Seated in the wide third-floor hall of the tile-roofed building, the writer started with the welcome gonggalbbang (hollow puffed bread), then had Tokyo tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork, small) at 20,000 won, galbi-jjim jajangmyeon at 25,000 won and handmade xiaolongbao at 8,000 won, with valet parking on the first floor. The buttery Tokyo tangsuyuk was the most memorable plate at Samsin Garosu-gil. ## Good to know - **Location**: 46 Gangnam-daero 156-gil, floors 2 and 3, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (3-minute walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8) - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–23:00, Fri–Sat 11:00–24:00 / break 16:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Valet on the first floor, 5,000 won for 2 hours (1,000 won per extra 10 minutes) - **Tokyo tangsuyuk (small)**: 20,000 won - **Galbi-jjim jajangmyeon**: 25,000 won - **Handmade xiaolongbao**: 8,000 won - **Seating**: Second-floor hall and rooms, wide third-floor hall, private room for groups - **Visit date**: August 30, 2026, 1:30 pm - **Price reference**: ₩5,000 ≈ $3.7 · ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* I was originally looking for dim sum when I discovered Samsin, a Korean-Chinese-Japanese fusion Chinese restaurant packed with delicious, distinctive dishes. This Sinsa Station favorite takes the best of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese food and blends it into Chinese cuisine — I loved it. ![Samsin Garosu-gil, a Korean-Chinese-Japanese fusion Chinese restaurant near Sinsa Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-01-19cf3-m-966.webp) ## How to find Samsin Garosu-gil and where to park This Sinsa Station Chinese restaurant, Samsin Garosu-gil, is a 3-minute walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8 — walk straight out of Exit 8, turn left at the entrance to Garosu-gil, and you'll find it easily on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a distinctive tile-roofed building. The sign reads 三神 (Samsin) in Chinese characters. ![The Samsin Garosu-gil building with a tile roof and 三神 sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-02-79ych-966.webp) Climbing the outdoor stairs to the 2nd-floor entrance, I was greeted by a stone statue at the doorway that made me feel like I'd walked into a Chinese temple haha. FYI, valet parking is available on the 1st floor of the building — ₩5,000 for 2 hours, plus ₩1,000 per extra 10 minutes. ## What the third-floor hall and seating are like Samsin Garosu-gil has a hall and rooms on the 2nd floor, but we were shown up to the even more spacious hall on the 3rd floor. The Asian-style interior paired with mint accents made for a great mood and a clean, tidy Chinese restaurant interior. It's open daily 11:00–23:00, Friday and Saturday until 24:00, with a break time from 16:00 to 17:00. Each table has its own well-divided space, so you can enjoy your meal privately. ![A divided table setup in the 3rd-floor hall of Samsin Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-03-vkgxb-966.webp) They also have a great private room for groups, and the course menus looked like solid value, so this place seems good for gatherings or work dinners too :) ![The private group room at Samsin Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-04-16934-966.webp) ![The Asian-style interior of Samsin Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-05-1n2h5-966.webp) ![Samsin Garosu-gil's menu and course lineup](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-06-15696-966.webp) ## What are the signature dishes at Samsin Garosu-gil? Signature dishes at this Sinsa Station Chinese restaurant, Samsin Garosu-gil, include Tokyo tangsuyuk finished with a honeycomb sauce, Beijing chicken (a reinterpretation of Peking duck), mapa chawanmushi (a meeting of Chinese mapo tofu and Japanese chawanmushi), gatkimchi mendbosha (crispy shrimp toast cut with Jeolla-do mustard leaf kimchi to balance the richness), and gochujang dongpo-yuk (Chinese braised pork belly reimagined with gochujang sauce and minari). These are inventive Korean-Chinese-Japanese fusion Chinese dishes you won't find anywhere else. 😊 > A Korean chef from a Michelin restaurant, a 30-year veteran Chinese cuisine master, an izakaya craftsman With masters of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine all coming together to build this place, doesn't the name Samsin (三神, 'three gods') fit perfectly! ![Table setting at Samsin Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-07-s21e0-966.webp) ![Gonggalbbang served as welcome food](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-08-15xxk-966.webp) ## Welcome food: gonggalbbang (hollow puffed bread) Samsin Garosu-gil served gonggalbbang as welcome food — crispy on the outside, and the sugar-cinnamon combo reminded me of the Chinese-style hotteok I love haha. There were two of us but only one came out, so we had to share it — it was so good I basically ate most of it haha. ![Crispy gonggalbbang with sugar and cinnamon aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-09-180vb-966.webp) ## Tokyo tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork, small), 20,000 won I thought the sauce, which came separately, would just be set down on the table, but the server poured it over the dish the moment it landed — I fumbled and just barely managed to snap one photo in time 😅 ![Tokyo tangsuyuk on a stone plate before the sauce is poured](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-10-1c4pu-1200.webp) > Tokyo Tangsuyuk (small) > Sweet and Sour Pork by Tokyo > ₩20,000 An homage to Tokyo steak — this is the tangsuyuk version of it, a fusion dish that adds a Japanese trend to traditional Chinese sweet and sour pork. The hot stone plate, the sweet and tangy sauce, and butter together — absolutely delicious! The fried coating was crispy, the meat inside juicy, and the sweet and tangy sauce was excellent too. ![A crispy-battered piece of Tokyo tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-11-pzlsf-966.webp) What made it even better was the rich buttery flavor added in. 😆 My friend, who always teases me for ordering tangsuyuk every time we go to a Chinese restaurant, admitted this was the best one yet haha. ![Tokyo tangsuyuk sauce with added butter flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-12-m5hrw-966.webp) ![Close-up of Tokyo tangsuyuk on the stone plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-13-4gocb-966.webp) ![A small plate of Tokyo tangsuyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-14-nc3ir-966.webp) Apparently a two-Michelin-star chef and a chef from hotel dining run the kitchen — no wonder the taste and quality were on another level 👍 ![A table spread of dishes at Samsin Garosu-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-15-jxay3-966.webp) ![Galbi-jjim jajangmyeon topped with braised short ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-16-1irf5-966.webp) ![A bowl of galbi-jjim jajangmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-17-1leka-966.webp) ## Galbi-jjim jajangmyeon (braised short ribs with black bean noodles), 25,000 won > Galbi-jjim Jajangmyeon > Braised Short Ribs Jjajangmyeon > ₩25,000 A chef's recommendation — a hearty jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) topped with tender braised short ribs. Adding Korean galbi-jjim (braised short ribs) on top of jajangmyeon elevated it into a much more upscale dish. ![Tender braised short ribs on top of jajangmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-18-16nj2-966.webp) ![Galbi-jjim jajangmyeon noodles before mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-19-1lgt8-966.webp) ![Vertical shot of galbi-jjim jajangmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-20-13st5-966.webp) ![Galbi-jjim jajangmyeon topped with chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-21-179vp-966.webp) The ribs were tender and savory, and the added chili gave the jajangmyeon a slight kick that cut through the richness. ![Galbi-jjim jajangmyeon mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-22-1dq81-966.webp) ![Handmade xiaolongbao made in-house](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-23-17jez-966.webp) ![The juicy filling inside a xiaolongbao](https://img.superchart.com/images/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion/samsin-garosugil-sinsa-chinese-fusion-24-1te54-966.webp) ## Handmade xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), 8,000 won > Handmade Xiaolongbao > Steamed Dumplings Filled with Hot Gravy and Minced Pork > ₩8,000 Dim sum made by hand in-house. Thin, handmade wrappers filled with minced meat — Chinese dumplings bursting with broth. I poured out the hot, savory broth and slurped it down, then enjoyed the juicy dumpling itself. With so many distinctive dishes on the menu, Samsin Garosu-gil, this Sinsa Station Chinese restaurant, made me want to try everything else too. But honestly, I want that tangsuyuk again haha.
