Unlimited hot pot in Songdo: 25,900-won lunch at Sangsangcheom

Hi everyone~! Doesn't the chillier weather these days make you crave something hot and spicy like hot pot?! I can't be the only one, right?

Today I'm sharing my visit to Sangsangcheom, an all-you-can-eat hot pot spot in Building D of Songdo Triple Street! Meat, skewers, side dishes, desserts, and even drinks were all unlimited, so both the value and satisfaction were great!

Where is Sangsangcheom in Songdo Triple Street, and where do you park?

Sangsangcheom is located right in Building D of Songdo Triple Street, so it's really easy to find. If you park at the Triple Street parking lot, you get 5 hours free without any separate registration! You can eat leisurely, grab a coffee afterward, and still have time to spare.

Building D has convenience facilities like Daiso, Megatown Pharmacy, and even Megabox cinema all gathered in one place, so it's a great route for a date or a walk-around after eating, giving you time to digest too~

Inside Sangsangcheom: the dining room and how long you get

Walking into Sangsangcheom, the ceilings were high and the tables were on the larger side, so it didn't feel cramped at all. The tables are also spaced generously apart, making it a great spot for family dinners or gatherings with friends.

The time limit is 80 minutes for weekday lunch, and 100 minutes for evenings, weekends, and holidays. I visited on a weekday lunch, so I had 80 minutes, and it was more than enough to eat as much as I wanted, plenty of time to spare!

Even though it's an all-you-can-eat place, the self-serve bar and the whole store were kept clean, which made the meal feel really pleasant the whole time.

How much is the all-you-can-eat hot pot, and which broths can you pick?

The most important part — the price! Sangsangcheom's weekday lunch price is 25,900 won, which feels like really good value given how expensive eating out has gotten these days! (Weekday dinner and weekends/holidays are 29,900 won.)

You can order easily via tablet, and there's no extra charge even if you choose 2 broths (yuanyang)!! We went with the classic hot pot combo — spicy mala soup + deep, savory beef bone soup~

The mala soup has a pretty strong, numbing-spicy flavor, so it's not recommended for those who can't handle spicy food or the mala aroma. Only choose it if you actually like mala! The beef bone soup was mild and let you really taste the ingredients themselves, which I liked. If you're going with kids, it'd be good to have one pot be beef bone soup.

Three cuts of meat and what is on the self-serve bar

You can tell how fresh it looks even in the photos, right!? When you order via tablet, three cuts of meat — shoulder, short rib, and shank — come out nicely arranged on a tray! The meat quality was good and fresh, soft with no gamey smell.

The self-serve fridge had fresh vegetables like bean sprouts, napa cabbage, and mushrooms as basics, plus a variety of other ingredients like rice cakes, glass noodles, shrimp, and crab. There was also a wide variety of skewers — from dried tofu wrapped around enoki mushrooms to seasoned meat skewers! Dunking the skewers into the pot and fishing them back out is a fun part of the meal.

When you feel like just eating hot pot isn't quite enough, there's guobaorou (sweet and sour crispy pork), kimmari (seaweed-wrapped noodle rolls), french fries, mantou (steamed flower buns), and more! All kept warm, which was nice. There was also fruit, pickled radish, and baek-kimchi (non-spicy white kimchi).

Mixing your own dipping sauce at Sangsangcheom

You can mix your own sauce however you like, and if you're not sure how, just ask the staff! They'll whip one up for you in the golden ratio. I tried making the sauce I wanted myself.

Drinks and ice cream are unlimited too

A lot of places charge extra for drinks, but at Sangsangcheom you can help yourself to as much soda as well as fragrant Chinese tea drinks from the fridge! After the hot pot, a sip of cool, refreshing jasmine tea felt like a reset. We finished off perfectly with ice cream and walked out patting our full bellies.

Is Sangsangcheom worth it? Final verdict

Taste, cleanliness, and parking convenience — nothing was lacking here. I'd really recommend it to anyone who wants to stuff themselves with all-you-can-eat hot pot. If you're heading to Songdo Triple Street, definitely stop by once!
