Hello! Today, I’m going to introduce you to a delicious samgyeopsal (pork belly) restaurant located near Suwon Station, Saengmacha Suwon Station Branch. Many of you might already know it, but if you search for samgyeopsal restaurants near Suwon Station, you’ll likely find this place situated in the middle of Rodeo Street. I decided to visit after hearing rumors that the prices were very reasonable.

Samgyeopsal for 2-3 people for 24,900 won – that’s an incredible price, isn’t it? Without hesitation, we went right in.

This was a visit on a summer day with my friend Suhyun, and I’m only getting around to posting about it now. Fortunately, since we visited during an off-peak hour, there weren’t too many people.

Ordering was done through a table order system. The interior of the restaurant was quite spacious.

Lunch Special Menu

They also have a lunch special menu, and again, the prices are very affordable. Prices are rising frighteningly these days, but this place maintains reasonable prices.

Ordered the Medium Samgyeopsal Platter

We ordered the medium samgyeopsal platter shown on the A-frame sign. Mushrooms, onions, pineapple, cheese, perilla leaves, and even shrimp! We were surprised by the variety of side dishes provided as standard. Wow!

Using the Self-Serve Bar

If you run out of side dishes, you can get more yourself from the self-serve bar. Everything you need, such as plates, cutlery, and sauces, is prepared there. I really love kimchi and garlic, and having a self-serve bar like this allows me to enjoy them to my heart’s content without feeling self-conscious. Sometimes I feel a bit apologetic when I have to ask for refills multiple times.

Doesn’t the samgyeopsal look really good?

Taste Evaluation

The first bite, of course, samgyeopsal can’t taste bad! It tasted even better because I was very hungry. However, as I ate more and more after filling up, I started to feel that the meat was becoming tough. Was the meat too thick, or did my jaw get a little tired the more I chewed? It wasn’t that it tasted bad, but with so many delicious meat restaurants these days, I didn’t feel anything special. However, Saengmacha has the great advantage of being inexpensive. I think it’s an excellent choice for a budget-friendly samgyeopsal restaurant. That said, from my perspective, as someone who doesn’t skimp on food, I don’t think I would revisit.

And the doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew)… this was truly delicious!

We finished off with a clean taste of green Jinro soju.

It feels like I’ve posted somewhat carelessly today, but that’s just my imagination, right? If you’re looking for a budget-friendly samgyeopsal restaurant in Suwon Station, I recommend Saengmacha Suwon Station Branch. The dining area is spacious, so it seems suitable for group gatherings as well.
