# Gopchang restaurant in Geomdan, Incheon with whelk noodles: Hwang Gop - By Somin Yeo (https://superchart.com/en/@jayang-pier-noodle/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Geomdan, Incheon - Sponsored: This visit was written after receiving a complimentary meal from the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@jayang-pier-noodle/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@jayang-pier-noodle/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/index.md) ## In short Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch is a grilled beef intestine (gopchang) restaurant on Ieum 1-ro in Geomdan New Town, Incheon. The order was a mixed gopchang platter for two, starting with pre-grilled beef heart, followed by gopchang hot pot in an earthenware bowl, golbaengi (whelk) bibim noodles and fried rice to finish. Mukbap (acorn jelly in broth) and yukhoe (raw beef) come free with the table, and the gopchang has no gamey smell, so Hwang Gop is worth a stop if you are looking for gopchang near Ara Station. ## Good to know - **Address**: 420 Ieum 1-ro, Sangga-dong 1F Unit 9, Geomdan-gu, Incheon - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 15:00–24:00 - **Last order**: 23:00 - **Parking**: Available - **What was ordered**: Mixed gopchang platter (2 servings), gopchang hot pot, golbaengi (whelk) bibim noodles, fried rice - **Table setting**: Free mukbap (acorn jelly in broth) and yukhoe (raw beef), plus a self-serve side bar *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Signature gopchang photo at Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-01-1492d-1200.webp) Hi, I'm Matchul, and the moment summer ended I quit working out. No more diet, no more discipline. Nobody can stop me now. Today, to welcome the chilly autumn air, I went out for some gopchang (grilled beef intestine) to grease up my stomach. Gopchang is one of those foods that's delicious no matter when you eat it, which somehow makes it feel that much guiltier. Let's see just how big a sin today's gopchang turns out to be. ## Where is Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch, and when is it open? Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch is located at 420 Ieum 1-ro, Geomdan-gu, Incheon. It's open Monday through Sunday from 15:00 to 24:00, with last order at 23:00, and parking is available. ## What does the Hwang Gop dining room look like? ![Exterior sign of Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-02-16299-900.webp) ![Banner promoting the aged kimchi gopchang at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-03-g4sz7-900.webp) The exterior is pretty clean-looking. The sign is neat with a cute cow drawn on it. Right at the entrance, a banner promoting the new mukeunji (aged kimchi) gopchang menu catches your eye. ![Restaurant interior with marble tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-04-z8mxn-900.webp) ![Clean, neatly arranged seating area of the gopchang restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-05-1qbw0-900.webp) The inside was tidy too. Gopchang places tend to splatter a lot of oil around, so I appreciated that they'd gone with marble tables, which are easy to keep clean — a thoughtful detail. ![View of the kitchen prep area visible from the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-06-1kj4h-900.webp) You can sit and actually watch the food being prepped inside, which made me trust the place even more while eating. ## Hwang Gop menu and what to order ![Sign explaining how to properly enjoy gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-07-1phpp-900.webp) Before choosing anything, there's a sign explaining the proper way to enjoy gopchang. ![Grilled gopchang menu board at Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-08-12nf5-900.webp) ![Part of the menu board listing the mixed gopchang platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-09-5pl1w-900.webp) ![Sign introducing the new aged kimchi gopchang menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-10-hkma4-854.webp) I was curious about the new mukeunji gopchang, but since today was going to be an all-out oil party, I ordered the mixed platter instead. ![Side dish menu board including yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-11-oqug4-858.webp) ![Menu board listing the gopchang hot pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-12-g9nxx-850.webp) ![Menu board with side dishes and prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-13-1vulp-851.webp) There were so many side dishes to choose from, including yukhoe, that I had a hard time deciding. And I loved that they offer a gopchang hot pot in a stone bowl so you can taste the stew version too. When you're just grilling, sometimes you crave a hot, savory broth, but gopchang stew is usually pricey elsewhere. Living up to its reputation as a gopchang spot near Ara Station, this place lets you enjoy both the grill and the hot pot. ![Simple menu board on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-14-1qzqx-900.webp) There's also a simple menu board on the wall, which I snapped a photo of. ## Self-serve bar and the free mukbap and yukhoe ![Self-serve bar for side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-15-1t1rw-900.webp) ![Side dish containers at the self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-16-12dr0-900.webp) A self-serve bar is so important. These days I almost feel let down at places without one — glad this spot has it stocked up. Food prices are high enough as it is, so let's help ourselves to the side dishes without hesitation! ![Standard table setting including yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-17-19nvc-m-966.webp) Here's the standard table setting. And no, we didn't order this separately — this all came as the default spread. That thing next to it that looks like yukhoe? It is, in fact, yukhoe. ![Complimentary mukbap (acorn jelly noodles)](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-18-347vy-900.webp) ![Complimentary plate of yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-19-afr0w-900.webp) Mukbap (acorn jelly noodles) and yukhoe, which are usually sold as small side dishes elsewhere, are given here for free right from the start — honestly touching. ## Mixed gopchang platter for two and the gopchang hot pot ![Mixed gopchang platter for two on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-20-18ai9-900.webp) Now the main event arrives. The mixed gopchang platter for two is seriously generous. You start with the beef heart, then work through the other pieces in order of how quickly they cook. Since everything comes pre-grilled, you don't need to cook it for long. The heart was plump, chewy, and delicious. ![Gopchang hot pot filled with beef intestine](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-21-1pnk7-900.webp) Can't forget the gopchang stew. It comes in a stone pot with a solid amount of intestine inside too. Can you see how hearty this is? When you're deep into greasy grilled gopchang, you start craving a hot, refreshing broth, and a spoonful of this hits the spot perfectly. There was also precious myeongi namul (mountain garlic leaves), which I used to wrap up bites here and there. Myeongi namul is basically the cure for greasy food. ## Best sides at Hwang Gop: whelk bibim noodles and fried rice ![Bibim noodles topped generously with golbaengi (whelk)](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-22-1tjsf-900.webp) ![Golbaengi bibim noodles mixed with tangy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-23-1nl7m-900.webp) This is the golbaengi (whelk) bibim noodles, and I strongly, strongly recommend it. It's loaded with whelk, and the noodles pair perfectly with the tangy sauce — such a great side dish order! It's also cheap, so you can add it without a second thought. ![Finishing fried rice with egg mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles/hwanggop-geomdan-gopchang-jeongol-noodles-24-1bfsq-900.webp) And of course, fried rice to finish — a Korean virtue, really. The fried rice even had egg mixed in, which made it clear that not a single side dish here is an afterthought. ## Is Hwang Gop Geomdan New Town Branch worth a visit?
