Chodang Bonjeom Sundubu 초당본점순두부
Sokcho · Seoraksan & Nohak-dong · Meal
Soft tofu stew is a defining dish of Sokcho, and this restaurant makes its tofu fresh each day, giving a clean, slightly sweet flavor. The classic order is a tray of soft tofu served with rice and a handful of side dishes, mild enough for children and for visitors who dislike chili. Ask the staff to keep it non-spicy if you have a low tolerance, and say so if you avoid seafood, because broths vary.
It is a good meal either before a hike or as comfort food on a damp day. Menus, prices and queues change by season. Cards usually work.
Take a taxi from Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal in about 15 minutes, or ride a bus toward Seoraksan and get off in Nohak-dong. Parking is limited. (Show a driver: 초당본점순두부)
