About
Charcoal-grilled aged pork specialist in Apgujeong featuring full grilling service, private room options, and corkage-free dining.
Tucked near Apgujeong Station’s Exit 4, Sinsa Gojip specializes in charcoal-grilled, aged Korean pork (handon) served without the usual grilling legwork. Diners gather in a polished dining room fitted with plush banquette booths and dedicated private rooms, making it a reliable destination for lively corporate gatherings or celebratory dinners. In an area notorious for parking struggles, free on-site parking in front of the building adds practical convenience. The kitchen pre-sears premium cuts before servers take over tableside grilling directly over glowing charcoal braziers. Popular orders center on thick cuts of samgyeopsal (pork belly), moksal (pork neck), and Jeju black pork ogyeopsal, alongside combination sets featuring tender galmaegisal (skirt meat). Servers slice the meat into uniform portions alongside batons of baek-kimchi (white kimchi), which lightly caramelize on the edges of the grate. The table spreads wide with accoutrements: whole-grain mustard, wasabi, coarse salt, fermented makjang, salted pollock roe (myeongran-jeot), pickled garlic leaves (myeonginamul), and intensely seasoned green onion kimchi. Sheets of gamtae (seaweed) are available to wrap around hot bites of pork, offering an earthy, mineral-rich contrast to the rendered fat. Beyond standard table fare, grilled sea scallops make a frequent appearance alongside the meat, adding a tender, seafood-forward layer to the meal. Carbohydrate cravings are satisfied at the end with comforting earthen bowls of doenjang-sulbap (soybean paste stew packed with rice) or iron-plate fried rice topped with flying fish roe and melted cheese. With a curated wine list on hand and a corkage-free policy that draws groups bringing their own bottles of single malt whisky, Sinsa Gojip balances the conviviality of an upscale Gangnam barbecue house with attentive service.
