuffed with noodles and vegetables) and pot rice, with about 8 side dishes that can be refilled yourself. Yetgoeul Sundubu is an easy choice in Sokcho when older parents and grandparents are eating with you.

📍100% would come back to this Sokcho tofu restaurant📍 Last week my husband and I went to Sokcho since my mother-in-law was moving there, and we helped out with the move.

Since we ended up having dinner that day with my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law too, I looked for somewhere comfortable for the elders to eat. My husband suggested Yetgoeul Sundubu, a place he'd been to before when just the two of us came to Sokcho. We'd already had jjamppong sundubu (spicy seafood tofu stew) and chodang sundubu here before, so the taste was already guaranteed haha. This time we came back with the whole family.

## What kind of place is Yetgoeul Sundubu? A tofu house in Haksapyeong Sundubu Village

Yetgoeul Sundubu is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho's Haksapyeong Sundubu Village (soft tofu village). It's been featured on TV so a lot of people probably already know it, but one reason I wanted to come back was that they make tofu fresh every single morning.

They said they use 100% domestic soybeans and East Sea deep-sea water to make the tofu. I'm kind of picky about tofu because my parents ran a tofu factory in Uljin when I was a kid, and tofu made well with seawater is genuinely delicious...! I still can't forget the taste of the tofu from our factory, ㅠㅠ.

*He showed up looking exactly like his photo...!*

What stood out most was that the owner personally explained the food and even brought over the hotpot himself — his distinctive beard made him memorable haha. Listening to him explain the handmade tofu while eating gave me even more trust in the food.

## Tricolor tofu hotpot: tofu colored with beet and green tea juice

This time we ordered Yetgoeul Sundubu's tricolor tofu hotpot. Last time when it was just the two of us we had a sundubu dish, but this time with several people we went for the hotpot.

![Hotpot with colorful tricolor tofu inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner-14-i6hwf-900.webp)

There was colorful tofu inside the hotpot, so it looked different from a regular sundubu hotpot right from the start. This tricolor tofu is colored using beet and green tea juice, apparently. It's not just pretty — the tofu itself was soft and light, which paired well with the hotpot broth. Eating with family especially made this kind of hotpot menu more convenient since we could share various ingredients. If you're looking for Sokcho sundubu and want something a little special, this tricolor tofu hotpot is a good option.

## Squid sundae and 8 side dishes — is the squid fishy?

Along with the hotpot we also ordered Yetgoeul Sundubu's squid sundae (squid stuffed with rice and vegetables). Honestly, I was a bit worried about the distinctive fishy taste squid sundae can have.

![A plate of squid sundae at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner-16-1givc-900.webp)

![Sliced squid sundae served on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner-17-1stfk-900.webp)

But there was barely any smell and the filling was soft, so after one bite I kept reaching for more.

![Side dishes served alongside squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner-18-102kh-m-900.webp)

Several basic side dishes came out too, about 8 kinds, and every single one suited my taste. When the side dishes are just as good as the main dish, it really raises satisfaction when eating with family.

*Side dishes can be refilled yourself anytime!*

## Ending the meal with pot rice and crispy scorched rice

Instead of plain rice, we ordered pot rice.

![Pot rice at Yetgoeul Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner/sokcho-haksapyeong-tofu-hotpot-family-dinner-20-1ki4z-900.webp)

Eating rice with the hotpot broth was hearty and filling, and finishing with the scorched rice left in the pot at the end wrapped up the meal nicely. Especially in a gathering with several generations, warm and hearty food like this seems to suit the occasion better than something spicy or strong-flavored. Last time when my husband and I came alone we had jjamppong sundubu and chodang sundubu, but this time with family we had tricolor tofu hotpot and squid sundae — even at the same place, the feeling was different depending on who you're with and what you order.

## Ulsanbawi Rock views and the cafe upstairs after dinner

Walking out after the meal, I could see Ulsanbawi Rock in the distance, which really made it feel like Sokcho. Right above Yetgoeul Sundubu is Café Neorae, which I'd visited before — it's a spot where you can look out at Seoraksan and Ulsanbawi, so it was nice to have a coffee there and enjoy the view after eating. If you're looking for a place to eat in Sokcho and want to explore the surroundings too, a plan of eating in Haksapyeong Sundubu Village and then taking in the Ulsanbawi view could work well. This time I came back with family, but next time I visit Sokcho I'd love to try yet another sundubu menu.

If you're looking for a good Sokcho sundubu restaurant to enjoy with family during a Sokcho trip, which menu would you pick?
