## In short

Ssosam 208 Suwon Station Branch is a volcano hot-plate pork BBQ restaurant on Rodeo Street, about a 2-minute walk from Exit 13 of Suwon Station. The medium mixed stone-plate (500g: 250g pork belly, 150g pork neck, 100g cheollyeopsal or thousand-layer pork belly) came with lava fondue cheese and Cheongdo stone minari (water dropwort), alongside the complimentary kimchi rice noodle soup with one free refill, flying fish roe egg custard, cold buckwheat noodles and beef brisket doenjang stew. At Ssosam 208, the same cut tastes different every round with salt, scallion strips, minari or cheese.

I had an appointment near Suwon Station and ended up at Ssosam 208 Suwon Station Branch, a place known for its unique volcano-shaped hot plate.

I tried the mixed stone-plate that lets you taste pork belly, pork neck and cheollyeopsal (thousand-layer pork belly) all at once, paired with Cheongdo stone minari (water dropwort) and the lava fondue cheese that melts smoothly right in the middle of the grill. The location is easy to reach on foot from Suwon Station, and the lively atmosphere made it feel just as suited to a date as to a get-together with friends or coworkers. Let me walk you through the menu and the vibe in detail.

※ For the 2026 Chuseok holiday, the restaurant will be open from 12:00 on September 24 and 26, and closed on September 25. Please check with the store directly for holiday hours before visiting.

## How to walk to Ssosam 208 from Suwon Station Exit 13

Ssosam 208 Suwon Station Branch sits inside Rodeo Street, about a 2-minute walk from Exit 13 of Suwon Station. It's also an easy stop after shopping or catching a movie at Suwon Station's Lotte Mall or AK Plaza.

At the entrance, I could see a list of TV shows that have featured the restaurant.

There was a standing sign introducing signature menu items like the volcano hot-plate meat and the snow cheese kimchi fried rice, which already had me curious before I even walked in.

## Inside Ssosam 208: a spacious, lively dining room

Inside, the space felt cozy without being cramped — the tables had enough breathing room between them.

Every table has its own ventilation system, and there are seats suited to larger groups, making it a good spot for work dinners or gatherings near Suwon Station.

## What comes free and what we ordered at Ssosam 208

![Full spread of Ssosam 208's basic side dishes including lettuce, scallion strips and wild garlic leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-06-1a6f3-966.webp)

Once seated, lettuce, scallion strips, wild garlic leaves, rice noodle soup, garlic, salt and various sauces were neatly laid out. Here's what we ordered that day.

The medium mixed stone-plate (500g) is made up of 250g pork belly, 150g pork neck and 100g cheollyeopsal, so you get to try several cuts at once.

The table also had a guide to enjoying Ssosam 208 the best way.

The suggestion was to try the meat with the basic sauce first, then move on to scallion strips, stone minari and lava fondue cheese one by one for more variety of flavor.

![Meat being enjoyed with different accompanying sauces in turn](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-10-1rvud-966.webp)

The wall menu clearly lists the stone-plate sets, individual pork cuts, side dishes and rice/noodle dishes.

## Free kimchi rice noodle soup with one refill

![The complimentary warm kimchi rice noodle soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-11-1penp-966.webp)

Ordering meat automatically comes with a rice noodle soup. The warm broth was generously filled with noodles, and the kimchi gave it a slightly spicy, refreshing edge. Sipping it while waiting for the meat to cook felt like a nice way to settle the stomach.

With the side dishes and rice noodle soup filling the table, all that was missing was the meat itself.

The noodles went down smoothly but still had a bit of chew to them. And even though this is a complimentary side dish, you can get one refill if you want more.

## The 500g mixed stone-plate on the volcano hot plate

Soon after, the mixed stone-plate arrived. On the volcano-shaped hot plate — raised in the middle like an actual volcano — were generous portions of pork belly, pork neck and cheollyeopsal, with kimchi, tofu and minari on the side.

In the hollow at the center sat the orange lava fondue cheese, which caught my eye the moment it hit the table.

As the plate heated up, the meat began sizzling and the cheese in the middle slowly started melting.

The rendered fat naturally flowed down toward the bottom of the plate, where the kimchi and tofu cooked in it, sending up an even richer, savory aroma.

The meat was cut into thick, bite-sized pieces. Even as the surface browned, the inside still looked moist rather than dried out.

The pork belly had clearly defined layers of lean meat and fat, and the pork neck and cheollyeopsal were both cut generously thick.

Grilling three cuts on one plate made it fun to compare the different textures as we ate.

A staff member grilled the meat for us, so we didn't have to keep an eye on the plate ourselves.

Watching the cheese bubble away while we waited for the meat to finish just made us more eager to dig in.

With the browned meat, grilled kimchi, tofu, minari and lava fondue cheese all together on the plate, it looked seriously satisfying.

The deep orange of the cheese in particular really did look like flowing lava, giving it that distinctive Ssosam 208 touch.

First, I tried the well-cooked pork belly on its own. The outside was browned and slightly crisp, and biting in released a savory juiciness.

The thickness was just right — not dry, and with a satisfying chewiness. Adding the kimchi that had cooked in the fat brought a tangy note that paired well.

There was plenty of minari on the plate too, and I grilled it just until it slightly wilted.

Raw minari has a crisp texture and a strong aroma, while grilling mellows the scent, making it an easy pairing with the meat.

## One cut of pork, four ways: salt, scallion, minari, cheese

![A lettuce wrap topped with meat and scallion strips](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-13-bsvm9-966.webp)

I made a lettuce wrap loaded with meat and scallion strips. The crispness of the lettuce plus the tangy scallions made everything taste fresher.

![Notice for the Naver receipt review lava fondue cheese event](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-14-7f4kv-966.webp)

They were also running an event where writing a Naver receipt review gets you lava fondue cheese. Details may change, so double-check with the store when you visit.

![Browned pork belly eaten with just a dip of salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-15-1ygvn-966.webp)

Dipping just in salt let the pork's natural savoriness and chewy texture come through without any seasoning covering it up. Personally, I liked starting with this plain version the most.

The flying fish roe egg custard looked appetizing from the moment it puffed up over the bowl. A spoonful was soft and warm, with the roe popping here and there — a nice bite between rounds of meat.

Dipping the meat lightly in the house special sauce added a salty, savory depth. The sauce wasn't overpowering, so the meat's own flavor still came through.

I also tried wrapping the meat and sauce in a wild garlic leaf like a lettuce wrap.

It's softer and slightly chewier than lettuce, and the faint ocean-like aroma paired better with the meat than I expected.

Next, I dipped the meat straight into the lava fondue cheese.

The warm, melted cheese clung smoothly to the meat's surface, intensifying the rich, savory flavor. If you love cheese, this combination is hard to pass up.

![Pork belly dipped into the lava fondue cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-18-4ggcl-966.webp)

Picking up meat and minari together and dipping them in the cheese was even better.

At first you taste the richness of the cheese, then the bright aroma of the minari follows — it turned out less heavy than expected.

Just the meat with the tangy dressed scallion strips was plenty satisfying on its own. After a few bites of meat, adding stone minari cleaned up the palate and made me reach for my chopsticks again.

I also layered browned kimchi and minari on top of the meat.

The savoriness of the pork belly plus the tang of the grilled kimchi and the fragrance of the minari — this ended up being the combination I went back to most often.

Dipping in the salted anchovy sauce added a salty punch, so the flavor never felt flat even without wrapping it.

Piling on plenty of minari made each bite feel hearty, but the aftertaste stayed light.

There were photos of signature menu items like the lava fondue and snow cheese kimchi fried rice on the wall. We ordered a lot of dishes this time and didn't get to the fried rice, but I'd like to try it next time.

I placed a grilled garlic clove on top of a piece of browned pork belly and dipped it lightly in the salted anchovy sauce. The savory juiciness of the pork belly combined with the sweet, soft grilled garlic, and the salty anchovy sauce brought out even more depth. The garlic also cut through the pork's richness, making it a combination I kept coming back to.

## Cold buckwheat noodles and beef brisket doenjang stew to finish

![A bowl of mul-naengmyeon with icy slush broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate/ssosam-208-suwon-station-stone-plate-24-1c499-966.webp)

After eating plenty of meat, I cleansed my palate with cool mul-naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles in broth).

The icy broth, with bits of slush floating in it, was tangy and refreshing, and the noodles weren't tough, so they were easy to slurp down. After all that rich meat, one bite instantly felt cleansing.

The beef brisket doenjang (soybean paste) stew arrived bubbling in a stone pot.

Lifting the lid released a hearty doenjang aroma that made me instinctively ask for a bowl of rice.

The stew was packed with plenty of beef brisket, tofu, zucchini and scallion.

The broth wasn't too salty or heavy, and the savoriness from the beef brisket made it a great match for rice.

Mixing warm rice into the stew let the broth soak into every grain, making for a filling finish.

I also topped the leftover meat onto the cold noodles. The cold, tangy noodles alongside the warm, savory meat turned out to be a great combination too.
