The order was one serving of traditional handmade garlic gopchang and one serving of mixed gopchang — heart, makchang, daechang, honeycomb tripe and ox gopchang — each dipped in its own sauce, including a shiitake wasabi sauce, with the spicy sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew) that arrives as a basic side dish to reset the palate. For a first visit at Omokgyo Gopchang, start with those two servings and add more cuts to taste. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 226-13 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul (Omokgyo Gopchang) - **Hours**: Mon–Thu 16:00–22:40, Fri 15:00–22:40, Sat–Sun 12:10–22:40 - **Parking**: No parking on site — use Mokdong public parking lot or the E-Mart Mokdong branch lot - **What we ordered**: Traditional handmade garlic gopchang for one, mixed gopchang for one (extra gopchang added later) - **Events**: No-lose roulette event; 20% off takeout orders of 2 or more servings when you write a review *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Cover image of Omokgyo Gopchang Mokdong Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-01-1xv9p-966.webp) > Omokgyo food spot _ Omokgyo Gopchang 226-13 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1F Omokgyo Gopchang Mon 16:00 ~ 22:40 Tue 16:00 ~ 22:40 Wed 16:00 ~ 22:40 Thu 16:00 ~ 22:40 Fri 15:00 ~ 22:40 Sat 12:10 ~ 22:40 Sun 12:10 ~ 22:40 No parking on site Use Mokdong public parking lot or E-Mart Mokdong parking lot ![Start of the visit to Omokgyo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-02-g3vyk-966.webp) Hi, this is Nyuna 💛 There are foods I need a regular transfusion of, and gopchang (grilled beef intestine) is one of them! ![View of the Omokgyo Gopchang storefront, known from TV appearances](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-03-tz89k-966.webp) I visited Omokgyo Gopchang, the famous Omokgyo spot that's been on TV shows like Live Today and visited by lots of celebrities. I heard they have an especially special menu, so my heart was already pounding before I even got there. ## Where Omokgyo Gopchang Mokdong Main Branch is, and what the room feels like Omokgyo Gopchang Mokdong Main Branch is tucked into an alley near Omokgyo Station. It's inside the alley, but the place has such a strong presence you'll spot it quickly once you get there. ![Exterior of Omokgyo Gopchang inside the alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-04-oqkdf-966.webp) ![Entrance and signage of Omokgyo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-05-8mrfn-966.webp) It had that comfortable, lively feeling typical of gopchang restaurants. It felt like the perfect spot not just for meals with friends but for evening drinks or a group gathering too. ![Interior seating atmosphere at Omokgyo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-06-189va-966.webp) 💬 Omokgyo Gopchang says they source the finest domestic beef and Hanwoo (Korean native beef) slaughtered that same day, and it comes pre-grilled once. ![Sign about domestic beef and Hanwoo use](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-07-20y8u-966.webp) ![Notice posted inside Omokgyo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-08-8yidn-966.webp) ### The no-lose roulette and the 20% takeout discount Omokgyo Gopchang had a fun event going on. ✔️ A no-lose roulette event where you can win meal vouchers and lots of prizes ✔️ 20% off if you write a review and order 2+ servings of takeout — definitely worth joining! ![Sign for the no-lose roulette event](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-09-ayps3-966.webp) ![Sign for the review-writing takeout discount](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-10-4ygwe-966.webp) ![Omokgyo Gopchang menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-11-12xo2-966.webp) ## What we ordered: garlic gopchang for one plus mixed gopchang for one Omokgyo Gopchang's signature menu is the traditional handmade garlic gopchang, so we first ordered one serving of garlic gopchang and one serving of mixed gopchang. ![Table setting with garlic gopchang and mixed gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-12-1dmkq-966.webp) ![Basic side dish setup at Omokgyo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-13-1u91j-966.webp) ![Spicy sundubu-jjigae served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-14-daqy5-966.webp) ### The spicy sundubu-jjigae that comes free as a basic side dish One thing that stood out among Omokgyo Gopchang's basic side dishes was the spicy sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew). Once the side dishes are set out, this stew catches your eye right away! Most places serve sundaeguk (blood sausage soup), but having a spicy sundubu-jjigae meant that after working through each cut of gopchang, one spoonful of stew reset my palate completely. It's spicy enough that you could finish a whole bowl of rice with it alone 🥢 ### What's on the mixed gopchang platter, and the fire show Heart, makchang, daechang, beef honeycomb tripe, garlo, garlic gopchang, bean sprouts, chives, green onion kimchi — a gorgeous lineup arrives on one tray, and you even get to watch a fire show right in front of you. Heart needs to be eaten quickly before the blood color fades and it gets tough. It was thick but chewy and so delicious. It's hard to rank gopchang, makchang, and daechang against each other, but gopchang is still my favorite — it's packed with fat, so when you bite in it bursts and the savoriness is out of this world. ![Mixed gopchang grilling on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-15-1hjmh-966.webp) ![Heart and makchang grilling](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-16-bqmcz-966.webp) ![Close-up of fat-filled beef gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-17-8decu-966.webp) ![Plate of sauces for each cut](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-18-y0xos-966.webp) ## Shiitake wasabi sauce and the other dips for each cut Omokgyo Gopchang's platter comes with a variety of sauces. - Heart ▶️ chive salad and oil-soy dip - Beef gopchang/makchang/honeycomb tripe ▶️ green onion kimchi and spicy special sauce - Garlic gopchang ▶️ green onion kimchi and oil-soy dip - Daechang ▶️ grilled bean sprouts, chives, and spicy special sauce * shiitake wasabi sauce Eating it this way, apparently, is the proper way to enjoy it!! The shiitake wasabi sauce in particular was my favorite. ![Daechang dipped in shiitake wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-19-spvms-966.webp) ![Cross-section of traditional handmade garlic gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-20-1y7po-966.webp) ### What does the traditional handmade garlic gopchang taste like? The signature traditional handmade garlic gopchang has garlic tucked right inside each piece of intestine. They say they carefully stuff in Seosan six-clove garlic piece by piece, which is why it's only sold in limited quantity. As the gopchang grills, the garlic inside turns sweet and you get to bite into it along with the intestine — the combination was so delicious. It was a really distinctive pairing. ![A grilled piece of garlic gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-21-14gty-966.webp) ### Green onion kimchi, made fresh every Friday There's one more kicker at Omokgyo Gopchang: the green onion kimchi. Every Friday, they make it fresh, with a taste reminiscent of a mother's home cooking — there's a fragrant, slightly sweet quality to the green onion, and it was delicious whether eaten raw or grilled. ![Homemade green onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-22-trgtv-966.webp) ![Additional round of grilled gopchang platter](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-23-v83qh-1200.webp) We ate heartily and even ordered an extra round of gopchang, finishing everything off properly. Near the counter, I noticed they even have Fabreze, hair ties, and wet wipes ready for guests! ![Closing photo from the meal at Omokgyo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi/omokgyo-gopchang-sundubu-shiitake-wasabi-24-1ktqi-966.webp) ## How to order at Omokgyo Gopchang on a first visit I tried the mixed gopchang, which has everything together, and the traditional handmade garlic gopchang. For first-timers, I'd recommend starting with these two and then adding more according to your taste afterward.
