Come down from the ballpark entrance and it is across from Yeokjeon Halmeoni Maekju; use a nearby public parking lot. For the restroom, I went outside and up the stairs at the entrance of the karaoke building on the left. It is a shared building restroom, so each restroom has the shop name written in front of it! ![Exterior and surrounding location of Smile Hall Sanho Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-01-mk6jz-1200.webp) If you come down toward Yeokjeon Halmeoni Maekju by the ballpark entrance, ta-da—there is this wonderfully green shop right across the way.

Smile today, too 😀 Every table comes with salt, pepper, seasoning sauce, and napkins, and the stools have lids that open. There are round tables and square group tables for several people, though the inner square tables may be reserved for groups, so I recommend calling ahead if you want one ~ I sat at a round table by the window. ![Window-side round table with standard table items](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-06-13zul-966.webp) Flash-frozen pork belly ₩9,000 / flash-frozen flower-cut pork belly ₩9,500 / kimchi stew ₩7,000. Overall, the prices are very reasonable haha. Do not forget: leave a receipt review and you get a complimentary drink or highball! ![Menu information for flash-frozen pork belly and kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-07-1hcx7-966.webp) ## Same-day-slaughtered flash-frozen pork belly and plentiful side dishes The flagship is Binggeure Hall in Seok-dong, Jinhae. I am fairly sensitive to ingredients because I sometimes get an upset stomach after eating meat that has been quick-frozen like frozen pork belly. Smile Hall says it flash-freezes Grade 1 pork belly slaughtered that same day. Fresh ingredients: approved. So good. ![Information about same-day-slaughtered flash-frozen pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-08-88x6i-966.webp) After you order, a generous spread of banchan (Korean side dishes) arrives on a cozy silver tray. Is this not exactly the retro table spread that looks as if its legs might break under the food at your country grandma's house.. While nibbling on rolled omelet and kimchi pancake as we waited for the meat ~ the soy-sauce egg-yolk sauce beside the shredded scallions was truly the key.. Just writing this makes me want it again. ![Meat side dishes served on a silver tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-09-oqz7v-966.webp) ![Rolled omelet and kimchi pancake side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-10-9u1lp-966.webp) ## Savory, clean-tasting frozen pork belly without any odor Here comes the fresh, same-day-slaughtered flash-frozen pork belly! We diligently caught the rendered fat in a paper cup while grilling it ~ They have posted that they do not grill everything for you, but we came just after opening when it was a little quiet, so a staff member grilled it for us! ![Flash-frozen pork belly grilling on the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-11-zybc2-966.webp) Ah... the visuals are seriously legendary, right? ㅜ Since it is frozen pork belly, it cooked quickly, making it easy to wrap and eat right away. Best of all, it was savory and clean-tasting with no off smell, so it did not feel heavy ~ Add salt and pepper to your taste! ![Cooked frozen pork belly and a spread of wrap vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-12-aqasr-966.webp) I ate it in total bliss, like Giyeong with his bananas... insanely delicious (p) ![Flash-frozen pork belly enjoyed as a wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall-13-1xjqv-966.webp) ## Extra wrap vegetables and kimchi stew When you enjoy frozen pork belly like this, the ssam vegetables for wraps disappear in no time, but the staff thoughtfully brought us more right away haha. After eating our fill for quite a while, we added a bowl of rice each with kimchi stew.. The kimchi stew was also movingly delicious ㅜ If you have no particular menu or restaurant in mind, how about pork belly—the familiar flavor we all know, but a national favorite that is delicious anytime? I recommend dropping by Smile Hall Sanho Branch for an easy visit and a happy end to the day ♥ ## Where it is - Smile Hall Sanho Branch (스마일회관) - 18-1 Sanhobuk 17-gil, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 창원시 마산합포구 산호북17길 18-1 1층 스마일회관 - 35.2204634, 128.5837643 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%A4%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%BC%ED%9A%8C%EA%B4%80/@35.2204634,128.5837643,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@salt-air-supper/masan-sanho-dong-frozen-pork-smilehall/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
