Gopchang BBQ set for two at Pangyo Station: Pangyo Insaeng Gopchang

Pangyo Insaeng Gopchang (판교인생곱창) is a beef gopchang (grilled beef intestine) restaurant in the office district by Pangyo Station in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, run for 9 years with the main branch as its focus. On a Sunday evening, the writer had the Insaeng Hanpan set for two, a single platter of gopchang, daechang (large intestine), makchang (fourth stomach) and heart that staff grilled from start to finish, while grilled scallion kimchi and chive salad cut the richness so it never felt heavy. Pangyo Insaeng Gopchang is not the place for a quiet talk, but it is a Pangyo Station gopchang spot worth a visit for full, rich gopchang without having to grill it yourself.
