Editor’s overview
One of the long-running tofu houses in Chodang-dong, the seaside neighborhood where tofu is set with seawater instead of standard coagulants, giving it a delicate, custard-like texture. It's a quiet, homestyle counterpoint to Gangneung's beach and coffee-street crowds.
Menu and ordering
Try the fresh, unpressed soft tofu plain with soy sauce first, then move on to the spicier sundubu hot pot.
Sundubu hot pot ₩13,000; fresh soft tofu ₩10,000
Before you go
