Hotpot buffet near Daerim Station with grilled lamb ribs: Sanha

What is Sanha Sinseungbu Daerim near Daerim Station?

Sanha Sinseungbu Daerim (산하신승부 대림본점) is a Chinese restaurant at 126 Dorim-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul (Pungnim Building), a one-minute walk from Daerim Station. It's open every day from 10:00 to 03:00. Even in Daerim, famous for hotpot, mala tang and lamb skewers, it's a popular spot with both Koreans and Chinese diners, and this was a return visit for me!

As you probably know, Daerim is a neighborhood with lots of Chinese residents, so hotpot, mala tang and lamb skewers are everywhere. Last time at Sanha Sinseungbu I had mala tang and guobaorou (crispy sweet-and-sour pork) and it was so, so good that I came back, this time for hotpot ⭐ It's close to the station, so it's easy to reach, and lots of office workers from Guro Digital Complex and Gasan Digital Complex come here too~

Atmosphere and seating at Sanha Sinseungbu Daerim

The inside is quite spacious, and it didn't smell much of meat or hotpot, so it felt fresh. There's more private seating at the back, so lots of people come for company dinners and group gatherings near Daerim Station 👍👍

Maybe because the weather had warmed up, they had the windows wide open, and a gentle breeze carried the meat smell out, which was nice~ I took these photos after everyone had left, but when I went straight after work it was completely full, so it's clearly popular. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good place near Daerim Station!

How much are the hotpot sets at Sanha Sinseungbu?

At Sanha Sinseungbu Daerim, the A and B sets are ₩29,000 each, and the C set, unlimited hotpot only, is ₩21,000.

• A set ₩29,000 (grilled lamb leg + grilled lamb ribs + hotpot)
• B set ₩29,000 (skewers + hotpot)
• C set unlimited hotpot ₩21,000

There are loads of other menu items besides the A–C hotpot sets, but I came for hotpot today, so I only photographed the hotpot set menu! There was also mala tang, special Chinese dishes and more. The menu was so big I couldn't fit it all in a photo.

What comes in the A set with grilled lamb and unlimited hotpot?

If you order the all-you-can-eat option at Sanha Sinseungbu, you get unlimited hotpot and meat! I picked the A set (₩29,000), which gives you grilled lamb leg and grilled lamb ribs plus unlimited hotpot. Unlimited meat and hotpot for that price is incredible value...!!

Wow, there's so much variety that not going unlimited would almost feel like a loss. The ingredients were really generous and so delicious, I was completely satisfied!!

The self-bar has everything from vegetables to all kinds of noodles and sauces, generous and special ingredients that feel like they were brought straight from China, and it was all kept fresh, which I liked! I'd just come back from a trip to China and really missed the real Chinese mala flavor, and Sanha Sinseungbu near Daerim Station scratched that itch T_T

Which hotpot broths does Sanha Sinseungbu offer?

The hotpot comes with two broths, clear and mala, and you can load it up with as many self-bar ingredients as you like. If you like spicy food, go mala; if you want something clean and light, the clear broth is perfect!

What's also nice is that when the broth reduces, they add more broth plus mala seasoning, so you can keep enjoying the same flavor. They never made me feel awkward about eating a lot, and everyone was so kind that it was easy to relax and eat 👍

How were the unlimited grilled lamb ribs and lamb leg?

The grilled lamb leg and lamb ribs in the A set were surprisingly?? amazing. The hotpot was as good as I'd hoped, since I'd enjoyed the mala tang here last time, but I hadn't expected much from the meat because it was all-you-can-eat. But why is the meat quality so good and so tasty...????

I especially loved the grilled lamb ribs. They weren't dry at all, and omg they were so good I was like, what is this...?!! There's also a meat sauce at the self-bar sauce corner, and dipping the meat in it makes it twice as good!!

The meat was so tender and tasty, and I kept thinking, why is the value so great...? I recommend Sanha Sinseungbu to anyone looking for a good place around Daerim Station or in Daerim!
