Go-ssi-ne Donghae Makguksu Main Branch 고씨네동해막국수 본점
Gangneung · Anmok, Gangmun & Songjeong · Meal
Makguksu is a Gangwon specialty: buckwheat noodles tossed with a sweet, sour and mildly spicy sauce, often with a splash of sesame oil and a sprinkle of seaweed. It is simple, filling and refreshing in summer. The restaurant sits steps from the sand at Gangmun and also serves a hot noodle soup made with soft tofu, which makes a milder alternative.
It is a handy lunch stop between beaches, and the family-friendly seating fits kids. Mix the noodles well before you eat. Expect the price board to differ slightly from older blog posts.
From Gangneung Station (강릉역) it is about 20 minutes by taxi, or a local bus toward Gangmun. It is across from Gangmun Beach.
