I visited around weekday lunchtime, and by the time I finished eating and looked around, the place was almost completely full! Seems like it's popular with locals, and there were quite a few foreign tourists as well. ![Muchae and yeolmu kimchi standard side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-15-s1q9e-900.webp) ## Side dishes and the microwave reserved for baby food The standard side dishes are muchae (radish salad) and yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi) :) ![Self-serve side dish counter and baby food microwave](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-16-1yhp0-900.webp) You can help yourself to extra side dishes at a self-serve station. Oh, and here's what makes this Sokcho restaurant "Sokcho Topgol Makguksu Main Branch" special — there's a microwave set aside just for baby food! For anyone visiting with a baby, that must feel like a ray of light, don't you think? ![A bowl of Sokcho Topgol Makguksu's deulmemak](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-17-tulom-900.webp) ## Deulmemak: nuttier with an extra drizzle of perilla oil — the signature dish of this dog-friendly Sokcho restaurant, "Sokcho Topgol Makguksu Main Branch"! It's tasty just as it comes, but adding a bit more of the perilla oil left on the table makes it even nuttier and more delicious. If you think it's a little bland, just ask for a bit more soy sauce! As the signature dish, it really was excellent. ![Thick buckwheat perilla kalguksu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-18-uurub-900.webp) ### Buckwheat perilla kalguksu, Dad's top pick — Dad's top pick! The hot, thick broth was outstanding. It's packed with so much perilla that it was incredibly good — nutty, and then nutty again. Perfect for this slightly chillier weather we're getting these days! I think I'll order this again on my next visit. ![Buckwheat makguksu mixed with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-19-10gyn-900.webp) ![Buckwheat makguksu with mustard and vinegar added](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-20-13gbq-900.webp) ### Buckwheat makguksu with extra mustard and vinegar — the dish I ordered, since I'm completely a bibim naengmyeon person :) Adding the mustard and vinegar set on the table made it just right. The sauce flavor was on point too, and the noodles hadn't gone soft at all! And maybe because it's buckwheat noodles, my stomach didn't feel heavy afterward either! ![Potato pancake larger than the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-21-4d8vf-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the soft-textured potato pancake](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit/sokcho-tapgol-makguksu-dulmemak-visit-22-5fuyr-900.webp) ### Potato pancake bigger than the plate, soft inside — bigger than the plate itself! I'm not a fan of super crispy, deep-fried textures, but this potato pancake was exactly my style. Soft yet chewy — just right! Definitely order this as a side :) A good, budget-friendly, delicious day trip to Sokcho at the dog-friendly Sokcho restaurant "Sokcho Topgol Makguksu Main Branch."
