While looking for a proper beef gopchang (grilled beef intestine) spot near Garak Market, I found Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship.
Two servings of savory beef gopchang came with an aged garlic sauce made with minari (water dropwort), plus house-aged kimchi — the sides were pretty impressive.
What really caught my eye was a kimchi-aging room set up separately on one side of the store, which made me feel like this place takes its food seriously.
Let me walk through the gopchang and the side dishes one by one.
A gopchang restaurant with its own kimchi-aging room
The first thing I noticed walking in was the kimchi-aging room set up separately on one side of the store.
Seeing that they don't just prep kimchi in the kitchen but built an entire aging room for it made me think — these people really care about their kimchi!
Sure enough, the basic sides included gat kimchi (mustard leaf kimchi), chonggak kimchi (baby radish kimchi), and green onion kimchi, all of which went great with the gopchang.

What is the aged garlic sauce with minari?
What felt a bit different at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang was the sauce — instead of a typical gopchang sauce, they serve an aged garlic sauce with minari (water dropwort) mixed in.
The sharp bite of garlic combined with the fragrant minari worked better with the gopchang than I expected. Dipping the savory gopchang lightly in the sauce added a deeper garlic flavor that made everything richer.
Green onion kimchi, steamed egg and the other free sides
The green onion kimchi in particular had a sharp, well-fermented flavor that paired nicely with the savory gopchang, so I kept reaching for it between bites.
Kimchi is a must with greasy food, and having these aged kimchi varieties on the table really refreshed my palate so I could keep eating.
Steamed egg also came out as a basic side — soft and fluffy, it was a nice light bite before the gopchang arrived.
Tasting the sides one by one before the gopchang even arrived built up my anticipation for the main dish.
Beef gopchang for two, grilled for you by the staff
We ordered beef gopchang for two. It went onto the grill and started cooking to a nice golden brown — mouthwatering just to watch.
The staff grilled the gopchang to just the right point, so we could eat comfortably without worrying about timing,
and taking a bite of the perfectly cooked gopchang, the outside was chewy while the inside was packed with savory fat.
The more I chewed, the more the savory flavor came through along with that distinctive chewy texture — a taste any gopchang fan would enjoy.
We ordered beef gopchang for two and didn't add anything else, just focused on the gopchang.
Eating the gopchang piece by piece was surprisingly filling, and with the sauce and kimchi to mix things up, I didn't get tired of it even by the end.
Who should eat at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang?
When you think of a gopchang restaurant, you tend to focus only on the main dish, but here the sides and sauce each had their own character, making it fun to eat together.
If you're looking for a good beef gopchang spot near Garak Market, Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship is worth a visit.
If you love beef gopchang and also enjoy a variety of side dishes alongside it, you'll have even more fun here.
In particular, the aged garlic sauce with minari paired so well with the gopchang that it personally stuck with me, and the steamed egg was soft enough to enjoy before and after the gopchang.
I had beef gopchang for two this time, but it's the kind of place that makes you want to try other menu items next time. If you want to enjoy savory beef gopchang along with that distinctive minari-aged garlic sauce in Garak-dong, keep this one in mind.
