as written by the visitor on Jun 13, 2026
I really love bone hangover soup (ppyeohaejangguk), but I prefer a rich, mild broth to the fiery, in-your-face style. So while searching for good restaurants in Godeok, Songtan and Seojeongni in Pyeongtaek, I found San Ppyeojjim (산뼈찜).
It has been getting buzz lately among people looking for a good meal in Godeok, Pyeongtaek, so I was curious, and after visiting I could see why so many people recommend it. The bean sprouts piled up like a mountain, the tender pork spine bones and the non-spicy broth really stood out. Here is my honest, detailed review from actually eating there.
Is parking easy at San Ppyeojjim in Godeok, Pyeongtaek?
There is a gravel lot in front of the building that fits about 7 cars, and there is more parking at the side and back of the building. When I visited around 4 p.m. on a weekday, I parked right away with no waiting.
Parking matters more than you'd think when choosing a restaurant in Godeok. Many places in the area are awkward for cars, but San Ppyeojjim was convenient to reach by car.

What kind of bone stew restaurant is San Ppyeojjim?
Compared with an ordinary gamjatang (pork bone and potato stew) place, San Ppyeojjim piles on far more bean sprouts and keeps the broth less intense.

Having gone, I'd say it isn't just about big portions; it ticks all of these boxes:

The inside was clean overall and the tables were nicely spaced, so it looked good for families. While we ate, families and office workers kept coming in.

The San Ppyeojjim arrives: first impressions
True to its name, the bean sprouts are piled up like a mountain, with big pork spine bones packed underneath. It came out after a short wait after ordering, and the first impression was truly overwhelming.
The moment I saw it, I thought: that is a LOT of food.
The mountain of bean sprouts is San Ppyeojjim's signature feature.
After adding extra sprouts, it was so full you couldn't even see the pot.
As it started to bubble, an appetizing aroma spread.
San Ppyeojjim's biggest feature: the bean sprouts
San Ppyeojjim piles on bean sprouts to a degree you rarely see at ordinary gamjatang places. Lightly cooked in the broth, the sprouts keep their crunch, and eaten with the meat they cut the greasiness. Having tried it, adding extra sprouts was a very satisfying choice.
Is the extra bean sprouts option (₩1,000) worth it?
If you like bean sprouts, I recommend adding extra at San Ppyeojjim. They stay crunchy and go well with the broth.
How much pork spine meat does San Ppyeojjim give you?
When I pushed aside the sprouts, big pork spine bones appeared. Each bone was sizable and had plenty of meat on it.
These are the big pork spine bones that were hiding under the sprouts. Even lifting them with tongs, you could feel the heft.
The tender texture, with meat that pulls apart along the grain at just a touch of the chopsticks, was impressive. The juicy, soft meat really stood out.
Looking for a non-spicy bone soup? Try San Ppyeojjim
The broth at San Ppyeojjim was less intense than ordinary gamjatang, with the deep flavor of a rich stock. Honestly, this is the main reason I visited. I like bone soup, but I don't care for broth that is too spicy or harsh.

From what I ate, San Ppyeojjim was not spicy. Even people who can't handle spicy food should be able to enjoy it without worry.
The broth tastes of rich stock.
One spoonful tasted clean yet deep.
Even better with the special sauce
I dipped the San Ppyeojjim meat in the special sauce with Cheongyang chili peppers that comes with it. The sauce brought out even more of the mild meat's flavor.
This special sauce adds a savory kick. Eaten together with the bean sprouts, the texture and flavor get even better.
San Ppyeojjim with rice is the best combination
I picked the meat off the bones, put it on rice and ate it with kimchi. As expected, this is a dish that tastes even better with rice.
Meat and rice never fails.
It was even better with kimchi. At the end, I stirred rice into the broth for a clean finish.
