4.2
(28 reviews)A well-known Gangneung spot where locals line up as often as travelers do. The house specialties are yuk-sashimi (thinly sliced raw beef) and -muchim (spicy seasoned cockles). Before the main dishes arrive you get about 10–11 banchan (side dishes), a sign of generous hospitality here. The -muchim is notable for a large portion of well-cleaned cockles dressed with a savory sauce and chopped Cheongyang chilis; many people also order the bibimbap (rice mixed with cockles and sauce) — the salty-sweet seasoning and the chili’s sharp heat balance together very well.
Local Tips
- •House specialties: kkomak-muchim (spicy seasoned cockles) and yuk-sashimi (raw beef slices)
- •Casual, bustling stall-style atmosphere with 10–11 complimentary banchan before mains
- •Order kkomak bibimbap after the kkomak — mix rice with cockles and sauce; expect a wait during peak hours
