Guests who turned up around 7pm were turned away because the kitchen had closed, so go early on a weekend evening. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2nd floor, 65 Haeandae-ro, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (closed Tuesdays) - **Parking**: Available (public lot across the street) - **Spicy pork set**: 14,900 won - **Braised beef rib set**: 20,000 won - **Grilled mackerel set**: 17,000 won (34,000 won for two) - **Amenities**: High chairs, waiting seats, group dining, kids menu, reservations, delivery - **Not allowed**: No corkage, no pets - **Included services**: Side dish refills, free unlimited Hangang ramyeon, fruit and rice cake dessert corner - **Price reference**: ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 · ₩34,000 ≈ $24.5 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* On a day I really wanted a full Korean set-meal spread in Masan, I went looking for a place with lots of side dishes served generously — and ended up at Ssamjangjip. From main dishes like the spicy pork set, braised beef rib set, and grilled mackerel set, to about 30 side dishes filling the whole table, this place seemed great for a family meal or dining with parents. !! We ordered the mackerel set for two that day — ₩17,000 per person, so ₩34,000 for two! To cut to the verdict: it was a "wait, this many side dishes for this price?" kind of spread. ![Grilled mackerel set with 30-dish spread at Masan Ssamjangjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-01-mcg89-1200.webp) ## Where is Masan Ssamjangjip, and what are its hours and parking?

The tables are covered with plastic wrap — kind of gives it a raw fish restaurant vibe haha. ![Plastic-wrapped table and a corner of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-08-bwdz8-900.webp) They also have alcohol, so it's good for pairing a drink with your meal, and there are high chairs too, so it's a good Daetgeori restaurant to bring a baby to. ## What comes with the grilled mackerel set for two and its 30-dish spread? The grilled mackerel set at Masan Ssamjangjip is ₩17,000 per person, ₩34,000 for two. The side dishes started filling the table one by one until suddenly it was completely packed. Centered on grilled mackerel and rice, a huge variety of side dishes — namul (seasoned vegetables), kimchi, pickled vegetables, mixed dishes and more — fill the whole table. With so many different dishes, even as two people we had fun each picking our own favorites. The star of the meal: grilled mackerel. It came out golden brown with a slice of lemon on top. The outside was crispy, and when you pulled the flesh apart, the inside was moist — great piled on warm rice. ![A plate of grilled mackerel topped with lemon](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-09-1sbbu-900.webp) The kimchi pancake was also crispy and delicious, ![Crispy kimchi pancake side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-10-e5aaw-845.webp) and I was happy there was tofu kimchi too, which I love. What I especially liked was that if you tell the staff a side dish is running low, they'll refill it. ![Tofu kimchi served as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-11-1vxq0-900.webp) Fresh geotjeori (quick kimchi) isn't hard to make but it's kind of a hassle, so I don't eat it often — having it again after a while really got my appetite going, it was delicious! ![Fresh geotjeori kimchi on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-12-783wi-900.webp) And even japchae (glass noodle stir-fry), which my partner loves 🫶🏻 Such a generous spread altogether~~~ ## Free unlimited Hangang ramyeon at Masan Ssamjangjip ![Hangang ramyeon station at Masan Ssamjangjip](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-13-4fcta-900.webp) Since there are a lot of customers, it can take a bit of time for the food to come out. If you're feeling peckish while waiting, they offer free Hangang ramyeon (Han River-style instant noodles) you can cook yourself, as many times as you want!! ![Sign about the free Hangang ramyeon offer](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-14-o2dtr-900.webp) That said, let's only use it if we're actually going to eat it, so we don't leave bowls with just a bite taken out. ![Instructions for using the ramyeon station](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-15-1naed-900.webp) The ramyeon options are Snack Wrap, Yeul Ramyeon, and Jin Ramyeon (mild or spicy). ![Jin Ramyeon and Yeul Ramyeon and other noodle options](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-16-1wfgw-900.webp) There's one Hangang ramyeon machine. We were already full from the meal so we didn't try it, but I thought it was fun that this kind of service even exists. ## The self-serve fruit and rice cake dessert corner ![Dessert corner with fruit and rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-17-19eoj-900.webp) After the meal, there's a dessert corner too. Fruit and rice cakes are set out buffet-style so you can help yourself to as much as you want. ![Buffet-style dessert display counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-18-3rvx1-900.webp) The grapes and shine muscat grapes were refreshing and made a great dessert! ![Grapes and shine muscat grapes taken as dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-19-snapx-900.webp) Rice → ramyeon → fruit — it really feels like they take care of you all the way to the end! ![Dessert drink corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-20-1sp93-900.webp) I think there's also omija tea (five-flavor berry tea) or coffee, but it was gone by the time I left, so I couldn't try it ㅠㅠ ## Separate men's and women's restrooms inside ![Entrance to the separate men's and women's restrooms inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-21-eiuiw-900.webp) Having separate men's and women's restrooms inside the restaurant is convenient too! And above all, they were clean. ![Hand wash placed by the sink](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-22-1ji86-900.webp) There's hand wash by the sink so you can wash your hands before and after eating, and it smelled nice too~🫧🧼 ## Visiting Masan Ssamjangjip on a weekend evening: what to know ![Busy dining hall at Masan Ssamjangjip on a weekend evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-23-9khss-900.webp) When we visited Masan Ssamjangjip, it was a weekend evening so there were quite a lot of customers. Past 6pm on Saturday there were clear signs of a wave of diners having just come through — it seems like a lot of people looking for good Daetgeori restaurants come here these days. ![Restaurant scene during Saturday evening dinner hours](https://img.superchart.com/images/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel-24-1qk5a-900.webp) During meal times there can be enough of a wait that if you want a relaxed visit, avoiding peak hours might be a good idea. We came at 6pm on Saturday and got seated right away without waiting, but people who came around 7pm afterward were turned away because the kitchen had closed. ## 💡 Key points for a visit to Masan Ssamjangjip - ✔️ A 30-dish spread with a wide variety of side dishes - ✔️ Ask staff and they'll refill any side dish that's running low - ✔️ Free + unlimited Hangang ramyeon - ✔️ Fruit and rice cake dessert corner available after the meal - ✔️ Weekend evenings can come with a wait ## 📝 Final verdict on Masan Ssamjangjip If you're looking for a generous Korean set-meal spread in Masan, Ssamjangjip was pretty good! With main dishes, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and a 30-dish spread, you get to try a wide variety of side dishes, plus side dish refills, free Hangang ramyeon, and dessert — a solid, well-rounded meal. Weekends can come with a wait, so I'd recommend visiting early, before the 7pm kitchen close. ## Where it is - Masan Ssamjangjip (마산쌈장집) - 65 Haeandae-ro, 2nd floor, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 창원시 마산합포구 해안대로 65 2층 - 35.1818724, 128.5646453 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A7%88%EC%82%B0%EC%8C%88%EC%9E%A5%EC%A7%91/@35.1818724,128.5646453,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@yongho-tidal-table/masan-datgeori-hanjeongsik-saturday-dinner-mackerel/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
