Chodangbonjeom sits in Sokcho on the approach to Seoraksan National Park — a tofu specialist that's been running for over five decades. The draw here is the soft bean curd, which skips the pressing step that hardens regular tofu, leaving it with a smoother, more delicate texture that sets it apart.
The signature move is the soft bean curd hot pot — tofu, vegetables, and sauce combined — but the menu branches into spicy soft bean curd stew if you want heat, and modubu (a thicker, scrambled-style preparation). The side dishes are a point of pride here: Sokcho's stuffed squid (vegetables and glass noodles packed inside) and potato pancakes made with pan-fried mashed potatoes are the real companions to the main dish.
The restaurant runs from 7 AM to 8 PM daily (last order at 7:20 PM), so it's accessible whether you're heading into the park early or wrapping up a hike. Parking is available on-site.
