We ordered Gim Sukseong Special 2, with pork neck, samgyeopsal, gabrisal, marinated raw crab rice, and truffle jjagechi. A great choice for a relaxed, staff-grilled pork feast. ## Good to know - **Evening peak hours**: 6:30–8:00 PM - **Order**: Gim Sukseong Special 2 - **Gim Sukseong Special 2**: 2 portions pork neck plus 250 g limited aged-pork assortment (samgyeopsal and gabrisal) - **Complimentary dish**: Kimchi stew - **Sauces**: Anchovy fish sauce, cheese salt, house ssamjang, and shiitake soy sauce *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Signature image of aged samgyeopsal at Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-01-1exhg-966.webp) ## When you want effortless aged samgyeopsal near Cheonho Station Home cooking is lovely, but don’t you sometimes desperately crave a piece of meat that someone else has carefully grilled for you? 🥩 While looking for thick, properly aged meat paired with fragrant vegetables, I found Gim Sukseong, a pork BBQ restaurant near Cheonho Station! ![Visit to Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch near Cheonho Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-02-1ojsb-966.webp) There can often be a wait during evening peak hours (6:30–8:00 PM). If Naver reservations are available, I recommend booking ahead; arriving about 30 minutes outside peak time will get you seated much more comfortably. ## Warm retro atmosphere and the complimentary table spread Thanks to the soft, warm lighting, the interior feels cozy and full of a distinctly retro mood. ![Warmly lit interior of Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-03-33o0d-966.webp) The complimentary dishes set down as soon as you sit are enough to make you gasp. ![Complimentary side-dish spread at Gim Sukseong](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-04-obzno-966.webp) From sweet-spicy yangnyeom gejang (marinated raw crab), an irresistible rice companion, to sharply fermented green-onion kimchi and myeongi namul (pickled wild garlic leaves) that cuts through the richness, everything arrives neatly arranged. ![Marinated raw crab and green-onion kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-05-1ho9k-966.webp) ![Pickled wild garlic leaves and accompaniments for the meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-06-auqg9-966.webp) There are also four dipping sauces for the meat: anchovy fish sauce, cheese salt, house-made ssamjang (seasoned soybean paste), and shiitake soy sauce. The cheese salt, which brings a nutty cheese flavor and savory saltiness at once, was a hidden card that instantly elevated the meat’s own umami. ![Gim Sukseong Special menu spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-07-l09va-966.webp) ## Gim Sukseong Special 2 with minari We ordered Gim Sukseong Special 2, the recommended menu for two. It comes generously packed with two portions of thick pork neck and a 250 g limited aged-pork assortment of samgyeopsal (pork belly) and gabrisal (pork collar). The biggest draw here is that the staff take charge of all the grilling! Just as the meat reaches that perfect crisp-outside, tender-inside finish, they load the grill with potatoes, mushrooms, and a heaping pile of minari (water parsley), practically a whole bunch. ![Minari and vegetables on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-08-1wqis-966.webp) Pairing the meat with minari softened fragrantly in the pork fat means you can keep eating endlessly without it ever feeling greasy. 🌿 ![Minari served alongside grilled meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-09-1lb7q-966.webp) ### The gabrisal I remember most Of all the cuts, my clear number-one pick was the gabrisal. The moment I bit into it, the juices burst across my mouth, and its wonderfully tender texture was simply art. ![Juicy gabrisal pork collar](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-10-ijrnv-966.webp) A spoonful of the spicy kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew), served as a complimentary dish, refreshes your palate right away. ![Complimentary kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-11-1h10x-966.webp) ## Side dishes that finished the meal beautifully The side dishes that brought the meal to its finale were another succession of delightful surprises. ![Yangnyeom gejang rice with crab meat and seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-12-c6527-966.webp) The yangnyeom gejang bap, with umami-rich crab meat and nutty seaweed flakes, was so delicious that I gasped as soon as I took a spoonful, ![Truffle jjagechi side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork-13-a47mo-966.webp) while the deeply flavored truffle jjagechi showed exactly how satisfying that sweet-and-salty balance can be. ## Who Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch suits - Anyone who wants a comfortable meal without grilling the meat themselves - Anyone who loves aged pork paired with minari - Anyone who considers high-quality side dishes important I was very satisfied to be served meat grilled to perfection while we could sit face-to-face and chat comfortably. If you are looking for a Cheonho Station pork BBQ spot that works equally well for a hearty meal or a cheerful drinking occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Gim Sukseong! ## Where it is - Gim Sukseong Seongnae Branch (김숙성 성내점) - 101, 1st floor, 35 Cheonho-ot 14-gil, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강동구 천호옛14길 35 1층 101호 - 37.5359846, 127.1274806 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B9%80%EC%88%99%EC%84%B1%20%EC%84%B1%EB%82%B4%EC%A0%90/@37.5359846,127.1274806,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@empty-chair-lunch/cheonho-gimsukseong-minari-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
