Returning a year later, the writer signed the waitlist at 8pm on a weekday, got in after just 10 minutes, and ordered two servings of Korean beef gopchang at 25,000 won each with a complimentary cheonyeop (beef tripe), odeng-tang (fish cake soup) and somaek (soju and beer). The pre-grilled gopchang, unlimited chive salad refills and open-door yajang atmosphere at Bareun Hwangso Gopchang were all exactly as they were a year ago. ## Good to know - **Location**: Food alley between Sadang and Isu stations (1F, 4 Dongjak-daero 7-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul) - **Korean beef gopchang**: 25,000 won per serving (two servings ordered) - **Menu lineup**: Korean beef gopchang, daechang (large intestine), makchang, yeomtong (heart), mixed grill platter, plus sides and drinks - **Sides**: Buldak tongtong noodles, kkakdugi (radish kimchi) fried rice, odeng-tang (fish cake soup) - **Wait time**: About 10 minutes on a weekday 8pm visit; leave your phone number and they call you - **Seating**: About 8 tables inside, doors kept open for an outdoor yajang feel - **Freebies and refills**: Complimentary cheonyeop (beef tripe), unlimited chive salad refills, kimchi, garlic and wasabi on request - **Price reference**: ₩25,000 ≈ $18.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Main shot of the beef gopchang table setting at Bareun Hwangso Gopchang in Sadang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-01-1ugo2-1200.webp) I'd been craving this ever since my visit last year, and I finally made it back to my number one pick for Sadang gopchang, Bareun Hwangso Gopchang. Even a year later, the taste and the waiting system were both just as perfect, so let me give you the full rundown of this visit. > Bareun Hwangso Gopchang ![Exterior of Bareun Hwangso Gopchang in the Sadang Station food alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-02-1pp3u-740.webp) ## Where is Bareun Hwangso Gopchang? The food alley between Sadang and Isu stations Bareun Hwangso Gopchang sits in the food alley between Sadang Station and Isu Station, and it's packed with people no matter when you go. It's so popular that a wait is basically guaranteed during peak hours. ![Waiting registration spot outside Bareun Hwangso Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-03-146ea-556.webp) ## How long is the wait? 10 minutes at 8pm on a weekday The waiting tip is: as soon as you arrive at the restaurant, don't hesitate — register for a table right away. On weekends or during evening peak hours, showing up right at opening is basically the rule. I went on a weekday around 8pm and still had about a 10-minute wait. They take your phone number and call you, and since there's a claw machine right in front, I killed time there while waiting. ![Menu board and price list at Bareun Hwangso Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-04-11c8j-645.webp) ## Menu and prices: Korean beef gopchang at 25,000 won a serving The menu's main lineup is beef gopchang, daechang, makchang, yeomtong (beef heart), and a mixed grill platter that lets you try everything at once. The sides and drinks are also well put together, so there's plenty to choose from. We're pure gopchang people, so we ordered two servings of beef gopchang. The price is ₩25,000 per serving. I tried both the buldak tongtong noodles and the kkakdugi (radish kimchi) fried rice — both were excellent. ![Beef gopchang with extra garlic requested on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-05-heva5-740.webp) Kimchi, garlic and wasabi come out if you just ask, so don't forget to request them. I like loading up on garlic and eating my gopchang garlic-style, so I asked for extra garlic. ![Table seating inside Bareun Hwangso Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-06-w94ra-669.webp) ![Doors kept wide open for the yajang atmosphere at Bareun Hwangso Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-07-17ajz-740.webp) ## Inside the restaurant: 8 tables and open doors for a yajang night After about 10 minutes of waiting, we got seated. There are about 8 tables inside. They keep the doors wide open, which gives it a great outdoor yajang (street-tent-style) atmosphere. ![Basic side dish of chive salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-08-do6m1-740.webp) ![Pickled perilla leaves served alongside the gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-09-1wnd4-740.webp) Once you order, the basic side dishes come out fast. Chive salad and pickled perilla leaves showed up — the perfect pairing for gopchang. ![Plate of complimentary cheonyeop (beef tripe)](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-10-1psd3-740.webp) ## Free cheonyeop (beef tripe) and odeng-tang with your order They asked if we eat cheonyeop (beef tripe), and then out came a complimentary plate — cheonyeop they'd never serve unless it's fresh. Dipped in sesame oil sauce, apparently the chewy texture is a real treat. Personally, I'm not a big cheonyeop fan though. ![Odeng-tang (fish cake soup) simmering in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-11-mwbvb-740.webp) ![Spicy odeng-tang broth with bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-12-maawc-652.webp) Then came the odeng-tang (fish cake soup), bubbling away in a hot stone pot with a spicy, hot broth that's honestly irresistible. You could easily polish off a whole bottle of soju before the main dish even arrives. With bean sprouts in it, the broth has a refreshing, spicy kick. ![A plate of pre-grilled beef gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-13-rxogz-740.webp) ## The beef gopchang arrives pre-grilled Finally, the star of the show — beef gopchang — arrives. It comes pre-cooked once in the kitchen, so at the table you just need to grill it a little more, which makes things easy. ![Beef gopchang and yeomtong on the grill with chives and onions](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-14-56es8-740.webp) From gopchang packed with fat to yeomtong, the grill was completely full, with chives, onions and mushrooms grilled alongside — absolute perfection. The chives turned tangy and even tastier as they cooked. And once you finish the chive salad, refills are unlimited. ![Staff-trimmed gopchang and vegetables on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-15-1o37l-740.webp) Once the food arrives, a staff member comes by and trims everything so the vegetables in the middle don't stick and burn, making it easier to eat. Don't forget to eat the yeomtong first, since it can get tough if it sits too long. ![A glass of somaek enjoyed alongside the gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-16-r115y-m-740.webp) ## Ask for your somaek split into two 500cc glasses You can't have greasy gopchang without somaek (soju-beer mix). The moment I saw draft beer on the menu, I knew I had to have it, so we ordered soju and draft beer together. When I mentioned we were drinking somaek, they thoughtfully split it into two 500cc glasses. Sipping somaek between bites cuts right through the richness — tastes like honey. ![A well-grilled piece of gopchang dipped in the special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-17-7u5b1-740.webp) ![A piece of gopchang paired with chive salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-18-1inf7-740.webp) Dip a well-grilled piece of gopchang in the special sauce and it's the textbook definition of crispy outside, melty inside. It goes great with the chive salad, or with the pickled perilla leaves they gave us. ![Overview of the table with gopchang and sides at Bareun Hwangso Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip-19-1oh4d-966.webp) ## Verdict on Bareun Hwangso Gopchang a year later Bareun Hwangso Gopchang didn't let me down even on this year-later revisit. From the fat-packed gopchang with zero odd smell, to the generous free extras, the wide-open airy vibe, the yajang atmosphere, and even the refreshing new draft beer — it was all perfect. If you're looking for a great Sadang gopchang spot, I recommend Bareun Hwangso Gopchang on a nice day. ## Where it is - Bareun Hwangso Gopchang (바른황소곱창) - 4 Dongjak-daero 7-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 동작구 동작대로7길 4 1층 바른황소곱창 - 37.4800803, 126.9813535 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B0%94%EB%A5%B8%ED%99%A9%EC%86%8C%EA%B3%B1%EC%B0%BD/@37.4800803,126.9813535,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@everyday-plate-seoul-2/sadang-beef-tripe-weekday-wait-tip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
