Deogi Sikdang
덕이식당 Sikdang simply means eatery; Deogi reads as a given name, and the posts do not explain it — two of them saw the sign as 'Busan Deogi, soft-tofu specialist'.
Compiled from 23 blog posts read in fullSources →
A soft-tofu house near Jeongdongjin Station (Heonhwa-ro 1096-1, Gangdong-myeon, Gangneung). Posts give 11,000 won for the clear chodang sundubu, 15,000 won for the abalone 'jjamppong' — a red tofu stew, not noodles — and 15,000 won for buckwheat crepes; many came for breakfast around sunrise. We read 30 posts from 6 August 2025 to 13 October 2026; 24 record an actual meal, 5 are guides or lists written without visiting, and 1 was about another restaurant.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- You order from a tablet or kiosk at the table; 7 of 24 visit posts say so. One found a cheese tofu stew on the kiosk that was missing from the wall menu.
- Extra side dishes are self-serve; 6 posts mention it, some adding that water and aprons are self-serve too. One went back for the bellflower root again and again.
- Six posts call the room large: it looks small from the door but runs deep. One notes wide gaps between tables, and one says there are both floor and chair tables.
- Food comes fast: 4 posts say so — 'about 10 minutes', 'almost immediately'.
3 more
- The plain chodang tofu arrives almost unseasoned; 3 posts say so and describe adding the salted shrimp served alongside. One post found the abalone stew strongly seasoned.
- Families are the largest group (8 posts), then friends (6) and couples (2). Four brought children; one used a high chair and found the aisles easy for a stroller.
- Many posts repeat that two drama stars ate here, mostly as hearsay; 3 say they saw signatures or a posted note of what the stars ordered.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
4 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| Step-free access | 1 of 23 posts |
|---|
No post describes which floor the room is on or any stairs — that is not the same as there being none. One post mentions entering by a back door.
Nobody mentions a step or ramp at the entrance. One post found the aisles easy with a stroller; none mentions a wheelchair.
No post says where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender; we don't know.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 28 posts we gathered, 5 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Heat is disputed: 5 posts call the red stews spicy, 1 says not very, 2 are in between; posts mention you can ask for it hotter or milder.
- Opinions on price split: 2 posts call it expensive, 2 reasonable, 1 neither. One post says rice is charged separately, so a meal may cost more than the listed price.
- Only 1 post waited, briefly, on New Year's morning 2026; 3 walked straight in. One noticed crowds arrive and leave with the trains.
- Four posts came by train and walked over, describing it as anywhere from 'very close' to under 10 minutes on foot.
- Hours appear in 10 visit posts, all copied from listings: 06:00-20:00 daily in 7 and 06:00-21:00 in 2 through July 2026, then 07:00-20:00 in the two October 2026 posts. Opening may have moved later, but no post quotes the restaurant on it. Nobody mentions a break or last order.
- Six visit posts give the same phone number, 033-644-5112; none says whether bookings are taken.
- Five posts written without visiting share one template of ratings, signature dishes and prices; we did not count them, and one lists prices that disagree with the visit posts. Some visitors read the sign as 'Busan Deogi'.
