Frozen Pork Belly
in Korea.

Jamsugyojip Seongsu

Jamsugyojip Seongsu is a Korean pork barbecue restaurant near Seongsu Station, known for geupraeng samgyeopsal, or thinly sliced frozen pork belly. The meat is quickly frozen and grilled at the table, giving the meal a different texture and cooking experience from the thick-cut samgyeopsal commonly found at Korean BBQ restaurants. Fresh pork belly and beef brisket are also available, but the frozen pork belly is the main reason people come here. The meal is built around more than just the meat. A large selection of vegetables, kimchi, green onion salad, garlic, peppers, sauces and other side dishes is served with the barbecue, and diners commonly add soybean paste stew or fried rice at the end. It is a lively, casual restaurant rather than a quiet dining room, and waiting can be common during busy periods. The late closing time also makes it an option for a late-night Korean BBQ meal in Seongsu.
