Near Seorak Sorano, Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu served jjamppong seafood sundubu and bulgogi baekban with a banchan spread to rival a full Korean set-meal restaurant, plus complimentary acorn jelly. Nothing was heavily seasoned, so Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu is an easy choice for a meal with parents. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 07:30-20:00 (last order 19:00, may close early if ingredients run out) - **Order minimum**: Set meals require 2 or more servings; sundubu, haejangguk, bibimbap and baekban can be ordered as a single serving - **Dishes ordered**: Jjamppong seafood sundubu, bulgogi baekban - **Amenities**: Group seating, reservations, separate men's and women's restrooms, takeout, wifi, pet-friendly, parking - **Service**: Free acorn jelly when asked to leave a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Main photo of Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu in Haksapyeong, Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-01-9stzg-1200.webp) Visited Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu (진솔할머니순두부), a well-known Sokcho sundubu (soft tofu stew) spot. It's known throughout Haksapyeong sundubu village near Seorak Sorano for its long history and deep home-style flavor — here's an honest rundown of the visit. ![Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu store information signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-02-1qi56-900.webp) ## Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu hours, parking and amenities - Open daily 07:30-20:00 (last order 19:00 / may close early if ingredients run out) - Group seating, reservations, separate men's/women's restrooms, takeout, wifi, pet-friendly, parking ## Where is Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu? Haksapyeong tofu village near Seorak Sorano Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu sits in Haksapyeong Kongkkot Village near the Sokcho IC exit off the East Sea Expressway. It's a Sokcho sundubu restaurant frequently visited by guests staying at Seorak Sorano, Sono Felice, and Seorak Hot Springs. ![Exterior of Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu in Haksapyeong sundubu village](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-03-1g2zn-900.webp) ![Spacious, tidy interior of Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-04-1tw2l-m-900.webp) The restaurant is quite large and spacious, so even during peak meal times or busy weekend hours, tables turn over quickly. Fitting for a place carrying on a three-generation tradition in the Haksapyeong sundubu village, the interior was clean and well kept. ## Which dishes come as a single serving? The Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu menu Set meals require at least two servings, but sundubu, haejangguk (hangover soup), bibimbap, and baekban (rice with side dishes) can all be ordered as a single serving. Today's order was jjamppong seafood sundubu and bulgogi baekban. ## A banchan spread to rival a Korean set-meal restaurant, plus a self-serve corner Not sure if it was because we ordered the bulgogi baekban, or if the banchan (side dishes) always come out this generously, but the spread was seriously abundant. Despite being a sundubu place, the variety of banchan matched a proper hanjeongsik (Korean set-meal) restaurant — great value for the price. ![Generous spread of Korean banchan at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-05-1rim7-900.webp) ![Plates of mild, unseasoned side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-06-1syfa-900.webp) ![Close-up of Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-07-1h9sh-900.webp) ![Side dishes served alongside the sundubu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-08-pc2az-900.webp) ![Banchan spread as elaborate as a Korean set-meal restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-09-1mkil-900.webp) The banchan weren't heavily seasoned at all — they had that mild, healthy, home-cooked taste like something your mom would make, and I loved that. There's also a self-serve corner where you can grab as much extra banchan as you want. ![Self-serve corner for extra banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-10-1yscf-900.webp) Asked a staff member about the Naver receipt review offer and got free acorn jelly for it. It didn't taste like factory-made acorn jelly at all — it had that homemade feel. ![Acorn jelly received as a receipt-review perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-11-f4js3-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of the homemade-style acorn jelly](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-12-daadv-900.webp) ## Bulgogi baekban at Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu: portion and taste Even as a single-serving order, the bulgogi baekban portion was by no means small. It's served bubbling hot at the table, and it was tasty on its own or mixed together with the rice. ![Bulgogi baekban served hot and bubbling](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-13-ae2ub-900.webp) ![Jjamppong seafood sundubu made with house-made tofu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni-14-15oln-900.webp) ## Jjamppong seafood sundubu made with house-made soft tofu The jjamppong seafood sundubu is made with house-made soft tofu. Probably because the tofu is made in-house, it was noticeably nuttier and softer. Living up to its reputation as a Sokcho sundubu restaurant, the sundubu really was delicious — no wonder the name includes 'sundubu.' ## Is Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu worth a stop in Sokcho? Visited Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu, a Sokcho sundubu restaurant, and was very satisfied. It's conveniently close to Seorak Sorano, and the generous Korean banchan along with the house-made sundubu were mild and healthy rather than heavily seasoned. If you're looking for a place to eat near Seorak Sorano, I'd definitely recommend giving Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu, a well-known Sokcho sundubu spot, a try. ## Where it is - Jinsol Halmeoni Sundubu (진솔할머니순두부) - 118 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 원암학사평길 118 - 38.2062411, 128.5209698 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A7%84%EC%86%94%ED%95%A0%EB%A8%B8%EB%8B%88%EC%88%9C%EB%91%90%EB%B6%80/@38.2062411,128.5209698,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@taste-of-day/sokcho-hakhpyeong-sundubu-jinsol-halmeoni/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
