When I choose a Korean BBQ restaurant, great meat is a given, but I also care quite a bit about who grills it, whether the smoke is overwhelming, and whether the side dishes are tasty too. ![Sansol, an aged pork specialist in Sinsa](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-02-115nm-966.webp) After trying it this time, I was pretty satisfied because it checked all the points I care about. Having someone grill all the meat from beginning to end was honestly more convenient than I expected *_* ## What kind of place is Sansol Sinsa Main Branch? As its name combines san (mountain, 山) and sol (to lead, 率), Sansol is an aged-pork specialist that embodies the harmony of nature and time. They say they use fresh ingredients sourced from Gangwon Province, while the sauces and side dishes served alongside are prepared in-house daily with fresh ingredients. Even the grill wasn’t ordinary. It is a custom-made special cast-iron grill from Sansol, said to retain heat well, seal in the juices, and bring out the meat’s flavor..! ![Special cast-iron grill at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-03-10bnq-966.webp) ![Meat grill at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-04-1l7sm-966.webp) ## The aged pork menu and our order ![Menu information at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-05-ja7c8-966.webp) ![Menu information at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-06-1cvpa-966.webp) ![Menu information at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-07-1co48-966.webp) ![Menu information at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-08-145x1-966.webp) Looking at the menu, they had a range of cuts centered on aged pork. We chose two servings of aged flower pork collar from among them. ![Table setting for two servings of aged flower pork collar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-09-16nuy-966.webp) ![Aged flower pork collar and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-10-l7urg-966.webp) ![Aged flower pork collar order components](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-11-pmm0a-966.webp) ![Flower pork collar and side dishes table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-12-1tkm1-966.webp) We couldn’t just pass over the sides, so we ordered doenjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew) and kkakdugi fried rice too! You simply can’t resist the combination of finishing a meat meal with stew and fried rice....🧡 ## Aged flower pork collar grilled by staff to the very end The meat arrived lightly pre-grilled, and after that a staff member cooked it to an easy-to-eat finish suited to the cut. This was the part I loved most here! They don’t just grill a few pieces and leave—they grill everything from beginning to end..! At a Korean BBQ restaurant, one person quietly ends up in charge of the tongs and has to keep watching whether the meat is cooked, right? And it’s such a shame to ruin good meat by grilling it badly.. ![Aged flower pork collar grilled by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-13-munjr-966.webp) Here, we could simply chat, wait, and eat the meat once it was deliciously grilled, so it was really comfortable. ![Meal with grilled aged flower pork collar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-14-1ddiu-966.webp) ## A neat table setting, right down to the sides and sauces I also liked the quality of the complimentary side dishes. You know how some Korean BBQ places have delicious main meat, but you barely reach for the accompaniments? At Sansol, there was quite a variety, from the basic side dishes to sauces and accompaniments, and the whole spread was presented neatly. ![Table setting with various sauces and complimentary side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-15-s64hk-1200.webp) They say the sauces and side dishes are prepared in-house daily with fresh ingredients, and after tasting them, I felt this wasn’t a place where only the meat was good >_< I had a piece of flower pork collar with one side dish, then dipped another in a different sauce, so it never felt like I was eating the same flavor the whole time. ![Flower pork collar with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-16-lopiu-966.webp) Personally, I think the dishes served with the meat matter almost as much as the meat itself at a Korean BBQ restaurant, and this felt like they had put real thought into the table setting too! ## Tender, juicy flower pork collar The flower pork collar, cooked just right by the staff member, was golden on the outside while properly retaining its moisture inside. I don’t really like dry pork collar, so I tend to hesitate a little before ordering it.. ![Golden-brown grilled aged flower pork collar](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-17-1qvcp-966.webp) Sansol’s aged flower pork collar wasn’t dry in the way I had worried about—it was tender, and the more I chewed, the more I could taste its nutty flavor and juices. So good, bbb The downward ventilation ducts were something I liked as much as the meat. Smoke and odors are drawn down beneath the grill, so there was less smoke while eating and less worry about the smell clinging to clothes or hair. ## Finishing with doenjang-jjigae and kkakdugi fried rice Once you’ve had meat, you have to go for the sides too! We properly ordered and ate both doenjang-jjigae and kkakdugi fried rice. ![Flower pork collar and doenjang-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-18-1wygc-966.webp) The doenjang-jjigae was lovely for spoonfuls of warm broth between bites of flower pork collar, and it refreshed the palate after the meat too—such a good call to order it together! ![Kkakdugi fried rice to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-19-1314a-966.webp) And finally, kkakdugi fried rice! Personally, a Korean BBQ meal doesn’t feel properly complete unless the final fried rice is good too, you know? The kkakdugi’s crunchy texture was still there and went so well with the nuttily stir-fried rice that I kept eating even though I was already full. I really felt we had picked such a great combination of dishes that day 💞 ![Aged flower pork collar and side-dish meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-20-1jcae-966.webp) ![Table setting at the end of the meat meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-21-1fq4o-966.webp) From the aged flower pork collar to the sides, this was a place where we enjoyed everything. ![Aged pork at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-22-bleb3-966.webp) ![Aged flower pork collar and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-23-16c6k-966.webp) It was also great that the staff grilled everything from beginning to end, so we could enjoy a relaxed meal! ![Dining space at Sansol Sinsa Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol-24-9b5p7-966.webp) If you’re looking for delicious aged pork near Sinsa Station, I’d recommend Sansol Sinsa Main Branch! ## Where it is - Sansol Sinsa Main Branch (산솔 신사본점) - 18 Naruteo-ro 12-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 나루터로12길 18 1층 - 37.5146623, 127.0174642 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%B0%EC%86%94%20%EC%8B%A0%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5146623,127.0174642,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cream-and-color/sinsa-pork-grill-sansol/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
