As the name suggests, this place is mainly known for iron-lid grilled pork belly (솥뚜껑삼겹살). Personally, when I eat pork belly, I prefer pairing it with fresh vegetables rather than just eating meat nonstop, so I'd had my eye on this place for a while. ## Where is Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal and when is it open? > Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal ![Exterior of Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal near Guui Station Exit 4](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-02-1r7da-900.webp) Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal is within walking distance from Guui Station Exit 4. ![Business hours posted at Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-03-1ookb-900.webp) It's open daily from 12pm to 12am, and closed every Monday. ![Spacious dining hall inside Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-04-syf7b-900.webp) ![4-person tables inside Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-05-1469h-900.webp) The interior is really spacious with 4-person tables.

From basics like lettuce to several kinds of fresh vegetables, you can grab as much as you want, and there's also unlimited grilling vegetables to cook alongside the meat. Usually ordering extra wrap greens with meat feels like it adds up, but here you can just help yourself as much as you like, haha! For someone like me who wraps a big lettuce bundle for every bite of meat, this place is exactly my type! ![Table set with basic side dishes at a Korean BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-11-5517p-900.webp) ![Pork belly table spread with wrap greens and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-12-lk9a2-900.webp) ![Table set up with a charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-13-87sie-900.webp) ![Full table spread at Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-14-1lunv-900.webp) ## Pork belly for two, swapped from the iron lid to the charcoal brazier This time I thought about ordering the signature iron-lid pork belly, but decided to switch it up and order charcoal-grilled pork belly instead. What we ordered was - Charcoal-grilled pork belly for 2 - Doenjang stew (soybean paste stew) - Steamed egg - 2 glasses of ₩1,900 draft beer That's what we ordered! ![Pork belly for two on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-15-1wixl-900.webp) ![Pork belly turning golden brown on charcoal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-16-1pm4v-900.webp) ![Thick-cut pork belly cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-17-1wxxy-900.webp) ![Fully grilled charcoal pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-18-1farx-900.webp) Watching the pork belly turn golden brown on the charcoal grill made my mouth water just looking at it, hahaha. The pork belly was thick enough to have a good chew, and the crispy edges were nutty and full of juice — delicious. Piling on a generous amount of wrap greens, adding a piece of meat, plus garlic and side dishes — pork belly really is all about the wrap. ![Wrap greens loaded with pork belly and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-19-14rei-900.webp) I also grilled the vegetables alongside the meat, and as they cooked in the rendered pork fat, they turned out to be a surprisingly nice treat. Eating vegetables in between bites of meat cut through the richness, so I kept reaching for more. ![Vegetables grilling in rendered pork fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-20-1lrdv-900.webp) ## ₩1,900 draft beer at this Jayang-dong Korean BBQ Best of all, the draft beer was only ₩1,900, so pairing a glass with pork belly felt totally guilt-free. At that price, how could you not order a drink with your meat, hahaha. ![Draft beer served alongside pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-21-1a0sc-900.webp) ## Cheese-topped steamed egg and a hearty doenjang stew At Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal, a Jayang-dong Korean BBQ spot, I'd definitely recommend trying the steamed egg (계란찜) side dish too! I expected a plain steamed egg, but it came piled with cheese on top, making it even richer and softer. With the cheese melted into the piping hot steamed egg, it was much richer and nuttier than a regular steamed egg. Eating a bite of pork belly followed by a spoonful of steamed egg turned out to be a great combo. ![Steamed egg piled high with cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-22-ob3n8-900.webp) ![A spoonful of hot cheese steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-23-147lt-900.webp) The doenjang stew also came loaded with more ingredients than I expected — plenty of tofu, plus zucchini, mushrooms, and more, so it wasn't just a broth to sip but one where you get to pick through hearty chunks. It arrived bubbling hot, so having a spoonful of warm broth between bites of meat was comforting, and it made me want to eat it with rice too, haha. ![Doenjang stew loaded with tofu and zucchini](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal-24-1dk0n-900.webp) ## Who will enjoy this Jayang-dong pork belly restaurant? Personally, I love Korean BBQ places that offer generous side dishes, and with steamed egg and doenjang stew included, this turned into a pretty filling meal. What I liked just as much as the food was how kind the staff were! Every time I've visited, the staff have treated us so warmly that it made the whole meal more pleasant. That's part of why I keep coming back whenever I get the chance, haha. If you're looking for a pork belly restaurant in Jayang-dong, this unlimited wrap-greens Korean BBQ spot — with plenty of fresh vegetables to wrap and grill, not just meat — should suit you well. Iron-lid pork belly is the signature dish, but I'd also recommend trying the charcoal-grilled version like we did! Loading up on fresh wrap greens for the pork belly, grilling vegetables on the side, and finishing with cheese steamed egg and a hearty doenjang stew made for a very satisfying meal. ## Where it is - Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal (쌈채솥뚜껑삼겹살) - 55 Jayang-ro, 102-dong 103-ho, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 광진구 자양로 55 102동 103호 - 37.5322504, 127.0844859 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8C%88%EC%B1%84%EC%86%A5%EB%9A%9C%EA%BB%91%EC%82%BC%EA%B2%B9%EC%82%B4/@37.5322504,127.0844859,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@mullae-night-glass/jayang-dong-charcoal-grilled-samgyeopsal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
