“ Surprisingly excellent! Both seafood and soup are so fresh and delicious. ”
“ The restaurant is famous for 물회 aka cold raw fish soup, which is Sokcho’s local food, but we came on a rainy day so we didn’t wanna eat cold dish, and we’ve already tried 물회 at another place. So, we ordered: Abalone Porridge 보양 전복죽 (16,000KRW) Mussel Soup 섭국 (15,000KRW) Squid Sundae 오징어순대 (14,000KRW) The food was delicious, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really good as it’s located just beside Chungchoho Lake, so you can get a nice view. ”
“ The restaurant offers a lovely view and has friendly, attentive staff. The place is also very clean, which adds to the overall pleasant atmosphere. However, the food was underwhelming—flavors were mediocre, portions were small. Given the high prices, it didn’t feel worth the value. ”
“ High end local fish dish with clean restraunt. Bit crowded and noisy, maybe because here's the best. ”
“ Nice place to try raw seafood. We ordered a cold seafood soup for 2 people at 48,000 won, we had plenty for 2 and it was a nice dish that I never experienced before. Definitely recommend ”
“ It was too crowded, especially during lunchtime on weekends. When I left around 1 PM after finishing my meal, there were 90 groups waiting to be seated. The ocean view from the restaurant was nice. The food was served quickly and tasted okay, but it wasn’t particularly impressive and was a bit overpriced. The cold raw fish soup had a sweet and sour flavor, contained crispy shredded apple. ”
“ We were lucky to take a seat right away. We didn’t wait at all. I recommend to get there a little before rush hour lunch time. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Service was amazing. Server gave us extra side dishes that we liked. Nice ocean view was a wonderful! ”
“ Tasty Mulhoe (물회 - Iced Raw Fish Soup) but very very pricey - mainly because it's in one of the top tourist cities in Korea - Sokcho (속초). Great view towards Chungcho Lake (청초호). Plenty of parking. Got there at 10:30am and no line. Came out at 11:30am and huge line. ”
