I don't know why the days fly by so fast lately. After work I'm drained, and I just want to wrap up the day with something delicious.
A few days ago my husband and I said, "Let's have really good meat tonight!" and headed to Samstar Charcoal Grill (삼스타숯불구이) in Jeongwang-dong.

Jeongwang-dong is famous for its many great meat restaurants, right? Even so, Samstar Charcoal Grill felt like the number one pick among them.
I'll share my story about Samstar Charcoal Grill, where I was happy with everything from the meat quality to the side dishes :)
Is the Samstar Charcoal Grill atmosphere good for a team dinner?
Samstar Charcoal Grill is near Jeongwang Station, so it's easy to get to. After work hours passed, group diners kept coming in.
The place is spacious overall and the tables are nicely spaced, so it didn't feel crammed and noisy. Eating comfortably was no problem.
The interior was pretty striking, too. It has a retro vibe with big tiger paintings hanging up, which made it even more fun :)
It isn't too old-fashioned and feels tidy and clean, so it suits a team dinner well.
What comes in the Samstar Mix set?
The Samstar Mix set comes with three kinds of meat, Paldo pork belly, cubed deotsal (pork neck-side meat) and juicy cheonggyeop (layered pork belly), plus kimchi stew and perilla oil buckwheat noodles. This is the set we ordered that day.
- ✨ Paldo pork belly
- ✨ Cubed deotsal
- ✨ Juicy cheonggyeop
- ✨ Kimchi stew
- ✨ Perilla oil buckwheat noodles
That's what came out, and the lineup was really generous.
The meat looked special from the start. Even before going on the grill you could see how springy it was, and it looked full of juice at a glance :) The thickness was great, so I was excited before we even started grilling.
What do the cubed deotsal and juicy cheonggyeop taste like over charcoal?
Grilled over charcoal, the meat at Samstar Charcoal Grill was crisp outside and moist inside, with the juices intact. When the charcoal went in and the meat started grilling, the smell alone was insane. Every bite brought up a rich, nutty flavor.
The cubed deotsal especially had a really good chewy texture.
It has real bite but isn't tough, going down softly, so my chopsticks kept going back. The juicy cheonggyeop was, just like its name, incredibly juicy.
The moment it hit my mouth, the savory juices spread, and I instantly understood why it's popular. I've tried quite a few meat restaurants in Jeongwang-dong, and this one is truly among the best.
Is the Samstar Charcoal Grill perilla oil buckwheat noodle more than a side?
Honestly, what surprised me most at Samstar Charcoal Grill that day was the perilla oil buckwheat noodles (deulgireum makguksu). Usually the buckwheat noodles at a meat restaurant feel like a side, right?
But Samstar Charcoal Grill could almost be called a buckwheat noodle specialist. The perilla oil aroma comes up so nutty, and the noodles and seasoning go together so well.
While eating, I kept thinking, "I want to learn how to make this." Eaten with the meat, it cuts the greasiness perfectly, and the combination was truly the best.
How was the kimchi stew that comes with the set?
The kimchi stew in the Samstar Mix set didn't feel like an afterthought either. It's packed with meat, so it's almost on the level of a main dish.
The broth was rich and spicy, and it went really well with rice. I ended up ordering an extra bowl of rice and cleaning it all out. After the meat and then the kimchi stew, the meal felt super filling.
Why I recommend Samstar Charcoal Grill for a Jeongwang-dong team dinner
Samstar Charcoal Grill has great meat quality and a clean atmosphere, so I immediately understood why it's so popular.
It's good for team dinners and I think a family meal out would be satisfying too. If you're looking for a tasty meat restaurant in Jeongwang-dong, it's worth a visit.
We're planning to come back next time we get together with friends.
