Cafés, restaurants and places in Sokcho, Gangwon, written by bloggers who went there.
Yes Susan is a seafood takeout shop in Sokcho Central Market, where I picked a lunchbox with two red snow crabs and added two crab-shell fried rice portions. The crab was meaty and pickup was quick on a weekday, but I found the crab less sweet than expected and the fried rice lacking richness.
Sinhaeburi Hoejip is a seafood restaurant on Daepohang-gil in Sokcho, where I ordered a ₩150,000 snow crab and sashimi set for two with my mother. The thick slices of assorted raw fish, prepared snow crab, mulhoe, steamed scallops, and spicy fish stew were more than we could finish, but I was satisfied with the price.
Hwangbuja Twigim is a Korean fried-snack shop in Sokcho Central Market, Gangwon. I visited early in the morning for takeout of nurungji ojingeo sundae and giant prawn and squid fritters; even after some time, they stayed crisp without an intrusive oily smell.
Sokcho Daeilho Bangeo is a seafood takeout shop in Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, Sokcho. I picked two pre-packed assorted sashimi sets for my family to eat at our accommodation; shared with other market food, they were enough for six adults and the fish stayed pleasantly chewy.
Ichiba Ramen is a Japanese ramen restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon. At lunch, I tried the red snow crab and pollock roe cream ramen, karai ramen, and butadon with an extra egg; the two ramen bowls stood out, while the rice bowl worked well alongside them.
Jinmi Hwareo Center is a sashimi shop in the basement of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I took a small yellowtail back to my accommodation and enjoyed its thick-cut, pleasantly chewy, nutty-tasting slices; the route down to the basement may be confusing on a first visit.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant in Joyang-dong, Sokcho, where I ordered marinated red snow crab and marinated shrimp set meals. The many side dishes, grilled fish, doenjang-jjigae, and pot-cooked rice made it filling; I personally preferred the springy shrimp to the crab.
Yes Susan is a seafood shop on the first floor of Sokcho Jungang Market’s Tourist Fisheries Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I took red snow crab lunchboxes and crab-innards fried rice back to my accommodation; the pre-cut crab made a relaxed dinner for three, though I had not expected much from takeout.
Hwangbuja Twigim is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho’s Central Market, where I picked up two kinds of squid sundae to eat with my family at home. The regular version was soft and mild, while the nurungji version stayed crisp and nutty even after cooling slightly.
Sokcho Daeilho Bangeo is a sashimi takeout shop in Sokcho Central Market, Gangwon. I took an assorted sashimi platter back to my accommodation and liked the distinct flavors and chewy textures, though the uni I considered buying sold out.
Ichiba Ramen is a ramen restaurant on Jungang-ro in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I tried Special Tonkotsu Ramen and Red Crab Meat Mentaiko Cream Ramen during my trip. I preferred the rich, savory tonkotsu broth slightly more, though the cream ramen offered a distinct salty mentaiko flavor and subtle crab aroma.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean seafood and cypress-steamed-food restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon. I had a soy-marinated red crab set meal and a soy-marinated shrimp set meal for breakfast, with stone-pot rice and many side dishes. The red crab was sweet and savory rather than overly salty, and the spacious seating made it feel suitable for a family meal.
