HeySeorakEnglish MenuSeodam Ssalguksu
서담 쌀국수
Interviewed by HeySeorakKorean · Moderate · Downtown
A rice noodle shop hidden in a quiet Sokcho neighborhood, where a self-taught chef simmers herbal broth from scratch every morning. The signature dish — a whole red crab floating in aromatic noodle soup — sells out at 20 bowls a day. No tourist-zone hype, just the kind of place locals bring their families back to.
Pro tip
Arrive early for the hongge (red crab) ssalguksu — only 20 bowls are made daily and they sell out fast. Tuesday is a half-day (closes at 3 PM). The owner will happily show you how to crack the whole crab if you ask.
