There are many restaurants in Sokcho that sell Hamheung Naengmyeon, and among them, this is one of the original restaurants in Sokcho and has been spreading the taste of the North ever since the founder, whose hometown is North Korea, settled in Sokcho. We stick to the old-fashioned hand-made noodles, and the noodles are sticky but not tough. The seasoning for Makguksu is made by combining meat broth with red pepper powder, garlic, soy sauce, and ginger, and the broth made by mixing beef bones and mixed bones has a good umami flavor. The representative menu item, ‘Hamheung Raw Makguksu’, is a dish in which seasoned pollack is topped with basic Makguksu, adding a chewy texture and light sweetness to the Makguksu. It also goes well with soft ‘boiled pork’. As a restaurant in the Sokcho area, it sells ‘squid sundae’, so it is recommended if you want to taste local specialties in one place.

This restaurant opened in 1974 and has been welcoming customers for over 40 years. The restaurant, which was renovated from a traditional Korean house, looks small at first glance, but once inside, it is somewhat large and has the unexpected charm of being able to welcome groups of guests. The Makguksu here is served in a style where the seasoning is placed on top of the noodles. It is best to first enjoy it as mixed Makguksu by adding a little Dongchimi and mixing it, and then add a generous amount of Dongchimi and enjoy it in the form of water Makguksu. Because the noodles are mixed with wheat flour and sweet potato starch for texture, they are smooth yet elastic. Another popular menu item, ‘Potato Pancake’, is slightly crispy yet soft on the inside and has a delicious flavor of potatoes. In addition, soft boiled pork served with seasoned pollack is also popular.
