Two adults and one child ordered a portion each of pork belly and pork neck, pork skin, and kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew), grilled by staff and paired with unlimited wrap greens from the self-serve bar, and the child ate more of the soy-glazed pork skin than the meat itself. There's no dedicated parking, but the temporary public lot in Jayang District 5 across the street is a convenient option. ## Good to know - **Location**: 10-minute walk from Guui Station (Line 2) Exit 4, 1st floor of Jayang Skyview Ver commercial building - **Parking**: No dedicated parking; use the temporary public lot in Jayang District 5 across the main road - **Order**: 2 adults, 1 child / 1 portion pork belly, 1 portion pork neck, 1 portion pork skin, 1 kimchi jjigae - **Meat weight**: 200g pork belly + 200g pork neck, 400g total - **Meat**: 100% domestic Korean pork, grilled by staff - **Self-serve bar**: Unlimited extra side dishes and wrap greens; grillable eggplant, sweet pumpkin, and enoki mushrooms - **Standard side dishes**: Napa cabbage kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, seasoned pepper leaves, bracken fern, wild garlic leaves, seasoned bean sprouts, pickled pepper strips, white kimchi, pickled onion (minari/water dropwort is a separate order) *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal cover photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-01-1c9u3-1200.webp) Kate's Food Spot Pork belly is our family's favorite dish. Last weekend, to unwind after a long week, we all headed to Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal, a well-known BBQ spot near Guui Station. ## Location and parking near Guui Station ![Exterior of the restaurant on the 1st floor of Jayang Skyview Ver](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-02-rzf8x-900.webp) *Restaurant exterior* Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal, a popular BBQ restaurant near Guui Station, is on the 1st floor of the Jayang Skyview Ver commercial building, about a 10-minute walk from Exit 4 of Guui Station on Line 2. There's no parking support from the restaurant, so you'll need a nearby public lot — but conveniently, there's a temporary public lot in Jayang District 5 right across the main road. ### The vibe inside and weekend evening wait The interior is a long, narrow layout split into two sections, connected at the back to a shared self-serve bar. It looked freshly renovated — bright, clean, and tidy. There was no wait on a weekend evening, but the place was packed with customers, nearly full. ## Menu and our order for three ![Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-03-8gw2b-900.webp) The pork is 100% domestic Korean, and since the restaurant's parent company is a livestock specialist, they're confident about serving 'truly delicious meat.' There's so much you can grill alongside from the self-serve bar, so I'd recommend ordering roughly one meat portion per person! For reference, with two adults and one child, we ordered one portion of pork belly, one of pork neck, one of pork skin, and one kimchi jjigae. ## Table setting and ice barley tea ![A glass of barley tea full of ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-04-zulab-900.webp) Ta-da! This might be the first time I've posted such a big photo of water, but the ice barley tea was so refreshing and delicious that my kid drank five glasses of it haha. ![Sesame salt and curry powder sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-05-1qpru-900.webp) ![Garlic and ssamjang standard table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-06-1n1s3-900.webp) For sauces, they bring out sesame salt and curry powder, and garlic and ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste) come standard on the table. ## What comes with the basic side dishes ![Standard side dishes served with pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-07-mqvn4-900.webp) ![Mustard leaf kimchi and napa cabbage kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-08-km8xs-900.webp) ![Seasoned pepper leaves side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-09-12r2b-900.webp) ![Bracken fern and wild garlic leaves side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-10-1mgcz-900.webp) ![Seasoned bean sprouts and white kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-11-1iarx-900.webp) ![Pickled pepper strips and pickled onion](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-12-1p89z-900.webp) And all the side dishes that pair well with pork belly were there without fail. Napa cabbage kimchi is a given, plus there's mustard leaf kimchi and seasoned pepper leaves. Bracken fern, wild garlic leaves, seasoned bean sprouts, pickled pepper strips, white kimchi, and pickled onion all come standard. Minari (water dropwort) needs to be ordered separately. ## Self-serve wrap greens and grilling extras ![View of the self-serve bar at the back of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-13-6lw7n-900.webp) ![Extra side dish corner at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-14-87mif-900.webp) You can grab as many extra side dishes as you want from the self-serve bar. ![Various types of wrap greens at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-15-7xr26-900.webp) ![Eggplant, sweet pumpkin, and enoki mushrooms for grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-16-1cvlr-900.webp) There were what looked like at least eight kinds of fresh wrap greens, and you can also grab eggplant, sweet pumpkin, and enoki mushrooms to grill. ## 400g of pork belly and neck on the cauldron-lid grill ![Plate with 200g each of pork belly and pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-17-1ta52-900.webp) Our order of pork belly and pork neck came out, 200g each for 400g total, and you could tell at a glance the meat quality was good. Time to grill it! ![Pork belly grilling on the cauldron-lid grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-18-n8n3w-900.webp) The staff grills everything perfectly for you, so we didn't have to lift a finger — it was such an easy, comfortable meal. ![Meat sizzling on the cauldron-lid grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-19-jpnxk-900.webp) ![Close-up of nicely browned grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-20-1vk4s-900.webp) I'd briefly wondered whether we should've grilled over charcoal instead, but that thought vanished once I saw the power of the cauldron-lid grill. The surface of the meat sizzled and cooked beautifully under intense heat, which kept the juices locked in even better. ## Kimchi jjigae ![A pot of thick kimchi jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-21-a2ixh-900.webp) ![Kimchi jjigae loaded with ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-22-1pw65-900.webp) Eating only meat can get greasy, so we also ordered a spicy kimchi jjigae — and this one was thick, rich, and loaded with ingredients. It's a flavor I'm still thinking about. ## The soy-glazed pork skin my kid loved most ![Pork skin braised in soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-23-1effk-900.webp) ![Soy-glazed pork skin on the cauldron-lid grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner-24-fcsux-900.webp) Because the pork skin comes braised in soy sauce, it has extra umami and a sweet-savory flavor compared to plain pork skin, plus a softer texture. I think my kid ate more of this than the actual meat, haha. ## Would we go back? Walking out, both my kid and I were patting our full bellies, marveling at how well we'd eaten. Pork belly really is Korean soul food. Since we eat it so often, it's not easy to find a place that lives up to expectations every time — but I think I found one this time. We'll be back soon. :) ## Where it is - Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal (쌈채솥뚜껑삼겹살) - 55 Jayang-ro, 102-dong 103-ho, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 광진구 자양로 55 102동 103호 - 37.5322504, 127.0844859 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8C%88%EC%B1%84%EC%86%A5%EB%9A%9C%EA%BB%91%EC%82%BC%EA%B2%B9%EC%82%B4/@37.5322504,127.0844859,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@aisle-seat-supper/gwangjin-solttukkeong-samgyeopsal-family-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
