Gamnamu Sikdang 감나무식당
Yangyang · Yangyang Town & Namdaecheon · Meal
Hwangtae gukbap, a rice soup made from dried pollack that has been frozen and thawed over the winter, is a Gangwon speciality that is mild, hearty and good for the morning after a long day. Gamnamu Sikdang serves it, plus grilled flounder, from early in the day, which is rare among restaurants. The dining room is simple, with the kind of home-style cooking that feels familiar even to first-timers.
It closes around three in the afternoon and may shut earlier when ingredients run out, so do not leave lunch late. Prices are moderate. Ask about the daily set or the banchan, which are refilled willingly.
It stands on a residential lane in Yangyang town with a small lot out front. Take a taxi from the bus terminal if you do not have a car. (Show a driver: 감나무식당)
