Chinese

Samsin

삼신 Samsin means 'three gods'; the posts say it stands for Korean, Chinese and Japanese cooking brought together at one table.

Compiled from 24 blog posts read in fullSources →

A fusion Chinese restaurant on the second and third floors of a building just off Garosu-gil, a few minutes from Sinsa Station exit 8. It bills itself as mixing Korean, Chinese and Japanese cooking. People come for the Tokyo tangsuyuk (sweet-and-sour pork served in a hot pot, sauce poured at the table; 20,000 won small), jjajang (10,000–25,000 won) and jjamppong (13,000–18,000 won), or for the set lunch at 25,000 won (course A) or 35,000 won (course B). The hall is split by high partitions and there are private rooms. We read 30 posts dated 26 September to 17 October 2026; 24 record an actual meal. The other 6 are near-identical promotional write-ups with no meal, and we did not count them.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

What sets it apart

  1. Eighteen posts mention private rooms. Two say a room requires a minimum spend of 35,000 won per person; one diner picked the 35,000-won course B for exactly that reason. Several posts add that even the main hall has partitions tall enough to hide the next table.
  2. Twelve posts call the staff friendly, and they say why: four were brought a single jjamppong already split into two bowls without asking, and several were given gat-kimchi shrimp toast or mango sorbet on the house.
  3. Eight posts mention something free on arrival: a honey-filled hollow bun in six, peanuts with beer in two. One post calls the bun an opening-period welcome snack, so it may not last.
  4. Seven posts say tea is served instead of water — jasmine in one, a roasted tea in another, hot tea in a thermos in a third. One diner was told it is the house's own blend and not for sale.
6 more
  1. Eleven posts say the tangsuyuk stayed crisp after the sauce went on, usually adding that the hot pot kept it warm to the end; two describe it turning chewy as the sauce soaks in. One found the butter a bit heavy.
  2. Eight posts found portions generous; one (92907) felt they were small for the price. Two course diners were too full to finish the final noodles.
  3. Five posts say it is not expensive, one says it is, and two stay undecided. The good-value verdicts are mostly about the set lunches at 25,000 and 35,000 won; the two undecided posts thought the 25,000-won short-rib jjajang dear until they saw how much meat came with it.
  4. Five posts walked from Sinsa Station exit 8, four of them putting it at about three minutes, a short way into the side street off the Garosu-gil entrance.
  5. Three posts used the valet, which takes cars in front of the building. Several posts copy the rate as 5,000 won for two hours plus 1,000 won per extra 10 minutes; one says 5,000 won for three hours.
  6. Family outings are the largest group with six posts (parents, a mother, a sibling, children), then four couples and three groups of friends. One family brought children; one post mentions high chairs.

Where it is

Map showing where Samsin is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

From the station

Five posts walked from Sinsa Station exit 8, four of them putting it at about three minutes, a short way into the side street off the Garosu-gil entrance.

Getting inside

Second floor18 of 24 posts
Toilet inside1 of 24 posts
Separate restrooms1 of 24 posts

Eighteen posts describe a multi-floor space. The address says floors 2 and 3, but four posts talk about a 'first-floor room' or floors 1–3 — probably naming the first floor you reach by the stairs as the first, though we cannot confirm. Two diners were sent up to the third floor because the second was full; one notes big windows upstairs.

No post mentions a basement; every account places the restaurant upstairs.

Three posts mention climbing stairs to the entrance; no one says whether there is a lift, a step at the door, or whether a wheelchair or pushchair can get in. That is a gap in the record, not a confirmed absence.

Only one post describes the toilets: inside the restaurant, separate for men and women, clean. Another diner had to go up a floor from their room to reach one, so we do not know whether every floor has a toilet.

No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 30 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

2026-10-123 posts in one day
2026-10-113 posts in one day

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • No one reports queuing. One post saw two floors full by about 7 pm, two diners were sent upstairs because the second floor was full, and one recommends booking for lunch. One post mentions waiting seats at the top of the stairs. Eleven posts say they booked ahead.
  • Opinions on heat split three to two: three posts found dishes spicy (the pork belly, the chilli jjajang), two found the jjamppong or the chilli jjajang not spicy at all.
  • Opening hours are mostly copied from listings rather than observed. Twelve posts agree on 11:00–23:00 Sunday to Thursday, 11:00–24:00 Friday and Saturday, with a 16:00–17:00 break; three say 11:00–23:00 daily, one gives 11:00–24:00 with no days, and one puts Monday's break at 15:00. Last orders are mostly 22:00, or 23:00 on Friday and Saturday. Posts also disagree on whether lunch course A is lunch-only or weekday-only. Check before going.
  • All prices come from October 2026 posts. The restaurant is new, and some extras — the opening welcome bun, the review-promotion sorbet and shrimp toast — may not last. A meal works out at roughly 20,000 won a head for noodles plus a shared small tangsuyuk, or 25,000–35,000 won for a set course.
  • Most posts list the phone number as 0507-1405-4225; one gives a separate booking line, 010-9457-4225. Several booked through Naver or CatchTable.
  • Thirty posts landed within three weeks, most with the same search-keyword titles. Two disclose sponsorship and one was a review-programme visit; the rest say nothing. Six template posts with identical hashtags record no meal and were not counted. Claims about a Michelin two-star chef, a fourth-generation family business or celebrity regulars are the restaurant's own lines or hearsay, and we did not rely on them.
