Visiting with a baby and a friend, the writer ordered the couple set (small) for 46,000 won plus two self fried rice orders for 4,000 won, and even the friend who is sensitive to gaminess found no off smell. With a baby chair on hand and the whole set this satisfying, Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol is a place worth returning to. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 16:30–00:30 (last order 23:30) - **Parking**: No lot; street parking nearby (fairly tricky) - **Baby chair**: Yes (1) - **Couple set (small)**: 46,000 won - **Self fried rice**: 2 orders, 4,000 won - **Fanta**: 2,000 won - **Alcohol**: 5,000 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Signature photo of Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol Masan Daetgeori Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-01-1riqb-1200.webp) ## Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol Masan Daetgeori Main Branch: the basics Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol in Haeun-dong is open daily from 16:30 to 00:30, with last order at 23:30. There's no dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to park on a nearby street, and there's one baby chair available. Today I brought my baby and a friend to Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol, the Daetgeori gopchang hotpot and seokgalbi spot I've now visited N times. Even my friend, who's super picky about food, admitted this place is delicious! Honestly, whoever you bring here says the same thing. Here's my write-up after another great meal! ## Where is Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol, and can you park? ![Exterior of Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol behind Daetgeori](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-02-164g4-966.webp) This is the exterior of Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol, tucked behind Daetgeori. Since it's in Daetgeori, parking is a bit of a hassle...( ᵕ - ᵕ̩̩ ) There's no separate lot, so I parked on a nearby street and walked in. ![Interior seating at Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-03-1olwi-966.webp) Here's the interior of this Daetgeori galbi favorite. It's bigger inside than it looks from outside! I came on a weekday evening and there were quite a few customers. Since it's near the university, I always see a lot of college students here too haha. Of course, it's also great for family visits! ## Menu and couple set prices at Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol ![Menu board at Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-04-1xifd-966.webp) ![Menu board listing gopchang jeongol and seokgalbi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-05-11hg6-966.webp) ![Menu board showing alcohol prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-06-f9ioo-m-966.webp) Here's the menu at this favorite behind Daetgeori. They have both gopchang jeongol (tripe hotpot) and seokgalbi (grilled short rib), and both are so good that I strongly recommend ordering the couple set so you get to try both ~♥ Alcohol was priced averagely at 5,000 won. - Couple set (small) ₩46,000 - Self-fried rice ×2 ₩4,000 - Fanta ₩2,000 ![Baby chair set up at Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-07-197bt-966.webp) There's a baby chair ready, so you can visit comfortably with a baby too haha. So grateful my baby stayed calm and good today ## Side dishes and muksabal (chilled acorn jelly soup) ![Basic side dishes served at Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-08-mdv6o-966.webp) ![Side dish spread with sujebi, sundae, and muksabal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-09-c41ea-966.webp) This is the basic table setting at this favorite behind Daetgeori. The sujebi (hand-torn dough) and sundae (blood sausage) are meant to go into the gopchang jeongol that comes later. The muksabal (acorn jelly in cold broth) was refreshing and delicious too, so I refilled it once haha. ## Does the gopchang hotpot smell gamey? ![A pot of gopchang jeongol before boiling](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-10-787gn-966.webp) And there it is! The gopchang jeongol has arrived. This broth is seriously amazing... My friend, who's super sensitive to the gamey smell in tripe, ate it up with zero complaints about any smell! Looking at these photos makes me want to eat it again. ![Gopchang jeongol simmered with sundae and sujebi noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-11-10230-966.webp) Once the gopchang jeongol arrives, add in the sundae and sujebi noodles they gave you earlier and simmer for about 5 more minutes before eating. Bubbling away ~ (๑•̀༚•́)ฅ ## Why the seokgalbi (grilled short rib) is worth ordering ![Seokgalbi served as part of the couple set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-12-3tg1u-966.webp) After the gopchang jeongol comes the seokgalbi, and you absolutely have to try this too ~ It's so tender and sweet, seriously delicious.(*ૂ❛ᴗ❛*ૂ) I can't forget this taste...... ![Seokgalbi eaten with ssammu radish wrap](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-13-1h6dr-966.webp) Eaten with the ssammu (pickled radish wrap) that comes alongside, it's absolutely amazing! The taste is different from other places' seokgalbi ~ To my taste, this is the best seokgalbi around!!>..< The texture is insane... ![Rich hotpot broth with Korean beef tripe and glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-14-qhniq-966.webp) That rich, deep broth... Korean beef tripe, beef, mushrooms, sujebi noodles, sundae, plump glass noodles — there's so much to eat and I love it♥ Great with a bowl of rice, and also perfect as a drinking snack! My husband, after coming here with me the first time, took his own friends here later and apparently drank the night away haha. ## Frying two orders of self fried rice at the table ![Two bowls of ingredients for self-fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-15-zh0xc-966.webp) For our meal today, instead of plain rice, I tried the self-fried rice option. Frying up two orders! ![Fried rice mixed after scooping out some broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-16-k5drp-966.webp) Scoop out just the right amount of broth, then mix and fry it all together ~ ![Finished gopchang jeongol self-fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan/yeongju-gopchang-hotpot-daetgeori-masan-17-dof65-966.webp) Since the gopchang jeongol itself is so tasty, the fried rice turned out delicious too haha. Next time I'm ordering a bowl of rice AND the fried rice — promise to myself, from your resident foodie ..★ ## Is Yeongju Gopchang Jeongol worth it for dinner or drinks in Daetgeori? If you're looking for a Daetgeori restaurant or a Daetgeori drinking spot ~!! I seriously, highly recommend this place... It's so, so good haha. Whoever you bring here will probably say the same?! Hahahaha This is a place I will visit again!! And again!!
