Reviews on Seafood food in Sokcho, Gangwon-do, South Korea. Sokcho (속초; (Korean pronunciation: [sok̚.tɕʰo])) is a city in Gangwon-do province, South Korea. It is located in the far northeast of Gangwon-do. Lying north of the 38th parallel, the city belonged to North Korea from 1945 until the end of the Korean War, when the dividing line between the two Korean states was officially altered. Abai Maeul was originally set up as an area to house North Korean refugees in Sokcho due to the separation of the two Koreas. Consequently, many of the population have relatives in North Korea. Today, Sokcho receives a number of tourists attracted by the closeness to the DMZ. The city is also a well-known gateway to nearby Seoraksan national park.

I've had a great experience here in 2001. This small & humble restaurant has a tasty fresh flounder sashimi with many salad & soybean paste sauce (not a chili sauce) and fresh abalone sashimi. I enjoyed it so much in 2001 so this year during my 3 weeks holiday in South Korea, I spent hours looking for this restaurant. 17 years later... sadly everything changed. They don't do abalon sashimi anymore and salad has only few kinds, But good thing about changing was I sat on a chair (not on the floor). Despite many changes, I still like this humble restaurant loved by many locals away from the tourist areas in Sok Cho. Try flounder Mul Hoi (mix it with soybean paste & chili sauce) and also try pickled anchovy with steamed rice. These are included in the Flounder Mul Hoi.

Even though there are 2 famous restaurants that are full of customers, I prefer this restaurant.

The owner of our B&B (Casa Seorak) made a reservation for us here in this Korean-Japanese restaurant. We eat quite a lot of Japanese and except for the sashimi and some of the sushi, the difference in style is notable.No-one spoke English, we did not mind but the people there apparently did and an English speaking person was phoned and we had to tell that person what we wanted to eat: that was sushi and sahimi. Maybe the translation went wrong some-where along the line or they thought they would give us a treat, but the wonderful food kept coming and coming. About half way, but that we did not know at the time, we said to each other (actually a bit hopefully as we were getting full) that the meal was probably at an end, we were very wrong. 9 dishes are not shown in the picture.This was one of our more expensive meals in South Korea: 4 persons â¬88, about KRW 120,000.

We are not seafood lovers nor people who search out abalone, a popular delicacy in Korea, Yet this soup, we enjoyed~So, on our walk past this place towards the seaport, we saw a huge line of Koreans outside this restaurant. Well, monkey see, monkey do. After being awesomely disappointed by the portside food, we ended up on the line. At 18,000 krw each, the abalone soup is designed for one person and the more expensive seafood soup is designed for two. After balking at the prices for a bit, we got one of each. We had to make the line wait worth it. The soups were similar, but the abalone one had a richer taste with a hint of bean paste. The seafood was really fresh with very little of the "fishy" smell. Apparently, they only use the day's catch and sometimes close early if they run out of the day's catch. Don't know if that part is true, but we enjoyed it. Been trying seafood more regularly since, but it never got quite as good. This might seem pricey, but for us, it was well worth it.

CYC ( 2015.01.01 ) Our family visited there for lunch with Mulhoe, and this restaurant was famous place. Many famous Mulhoe restaurant was located Sokcho. We ordered Mulhoe that was representative this restaurant. This food was delicious and satisfied. This restaruants was very busy in meal times, so sometimes many people waited for their turns. Luckily, we visited there about 3 p.m, so we didn't wait. If you visit Sokcho, try to eat Mulhoe.
