## In short

Yetgoeul Sundubu is a Korean restaurant in the Haksapyeong area of Sokcho that makes its own sundubu (soft tofu) and firm tofu on site. The order here was chodang sundubu, served with tofu among the basic side dishes, and the meal tasted mild and clean rather than spicy or heavy. Yetgoeul Sundubu also keeps a separate room for guests dining with dogs, so it works for a Sokcho trip with a pet.

If you're in Sokcho, you have to eat sundubu (soft tofu) at least once, haha!! On this Sokcho trip I went to Yetgoeul Sundubu. Whenever I visit Gangwon-do I end up looking for a good sundubu spot, and this time I picked this place because they make both the sundubu and the tofu themselves, not just the soup.

What I ordered was chodang sundubu! I like mild, soft sundubu, so instead of the spicy version this time I went for the clean, plain chodang sundubu. Let's get into the review~

## Where is Yetgoeul Sundubu, and is the tofu made in house?

Yetgoeul Sundubu is a sundubu specialty restaurant at 114 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, and it's a place that makes its own sundubu and tofu. If you've been looking for a good sundubu spot in Sokcho, you may have already heard of it. Personally, the fact that they make the tofu themselves was a big plus for me.

When you come to eat sundubu, it's a lot more reassuring when you actually know where and how it's made, instead of having no idea. Right by the entrance there was a sign confirming that the tofu is made in house. There's a bit of a travel rule that says you have to eat sundubu when you're in Sokcho lol, so this time I went in determined to have a proper Sokcho sundubu meal.

## Inside Yetgoeul Sundubu: dining room and seating

The Yetgoeul Sundubu dining room was bigger than I expected, with tables spaced out comfortably. It looked like a fine spot to come with family, too.

One thing I noticed in particular — there's a separate private room set up just for dining with dogs!

If you're traveling around Sokcho with your dog, this is worth keeping in mind. It was nice that the pet-friendly space isn't mixed in with regular seating but set apart in its own room. And once I sat down at the table, the tableware was also neatly set. Honestly, that kind of detail matters more than you'd think when you're eating out while traveling.

## Basic side dishes, including a plate of tofu

Yetgoeul Sundubu has quite a few different banchan (side dishes), so even ordering just one bowl of sundubu felt like a full spread. After a short wait, the side dishes started coming out one by one.

There were pickled vegetables and a variety of other side dishes, and overall they were mild rather than punchy — the kind that go well with rice.

And being a tofu place, of course tofu came out too. Well, at a tofu restaurant you have to start with the tofu, right, haha. I dipped it lightly in soy sauce and tried it — the tofu itself was clean-tasting and nutty, good enough to eat plain. Being house-made, it definitely had a noticeably soft texture.

## How did the chodang sundubu taste?

The chodang sundubu I ordered at Yetgoeul Sundubu came in a clean, mild broth with no harsh seasoning, packed full of soft, cloud-like sundubu. Since I was in Sokcho, I wanted to taste the sundubu itself this time rather than the spicy jjamppong sundubu.

Doesn't it just look soft? I tried the broth first with a spoonful — it was mild and clean rather than punchy. And the sundubu itself was truly soft! Scoop it up lightly with a spoon and it slides down all cloud-like — that's the charm of sundubu, haha.

If you usually eat heavily seasoned dishes like sundubu-jjigae, this mild chodang sundubu is worth trying at least once. It was nice being able to taste the nutty flavor of the tofu itself. Add a bit of side dish, a spoonful of sundubu, a spoonful of rice, lol — eating like that, the whole meal disappeared fast. Especially when you keep eating meat or spicy food while traveling, having this kind of mild Sokcho sundubu meal felt good and easy on the stomach.

## House-made sundubu and firm tofu at Yetgoeul Sundubu

One of the biggest reasons I picked Yetgoeul Sundubu is exactly this — it's a place that makes its sundubu and tofu itself.

When I'm looking for a good sundubu spot, this is something I personally care about. Knowing it's made in house made me trust the place more.

Even just eaten as a plain side dish, the tofu had a nutty, soft flavor that was really good. The chodang sundubu had that same cloud-soft texture, so it should suit anyone who likes mild dishes.

## A Sokcho sundubu restaurant you can visit with a dog

Yetgoeul Sundubu has a separate private room set up for dining with dogs.

As I mentioned earlier, it's not always easy to find restaurants like this if you're planning a Sokcho trip with your dog, so having a dedicated space where pets are welcome is worth noting. If you're traveling around Sokcho and looking for somewhere to eat with your dog, it's a good idea to check ahead whether the space is available and open before you visit.

## Worth a stop if you want sundubu in Sokcho

I went into this visit to Yetgoeul Sundubu with high expectations since they make both the sundubu and tofu themselves. The chodang sundubu I ordered was mild rather than spicy, so it made for a good, easy meal. Above all, the sundubu was soft and cloud-like, so if you're like me and enjoy mild sundubu, you'll probably like it here.

And whether you're visiting with family or traveling with a dog, it's worth keeping in mind that there's a separate private pet-friendly room. If you're traveling around Sokcho and thinking, 'I should eat sundubu today!' — give Yetgoeul Sundubu a try and taste their house-made tofu and sundubu :)
