As the weather turns cooler, I seem to be eating more grilled food than before. Today, I want to share the menu and food quality at a great restaurant in Gueui that my family and I visit often. For reference, this is a restaurant whose main specialty is sotttukkeong samgyeopsal—pork belly grilled on a cast-iron pot lid.

## Outside and location of Sanggu's Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal Gueui Branch

Today's destination is Sanggu's Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal Gueui Branch (상구네솥뚜껑삼겹살 구의점), a popular restaurant in Gueui. This Korean BBQ restaurant uses top-grade domestic female pork and is very popular with local residents. It is close to Exit 1 of Gangbyeon Station on Subway Line 2, and many people stop by after coming to see a movie at nearby Techno Mart.

It is open from 11 AM until 2 AM, with last orders at 1 AM. The yellow sign makes it easy to spot even from a distance.

## A busy dining room and self-service bar, even late at night

Even though we arrived well after dinner time, there were still lots of people eating in the dining room. It really is a popular local spot in Gueui.

Inside, there is an aging room for the meat and a self-service bar with 12 kinds of ssam vegetables—fresh leaves for wrapping meat. Prices have risen so much lately that more BBQ restaurants apparently do not even provide lettuce or perilla leaves, but this place is really impressive.

There is also a separate self-service bar stocked only with side dishes. You can take as much pickled radish wrap, kimchi, onion, Cheongyang chili, and more as you like back to your table. Small plates and tongs are provided there too.

## Half-Board Set and aged fresh meat prices

This Gueui restaurant is especially well known for good value. The set menus are very well put together too. The Half-Board Set I ordered that day came with minari, fresh pork belly, fresh pork neck, and two draft beers for only ₩43,000.

For individual orders, fresh pork belly and pork neck aged for three days cost ₩7,900 per serving. It feels like a price list you simply do not see at restaurants these days.

## Generous basic side dishes and wrap vegetables

Good value does not mean they just throw things together here. A generous spread of various side dishes and vegetables arrives at the table.

The staff set everything up at first, then you can bring more from the self-service bar afterward. The seasoned bean sprouts are especially this restaurant's signature. They are good on their own, but even better grilled with the meat.

This kimchi is made to be grilled. The more it is coated in pork belly fat and cooked, the more its flavor doubles.

Even the water is not ordinary. They serve hovenia tea, and perhaps because it is so nicely chilled, it goes down wonderfully.

![Self-service corner with a variety of wrap vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/guui-sotdukeong-samgyeopsal-sanggu/guui-sotdukeong-samgyeopsal-sanggu-12-1i217-900.webp)

The ssam vegetable corner has such fresh, varied vegetables. I honestly do not think there is another place nearby in Gueui that serves them like this. Grilling enoki mushrooms and zucchini with the pot-lid pork belly is seriously delicious.

This is minari, which is great to add after the meat has finished cooking. Its aroma is truly incredible. It looks as if it was just pulled from a field.

## The Half-Board Set, grilled by the staff

Finally, the popular Half-Board Set was placed on the grill at this Gueui restaurant. Onions, bracken, kimchi, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and more surrounded the meat.

One reason Sanggu's Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal is so popular is its crisp draft beer. It tastes far better than what you get at most specialist beer pubs. That is also why this is a Gueui favorite among people who enjoy a drink.

Best of all, the staff grill not only the meat but the vegetables too. They even cut everything into easy-to-eat pieces. That makes it great for eating with family while carrying on a conversation. For moms and dads with young children especially, this is a comfortable Gueui restaurant for a meal.

Sanggu's Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal also has a clever piece of equipment of its own. A barrier around the grill keeps grease from splashing outward. I have honestly never seen this at another Korean BBQ restaurant, and thanks to it, not a drop of grease splashes onto your clothes or body.

![Grease-splash barrier around the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/guui-sotdukeong-samgyeopsal-sanggu/guui-sotdukeong-samgyeopsal-sanggu-18-qb4i1-900.webp)

Let's eat~! The meal was ready once the minari went on at the end. Since they cooked everything for us, we could have a draft beer and chat right up until then.

The moment you place the beautifully grilled meat on fragrant ssam vegetables and take a bite, a smile naturally appears. As expected, eating it with good vegetables somehow makes you eat even more meat.

![Kimchi and bean sprout fried rice stir-fried on a pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/guui-sotdukeong-samgyeopsal-sanggu/guui-sotdukeong-samgyeopsal-sanggu-20-ardnc-900.webp)

Now it is a global K-food that even foreigners know: fried rice. With bean sprouts, kimchi, and more in it, stir-frying it on the pot lid creates a flavor on a totally different level from fried rice made on a regular grill. Everything, from the service to the food, felt satisfying at this Gueui restaurant.
