Leaving their 100-day-old baby with grandma, the couple shared two servings of score-cut kimchi pork belly (₩17,000 each) plus bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) and fried rice, with kimchi, scallion salad, minari and bean sprouts grilling on the pot lid so nothing got boring. Between the baby chair and the parking spaces out front, Sammi-jip is an easy recommendation for Korean barbecue near Cheongna Complex 4. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 18 Cheongna Canal-ro 233beon-gil, Seohae-gu, Incheon - **Hours**: Daily 10:30–22:30 - **What we ordered**: Score-cut kimchi pork belly ₩17,000 ×2, bibim naengmyeon ₩8,000, fried rice ₩5,000, bowl of rice ₩1,000, cola ₩2,000 - **Parking**: Spaces in front of the restaurant (not many) - **With kids**: Baby chair available - **Origin**: Pork: domestic (Korean) - **Price reference**: ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 · ₩8,000 ≈ $5.8 · ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 (2026-09-17) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* With a 100-day-old baby, going to a barbecue restaurant isn't easy. But I was craving pot-lid pork belly so badly that I left the baby with grandma and went to eat! The pot-lid pork belly I hadn't had in a while tasted absolutely amazing. - Sammi-jip - Address: 18 Cheongnacanal-ro 233beon-gil, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - Hours: Daily 10:30–22:30 ![Exterior of Sammi-jip in Cheongna](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-01-1i6jy-900.webp) ## Where is Sammi-jip near Cheongna Lake Park? Sammi-jip is located near Cheongna Lake Park, close to Dongyang Enpartment Complex 4. It's newly opened but already word-of-mouth famous as a Cheongna Complex 4 favorite. ## Parking at Sammi-jip in Cheongna ![Parking space in front of Sammi-jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-02-4uvpr-900.webp) Sammi-jip has parking space right in front of the restaurant, so driving there isn't a hassle. Just note the spots aren't super plentiful! ## Inside Sammi-jip and the self-serve bar ![Wood-tone white interior of Sammi-jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-03-16g52-900.webp) ![Overview of tables and seating at Sammi-jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-04-fbblq-900.webp) Is this a pork belly place or a café...? This is the first time I've seen such a pretty, stylish barbecue restaurant. The wood-tone and white interior feels comfortable yet upscale! Great for dates, but also for company dinners and gatherings. They have a baby chair, so it's good to visit with a baby too. I'll definitely bring mine again once they're bigger. They even had the nice touch of disposable aprons! The self-serve corner is spotless too — lettuce and other wraps, garlic scapes, pickled peppers, pickled onion, ssammu (pickled radish for wraps), garlic, seasoned bean sprouts, kimchi, ssamjang (dipping sauce), and more. The pickled peppers here are seriously addictive... you have to try them. The country of origin is clearly labeled too. The pork is domestic, of course! ## Sammi-jip menu and prices ![Sammi-jip pork belly menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-05-fp462-900.webp) ![Menu board listing set menus at Sammi-jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-06-11l9y-900.webp) ![À la carte menu page at Sammi-jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-07-qescy-900.webp) ![Additional menu board page at Sammi-jip](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-08-5a2pd-900.webp) Sammi-jip lets you order set menus or à la carte.

It was two servings of score-cut pork belly, and with the naengmyeon and fried rice, the portion was just right for two of us. Kimchi, scallion salad, seasoned bean sprouts, minari (water dropwort), king oyster mushrooms and onion all come out and get grilled together right on the pot lid! Absolutely delicious. ![Kimchi and vegetables placed on the pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-15-wb9w3-900.webp) Kimchi made in-house by a real artisan! Look at that color, right? Genuinely so good. ![Plate of homemade kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-16-8n8rs-900.webp) ![Dongchimi, lettuce wraps, and sauces as side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-17-h21vy-900.webp) Dongchimi (watery radish kimchi), lettuce wraps, sauces and more! Anything missing you can just grab from the self-serve bar. The dongchimi was so refreshing and clean-tasting... I drank the broth nonstop. It totally cuts through the pork belly's richness. ![Kimchi and pork belly grilling on the pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-18-1f38e-900.webp) Bring on the kimchi~~ Since it's domestic pork belly, the meat quality is great. ![Thick score-cut pork belly grilling on the pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-19-vy7q8-1200.webp) The colors were so pretty and the whole thing looked amazing... The pork belly was thick, so the juices burst out. Their special sauce is the kicker — it really elevates the meat's flavor. ![Well-grilled pork belly with grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-20-gytip-900.webp) Rice, well-grilled pork belly, and kimchi grilled in the pork belly's fat — eating that combo together is thrilling... best combination ever. Since the kimchi is homemade by the artisan, it's on another level. The lettuce wraps are fresh too! I'm someone who loves wrapping food in leaves. ![Pork belly wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-21-wsddg-900.webp) ![Pork belly topped with scallion salad and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-22-8yeei-900.webp) ![A piece of pork belly with seasoned bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-23-1dk3j-900.webp) Scallion salad, minari, and bean sprouts all pair perfectly. The bean sprouts in particular were so good we got a free refill... The pork belly is delicious, but the side pairings are what make it. With so much variety, we never got tired of it, even by the end. ![Pot-lid pork belly staying warm until the end](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip-24-1em1j-900.webp) Since everything stayed hot until the last bite, it tasted even better, I think. Pork belly is truly best on a pot lid... I love kimchi pork belly so much. ### Finishing with bibim naengmyeon and fried rice The bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) comes out more like a half-portion cold noodle dish. The seasoning was really good. Naengmyeon after grilled meat feels essential. And to finish, fried rice~ It has egg mixed in, so it's light and nutty. Seriously addictive — I didn't leave a single grain of rice! ## The verdict on Sammi-jip This Cheongna pork belly favorite, Sammi-jip, is great because you get to enjoy so many ingredients together on a big pot lid. The naengmyeon and fried rice were delicious too, making for an even more satisfying meal. If you're looking for a good restaurant near Cheongna Complex 4, definitely visit Sammi-jip. ## Where it is - Sammi-jip (삼미집) - 18 Cheongnacanal-ro 233beon-gil, 1F, Seohae-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 서해구 청라커낼로233번길 18 1층 - 37.5292096, 126.6428885 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%BC%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%91/@37.5292096,126.6428885,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@incheon-harbor-spoon/cheongna-lake-park-samgyeopsal-samijip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
