A platter of gopchang packed with gop (creamy inner fat) and grilled heart came with soybean powder and vegetables, and the meal ended with fried rice studded with garlic scapes that won me over even more than the gopchang. Ilpum Gopchang stays open until midnight, so it works for dinner or a late-night meal. ## Good to know - **Location**: Within a 5-minute walk of Ara Station Exit 2 - **Hours**: Daily, 4:00 PM – 12:00 AM - **Menu**: Gopchang, daechang, makchang, heart, mixed platter, fried rice - **Comes with**: Bean sprout kimchi soup, mukbap (chilled acorn jelly), soybean powder - **Event**: Free blue lemonade for a receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 22, 2026* I've been really into gopchang lately 😋 So this time I went to Ilpum Gopchang, a well-known spot in Geomdan New Town 💛 The prices were more reasonable than I expected and the gopchang was delicious, but honestly the fried rice at the end was the real star 🙌 I went for gopchang and left more obsessed with the fried rice 😂 If you're looking for a good gopchang spot near Ara Station, let me introduce Ilpum Gopchang ✨ ![Featured photo of Ilpum Gopchang in Geomdan New Town](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilpum-gopchang-arastation-fried-rice/ilpum-gopchang-arastation-fried-rice-01-7a1k1-1200.webp) ##
