Visiting with a young baby, the writer ordered the Chodang Myeongpum table (sundubu hot pot + tofu samhap + seasoned braised pollock), available for 2 or more people, with the white sundubu, set aside the baby's portion first, and then stirred in the separately served seasoning sauce for the adults. No separate kids' dish was needed at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu — the whole family ate the same meal together. ## Good to know - **Location**: 200 Nanseolheon-ro, Chodang-dong, Gangneung, Gangwon (near the Heo Gyun and Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park) - **Parking**: Dedicated lot on site; if full, the free Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park lot is about a 3-minute walk away - **Signature dish**: Chodang Myeongpum table (orders for 2 or more) — sundubu hot pot + tofu samhap (boiled pork with tofu) + seasoned braised pollock - **Sundubu choice**: Choose red or white sundubu; seasoning sauce served on the side - **With a baby**: Baby chairs available, with a burner built into the center of every table *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* Whenever you travel to Gangneung, you end up eating sundubu (soft tofu stew) — it's basically a rule haha. This time we were looking for a place we could eat with our baby, and ended up at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu. ## Where is Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu, and where do you park? Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu is in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, near the Heo Gyun and Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park. ![Exterior of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu in Chodang-dong, Gangneung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-01-1f33z-900.webp) ![Entrance and dedicated parking lot of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-02-9ejyg-900.webp) The restaurant has its own parking lot, which was convenient for us since we drive with the baby. If the lot is full, you can use the free parking at the Heo Nanseolheon Memorial Park about a 3-minute walk away. ## Inside the restaurant: baby chairs and table burners ![Clean interior of Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-03-2qvod-900.webp) ![Table with a built-in burner at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-04-masld-900.webp) Overall the place had a clean, comfortable atmosphere. Every table has a burner in the middle, so we could keep the sundubu jjigae simmering as we ate. ![Baby chair prepared at the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-05-g19oi-900.webp) Most importantly for us — we came with a baby — a baby chair was ready, so we could eat comfortably. ![TV appearance photos and information on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-06-1g957-900.webp) As you'd expect from a well-known sundubu restaurant, there were signs all over the place of past TV appearances. Seeing the photos and write-ups made it clear this is a spot that's had loyal customers for a long time, and my trust level went way up before I'd even eaten haha. ## What comes with the Chodang Myeongpum table? The Chodang Myeongpum table can be ordered for 2 or more people, and comes as a set of sundubu jjigae + tofu samhap (boiled pork with tofu) + seasoned braised pollock, all at once. ![Menu information for the Chodang Myeongpum table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-07-l0npw-900.webp) ![Chodang Myeongpum table with sundubu jjigae, tofu samhap, and braised pollock](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-08-1hhcx-1200.webp) If you want to try several tofu dishes plus boiled pork and pollock rather than just plain sundubu, the Myeongpum table is a good call. Since we'd made it all the way to Gangneung, we figured we might as well try a bit of everything, so we ordered the Myeongpum table. ## Tofu samhap and seasoned braised pollock, dish by dish ![A plate of tofu samhap with tofu and boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-09-rrbli-900.webp) First, the tofu samhap! Tofu and boiled pork come out together, and the mild tofu paired with the pork was a great match, as expected. Sundubu alone can feel a bit plain, so having boiled pork in between bites made the meal more filling. ![A bite of tofu topped with boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-10-carkm-900.webp) And then the seasoned braised pollock, which only comes with the Myeongpum table! A whole plate of pollock piled with seasoning arrives. ![Seasoned braised pollock piled with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-11-1ar0v-900.webp) The sundubu is mild while the pollock has a strong seasoned flavor, so the two together made a great combination. If you feel plain sundubu alone would be a bit lacking, I'd recommend ordering the Chodang Myeongpum table. ![White sundubu jjigae simmering](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-12-15gfb-900.webp) ## Eating with a baby: order white sundubu with the sauce on the side At Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu, you can choose between red and white sundubu when ordering the jjigae. We obviously went with white sundubu since we were eating with our baby! It's not spicy, so it was easy to feed alongside the baby's rice. ![Mild white sundubu scooped into a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-13-t3xlx-900.webp) That doesn't mean it's too plain for adults, though. They give you the sauce separately, so you can scoop out the baby's portion of sundubu first, then have the adults add sauce to taste and eat it nice and spicy. ![Sundubu with the separately served sauce added](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-14-dcvio-900.webp) When you're forced to order everything mild because of the baby, mom and dad sometimes feel a little shortchanged haha, but here everyone can eat to their own taste, so we didn't even need to order a separate baby menu — it worked well for eating together. ## Is Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu worth it with a baby? If you're looking for a sundubu restaurant in Gangneung that's good to visit with a baby, I'd recommend Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu. ![Full Myeongpum table spread at Jeong Eunsuk Chodang Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew/gangneung-chodang-sundubu-baby-white-stew-15-htzlo-900.webp) Especially if you're going with a young baby like we did, I'd recommend ordering the white sundubu, scooping out the baby's portion first, and then having the adults add the sauce.
