At lunch, the steak pot rice (17,000 won) and the freshwater eel pot rice (25,000 won) arrived as individual trays, each set with its own side dishes matched to the main pot. With tablet ordering at every table and a nurungji (scorched rice tea) finish, Solsot Sangam Branch made for a satisfying, easy-on-the-stomach Korean lunch in Sangam. ## Good to know - **Address**: B1, Unit 101, 75 Maebongsan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 16:00–17:00 - **Parking**: 30 minutes free in the building, plus 30 minutes when you dine in - **Steak pot rice**: 17,000 won - **Freshwater eel pot rice**: 25,000 won - **Reservation perk**: Free fried shrimp or yurinchi (fried chicken in citrus soy sauce) with a Naver reservation for 3 or more after 17:00 - **Ordering**: Tablet ordering at every table *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* I went back to Solsot Sangam Branch, a lunch spot in Sangam I visit often.

Solsot Sangam Branch has well set-up private rooms for anyone looking for a private-room restaurant in Sangam or a spot for a Sangam DMC team dinner! I'd recommend the space for team dinners or important gatherings. ![Tablet ordering device installed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-07-qlbus-690.webp) ## What we ordered: steak pot rice and freshwater eel pot rice Every table has a tablet for ordering, so I could take my time browsing the menu and order comfortably. After some deliberating, 🤔 - 👉 Steak pot rice (₩17,000) - 👉 Freshwater eel pot rice (₩25,000) we ended up ordering the two signature dishes! ![Individual tray table at Solsot Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-08-1bqqk-864.webp) ![Tray with pot rice and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-09-1553m-891.webp) Ta-da ✨ After a short wait, a neatly arranged individual tray table came out! The moment the pot lid came off, steam rose and a savory smell hit — my mouth was watering instantly. ![Pot rice with lid open and steam rising](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-10-1lws0-876.webp) ![Close-up of freshly cooked pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-11-kpfi1-764.webp) ### Steak pot rice, 17,000 won First, my pick — the signature steak pot rice! Thick, generously cut slices of steak were packed densely on top of the rice 👍🏻 ![Steak pot rice piled with steak slices](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-12-12yh1-792.webp) ![Steak pot rice topped with egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-13-2seg3-789.webp) You pop the pretty egg yolk in the middle, add butter and the special sauce, mix it all together, scoop it into the bowl provided, pour hot broth into the pot, and close the lid! This special soy sauce is truly the cheat code 🤎 Instead of pouring it all in at once, add it little by little after mixing the rice, or dip into it — it seasons things just right and tastes even better. ![Steak pot rice with special soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-14-ulmcx-744.webp) ![Mixed steak pot rice scooped into a bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-15-1k45w-806.webp) Piling the steak with wasabi, jeotgal (salted seafood), and kimchi onto one bite was so good — the juices burst in my mouth .. 🤤🤤 Served neatly as an individual tray, this felt like the perfect setup for a lunch spot, meeting, or gathering in Sangam. ![A spoonful of rice topped with a piece of steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-16-zj7p1-711.webp) ![Steak pot rice served with kimchi and jeotgal](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-17-13onx-745.webp) ![Full individual tray of steak pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-18-1ed6x-808.webp) ### Freshwater eel pot rice, 25,000 won Next, the freshwater eel pot rice my companion ordered. Glossy, generously seasoned eel piled on top — no fishy taste at all, and the eel was so tender that I was very satisfied with this dish! ![Freshwater eel pot rice topped with seasoned eel](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-19-jqrlg-852.webp) ## Why each pot rice comes with different side dishes One detail I noticed while eating: ✨ the eel pot rice came with mountain leek (myeongi-namul), pickled ginger, wasabi, and perilla leaves, while the steak pot rice came with kimchi, jeotgal, and pickled chili peppers! Each pot rice is set with sides that suit its character, which makes this a safe choice for an important meal, a Sangam wedding invitation meeting spot, or a gathering 👏🏻👏🏻 ![Mountain leek and pickled ginger side dishes served with eel pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-20-gvd5r-827.webp) ![A spoonful of rice topped with eel and shredded perilla leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-21-1fv0k-768.webp) ![Close-up of freshwater eel pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-22-3ofbh-759.webp) The special eel sauce wasn't overly sweet or salty, so it worked well with the rice — piling eel, pickled ginger, shredded perilla leaf, and mountain leek onto the rice, I never got tired of it right to the end! Perfect as a restorative lunch 👍🏻✨ After cleaning the main pot rice, we finished with a savory nurungji sugungnyung (scorched rice tea) ~~ 😳 Emptying a bowl of that left my stomach so comfortable and completely satisfied. On top of that, the various side dishes served alongside the pot rice! Every detail of the setup showed care, making for a substantial individual tray that works well for office workers' meals — Solsot Sangam Branch was a top choice for Korean food in Sangam-dong. ![Nurungji scorched rice tea after finishing the pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-23-w64h8-815.webp) ![Final state of the individual tray at Solsot Sangam Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak/solsot-sangam-private-room-lunch-eel-steak-24-btl2y-900.webp) ## The free dish you get for reserving after 17:00 Last tip: reserve for 3 or more people via Naver Reservations after 17:00, and you get free fried shrimp or yurinchi — if you have an evening gathering in Sangam, book ahead and check it out! ## Is Solsot Sangam Branch worth it for lunch in Sangam? The atmosphere is clean and the pot rice is delicious, so I think I'll keep coming back here for lunch or gatherings in Sangam.
