Menu prices and what we ordered at Omokgyo Gopchang

Omokgyo Gopchang's signature dish is the traditional handmade garlic gopchang for ₩28,900, made with Seosan yukjjok garlic (six-clove garlic). So many places use Chinese garlic these days, so I have to give major props for using Seosan yukjjok garlic 👏🏻 Because I'm from Seosan myself 😉 So I immediately ordered the traditional handmade garlic gopchang.

• Traditional handmade garlic gopchang ₩28,900
• Hwangso gopchang ₩27,900
• Omokgyo fried rice ₩6,900
• Cheese added
• Several bottles of soju..

Table setting and interior of the Mokdong main branch

There's even a photo booth machine right at the entrance! I forgot to use it, so make sure you don't miss it..

To a mother's 30-year traditional touch, we've added whole garlic cloves sourced directly from a Seosan garlic farm. Grown in yellow-earth fields, Seosan yukjjok garlic has outstanding flavor and aroma, and is the special ingredient that completes the deep flavor of our gopchang. Today, with honest hands and only good ingredients, we continue to make 'Seosan whole garlic gopchang' in Omokgyo, Seoul, just as we always have.

With a statement like that, how can you resist Seosan yukjjok garlic 🧄🧄

The basic side dish setup looks like this ☝🏻

There's garlic and chili peppers hanging as decor haha, so cute 🧄🌶️

Traditional handmade garlic gopchang and hwangso gopchang: how much gop is inside?

The main dishes, traditional handmade garlic gopchang and hwangso gopchang, arrive! And of course, no gopchang meal is complete without a fire show.

It's a shame I couldn't get a pretty shot because of the wind 🥹

They also grill green onion kimchi and chives alongside the gopchang. Great palate cleanser when things get greasy 😎

Can you see how packed with gop (intestine lining) this is? I want to eat it again already,,, 🤤 Honestly, I don't usually like garlic gopchang — I always felt the gop was missing and the garlic just floated around without blending in. I only ordered it because it was Seosan yukjjok garlic, but wow, it completely erased my past misconceptions. Good garlic really does pair well with gopchang, and thanks to Omokgyo Gopchang Mokdong Main Branch's own know-how, even the garlic gopchang was packed full of gop! I'm 100000% ordering garlic gopchang here again haha.

Finishing with Omokgyo fried rice plus cheese, 6,900 won

Korea's national dessert: fried rice!!! You have to get the fried rice no matter what. Dessert stomach is a separate stomach, right?

Adding cheese is a must 🧀 Melt the cheese, press it into scorched rice, and this is basically heaven.

Group bookings for about 70 people: a Mokdong company dinner spot

Apparently they were even featured on SBS Live Today! Terrestrial broadcasters aren't paid to air stuff like that, right? With group bookings for around 70 people available, this place works fine as a company dinner spot — this has been Omokgyo Gopchang Mokdong Main Branch.
