Booking for 5pm, right when break time ends, two visitors ordered the Sodangkkae combo set of pork belly, pork neck and pork jowl with beef tartare and crab soybean paste stew, and staff grilled every cut on a cauldron lid ringed with minari and bracken fern. Wide spacing between tables at Sodangkkae also makes it a solid pick for a group dinner. ## Good to know - **Location**: 84-3 Seochodae-ro 50-gil, 2nd floor, Seocho-gu, Seoul - **Hours (Mon–Fri)**: 11:00–23:00, break time 15:00–17:00, last order 22:00 - **Hours (Sat–Sun)**: 12:00–23:00, last order 22:00 - **Ordered**: Sodangkkae combo set (pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl + beef tartare + stew) - **Stew choice**: Kimchi stew or soybean paste stew (chose crab soybean paste stew) *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* Hi everyone, this is Gamya! I was craving meat with my other half today, so we visited a Korean BBQ place near Gyodae Station — and since they had a combo set, I liked the lineup so much I had to write this review haha. ## Where is Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip Gyodae Main Branch, and when is it open? Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip Gyodae Main Branch is on the 2nd floor at 84-3 Seochodae-ro 50-gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Hours are 11:00–23:00 Monday to Friday (break time 15:00–17:00, last order 22:00) and 12:00–23:00 Saturday and Sunday (last order 22:00). ![Exterior of the building housing Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip Gyodae Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-01-f7sh3-900.webp) ![Staircase entrance leading up to the 2nd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-02-1xbb0-900.webp) ![Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip sign and restaurant entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-03-a89hn-900.webp) Since it's on the 2nd floor, if you follow the map there's a staircase on the right — just go up one flight and the entrance is right there! The sign is big so the entrance was easy to find haha. ## Inside Sodangkkae: the 5pm reserved table after break time ![Restaurant interior with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-04-11mwr-900.webp) ![Full view of the dining hall seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-05-1adre-900.webp) Inside there are plenty of tables with generous spacing for the size of the space. Even the chairs are comfortable — the vibe made me wonder, is this really a BBQ place? haha. We had reserved for 5pm right when the break time ended, so we walked in with no rush, but the place filled up with customers pretty quickly after that haha. ![Table set up as a reserved seat](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-06-z60x8-900.webp) Since we'd booked ahead, our table had a neat reserved-seat setup waiting for us. The place is spacious with lots of tables, so I thought it would be perfect for a weekday group dinner with coworkers! ## What comes in the Sodangkkae combo set? ![Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip meat menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-07-c2ns1-900.webp) ![Menu board listing the combo sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-08-3sog3-900.webp) ![Lunch set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-09-1ibp5-900.webp) ![Dessert menu board with cold noodles and kimchi stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-10-1bh6m-900.webp) There were plenty of options — pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, pork skin, and more — and it looked like they also serve lunch set menus! Seems like a great spot to visit for lunch too haha. Desserts were varied too, with naengmyeon (cold noodles), kimchi stew, kimchi pancake and more. After going back and forth, we wanted to try several cuts at once, so we went with the [Sodangkkae combo set]! It comes with pork belly, pork neck, pork jowl, plus beef tartare and a stew haha. ![Vegetables and meat placed on the cauldron-lid grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-11-tj6dv-1200.webp) This is how the vegetables and meat go on the cauldron-lid grill! :) ## Cauldron-lid grilling with minari and bracken fern, done by the staff ![Basic side dishes: scallion kimchi and wrap greens](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-12-xn9es-900.webp) ![Small side dish plate including macaroni salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-13-vhe4i-900.webp) ![Vegetable set with minari and mushrooms on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-14-b3wq7-900.webp) ![Grill filled with bracken fern and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-15-18xyy-900.webp) Side dishes came as a basic set — scallion kimchi, perilla leaves and lettuce for wraps, macaroni salad and more haha. Right after ordering, a generous vegetable set went on first, filling the grill with minari (water dropwort), bracken fern, enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, bean sprouts, kimchi and more. ![Meat and vegetables cooking on the cauldron lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-16-zy5m2-900.webp) Looking back at these photos while writing, my mouth is watering all over again ,, And the biggest perk of this place! The staff grill all the meat for you 👏 Thanks to that, while the meat sizzled and turned soft and golden, my other half and I could just relax and focus on chatting. ![Staff grilling pork belly on the cauldron lid](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-17-bkenk-900.webp) Eating the well-grilled meat with minari, enoki mushrooms and grilled kimchi was honestly a perfect combination. The kimchi was so good we even got a refill and grilled more of it 😋 ![Cooked meat alongside grilled kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-18-1rhd5-900.webp) ![Grilled meat moved onto the small side plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-19-6riog-900.webp) ![A golden-brown piece of grilled pork belly](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-20-1q8dt-900.webp) Once the meat's fully cooked, they move it onto a small side plate for you! You just pick it up and eat, no fuss haha. ![A piece of meat placed on a wrap leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-21-ae4j5-900.webp) ![Grilled meat and mushrooms on the side plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-22-c8kev-900.webp) ## Crab soybean paste stew and the beef tartare in the set Right around when we were mostly done eating, the soybean paste stew arrived! We could choose between kimchi stew and soybean paste stew, and since I was curious about the crab miso version, I picked that haha. The savory soybean paste broth with crab in it wasn't harsh or salty at all — it was deep and refreshing, and it cut right through the richness of the meat. ![Soybean paste stew with crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-23-1vn66-900.webp) ![Beef tartare served with radish sprouts, pear and egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner-24-cwjxf-900.webp) Then the beef tartare, which was honestly beyond expectations — since it was included in the set, I wasn't expecting much, but it arrived as a thick, generous fistful, and the visual alone was impressive! Eating it with radish sprouts, fresh pear and egg yolk, it melted in my mouth, tender and fresh through and through haha. The quality of the generous portion of beef tartare was a total win. ## Is Sodangkkae worth it near Gyodae Station? Cauldron-lid grilling with minari and bracken fern, the comfort of having staff grill everything for you, and the well-rounded combo set — 'Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip' nailed all of it! Next time I definitely want to come back for a proper group dinner with coworkers >_< I highly recommend this place to anyone craving a big, generous meat feast! 👍 ## Where it is - Sodangkkae O-gyeopjip Gyodae Main Branch (소당깨오겹집 교대본점) - 84-3 Seochodae-ro 50-gil, 2nd floor, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 서초구 서초대로50길 84-3 2층 소당깨오겹집 - 37.4894395, 127.0136456 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EB%8B%B9%EA%B9%A8%EC%98%A4%EA%B2%B9%EC%A7%91%20%EA%B5%90%EB%8C%80%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.4894395,127.0136456,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@warm-bowl-gyeonggi/gyodae-sotdukkeong-samgyeopsal-set-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
