About
Value-packed Korean barbecue restaurant near Sincheon Station serving 1kg platters of assorted beef cuts and pork with unlimited self-bar doenjang-jjigae.
Tucked right near Sincheon Station and Sammi Market in Sincheon-dong, Tongkeun Sohanmari (also known as Heodaegam’s Tongkeun Sohanmari) operates on an unpretentious premise: generous portions of beef at prices designed to feed a crowd. The cavernous dining room pairs dark, black ceilings with warm wood tables, creating a lively gathering place where extended families and dinner gatherings routinely fill long tables without stretching their wallets. The house signature is the Sohanmari (literally "a whole cow"), a sprawling one-kilogram platter that easily satisfies four to five diners. Arriving piled with diverse cuts—including paper-thin beef brisket (*usamgyeop*), short ribs (*sogalbisal*), chuck flap tail (*deungsimchuri*), marbled flower meat (*kkotsal*), flat iron steak (*buchaesal*), and strip loin (*chaekkeut deungsim*)—the meal naturally unfolds in deliberate stages. Seasoned regulars drop the curled ribbons of usamgyeop onto the grill first, letting them crisp up in seconds to jumpstart dinner while deciding which thicker cut to grill next. For those craving variety, pork platters (*dwaeji hanmari*) and half-orders (*banmari*) offer straightforward alternatives. The flow of the meal centers on the communal self-service station. Alongside crisp ssam greens, cabbage, perilla leaves, pickled perilla, seasoned scallions, and onion salad, the true centerpiece of the station is the bottomless *doenjang jjigae* (fermented soybean stew). Keeping the hot, savory broth refilled straight from the bar clears away the richness of the sizzling beef between grill loads. Pair the feast with bowls of rice or cold noodles—the icy broth of the *mul-naengmyeon* offers a cooling reset, particularly on sultry summer evenings when the active table grills push temperatures up. While the modest on-site parking fills quickly during dinner peaks, proximity to local public lots keeps arrivals simple. Tongkeun Sohanmari focuses squarely on the essentials: substantial platters, self-paced accompaniments, and straightforward feasting.
