Eomjine Pojangmacha Main Branch 엄지네포장마차 본점
Gangneung · Downtown & Jungang Market · Meal
A nationally known restaurant that popularized kkomak bibimbap, rice topped with seasoned cockles, vegetables and sesame oil, which you mix at the table. The cockles are chewy and a little sweet, and the combined flavor is salty, nutty and gently spicy. Pojangmacha means a roadside tent bar, and the interior imitates that casual style.
Queue time can be long, so write your name on the list and walk to a cafe. It is close enough to the train station for a meal on arrival or just before your train. Prices may change.
