Grease-splatter-free offal BBQ set at Isu Station: Baekho Yangdaechang

Today I found my life-changing daechang (beef large intestine) restaurant near Isu Station and Chongshin Univ. Entrance Station!! I absolutely love rich, fatty daechang, but I once got burned by splattering grease while grilling (a real burn, T_T), so I'm picky about BBQ places. Baekho Yangdaechang (백호양대창) is the kind of place where you can forget all that worry, haha. From the clean interior to the kind service and the melt-in-your-mouth flavor, I'll cover it all. :)

What can you eat at Baekho Yangdaechang?

Baekho Yangdaechang near Isu Station is a grill house serving gopchang (small intestine), daechang and even lamb. On the menu you can choose from beef short plate to heart, makchang (abomasum), gopchang, lamb and daechang, all at about ₩10,000s.

We booked ahead, and the side dishes were neatly set out, so I was already happy (round one!)

Aren't the prices great too..?!? For about ₩10,000s you can enjoy everything from beef short plate to heart, makchang, gopchang, lamb and daechang. Totally a great-value offal spot. (Happy round two!)

What's the difference between daechang BBQ and yangdaechang BBQ?

They told us the yangdaechang BBQ at Baekho Yangdaechang is a set that lets you enjoy both special tripe (yang) BBQ and daechang!! I'd been wondering what the difference was, haha.

So after some debate we ordered the yangdaechang set, haha. The place is run by someone with 7 years of experience as a food buyer, so the ingredients are a cut above. You can see how plump and fresh it is!! (Happy round three!) Not only is the fresh meat sourced directly, it goes through 48 hours of low-temperature aging, so it arrives tender and rich.

Is there any gamey smell or greasiness in the daechang and lamb?

Dipped in the owner's own homemade soy sauce, the daechang's richness is maxed out with no greasiness at all. There's no gamey smell whatsoever, so even sensitive eaters can totally handle it.

The lamb didn't have that strong signature smell either, so even I, who usually can't eat lamb, enjoyed it a lot!! No worries at all!

Do the staff grill the meat for you at Baekho Yangdaechang?

Yes, Baekho Yangdaechang grills the meat for you over real charcoal. After the first pre-grill, experienced staff trim and grill the meat carefully from start to finish.

You know how at BBQ places you can barely talk because you're busy grilling, and you're always nervous about grease splattering? Baekho Yangdaechang is different! Thanks to that, I could focus on chatting with my boyfriend and eat comfortably.

Thanks to the owner's kindness and careful hands while grilling, no worries about burning my hands!!! I got to enjoy the meat at its tastiest. No splattering grease, which made me so happy T_T They grill it carefully and are so thoughtful T_T

What about the soft tofu stew and kimchi fried rice?

And? It's not only the meat that's good at Baekho Yangdaechang! The soft tofu stew and kimchi fried rice we ordered midway were real standouts!

The kimchi fried rice in particular had a cute character drawn on it, so I burst out laughing the moment it arrived, and the taste was perfect too!!

The soft tofu stew is packed with seafood, so the broth is really refreshing and deep. It's such a perfect drinking snack that my boyfriend had to order soju! :) Corkage is said to be free too, so if you like a drink, this is your place!!

Is it close to Isu Station and good for group meetups?

Baekho Yangdaechang is right near Isu Station and Chongshin Univ. Entrance Station, haha (about 3 minutes away??!). Access is easy, and the space is roomy and clean, so it's great for company dinners and get-togethers. They also say they do disinfection twice a month for cleanliness, so you can visit with extra peace of mind, haha.

If you want a happy time with good meat and drinks in a clean setting, I strongly recommend Baekho Yangdaechang, a Sadang/Isu Station BBQ spot! Next time I'm definitely going back to try the gopchang jeongol (offal hotpot). :)
