Heart-free gopchang BBQ revisit at Isu Station: Baekho Yangdaechang

Where is Baekho Yangdaechang and when is it open?

Baekho Yangdaechang (백호양대창) is a charcoal gopchang (beef small intestine) and daechang (beef large intestine) restaurant at 30 Dongjak-daero 25-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, 1st floor, 130 m from Exit 10 of Isu Station. It's open Mon–Sat 16:00–24:00 and Sunday 16:00–23:00, and you can use the paid parking at Hana Bank Isu Station branch.

Today's story is my second visit to Baekho Yangdaechang at Isu Station! I remembered the gopchang and daechang grilled over charcoal with real smoky flavor, so I came back for more 🤗

That old-school look from the outside is totally my style, right? Baekho Yangdaechang sits tucked into an alley!

Right at the entrance there are super appetizing food photos on display 🤤 I was hungry before I even got in

Baekho Yangdaechang seating and 2-hour time limit

Inside Baekho Yangdaechang there are old-school round tables, and further back there are sofa seats and rectangular tables too 🙂

There's a huge menu board on the wall!

It's a popular place, so please note that when there's a wait, seating is limited to 2 hours ✔️

This is the basic table setup 😇 Just the side dishes you actually need.

Naver receipt review event at Baekho Yangdaechang

The Naver receipt review event at Baekho Yangdaechang is such a great deal, so definitely!! join in 🔥 I took part hoping to get the soft tofu stew (sundubu-jjigae), but they'd run out of ingredients, so I got the crab cheese omelet instead.

Does Baekho Yangdaechang's charcoal gopchang really taste smoky?

The fire at Baekho Yangdaechang is real charcoal! It's not easy to get smoky flavor into gopchang, but this place pulls it off ☺️

Don't like heart? Order gopchang and daechang separately

I ordered one serving each of gopchang (₩18,900) and daechang (₩15,900)! I'm not a big fan of heart, so I try to order gopchang and daechang separately rather than the mixed plate 🥰

A staff member grilled everything for us, so it was super easy to eat! Maybe because it's charcoal, the aroma was so strong my mouth was watering 🤭 The smoke gets sucked away by the extractor right away, so not much smell clung to my clothes, which was nice 👍🏻

They put the well-cooked daechang on the edge of the grill! Then all we have to do is take it like baby birds 😉

After the daechang, the gopchang goes on, ta-da 🌟 They add garlic too 🧄 and cook the gopchang golden brown on both sides.

Crab cheese rolled omelet from the review event

This is the Baekho Yangdaechang crab cheese omelet (₩7,900) I got from the Naver review event! Look at that, the visuals alone are crazy 🤪 Inside it's packed with chewy crab and rich melted cheese! It's even topped with plenty of ketchup, so it went perfectly with rice too.

And they stack the fully cooked gopchang up like a tower on our side. Even better 🖤 Let's take them out one by one 💞

Why Baekho Yangdaechang has so many repeat customers

From what I can see, Baekho Yangdaechang has lots of repeat customers and regulars, so I've put together the reasons‼️

• Taste first, taste second: Based on 7 years of experience as a food buyer, the owner reportedly sources fresh ingredients directly. Only products aged 48 hours at low temperature, soft and rich, are served, and they say the seasoning paste (dadaegi) and side dishes are developed in-house ☺️
• A restaurant that grills over real charcoal: After a first pass on the grill, handsome staff grill it for you, so eyes, nose and mouth are all happy 💗
• Snacks that make soju go down easy: Charcoal-smoky, clean and mild flavor is the highlight 👍🏻 The gopchang hotpot (jeongol), with broth the reviews swear by, is the kicker (udon noodles come standard!), and with just the side dishes and spicy soft tofu stew you can finish a bottle of soju 🍺

I recommend Baekho Yangdaechang as a gopchang place near Sadang and Isu Station 👍🏻✔️
