Today I'm introducing a place in Myeon-mok-dong called Daepan Sotddukkeong Kimchi Samgyeopsal! My friend and I found it while trying to decide on dinner after work. We both love meat, so as soon as we saw it we knew this was the one — went straight there haha. ![Entrance of Daepan Sotddukkeong Kimchi Samgyeopsal on a Friday evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-02-14mnm-900.webp) We went on a Friday evening and the place was really packed with customers. ![Waiting chairs outside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-03-1xgo9-900.webp) Luckily there were chairs set up outside, so we sat there and waited about 10 minutes before being seated! ![Interior of the restaurant full of customers](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-04-6g65v-m-900.webp) Once inside, the place was bigger than I expected, with lots of tables. ![Spacious hall with many tables inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-05-rakda-900.webp) ## Grilling your own kimchi pancake at the self-serve bar On one side of Daepan Sotddukkeong Kimchi Samgyeopsal there's a self-serve bar where you can freely help yourself to whatever you want — loved that! ![Self-serve bar corner for free use](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-06-15f8k-900.webp) You can even grill your own kimchi pancake there... amazing. ![Kimchi pancake ingredients at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-07-17j2f-900.webp) At our table, the side dishes plus kimchi and bean sprouts were already set up on the pot lid! ![Kimchi and bean sprouts set up on the pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-08-1hvxi-900.webp) Spoons and chopsticks are kept in the drawer, so just pull them out and use them. ![Spoons and chopsticks kept in the drawer](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-09-1lzwd-900.webp) ## What comes in the couple set for two Daepan Sotddukkeong Kimchi Samgyeopsal has a wide menu — from grilled meats to lunch specials to side dishes. ![Menu board listing meats and lunch specials](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-10-ke80r-900.webp) Since there were two of us, we ordered the couple set! The couple set comes with pork belly, pork neck, cheese grill, and steamed egg — great for sharing both meat and sides together. ![Pork belly and pork neck couple set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-11-u8yyy-900.webp) *@ Couple set (for 2)* After we ordered, the staff placed thick cuts of pork belly and pork neck on the pot lid. Once the meat went on, it really felt like a proper spread! ![Thick cuts of pork belly and pork neck placed on the pot lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-12-1r69c-900.webp) They grilled it carefully so the kimchi seasoning wouldn't burn 👌 I'm obsessed ........ ![Golden-brown grilled meat with kimchi and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-13-1j4fd-900.webp) Golden-brown, well-cooked meat with kimchi and bean sprouts 🤤 Both the pork belly and pork neck were juicy, not dry at all, and so delicious ㅠㅠ ## Free Gangwon-do makjang stew, steamed egg and fried rice to finish At Daepan Sotddukkeong Kimchi Samgyeopsal, Gangwon-do makjang (soybean paste) stew comes free of charge. ![Complimentary Gangwon-do makjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-14-rh5yr-900.webp) *@ Gangwon-do makjang stew* It's hard to believe this stew is complimentary — it was packed generously with tofu and vegetables! Eating a spoonful here and there between bites of meat kept things from feeling greasy, it was just right. ![Fluffy steamed egg served with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-15-cudld-900.webp) *@ Steamed egg* The steamed egg that came with it was so fluffy too, with just the right seasoning — delicious! ![Fried rice eaten to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-16-w1irv-900.webp) *@ Fried rice* Fried rice after meat is an unwritten rule! Even though we were pretty full already, we scraped the plate clean to the last bite hahaha. ![Yogurt and Febreze set out at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-17-7p61f-900.webp) On the way out, I noticed they even had yogurt and Febreze ready. I thought it was a nice touch, letting you freshen up right after the meal :) ![Sign for the 5-star review prize draw event](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-18-pwc4x-900.webp) ## What we won in the 5-star review prize draw Leave a 5-star review and you get to do a prize draw! ![Prize draw box for the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-19-1km9f-900.webp) The two of us deliberated hard... and picked one. ![Draw slip showing a 5th place result](https://img.superchart.com/images/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi-20-1ak51-900.webp) We were going for first place but... (?) we got 5th place and received a drink. ## Reservations, parking and pets: what to know before visiting Daepan Sotddukkeong - It can get busy on Friday or weekend evenings, and reservations are available, so I'd recommend booking ahead! - Pets are welcome if you have a carrier for small dogs. - If you're driving, check the parking info beforehand. - Corkage is not allowed! - There's group seating and private rental available too, so it looks good for work dinners or gatherings. Even on a Friday evening, the place was packed with people, which really confirmed it's a well-known neighborhood favorite for meat! Visiting with a friend and sharing everything made it even more delicious, and we left having had a proper, filling dinner for once. If you're looking for a place where you can grill great meat along with kimchi and bean sprouts on a pot lid, I highly recommend this one! ## Where it is - Daepan Sotddukkeong Kimchi Samgyeopsal (대판솥뚜껑김치삼겹살) - 614-1 Dongil-ro, 1st floor, Jungnang-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중랑구 동일로 614-1 1층 - 37.585239, 127.0801492 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8C%80%ED%8C%90%EC%86%A5%EB%9A%9C%EA%BB%91%EA%B9%80%EC%B9%98%EC%82%BC%EA%B2%B9%EC%82%B4/@37.585239,127.0801492,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-simmered-supper/myeonmok-dong-pork-belly-cauldron-kimchi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
