Sadang gopchang grill for a date, flying fish roe fried rice: Bareun

Bareun Hwangso Gopchang (바른황소곱창) is a hanwoo (Korean beef) gopchang restaurant in Sadang, Seoul, about a 7-minute walk from Sadang Station Exit 10. On a date with her boyfriend, the writer shared somaek (soju mixed with beer), an assorted gopchang platter for 2 (48,000 won), free bean sprout fish cake soup and kkakdugi (radish kimchi) fried rice with flying fish roe (4,000 won), and the big pieces of gopchang, daechang and makchang with plenty of chives and onion were satisfying. Bareun Hwangso Gopchang is a Sadang gopchang spot worth returning to whenever a gopchang craving hits.
