🍽️ What I ordered

I went to Sansol for 삼겹살 (pork belly), 목살 (pork neck) and 꼬들살 (kkodeulsal). That first bite of pork belly was so good. 🔥 Staff handled the grilling, so I could sit back and eat as the pieces were ready. Thick pieces of pork belly browned on the grill, and I dipped a cooked piece into the accompaniments before eating it. Pork belly and pork neck were ₩17,000 each. I finished with 된장찌개 (doenjang stew, ₩9,000) and 깍뚝볶음밥 (kkakdugi fried rice, ₩10,000), which came in a pan with seaweed flakes and green onion over the top. 산 더덕구이 (grilled deodeok root, ₩15,000) was another side I ordered, with soju and beer at ₩6,000 each.

👀 Visit impressions

The downdraft grill pulled the smoke down around the cooking surface, and after this meal I did not notice the usual barbecue smell on my clothes. 🍚 I would save room for the fried rice when ordering the meat. Inside, a frame with the Sansol name and a mountain painting hangs on the wall, and the meat display is set into a cave-like opening.
