One round of 168-hour low-temperature aged whole pork belly is 600g for 29,000 won, and this meal ran to two rounds plus beef tartare, brisket doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) and cold noodles buried in sesame seeds. With a generous self-serve corner of kimchi and bean sprouts to grill, Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal is a great-value Korean BBQ table in Seoul. ## Good to know - **Whole pork belly, one round**: 600g, 29,000 won - **Meat**: Premium grade 1 (US), aged 168 hours at low temperature - **Vegetables served with it**: Water dropwort, bean sprouts, kimchi, king oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms - **Self-serve corner**: Seasoned bean sprouts, kimchi, shredded scallions, pickled onion, mushrooms, assorted sauces - **Ordered that day**: 2 rounds of whole pork belly, beef tartare, brisket doenjang jjigae, sesame-loaded cold noodles - **Location**: 46 Dobong-ro 87-gil (part of 1F), Gangbuk-gu, Seoul - **Price reference**: ₩29,000 ≈ $21.5 (2026-09-24) *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* These days prices have gone up so much that finding a place where the taste, price, and meat quality all satisfy you at once is harder than it sounds, right? A few days ago I started craving thick whole pork belly dripping with fat, grilled golden on a big cauldron lid, wrapped up in a huge lettuce leaf with kimchi and garlic cooked in all that meat fat! ![Heading to a Suyu pork belly restaurant craving cauldron-lid whole pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-01-14pyb-966.webp) ![View of a cauldron-lid pork belly restaurant near Suyu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-02-1xic4-966.webp) So I searched hard for good restaurants and pubs near Suyu Station, and found a pork belly place that's already famous by word of mouth for its value and flavor. It's 'Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal,' a Suyu spot known for meat that's tender and juicy thanks to a careful 168-hour low-temperature aging process! ![Exterior of Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-03-1nd5w-966.webp) ![Store sign announcing 168-hour low-temperature aging](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-04-1o92i-966.webp) It was even better value and more satisfying than I expected, so I wanted to share every detail with you in this review! ![Entrance view of Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-05-1tnqd-966.webp) ## Inside Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal and what 600g of pork belly costs Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal has a really spacious, clean interior. The tables have plenty of room between them, so it's comfortable for a meal and would also work well for a gathering with friends or a work dinner. ![Spacious restaurant interior with generous table spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-06-ekn7i-966.webp) ![Neatly arranged dining hall seating at the BBQ restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-07-cma61-966.webp) ![Wide restaurant interior view, good for group dinners](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-08-1djaa-966.webp) One of the biggest draws here is the price and quality. They serve premium grade 1 (US) pork that's been low-temperature aged for 168 hours, and one order (600g) is a very budget-friendly ₩29,000. ![Menu board showing whole pork belly 600g for ₩29,000](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-09-zps3n-966.webp) ![Sign explaining 168-hour low-temperature aging of premium grade 1 meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-10-icuv0-966.webp) ![Menu board listing the side menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-11-1vycn-966.webp) ### What's in the self-serve corner On one side of the restaurant there's a really neat, well-organized self-serve corner. Seasoned bean sprouts, kimchi, shredded scallions, pickled onion, mushrooms, and assorted sauces are all laid out tidily, so it was really convenient to top up any side dish without hesitation during the meal. ![Self-serve side dish corner with kimchi and shredded scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-12-1eedt-966.webp) ## Two rounds of whole pork belly filling the cauldron lid That day, we ordered two full portions of whole pork belly at Suyu Daewang and ate heartily. On the well-heated, large cauldron lid, they piled on the thick aged whole pork belly, and generously surrounded it with water dropwort, bean sprouts, kimchi, king oyster mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms. ![Thick aged whole pork belly placed on the cauldron lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-13-gc8pr-m-966.webp) ![Water dropwort, bean sprouts, and mushrooms arranged around the pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-14-ibtid-966.webp) ![Cauldron-lid grill filled with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-15-8nz5b-966.webp) Just looking at the grill piled high made my mouth water instantly. Maybe because of the 168-hour low-temperature aging, the meat was so tender, and with every bite the savory juices burst in my mouth. ![Low-temperature aged whole pork belly grilling to golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-16-dxr0a-966.webp) ![Pork belly sliced into bite-sized pieces with grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-17-1pw96-966.webp) Especially good was wrapping the meat with kimchi and bean sprouts grilled golden in the pork fat, along with fragrant water dropwort — a combination that never got old. Dipping it into the bubbling sauce also gave it amazing depth of flavor. You all know bean sprouts grilled crispy are just so good, right!? ㅠ ![Crispy grilled bean sprouts and a piece of pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-18-v2e6b-1200.webp) ![Cauldron-lid pork belly dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-19-8ocbv-966.webp) ## Finishing with beef tartare, brisket doenjang jjigae and sesame-loaded cold noodles After happily finishing off two orders of whole pork belly, we rounded out the meal with a variety of side dishes: beef tartare, brisket doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and cold noodles. Savory beef tartare: fresh, bright red beef tartare topped with a fresh egg yolk — mixing it all together gave a rich, savory flavor. ![Bright red beef tartare topped with an egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-20-w9uka-966.webp) ![A plate of beef tartare being mixed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-21-27lqt-966.webp) Brisket doenjang jjigae: served bubbling in a stone pot, this stew was loaded with beef brisket, tofu, and mushrooms, with a rich, spicy broth. It cut right through any greasiness left over from the meat, and I couldn't stop eating it with rice. ![Brisket doenjang jjigae served bubbling in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-22-1qxw5-966.webp) Sesame-loaded cold noodles (mul naengmyeon): cold noodles served in a refreshing broth with floating slush ice and topped with plenty of sesame — the nuttiness and coolness were excellent. With chewy noodles, it was a clean, satisfying way to finish the meal. ![Cold noodles with slush ice topped generously with sesame](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-23-nn83l-966.webp) ![A bowl of cold noodles enjoyed to finish the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set/suyu-daewang-sottukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-24-13nwj-811.webp) ## Who should eat at Suyu Daewang Sotttukkeong Samgyeopsal This is a place where you can enjoy high-quality 168-hour low-temperature aged whole pork belly at an affordable price without holding back.
