Even with a reservation, there was a wait of over 10 minutes on a packed Friday, but the pre-grilled pork belly, especially the juicy pork neck, and kkakdugi fried rice stood out. Verdict: worth the wait for the pork neck and fried rice. ## Good to know - **Location**: Near Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station - **Order**: 2 servings pork belly, 1 serving pork neck - **Meat price**: ₩51,000 - **Kkakdugi fried rice (2 servings)**: ₩10,000 - **Corkage**: Free - **Meat service**: Served pre-grilled - **San Modeum set**: For 2–3 or 3–4 people; pork belly, pork neck, and chewy pork cut - **Review event**: Maesil highball provided *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Yayyy, I made last-minute plans last Friday and had dinner at Sansol (산솔), a pork belly spot near Sinnonhyeon Station ᡣ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶𐭩 ~~♡ ![Dinner at Sansol Sinnonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-01-km1kr-966.webp) ## Sansol Sinnonhyeon, close to Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station Sansol Sinnonhyeon. It is suuuper close to Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station ✨✨ ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon near Sinnonhyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-02-1kf1y-966.webp) Korean BBQ, grilling late into the night - ![Late-night Korean barbecue notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-03-7hdbz-966.webp) ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon waiting-area information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-04-s86ok-966.webp) Things I looked at while waiting. It had the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's top hygiene rating, very excellent—so nice ✨ And apparently there is such a thing as a grilling meister. I do not know what it is, but it must be a good thing! ദ്ദി⸝⸝•̀֊•́⸝⸝) ![Hygiene rating and grilling meister information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-05-1s00h-966.webp) ![Things to see while waiting at Sansol Sinnonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-06-1ol90-966.webp) ## A trendy Korean BBQ restaurant packed on Friday What is this atmosphereee? 🧚🏻♀️ ![Interior atmosphere at Sansol Sinnonhyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-07-2cmvy-966.webp) ![Korean barbecue interior with trendy lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-08-1tkoj-966.webp) The trendy interior and lighting were just right - ̗̀ෆ ˶'ᵕ'˶ ෆ ̖́- I do not like Korean BBQ places that are too bright! There were so many people around Sinnonhyeon on Friday night, and Sansol was full too. Even though we had a reservation, we waited more than 10 minutes before getting in! It does feel like a shame to stay home on a Friday, though 👀 ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-09-jf5f5-966.webp) ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon meat menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-10-1hc1j-966.webp) ![San Modeum set-menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-11-wdgtw-966.webp) ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon à la carte menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-12-cxo0c-966.webp) ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon beef menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-13-1e6wy-966.webp) ![Sansol Sinnonhyeon meal menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-14-1dtge-966.webp) ## Pork belly, pork neck, and how we chose the set menu The pork belly menu at this Sinnonhyeon Station favorite ദ്ദി( ˃ ᵕ ˂ദ്ദി) The discounted San Modeum set, for 2–3 or 3–4 people, comes with pork belly, pork neck, and a chewy pork cut, and is a little cheaper than ordering individually. The difference did not seem huge, so we ordered two servings of pork belly and one serving of pork neck à la carte. But the pork neck here was reaaally delicious, so ordering two servings of pork neck would have been good too! 😋 They also sell Korean beef brisket and marbled beef rib meat, so you can have beef as well as pork ದി՞˶ෆ . ෆ˶ ՞ ![Basic side dishes before the meat order](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-15-akyxk-966.webp) ![Basic spread with green onion meat sauce and aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-16-14ir1-966.webp) The basic side dishes that arrived after ordering the meat were plentiful. Green onion meat sauce, aged kimchi, seasoned vegetables, yuzu radish salad, herring roe jeotgal (salted seafood), nabak kimchi (water kimchi), ssamjang (dipping paste), wasabi, young-radish pickles, and Maldon salt all came as part of the spread. ![Free corkage and highball information](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-17-u1cmt-966.webp) ## Free corkage and a maesil highball I think free corkage is a major plus at Sansol, a pork belly restaurant in Sinnonhyeon. I did not know corkage was free, so I regretted not bringing alcohol. I wrote a visitor review and received a maesil (Korean plum) highball. I think there were three kinds of highball? I had the maesil highball!! ![Maesil highball visitor-review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-18-1yyh6-966.webp) Ohhh, maybe the smell really did not cling to me?? Better than the smell, though, was that there was hardly any smoke—so good ✨ ## Pre-grilled meat and kkakdugi fried rice you have to try Two servings of pork belly and one serving of pork neck (₩51,000). The meat takes a while because it is pre-grilled once before being served❕ I think orders were backed up because there were so many people too. You need to wait patiently 👍🏻 ![Order of pre-grilled pork belly and pork neck](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-19-1d6m5-966.webp) Kkakdugi fried rice (2 servings), ₩10,000. The fried rice comes separately on a hot plate like this. At ₩10,000 for two servings, it did feel expensive compared with fried rice at other Korean BBQ places, but it was so good I could faint... it is worth it. I almost finished all the fried rice before the meat was even done; hahaha. Please please try the kkakdugi fried rice 💕 ![Kkakdugi fried rice served on a hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-20-1yx6f-966.webp) ![Two servings of kkakdugi fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-21-1vgem-966.webp) ## Pork neck I liked even more than the staff-grilled pork belly The staff grill the meat themselves from start to finish!! I only learned while writing this review that you can grill it yourself too. They were already busy because it was packed, so maybe I should have grilled it myself. ![Staff grilling the pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-22-1j4k8-1200.webp) Ahh, I want to eat it already—I am getting dizzy,,, 😦 ![Pork belly and pork neck cooking to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-23-1o1w4-966.webp) They grilled the meat beautifully golden too ദി՞˶ෆ . ෆ˶ ՞ The pork at Sansol Sinnonhyeon is insanely delicious, bursting with juices. The pork belly was also the best I have had recently, but the pork neck was even crazier. ![Juicy pork at Sansol](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice-24-khgb7-966.webp) The maesil highball I got through the review event was sweet and delicious ᡣ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶𐭩♡ If you follow their notifications before visiting, or if it is your birthday, they also give you Cheongmo Premium makgeolli (Korean rice wine). I am very picky about makgeolli, so I could not try it ㅠㅠㅠ The staff grill the meat, and the meat itself is so delicious that I really want to visit again. I totally, totally recommend Sansol Sinnonhyeon, a great pork belly spot near Sinnonhyeon Station. Having such a delicious dinner on Friday made me very happy!! ## Where it is - Sansol Sinnonhyeon (산솔 신논현점) - 15 Gangnam-daero 112-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 강남대로112길 15 지상1층 - 37.5055924, 127.0256071 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%B0%EC%86%94%20%EC%8B%A0%EB%85%BC%ED%98%84%EC%A0%90/@37.5055924,127.0256071,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-window-stool/sinnonhyeon-pork-bbq-fried-rice/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
