If you're looking for a good-value BBQ place in Seochang-dong, Daepae Sinhwa (대패신화) is worth a visit. When I actually went, the price, the taste and the whole setup were pretty satisfying, so I wanted to introduce it to you 😊
How many people do you need for free drinks at Daepae Sinhwa's 369 event?
The 369 event at Daepae Sinhwa gives you 1 free bottle of alcohol for 3 or more people, 2 bottles for 6 or more, and a whopping 4 bottles for 9 or more. You can choose between soju and beer. "369" probably sounds like a random string of numbers, but it was the first thing that caught my eye.
- 1 free bottle for groups of 3 or more
- 2 free bottles for groups of 6 or more
- 4 free bottles for groups of 9 or more
Since you can pick soju or beer, it's perfect for company dinners (hoesik) and get-togethers. Just hit the headcount and your drink bill drops a lot, which makes it a pretty attractive deal 😆
Daepae Sinhwa lunch all-you-can-eat: price and hours
The lunch special at Daepae Sinhwa is all-you-can-eat Korean pork belly ssam rice (쌈밥, meat wrapped in leafy greens with rice). On weekdays from 11:30 to 15:00 it's ₩12,900 for 90 minutes. This is the other big draw here! Considering prices these days, isn't that almost too good to be true?
90 minutes is plenty to eat at a relaxed pace, so there's no pressure. Office lunches, budget-friendly meals, daytime meetups with friends: it covers all of them, so it's no wonder it's popular.
Weekday dinner: thin-sliced pork belly at ₩4,900 per 100g
If you visit Daepae Sinhwa on a weekday evening, you can order thin-sliced pork belly (daepae samgyeopsal) at ₩4,900 per 100g instead of the lunch all-you-can-eat. Sadly we went on a weekday evening, so we couldn't try the all-you-can-eat, but we ordered the pork belly instead. At ₩4,900 per 100g, it was easy to order several servings without worrying about the bill.
Is the Daepae Sinhwa salad bar worth ₩1,500?
The salad bar costs an extra ₩1,500, but personally it was the part I liked most. Once you see what's in it, the price makes sense. There's a really wide variety of ssam greens, with lettuce and perilla leaves as the basics, and everything was very fresh.
There are pickled onions, spring onion salad, kimchi, mushrooms, bean sprouts, bracken and pickled radish wraps (ssammu), so it's fun to pick whatever you like.
Is Daepae Sinhwa okay for big groups?
The Seochang-dong branch of Daepae Sinhwa is quite spacious and comfortable, so visiting as a group is no problem. The tables are spaced nicely, so we could eat comfortably. I thought it would work well for a family meal, a gathering with friends or a company dinner.
5 servings of pork belly grilled with kimchi and bean sprouts
We ordered 5 servings of thin-sliced pork belly at Daepae Sinhwa, and the look of the meat the moment it arrived was already a pass. As soon as the thinly sliced pork hit the grill it started sizzling, and just that sound and smell meant half the battle was won 🔥
Grill kimchi and bean sprouts alongside and you get a truly perfect combination. The pork fat, the savory depth of the kimchi and the crunch of the sprouts come together so well that you keep reaching for more. In the end I added a bowl of rice too and had a really filling meal.
Where do Daepae Sinhwa's meat and vegetables come from?
Daepae Sinhwa says it uses domestic grade 1 female pigs slaughtered the same day, then flash-frozen. This kind of care for ingredients is one reason a Seochang-dong BBQ place feels trustworthy. Freshness aside, when I actually ate it, the clean taste with no gamey smell left an impression.
They also say the vegetables are sourced directly from the Namchon-dong produce market and never reused, so you can feel at ease about hygiene too. I was also impressed that they choose better vegetables even when they cost more.
They reportedly make their sauces in-house too, so I think even people visiting with kids can enjoy it without worry. Overall, my strong impression was of a Seochang-dong BBQ place that is cheap but not careless, where real care goes into the food.
Daepae Sinhwa opening hours and final verdict
Daepae Sinhwa is open Monday to Saturday from 11:30 to 23:00 and closed every Sunday. If you're looking for a good BBQ place in Seochang-dong, give Daepae Sinhwa a try, lunch all-you-can-eat included. You might drop in casually and end up a regular 😉
