Cafés, restaurants and places in Gangwon, written by bloggers who went there.
Yeoyejeong is a charcoal-grilled meat restaurant in Seo-myeon, Yangyang, Gangwon. During my Yangyang trip, I had tender marinated ribs that were not overly sweet and refreshing baekkimchi noodles; the neat side dishes and large free parking lot were also satisfying.
Ichiba Ramen is a ramen restaurant near Yeonggeumjeong in Sokcho, Gangwon. While traveling, I tried tonkotsu, karai, and miso ramen with karaage; the broths were distinct and the portions filling, though ordering and pickup were self-service.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant between Sokcho Beach and Cheongcho Lake in Sokcho, Gangwon. On a family trip, I picked up red snow crab and soy-marinated shrimp set meals to eat at our accommodation; both were filling and not overly salty to my taste.
Yes Susan is a red snow crab and king crab takeout shop on the first floor of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market in Sokcho. I picked up a red snow crab lunchbox and flying-fish-roe fried rice to eat with my baby at our accommodation; the prepared crab was easy to pick, and the meal felt filling with the fried rice.
Cafe Dunchi is a floating café on the Namdaecheon River in Yangyang, Gangwon. After drinks with a friend, I spent 30 minutes on a large electric boat with Bluetooth music; driving was initially a little scary but became fun, though the café restroom requires a walk to the parking area.
Baegya Coffee is a large bakery café directly across from Sacheonjin Beach in Gangneung, where I had coffee and bread while looking out at the sea. The open view and terrace were memorable, though many breads were sold out and window seats were full when I arrived late on a weekend.
Hwangbuja Twigim is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho Central Market where I packed half-and-half sundae and seed shrimp gangjeong to eat at my accommodation. The Abai sundae was generously filled and tender, while the crispy-bottomed squid sundae was distinctive; the neat packaging was good, but I regretted not trying it while warm.
Yeoyejeong is a charcoal barbecue restaurant in a quiet village lane in Seomyeon, Yangyang. I grilled samgyeopsal and marinated galbi, then finished with doenjang-jjigae; the crisp, savory pork belly was the standout. It was busy with families and had high chairs, large group seating, and front-yard parking.
Ichiba Ramen is a Japanese ramen restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon, where my spouse and I ordered special tonkotsu ramen, regular tonkotsu ramen, and mini butadon. The rich broth and generous meat toppings stood out, while the butadon paired a subtle smoky flavor with a savory sauce.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant on Seonsa-ro 2-gil in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ate marinated red snow crab and shrimp set meals with my 34-month-old child. The adults ate the seafood, while my child ate the grilled fish, bulgogi, and other side dishes; the crab was not too salty for my taste, and the roomy seating and high chair made the meal easier.
Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market Large Parking Lot is a seafood shop in Sokcho’s tourist and fishery market. I picked up a ₩25,000 two-red-snow-crab lunchbox and a flying-fish-roe marinated-crab fried-rice set to share with other market foods; the prepared crab was convenient, though our bag had no utensils or disposable gloves.
Cafe Dunchi is a floating café on Namdaecheon Stream in Yangyang, Gangwon, where I had coffee and rode an electric boat with my 18-month-old during a family trip. The boat was easy to operate even on a cloudy day, and the spacious parking lot, baby life jacket, and blankets made the visit comfortable.
