Jaeseonrang’s reviewRecommended
“Gopchang full of whole gop and green onion kimchi grilled as if fried are superb”
- Hanu Gopchang (Korean beef small intestine)BestHas the most whole gop (creamy fat) inside
- Hanu Daechang (Korean beef large intestine)Grilled crisp first to render out the fat
- Makchang (beef abomasum)Just so-so, ordinary
- Service
- Staff grill the gopchang and daechang first, then grill the extras and green onion kimchi too
- Value
- Pricey but generous
- Tips
- Dip generously in the signature sauce
- Eat it with the kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) and pa-kimchi (green onion kimchi) grilled as if fried in oil
