Gimpo Jangi-dong Korean BBQ with 700g six-cut platter: Daebak Hwangso

Craving gopchang (grilled beef intestines), I searched around Jangi-dong and found Daebak Hwangso Gopchang. The reviews were so good I booked a table right away.

Where is Daebak Hwangso Gopchang, and where do you park?

Daebak Hwangso Gopchang is at 41-28 Gimpohangang 1-ro 78beon-gil, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Hours are Sun–Thu 11:00–23:00 (last order 22:00) and Fri–Sat 14:00–24:00 (last order 23:00).

What made it especially great was that it's directly connected to a public parking lot.

Inside the restaurant: atmosphere and seating

The lively energy hits you as soon as you walk in. That bustling-yet-cozy vibe unique to gopchang restaurants filled the whole space. Tables were spaced generously too, so it was a comfortable layout for enjoying a few drinks with friends.

What comes on the 700g six-cut mixed grill platter?

What we ordered that day was Daebak Hwangso Gopchang's mixed grill platter. It comes generously piled with six cuts — gopchang, makchang, daechang, honeycomb tripe, heart, and beef brisket — at 700g total. Try the mixed platter first, then add more of whichever cut you like.

Ordering by table QR code

Just scan the code on the table and you can order. First time trying it and it was so cool. Older guests just order with staff directly, and the staff are kind about taking orders, so don't worry — just order however's easiest for you.

Really satisfying that it wasn't just plain bottled water.

Side dishes and unlimited liver and omasum

Side dishes that pair well with the richness of gopchang, makchang, and daechang.

On top of that, liver and tripe are unlimited, which was great to pair alongside the grilled gopchang. The liver had a soft, nutty bite, and the tripe's crunchy texture kept pulling me back for more — I refilled it again and again.

Cool and spicy bean sprout soup. With a spread this generous plus unlimited liver and tripe, it was genuinely filling and great value.

Cut by cut: Korean beef only

Another reason I could trust the food more was that every cut is 100% Korean beef (hanwoo). It definitely tasted cleaner and free of any gamey smell because of that.

The heart was chewy yet clean-tasting, doing a great job cutting through the richness. The honeycomb tripe had that fun, distinctive chew that made trying a bit of everything feel worthwhile.

The daechang was, as expected, richly fatty and nutty.

The gopchang was chewy, with a burst of nutty juiciness with every bite.

The beef brisket melted softly in the mouth, a nice cut to eat between the richer ones without feeling too heavy. Combined with the kimchi laid underneath getting grilled in the fat, it was a great pairing.

They also put tteok (rice cakes) on the grill, and grilled in the fat until almost fried, it was seriously a hidden gem!

The house sauce and fresh chives

The real highlight here is Daebak Hwangso Gopchang's special sauce. Eating with this sauce, no matter how much I ate, it never got heavy or tiring. Both savory umami and nutty flavor came through together, striking a great balance that brought out the gopchang's own flavor while cutting the richness.

We also had it with the seasoned chives, and the seasoning soaked in nicely, pairing really well with the gopchang.

Finishing with fried rice

After finishing the grill, we wrapped up with fried rice. Every grain, well-seasoned, was so good I kept going back for more spoonfuls. This place has great seasoning across the board, and the fried rice didn't disappoint either — the kind of finishing dish that has you scraping the pan clean.

What to know before you visit Daebak Hwangso Gopchang

Before visiting, check Naver for fried rice and beef brisket coupons — it makes the meal much more worthwhile. If I'd gone without knowing these coupons existed, I would have really missed out, so I'd definitely recommend grabbing them before your visit and using them.

If you're looking for a gopchang spot in Jangi-dong, Daebak Hwangso Gopchang comes highly recommended. A mixed grill platter made entirely of Korean beef, plus that special sauce, kept the bites coming without ever feeling heavy, and even the finishing fried rice left nothing to complain about. Checking out, the owner sent us off with a sweet candy — the perfect ending.
