Chuanchuan skewers and yuanyang hot pot at Sangsangcheom, Songdo

What Sangsangcheom Songdo Triple Street Branch is like

My partner's favorite food is shabu-shabu, especially the seafood kind, and their favorite restaurant for it is exactly this place, Sangsangcheom. We come here often whenever we're craving hot pot, and it's satisfied us every single time, so I wanted to introduce it!

It's a place where you can freely eat high-quality food, chuanchuan skewers, and even guobaorou (crispy sweet-and-sour pork) as much as you want!

Parking and location

Since it's inside Triple Street, parking is super convenient! Park in Building D and head up to the 1st floor, and you'll find it easily. No need to register your car separately — parking is free for up to 5 hours, just so you know.

It's located on the main street on the 1st floor of Building D, where all the popular restaurants are, so just look for the flashy red sign! It used to be on the 2nd floor, but it looks like they remodeled and made it even more comfortable.

Price and dining time

Lunch is ₩25,900 and weekend dinner is ₩29,900 — the price is really reasonable.

The dining time is generous too!! Plenty of time left even after eating a ton 😋

Interior and table setup

The interior is super spacious and clean! The tables are wide too, perfect for spreading everything out and digging in.

Each seat comes set up with a small plate and utensils, and there's also a little side table where you can stack your finished dishes — this was such a good touch!!!

Choosing two flavors with yuanyang guo

You can choose either one flavor or two, so we went with the yuanyang guo (双味/split pot) option so we could pick two!! There are so many broth varieties, and even if you choose something other than the basic broth, there's no extra charge!! If you order both lamb and beef, they bring them right to you.

Self-serve bar and sauce bar

In the middle of the restaurant, the self-serve bar and sauce bar are set up super neatly.

Sangsangcheom's peanut sauce is genuinely so good...

Make yourself a dipping sauce too, then go grab the ingredients to put in the hot pot!!

You can also freely drink things like bing hongcha (iced black tea)! It tastes like sweet black tea, so it's great for cutting through the greasiness. Unlimited soda too!

Starting with baek-kimchi (white kimchi) and danmuji (pickled radish) to cool down the numbing spice

There was also fruit for cleansing your palate!!

Guobaorou and fried snacks too

They even have guobaorou (crispy sweet-and-sour pork) and fried snacks ready to go as easy sides! True to being a Songdo favorite, every single dish had great quality.

Especially the guobaorou at Sangsangcheom is genuinely amazing... totally crispy on the outside and chewy inside, so delicious ㅠㅠㅠ

You can already tell the variety is solid just by looking, right?

From seafood to all kinds of fish balls, they even have beef tendon and scallops!!! I've never seen a hot pot place with beef tendon and scallops before... every single ingredient looked so fresh.

Chuanchuan skewers are a real specialty

Sangsangcheom in particular lets you eat chuanchuan (Chinese-style meat skewers) too, and these are genuinely a specialty.

There were tons of varieties like beef perilla leaf rolls and beef minari (water celery) rolls, all lightly seasoned with an insane amount of savory flavor!!! Sangsangcheom might be the only place in Incheon where you can eat unlimited chuanchuan of this quality.

Ox bone broth and meat refills

Once you bring back what you want from the salad bar, the broths are already set out too — the mala (numbing spicy) broth was delicious and numbing, but I especially loved how rich that ox bone broth was.

When you order meat, they slice it fresh right away and bring it out — the freshness is so good!! Even after multiple refills, the quality stays exactly the same...

I only eat lamb, and even the lamb had no gamey smell and tasted great, so even lamb beginners can try it without worry!!

Being able to bring back just the things you want to eat makes it even better, I think!

Wrapping it in tofu skin instead of rice paper is also super tender and nutty, so delicious!!!

And then the beef tendon I love so much...ㅜㅠ I personally don't prefer mala, so I only eat the white broth, but putting beef tendon into the ox bone broth basically turns it into its own beef tendon hot pot... the broth is seriously rich.

And popping these chuanchuan skewers off one piece at a time is such fun...

I already loved Sangsangcheom, so I've visited over and over, but this particular day the chuanchuan was especially delicious... there were so many varieties, but my favorites are the minari beef and chicken gizzard!!

The minari and perilla leaf were so fragrant, and the chicken gizzard was so chewy ㅜㅠ they were so good I just kept attacking those skewers

Finishing with fruit and ice cream

Finishing up with fruit and ice cream is perfect..☆ The ice cream had a rich, sweet milk flavor, which was exactly right for soothing my mouth after all that numbing mala!!!

There's candy and Febreze at the counter, and baby chairs are available too, just so you know.

If you're craving shabu-shabu or hot pot around Songdo Triple Street, I recommend Sangsangcheom!!!
