For dinner after a look at the sea, the 2-person set (39,000 won) came with a choice of perilla oil makguksu and spicy sundubu jang kalguksu, and adding the local traditional liquor Donghae Bambada brought the bill to 52,500 won. The perilla oil buckwheat makguksu was such a good match that it alone is worth another trip to Gangneung. ## Good to know - **Type**: Korean – makguksu / sundubu - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–20:30 (break time; last order 20:00) - **Address**: 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, floors 1–3, Gangneung, Gangwon - **Set for two**: 39,000 won - **Surcharge for noodle choice**: Perilla oil makguksu +1,000 won, spicy sundubu kalguksu +2,000 won - **Total paid**: 52,500 won - **À la carte prices**: Perilla oil makguksu 11,000 won, cold-broth makguksu 10,000 won, pine nut sundubu 13,000 won - **Side dishes**: Kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), baek-kimchi (white kimchi), yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) - **Price reference**: ₩39,000 ≈ $28 · ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 · ₩2,000 ≈ $1.4 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* I went on a trip to Gangneung.

The main branch of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu takes up the 1st to 3rd floors of a building at 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil in Gangneung, specializing in makguksu and sundubu. It's the sundubu spot Gangneung locals recommend — Gossi's Donghae Makguksu. ![Building exterior and large sign of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-04-6w9i9-966.webp) ![Brightly lit entrance of Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-05-190cn-966.webp) The building's sign is big and bright, so I found it easily from a distance. ## Menu and prices: how much is the set for two? The 2-person set at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu is ₩39,000, and choosing perilla oil makguksu adds ₩1,000 while spicy sundubu kalguksu adds ₩2,000. With the rice wine on top, my total order came to ₩52,500. There were so many options from mains to sides that I ended up just going with the set. ![Main dish menu board at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-06-1kztm-966.webp) ![Price list for makguksu and sundubu dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-07-1cyre-966.webp) ![Menu board listing buckwheat gimbap varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-08-1jr4v-966.webp) ![Menu sign explaining the 2-person set composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-09-z24on-966.webp) ![Menu board with side dish information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-10-1boc6-966.webp) ![Guide for choosing dishes within the set menu at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-11-xpki3-966.webp) > 2-person set ₩39,000 > Main choice 1: Perilla oil makguksu (+₩1,000) > Main choice 2: Spicy sundubu kalguksu (+₩2,000) > Total order came to ₩52,500. Checking the menu separately, the à la carte perilla oil makguksu was ₩11,000. Water makguksu was ₩10,000 and pine nut sundubu was ₩13,000. There was also quite a variety of buckwheat gimbap (seaweed rice roll) types. ## Inside Gossi's and the side dishes on the table Every table at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu is neatly lined with white vinyl sheeting. It felt hygienic, so I could eat with peace of mind. ![Restaurant table lined with white vinyl sheeting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-12-tf1k5-966.webp) The basic side dishes are kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), baek-kimchi (white kimchi), and yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi). When I poured the broth from the kettle into a cup, warm steam rose up. ![Basic side dishes and kettle of broth on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-13-8ufr5-966.webp) I also ordered a bottle of the local rice wine, Donghae Bambada. ## Kkamak-jang boiled pork included in the set You have to have boiled pork with makguksu, right? The 2-person set at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu comes with kkamak-jang suyuk (boiled pork with black bean-soy sauce). The meat wasn't tough at all — soft and tender, pairing really well with the makguksu. No gamey smell whatsoever, and it chewed smoothly. ## How does the perilla oil makguksu taste? The perilla oil makguksu at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu, a spot locals in Gangneung recommend, impressed me visually the moment it arrived. The noodles were piled high with fragrant roasted seaweed flakes and sesame seeds. ![Perilla oil makguksu topped with roasted seaweed flakes and sesame seeds](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-14-2tutf-966.webp) There was even a red sprout garnish on top as an accent, making it look neat and tidy. I grabbed a big bunch of noodles with my chopsticks and took a full mouthful. ![Chopsticks lifting a bunch of perilla oil makguksu noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-15-awxi1-966.webp) Everything I ordered came out together at once, which made it easy to get a full shot. ![Full spread of the 2-person set laid out on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-16-1tk6a-966.webp) The buckwheat's distinctive light texture spread with the fragrant scent of perilla oil. I wrapped a slice of the boiled pork from the set with some dried radish and ate it. ## Bulgogi buckwheat gimbap (seaweed rice roll) The bulgogi buckwheat gimbap at Gossi's Donghae Makguksu uses buckwheat noodles aged in a black vinegar sauce instead of rice. The gimbap was packed tightly and generously. ![Bulgogi buckwheat gimbap packed with filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-17-fgren-966.webp) Taking a big bite, the texture was firm but my stomach didn't feel heavy at all afterward. It seems like it would work well as a diet-friendly meal. ![Cross-section of gimbap made with buckwheat noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-18-14h1h-966.webp) It's unique in that buckwheat noodles aged in black vinegar sauce are used instead of rice. ## Spicy sundubu jang kalguksu at Gossi's The spicy sundubu jang kalguksu has a reddish, deep-colored broth right from the start. ![Spicy sundubu jang kalguksu with a deep red broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-19-15qd2-966.webp) ![Spicy sundubu kalguksu topped with seaweed flakes and chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-20-13l6v-966.webp) It's topped generously with roasted seaweed flakes, chives, and minced garnish. Taking a spoonful of the broth, it was spicy yet deep in flavor. ![Broth showing soft, fluffy sundubu pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-21-6469y-966.webp) It was packed with soft, fluffy sundubu (soft tofu) that was really savory. The broth soaked well into the kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) noodles, so I kept slurping it up. ![Kalguksu noodles soaked in the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-22-rxf9t-966.webp) ![A chopstick-full of kalguksu noodles lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-23-5wiaq-966.webp) It was carefully poured into a clear glass, and we lightly clinked glasses for a toast. ![Glass poured with the local rice wine Donghae Bambada beside the table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set-24-163l4-966.webp) ## Is the set for two worth it at Gossi's? Each dish in the set felt well put together, and the meal came across as made with care. Going with the set instead of ordering à la carte let us try a much wider variety. The perilla oil buckwheat makguksu especially... was just so, so much my style that I'd come back to Gangneung for it alone. If you're looking for a good meal while traveling in Gangneung, it's worth a visit. I left the meal feeling happy and satisfyingly full. It's genuinely a spot locals in Gangneung recommend!! ## Where it is - Gossi's Donghae Makguksu & Sundubu Kalguksu Main Branch (강릉 고씨네동해막국수&순두부칼국수 본점) - 25 Changhae-ro 350beon-gil, 1st–3rd floor, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do, 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/@sauce-dish-seoul/gangneung-goshine-donghae-makguksu-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
