How to order Address & map

Ramujin Sokcho Gyodong Branch (라무진 속초교동점) serves lamb in the Gyodong neighborhood of Sokcho, a port city on Gangwon's east coast. A Sokcho food list posted in July 2023 names these dishes at Ramujin: peurenchi-rek (프렌치렉), a rack of lamb ribs with the bones left long; yanggalbi (양갈비), lamb ribs; plain lamb; and odeng-tang (오뎅탕), fish-cake soup.

Yanggalbi grilled at your seat

A Sokcho resident who visited in late December 2024 and posted on January 1, 2025 says the staff at Ramujin come to the table and grill the meat for you. The blogger found the grilling skilled and the staff friendly, and advises diners to relax and let them work. The same blogger had tried lamb skewers several times but never lamb ribs served whole, and writes that the ribs feel different from skewers.

The cover photo, taken in October 2021, shows one browned cube of meat lying across two pieces of scallion, a white one and a green one, on a pale blue-grey oval plate. A thin strip of fatty meat sits beside it, and a bowl of what looks like pickled radish is at the upper right.

A hand holds up a bone-in cut of browned meat with a white wrapping at the tip of the bone; behind it, out of focus, are a round ridged pan on a silver base and two hands, one holding tongs; a black dish of browned garlic cloves is at the lower left.

The second photo shows what looks like a lamb rib held up by hand: several browned chunks of meat along a bone whose tip is wrapped in something white. Behind it, out of focus, a round pan with a ridged surface sits on a silver base, and two hands appear beyond it, one holding tongs. A black dish of browned garlic cloves is at the lower left.

Ramujin's hours and parking

Ramujin is open from 17:00 to 24:00 and closed on Sundays, according to the January 2025 blog post. A Sokcho food list from July 2023 also has Ramujin opening at 17:00. Ramujin Sokcho Gyodong Branch is in an alley of Meokgeorichon (먹거리촌), a name that means food village. The blogger says there is no car park in front of Ramujin, so you park on the main road or inside the alley, and advises against driving into the area in the afternoon. Neither post lists prices in its text, so I have left them out.
