It's the spot in Jayang-dong where you can eat as much fresh wrap greens as you want — thick-cut pork belly, a giant iron lid, and all kinds of wrap greens on unlimited refill. Here's my honest review and what I liked about it. ## Where is Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal, and what is the restaurant like? Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal is near Seongja Elementary School in Jayang-dong, inside the Jayang Skyview Verre commercial building. The yellow sign is easy to spot, and with draft beer at ₩1,900, there was no way I wasn't going in, haha. ![Yellow sign of Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal in the Jayang Skyview Verre commercial building](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-01-1nh9n-m-1024.webp) The interior had wide spacing between tables, so it was comfortable and pleasant to eat in, and with everything from 4-tops to large group tables, it'd be great for family dinners as well as neighborhood gatherings or work dinners! ![Interior of Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal with wide spacing between tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-02-50eg2-966.webp) ## What comes in the iron-lid half-set at Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal? The menu has set options that make ordering easy. The iron-lid half-set is pork belly + pork neck + pork jowl + pork skin, which was perfect for the two of us. ![Set menu board listing the iron-lid half-set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-03-1vwh6-966.webp) There were also à la carte options like skirt steak and premium beef short rib. ![Menu board listing skirt steak and premium beef short rib](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-04-10vvy-966.webp) Pork belly and pork neck were also on the menu, so we could enjoy both pork and beef in different ways. ![Menu board listing pork belly and pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-05-b2pam-966.webp) Ordering was easy through the table kiosk! With set menus available, there's no need to agonize over the order, and this place is surprisingly good for sides too — the doenjang jjigae, fried rice, and water/spicy cold noodles were all delicious. ![Table kiosk screen for ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-06-1gnfq-966.webp) ![Side menu screen showing doenjang jjigae and cold noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-07-ygqcm-966.webp) The basic side dishes come out like this, and whatever you run low on you can just grab unlimited amounts of from the self-bar~! ![Basic side dishes set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-08-1jmie-854.webp) ## Is the wrap-greens self-bar really unlimited? The biggest strength of Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal is easily its variety of fresh wrap greens at the self-bar. Lettuce and perilla leaves are the basics, and beyond that there are refreshing, slightly bitter greens rarely seen at BBQ places — kale, red chard, angelica, chicory — all neatly arranged. The vegetables were kept so fresh that I never got tired of them the whole time we were eating meat, which was very satisfying. ![Self-bar with kale, chicory and other wrap greens neatly arranged](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-09-13b2l-966.webp) ## How does pork belly grilled on the iron lid taste? Maybe because it's run by a livestock company, the meat quality was really good. It came out sliced thick, and once it hit the iron lid it grilled up crispy outside and juicy inside, packed with flavor. ![Plate of thick-cut raw pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-10-12vpi-966.webp) A big iron lid is set up at every table, which holds heat well and cooks the meat juicy all the way through. Underneath, where the pork belly's juices drip down, they grill kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, garlic and mushrooms together. The kimchi and bean sprouts, browned in pork fat on the iron lid, are a perfect match with the pork belly! ![Pork belly grilling on the iron lid alongside kimchi and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-11-2a7sq-1200.webp) I'm firmly Team Fatty, and the lean-to-fat ratio really matters to me — Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal was so nutty-tasting without being greasy, it was genuinely delicious ㅠㅠㅠ ### How to keep the pork tender down to the last bite Here's a little tip: when you order meat, they grill it all for you at first, but if you only cook part of it and grill the rest later, the meat won't get tough and you can enjoy it tender all the way through! That's your medium-well fan signing off, haha. ![쌈채소에 올려 먹는 구운 삼겹살 한 점](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-12-1gbzj-966.webp) ## Doenjang jjigae and kimchi noodle soup: the sides that steal the meal Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal, the pork belly spot in Jayang-dong, really has killer sides... You have to order the doenjang jjigae — it's packed with tofu, zucchini and mushrooms! ![Doenjang jjigae with tofu and zucchini](https://img.superchart.com/images/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal-13-13oc0-966.webp) And this kimchi noodle soup,,, it's not a bland, watery kimchi-mul-guksu, it's genuinely rich and deep, so when the meat starts feeling greasy, one bite of this and you just can't stop eating it. ## No room for the fried rice this time After finishing the meat, the self-cooked seasoned fried rice made on the iron lid is also a must, but I was too full to have any ㅠ Leftover grilled kimchi, bean sprouts, and small bits of meat get stir-fried together, forming that signature iron-lid crust that maximizes the nuttiness. Pair it with the savory doenjang jjigae for a clean, perfect finish. If you want to enjoy hearty, healthy meat in Jayang-dong, I strongly recommend 'Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal'. Come feel the combination of filling pork belly and fresh wrap greens for yourself! Jayang-dong used to be a food desert, but good restaurants keep popping up now, and this pork belly spot, Ssamchae Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal, is definitely one I'd recommend. ## 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/@paper-napkin-5/jayang-dong-ssamchae-pot-lid-samgyeopsal/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
