Compiled from 2 blog posts read in fullSources →
A soft-tofu house in Sokcho's Haksapyeong tofu village (187 Wonamhaksapyeong-gil). We read 2 posts, from 6 to 28 August 2026, and both writers ate there. Spicy and plain chodang sundubu were listed at 14,000 won and perilla sundubu at 15,000 won, served with a spread of side dishes including soybean-pulp stew. Both writers came by car; one came for breakfast, the other for dinner with a child.

What sets it apart
- Side-dish refills are self-serve; both posts said so, one adding that plates and ladles are self-serve too.
- Both posts called the room large. One said there is both floor seating and table seating; the other saw four-person tables pushed together for groups.
- The one post that came with a child noted high chairs and an indoor restroom, and that staff checked whether a seat by the restroom was all right.

Both posts mention the private lot in front. The one that came on a Friday morning in peak season found it already full and parked on a side street across the road, about a minute's walk away.

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
| Toilet inside | 1 of 2 posts |
|---|
No post said what floor the dining room is on; one only described a tiled-roof building.
Nobody wrote about steps at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. That means we don't know, not that there is none.
One post said the restroom is inside, and that there is another in the parking lot. Nobody mentioned separate men's and women's rooms or their size.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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
- Only one post speaks to waiting: on a peak-season Friday around 9:20 a.m. the room was nearly full but they were seated without a wait. Nobody wrote about lunch or weekends.
- Only one post judged the spicy tofu's heat, saying it was not very hot; the same post found a slight sweetness across the dishes.
- Nobody described getting there by bus or other public transit; both writers drove.
- One post came as a family with a child and the other as a party of three; nobody came with friends or alone, so we can't say much about who it suits.
- Both posts gave opening hours of 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., but in copied info blocks; nobody mentioned a closing day or a break.
- Prices come only from the two August 2026 posts: 14,000 to 15,000 won per bowl of tofu, and one party of three that added a small grilled pollack at 16,000 won. Neither post gave a total bill.
- The phone number (0507-1338-9878) appears only in one post's copied info block, and nobody wrote about actually booking; 'reservations possible' is copied too.
- The '60-year tradition' and celebrity visits come from the signboard and the house's own claims, so we did not count them.
