Sindang gopchang with free steamed egg and homemade kimchi: Jinseong
In short
Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Sindang Direct Branch is a Korean beef gopchang (grilled beef intestines) restaurant in Sindang-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, running for more than 15 years one minute from Sindang Station Exit 7. At 6:30pm on a weekday, with the restaurant nearly full, a local regular ordered one serving each of Korean beef gopchang, daechang (large intestine) and makchang (fourth stomach), plus anchovy noodle soup. The meal came with complimentary steamed egg, three homemade kimchis (green onion, mustard leaf and radish) and a pickled minari (water dropwort) garlic sauce. The juicy daechang and the house-made broth of the anchovy noodle soup made Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang a true Sindang-dong local favorite.

Today I want to introduce a beef gopchang place I'm a genuine regular at — "Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Sindang Direct Branch," which has been holding down Sindang-dong for the past 15 years.
As a Sindang-dong kid born in '28, I have memories of eating out here with my family as a child. Let me properly cook up this beef gopchang review for you!

The gopchang restaurant every Sindang-dong local already knows
If you're in Sindang and don't know Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang... (honestly) you're probably someone who just moved in or came to see a play at Chungmu Art Hall. All my neighborhood friends and their older siblings have eaten here at least once, and unanimously agreed it's delicious haha.
Tables are basically 4-person setups, accommodating everything from a party of two to large groups! This was around 6:30pm on a weekday, and the place was almost completely full (it really is that good).
This place has appeared on various TV shows like Saengsaengjeongboto, Live Today, and Tonight's Dinner. I'll explain in a bit, but the three-kimchi set and minari-pickle garlic sauce here are seriously killer menu items.
The menu: gopchang, daechang, makchang, and two sides
The menu is simple enough that Baek Jong-won himself would approve. Beef gopchang / beef daechang / beef makchang, and just two side dishes to compete on: kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) yangbap rice, and anchovy noodle soup. I ordered one serving each of gopchang, daechang, makchang, and one anchovy noodle soup!
Individually wrapped tableware makes it feel very hygienic! You can stash your bag inside the chair (so grateful that the gopchang smell doesn't get into it).
Three kimchis, sauce, and complimentary egg custard
While I was chatting with a friend, the kimchi and sauce arrived! They give you green onion kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, and radish kimchi — since they make it themselves, the depth of flavor was on another level.
You have to mix the sauce as soon as it comes out so the garlic and sauce flavors blend properly '-'
Whoa, they even gave us complimentary egg custard (steamed egg) (owner's the best). The egg custard was so fluffy and soft, it was genuinely delicious! 🐣
How the beef gopchang, daechang, and makchang trio tastes
The beef trio finally arrived (gopchang, daechang, makchang). No matter how many times I see it, that visual just screams 'can't-go-wrong' haha.
Grill it for about 5 more minutes like this and you get perfectly golden-brown grilled beef gopchang (★ ω ★) The staff grilled everything so skillfully that all I had to do was eat right away, which made things super easy 😝
The golden-brown trio of gopchang, makchang, and daechang, nicely grilled. This place packs the intestines full — the gopchang is seriously delicious!
The makchang was also perfectly chewy and tasty (the texture just gets me). Personally, dunking it fully in the sauce is heaven.
For me, the daechang was the best — so full of juice that I kept reaching for it with my chopsticks haha.
A palate cleanser when things get greasy: anchovy noodle soup
When it gets a bit too oily, the anchovy noodle soup resets your palate — total K.O. Since they make the broth themselves, the deep flavor of the soup was truly excellent! (I want to eat it again, seriously.)
Overall review: Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang, a Sindang beef gopchang favorite
- A local favorite that has run in Sindang-dong for over 15 years
- A beef gopchang restaurant near Jungang Market
- Recommended for dates near Sindang Station or group work dinners
The owner and staff are so friendly that I keep wanting to come back — a true Sindang-dong local favorite. If you're looking for a beef gopchang, daechang, and makchang restaurant near Chungmu Art Center or Jungang Market, I recommend "Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Sindang"!
