Lamb restaurant with free 2-hour parking in Dasan: Jin 1926 Dasan

Hello! Lamb ribs are one of my favorite meats as a die-hard carnivore..! I need to eat lamb ribs regularly, but it's sad that lamb BBQ restaurants with tableside grilling seem to be disappearing these days T.T So when I found a Genghis Khan-style lamb specialty restaurant right near Dasan Station, I had to check it out. This is Jin 1926, a lamb restaurant near Dasan Station.

Where is Jin 1926 Dasan Branch, and where do you park?

Jin 1926 Dasan Branch is a lamb ribs restaurant right near Dasan subway station, in the Dasan Station food alley. It's easy to reach by public transit, and if you're driving, it's convenient to just search for Sinhae Central Tower 4.

At Jin 1926, the entrance down to the basement parking lot behind Sinhae Central Tower is right in view. The building right next door is the basement parking entrance for Sinhae Central Tower 1, so if it's your first time, be careful not to get them mixed up!

The basement parking lot runs from B1 to B2, and when I visited on a weekday evening, there was plenty of parking space! Whether you're coming for a company dinner or a small get-together, it looks easy to use if you're driving.

Inside the 2nd-floor dining room and its seating

Jin 1926 Dasan Branch is on the 2nd floor of the building, so just take the elevator up. With its soft lighting and upscale vibe, it was actually a great spot for a date too, haha. By the way, Jin 1926's hours are 4pm to 11pm every day, so it's a lamb restaurant that stays open pretty late!

There are bar-table seats that are comfortable for two,

and table seating for groups of three or more! Overall the place was kept clean with no lingering meat smell, so even people who are sensitive to that can enjoy lamb ribs without worry.

There's a nice touch where you can store bags or coats in storage boxes right under the seats. They also had clear bags ready, so even a neat freak like me could eat without worrying about my clothes smelling like meat, haha.

Side dishes and the complimentary stir-fried bean sprouts

If you reserve ahead, they set up the side dishes right on time for your arrival. Jin 1926's own tidy spread of banchan (side dishes), haha. The pickled radish and mustard leaf kimchi that cut through the richness of the lamb were seriously delicious.

And as a complimentary starter they bring out a huge plate of bean sprouts stir-fried with spicy peppers, which was honestly the real MVP T.T The crunchy bean sprouts paired so well with the lamb ribs.

What is on the Jin 1926 Dasan Branch menu?

Here's the menu and prices at Jin 1926, a lamb restaurant near Dasan. There's a 2-person drink set that's great for couples having a few drinks on a date, all the way up to a 4-person set for enjoying a variety of cuts with a bigger group!

And from Jin 1926's premium French rack to lamb ribs and lamb sirloin, and lamb chuck flap, all the lamb is said to be Australian chilled meat, using only high-quality cuts.

There's also a wine menu alongside various liquors, great for pairing! Corkage is available too, so if you have a favorite drink at home, I'd recommend bringing it along to enjoy with the lamb ribs.

Brazier grilling by staff and the grease splatter guard

All the lamb is grilled over a charcoal brazier. At Jin 1926 there's a splatter guard in front of the brazier, so throughout the grilling I never got hit by any oil splatter and could eat comfortably T.T I really love this kind of small thoughtful touch.

From king oyster mushrooms that grill nicely alongside the lamb, to shishito peppers and garlic and other garnishes..! They refilled them when we ran low, so we kept eating away happily, haha.

French rack and lamb ribs, one serving each

First I ordered one serving each of French rack, the top-tier cut of lamb, and lamb ribs. By the way, all of Jin 1926's lamb is raised in Australia under one year old and delivered chilled by air freight, so you can really trust the quality..!

You could tell just from the marbling and color of the meat that it couldn't possibly be anything but delicious.

All the meat is grilled from start to finish by the staff, so you just get to sit back and eat, which is so nice, haha. Each cut of lamb has its own optimal doneness, and they grilled everything just right.

Once cooked, they portion it onto your small plate like this! The first cut they grilled was the French rack~_~ It's the smallest-quantity, premium cut of lamb, so you absolutely have to try it if you visit a lamb restaurant, haha.

Even dipped only in the finest Maldon salt, it practically melts in your mouth the moment you bite in T.T I could immediately tell why it's the premium cut. Crispy outside, tender inside — so good I feel like I could eat 10 servings of French rack alone..!

They grill the meat to match the pace at which you're eating, so you never feel rushed, which was really nice, haha. Next up: lamb ribs!

Lamb ribs are all about the chew! Being young lamb, it wasn't tough at all — springy and savory T.T Bursting with juice, haha. I could tell exactly why this is a well-known lamb spot near Dasan.

The extra order of lamb sirloin

It was so much more delicious than I expected that I wanted to try another cut, so I ordered the lamb sirloin! Not many places serve lamb sirloin, so I'd recommend trying it if you come to Jin 1926, haha.

The staff laid it onto the grill and cooked it to perfection, haha, and again cut it into perfectly bite-sized pieces, haha.

Compared to the tender rib meat, the lamb sirloin definitely had a chewier, cleaner flavor that stood out. Eating it together with the grilled king oyster mushroom garnish made the burst of juices pair even better with the mushroom's texture.

To finish, we even tore into the French rack bone... Everyone, I think we might have been waiting this whole time just to eat this rib bone(?). The savory fat and meat disappeared in my mouth the moment I took a bite T.T.T The real charm of French rack..! It's the best, everyone, you have to try it T.T Eat it twice.

Is Jin 1926 Dasan Branch worth it for lamb near Dasan Station?

Lamb has that distinctive gamey smell, and even slightly cheaper lamb tends to smell right away, but at Jin 1926 near Dasan you can really feel that they use top-quality lamb — it was seriously delicious! Next time I want to bring my parents here to let them try lamb too. With 2 hours of free parking included, this is a lamb restaurant near Dasan I'd recommend for a stress-free meal.
