Dancheon Sikdang 단천식당
Sokcho · Cheongho-dong & Sokcho Beach · Meal
Abai sundae is a regional take on a Korean sausage, made from squid stuffed with rice, vegetables and noodles, and this old restaurant has served it for decades. The plate arrives sliced with dipping sauce and side dishes, and a bowl of soup is often included. The taste is mild and savory, appealing to most travelers even if blood sausage sounds unfamiliar, because most versions rely on noodles, tofu and vegetables; ask if unsure.
Lunchtime lines are common, so arrive early. Cash is handy if the card machine is slow. Menus, prices and hours may change, and a short wait at peak times is normal.
In Abai Village; take the hand-pulled raft from the market side, or walk across the nearby footbridge. A taxi from downtown takes about 10 minutes. (Show a driver: 단천식당)
