Oksanjang occupies a traditional hanok building in the quiet village of Yeoryang-myeon, Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon-do, reachable via winding mountain roads between trips to Donghae or Yeongwol. The menu centers on gondeure rice, rice cooked with the wild thistle greens native to Jeongseon, and grilled deodeok root, both reflecting the mountain flavors of the region. Side dishes draw from the same terroir: acorn jelly salad, potato rice cakes, braised tofu, and gondeure jeon, each prepared with a light, homestyle hand that avoids heavy seasoning and lets ingredients speak for themselves. The result is a meal that sits comfortably in the stomach long after the last bite. Grilled fish arrives clean and free of any fishy taste, while the fragrant deodeok elevates the overall spread. Staff attentively refill any dish that runs low, maintaining a level of warmth that visitors consistently praise. Pairing the meal with corn makgeolli from the village brewery completes the experience. An early breakfast set is available from 8 to 10 AM and draws equally positive reviews. Ordering the pork jeyuk set automatically includes grilled deodeok, offering strong value. Parking is available at a nearby lot equipped with EV charging stations, and restrooms are in a separate building outside. Seating has been converted from floor-style to raised tables, improving comfort. Prices have edged up with broader inflation, but the care behind every dish keeps the value proposition intact.
