A dried-pollock and chodang soft-tofu restaurant on the second floor of a building in the alley right outside Jeongdongjin Station in Gangneung, under a big sign that reads 'Hwangtae and Sundubu'. We read only one post, from 3 August 2025. Its writer came on a weekday at 1 p.m. and had the grilled pollock (17,000 won, rice and soft tofu included) and the spicy seafood soft tofu (12,000 won), and said it felt cheap for a tourist spot.

What sets it apart
- The one post says seven side dishes come in small portions at first, and the owner explained you can help yourself to more at the self-serve bar by the counter.

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.

Getting inside
| Second floor | 1 of 1 posts |
|---|
The restaurant is upstairs, on the second floor; the post warned it may be a little hard for older people who have trouble with their legs.
Nobody said whether the second floor is reached by stairs or a lift, or whether there is a step at the entrance. We don't know.
Nobody mentioned the toilets, so we don't know where they are or whether they are separate.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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.

What we do not know
- No one wrote about waiting. The one post found three tables occupied on a weekday at 1 p.m.; we don't know about weekend mornings or peak season.
- The one post only says 'we', so we don't know who people come here with.
- Opening hours come from a single post: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at weekends, open every day. No other post confirms them.
- All prices come from the menu copied out in one August 2025 post; the only meal total we have is that post's two dishes, 29,000 won.
- The phone number 033-644-5830 comes from one post, which suggested groups book ahead; no post describes actually booking.
