Dasan Station lamb restaurant that grills the bones too: Jin 1926

Today I heard there's a real hidden gem for lamb in Dasan-dong, so I went to check it out~! It's Jin 1926 Dasan Branch.

Where is Jin 1926 Dasan Branch, and what are its hours?

Jin 1926 Dasan Branch is open every day from 16:00 to 23:00, and it's located on the 2nd floor of Sinhae Central Tower 4, 21-5 Dasanjungang-ro 123beon-gil, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.

It's also very close to Dasan Station~!

You take the elevator up to the 2nd floor and it's right there, so it was easy to find. There's also a spacious underground parking lot, so it's great to visit by car haha.

Bar seats at Jin 1926: what the room feels like, and space for groups

The interior was way more upscale and clean-feeling than I expected~! Especially what I'd call the dachi seating — eating at the bar seemed like it would have more atmosphere, so I sat at the bar seats haha.

Jin 1926 Dasan Branch, a true lamb spot in Dasan, seemed good for everything from dates to family gatherings to group meetups~! They said hall rental is also available.

I came for the lamb but fell for the atmosphere first! The tables were clean and the side dishes were neatly prepared. I especially loved that wasabi came out with the meal~!

The Jin 1926 menu and ordering the French rack

Here's the menu. There were all kinds of set menus and a really wide range of alcohol too~! If we hadn't brought a car, I definitely would've had a drink with the lamb haha. We ordered the French rack.

Australian lamb billed as 100% chilled, never frozen

Jin 1926 Dasan Branch, a lamb rib spot in Dasan, says it only uses premium-grade Australian lamb flown in by express air shipment — 100% chilled, never frozen. They say this means less gamey smell along with a chewy texture, rich juiciness, and deep meaty flavor, which had me looking forward to it~~!

Honestly, lamb can sometimes be disappointing because of its distinctive smell if it's not done right. But here, even before eating, the ventilation system was so good that I barely noticed any smoke, and the grilling area was also slightly separated, making it comfortable. Thanks to that, I could chat comfortably with my companion, and it felt private too haha.

Four side dishes and the stir-fried mung bean sprouts

Four kinds of side dishes came out neatly arranged. Perfect for when the lamb starts to feel a bit rich haha.

By default, freshly stir-fried mung bean sprouts come out~! This really got my appetite going~! Smoky and a bit spicy, so good.

Staff grill the French rack: medium-rare or medium?

The French rack arrived~~! Doesn't it look amazing~?! Here the staff grill it for you from the start, and I loved that haha. They grilled the vegetables together too, and I loved being able to choose medium-rare or medium~!

Let's taste it. It was tender in the mouth, with the juices bursting out, and there was zero toughness at all~!! The lamb chops were soft and juicy too, and I thought, this place is genuinely great at lamb — whatever you order here is probably going to be delicious haha.

The more you chew, the more a savory flavor comes up, and the distinctive lamb smell wasn't overpowering at all, so I could enjoy it without any hesitation.

One bite in and I immediately understood why they call it premium lamb. As the staff member grilled the meat, they explained various things to us~! They didn't just grill it — they told us the best way to enjoy it, so even though it was the same meat, the experience kept feeling different. And surprisingly, I found the mushrooms really delicious >_<

The finish: bones grilled until they're easy to eat

Finally, the nice touch of grilling even the bones and serving them in a way that's easy to eat.. that was really lovely.

Gondre rice with pollack roe, and the verdict on Jin 1926

We also ordered gondre bap topped with pollack roe, and wrapped in dried seaweed it was seriously delicious~! This place is genuinely great, so I'm planning to come back haha.

It seems good for everything — small groups, family gatherings, farewell parties, company dinners~! If you're eating lamb in Dasan, I recommend Jin 1926 Dasan Branch, a true lamb restaurant near Dasan Station. They grill delicious premium lamb for you, so you can eat comfortably~~! Genuinely a great place!
