After a 20-minute wait on a weekend around 6pm, the assorted gopchang for two (48,000 won) started with grilled heart, then moved on to gopchang packed with filling, plump daechang (large intestine), potatoes soaked in the grilling fat and a refill of chives. Bareun Hwangso Gopchang serves gopchang with no gamey smell, so the wait felt worth it. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1F, 4 Dongjak-daero 7-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul; 220m from Sadang Station Exit 10 - **Hours**: 4pm–midnight, open every day (closes early when the gopchang sells out) - **Assorted gopchang**: 24,000 won for one serving / 48,000 won for two - **What's in the assorted platter**: Gopchang (small intestine), daechang (large intestine) and makchang (abomasum), 250g in total; heart comes free and isn't counted in the weight - **Served with every order**: Pickled perilla leaves, chives, gopchang dipping sauce and bean sprout fish cake soup - **Amenities**: Group seating, takeout, Wi-Fi - **Parking**: 1 hour free at Sadang-dong 1044-15 (25 spaces) and Sadang-dong 1042-22 (40 spaces); text your license plate number after parking to register - **Wait time**: About 20 minutes for a weekend visit around 6pm *as written by the visitor on Aug 7, 2026* Looking for a good spot for a weekend drink in Sadang, I ended up at Bareun Hwangso Gopchang, a Sadang gopchang (beef intestine) restaurant.

Considering how pricey gopchang has gotten these days, the value felt pretty satisfying too. ![Basic side dishes of pickled perilla leaves, leeks, and gopchang sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-07-1xslt-966.webp) The basic side dishes are simple: pickled perilla leaves, leeks, and gopchang sauce. ![Fish cake soup loaded with bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-08-1w38k-966.webp) They also give you a fish cake soup loaded with bean sprouts, with a strong pepper flavor that goes really well as a drinking side dish. A spoonful between bites of gopchang kind of resets your palate. > Assorted gopchang for two: 48,000 won ![Plate with the assorted gopchang platter for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-09-mf1fx-1200.webp) The assorted platter is made up of gopchang, daechang, and makchang totaling 250g, with heart served on top like a freebie. They told us the heart doesn't count toward the gram weight. ![Gopchang and daechang on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-10-c5pxs-966.webp) The visuals were just... gorgeous. ![Close-up of the assorted gopchang cooking](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-11-u4y3f-966.webp) ![Heart and gopchang on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-12-5b8i3-966.webp) ## Why you eat the heart first, and how the gopchang tasted At Bareun Hwangso Gopchang, the staff tell you to eat the heart first. The heart was so, so tender and juicy. Unlike tough or dry heart I've had elsewhere, this one got savory the more you chewed it — genuinely delicious. No smell at all, you could tell right away it was fresh, to the point I wanted to order more heart on its own… ![Heart grilled and eaten first](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-13-1xmu9-966.webp) ![Cross-section of fat-packed gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-14-1jw08-966.webp) ![Plump daechang cooked through](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-15-1f36m-966.webp) The daechang was plump, and the gopchang was packed full of fat inside, so the more you chewed, the richer and more savory it got. There was no gamy smell whatsoever, so even people who usually worry about that with gopchang could probably enjoy this one haha. ![Potato side dish grilled in gopchang fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-16-by0xd-966.webp) ## Fat-soaked potatoes and chive refills The potato side dish that comes with the assorted platter soaks up the gopchang fat, turning crispy outside and moist inside — a surprisingly great treat. ![Potato side dish placed at the edge of the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-17-sumi2-966.webp) ![Refilled leeks placed on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-18-130cr-966.webp) ![Leeks grilled together with gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum-19-t6gf4-966.webp) Refilled the leeks to grill together in the gopchang fat~! ## Was Bareun Hwangso Gopchang worth the 20-minute wait? There was a wait, but the meal was satisfying enough that the time didn't feel wasted. Fresh gopchang with no gamy smell, fat packed all the way through, and plump daechang — everything about it was satisfying, whether for a drink or on a day you're craving gopchang. If you're looking for a good gopchang restaurant in Sadang, I recommend Bareun Hwangso Gopchang :) ## Where it is - Bareun Hwangso Gopchang (바른황소곱창) - 4 Dongjak-daero 7-gil, 1F, 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/@jokbal-back-room/sadang-gopchang-weekend-wait-modeum/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
