What Ssosam 208 looks like from the street

Ssosam 208 Siheung Baegot Branch is on the 1st floor of Dain Royal Palace 4, and the sky-blue sign stands out even from far away haha. It's a Baegot grill-for-you meat place, so you can eat comfortably haha.

A double-impact restaurant that's appeared on TV several times, plus a Baegot Blue Ribbon pick, and even doubly selected on Kelly!

Good to note the Ssosam 208 hours too~ open late until 2am, so if you're looking for a Baegot bar/late spot, this is it!

The restroom is the shared restroom for the building haha.

Inside Ssosam 208: is it good for group dinners?

Ssosam 208's interior is spacious with a high ceiling, giving it a pleasant feel for a Baegot, Siheung restaurant! Lots of tables too, so it's popular both for casual meals and Baegot group dinners~ Arrived a bit early so there were plenty of empty tables, but by the time we left it was nearly full — living up to its name as a Baegot pork belly hotspot!

There's also a pre-grilling area, where they say top-grade Hanwoo pork is first seared over 500°C charcoal to lock in the juices, then grilled a second time at 208°C haha.

Clean disposable aprons hang on the wall, and there's space inside the chairs, good for storing belongings or clothes~ even bags for storing garments!

On the table are napkins, paper cups, and a bottle opener,

and a set of utensils in a drawer under the table~

Ssosam 208's own grill plate seems to play a part in cooking the meat so well haha. Tips for eating better at Ssosam 208 are also written on the table, so worth checking out haha.

They also bring cold water and damp wet wipes haha. You order easily via the kiosk at each table, and pay all at once on the way out!

Side dishes and free myeongi namul refills

The side dishes came out quickly~

Perilla leaf (myeongi namul) and wrap vegetables, essential with meat~ at this Baegot pork belly spot, myeongi namul refills are free!

Garlic wasabi sauce, ssamjang (dipping paste), jjulan spice, Maldon salt, and various other dips for the meat, plus salted shrimp, and grilled garlic, bean sprouts, and kimchi~

They also serve warm rice noodle soup as a complimentary side, and the clean broth is appealing haha. Apparently you can get one refill!

Zero Sprite (₩2,500) — carbonation is a must with meat! Not many places have zero-sugar Sprite, so cider fans will be satisfied haha.

Rice (₩1,000) — nice that the rice has black rice mixed in haha.

300g marbled pork belly and 200g ogyeopsal, grilled for you

With the set menu, the pork belly 300g came out along with ogyeopsal 200g~ the marbled pork belly is at the bottom, and the marbled ogyeopsal is in the middle!

It comes pre-seared, so you can eat it soon after, and the staff grilled it from start to finish, so it's very easy to eat comfortably~

There's a separate section for grilling kimchi and bean sprouts, topped with spicy powder — perfectly suited to Korean tastes and great alongside the meat haha.

They also grill asparagus and onion together~ the skilled staff member's grilling technique was a work of art haha.

The visual of it browning up golden... hard to resist if you go on a really empty stomach lol.

Once the meat is nicely browned, it's placed on the slightly raised section of the grill so it doesn't burn haha.

First charcoal-seared, then grilled a second time — the visual of the meat at this Baegot ogyeopsal spot is chewy with juices bursting out...

Thick-cut for a satisfying bite, and the juices burst out while staying soft and chewy in both the pork belly and ogyeopsal... paired with kimchi, bean sprouts, various vegetables, and the fun of dipping into several sauces haha.

Samgyeop fondue kimchi stew: how does the squid-ink bread dip taste?

After enjoying the grilled meat a good while, out came the pot and a huge squid-ink bread..! Domestic aged kimchi, slow-cooked for 20 minutes in a pressure cooker! The portion is genuinely generous lol. Loaded with meat too..!!!

Pork kimchi jjim paired with bread is an unusual combo, but in the end — delicious!! lol

First, the kimchi jjim is made with well-fermented domestic aged kimchi, so the seasoning is delicious, the pork has no off-smell and is tender — eaten with rice, it's a total rice-thief~

And inside the squid-ink bread is cheese — dipping it into the kimchi jjim turned out to pair surprisingly well! A real standout dish haha.

Is Ssosam 208 Siheung Baegot worth it?

With a spacious interior and high ceiling, there's no stuffy feeling, so it's a pleasant place to eat, and with plenty of tables it's great for both casual meals and group dinners in Baegot, Siheung~

Top-grade Hanwoo pork is charcoal pre-seared and then grilled a second time, so the juices stay locked in and the texture is properly chewy — a Baegot pork spot, and one where staff grill it for you from start to finish, so you can eat comfortably — a Baegot go-to!

Juicy, chewy pork belly and ogyeopsal are great, but the kimchi jjim eaten with fondue is also a standout dish haha. The staff were kind too, making for a pleasant meal — this Baegot meat spot, Ssosam 208 Siheung Baegot Branch, highly recommend!
