Domunjip (도문집) is a noodle shop in Geumho-dong, Sokcho, a few minutes from the city's central market and the harbour. EatHub's records show it on Master of Living and on Poongja's food content, and it carries EatHub's Master badge. It is a cheap, simple stop between the beach, the market and Seoraksan.
What to order
EatHub lists naeng-kalguksu (cold knife-cut noodles), hot kalguksu and kimchi mandu (kimchi dumplings). The price level is ₩, so you can order a bowl of noodles and a plate of dumplings to share without much thought. On a hot day the cold noodles are the obvious choice; in winter the hot bowl makes more sense.
How to eat
For the hot kalguksu, loosen the noodles first and eat slowly, as the broth can be very hot. For the cold version, taste the broth before the ice melts and dilutes it. Alternate bites of noodles with the kimchi dumplings.
When to go
EatHub does not list opening hours for Domunjip, so check its EatHub page before you go. Small noodle shops in tourist towns can get busy at lunch on weekends, so an early or late lunch is usually easier.
Around the area
The Abai Village gaetbae, a hand-pulled ferry across the harbour channel, is a short walk away, and Cheongho Beach sits on the far side. Cheongchoho Lake and its lakeside park are a little further south, good for a walk after lunch.

Practical tips
- Getting there: Intercity and express buses from Seoul arrive at Sokcho's bus terminals; from there a taxi or local bus reaches the market area. Use a map app with the Korean name 도문집.
- Allergies: Noodles and dumplings contain wheat, and kimchi dumplings may include pork, soy or seafood-based seasoning. Tell the staff about allergies before ordering.
