Generous octopus, beef tripe, and shrimp, plus a large screen for gatherings, made the meal satisfying. Verdict: A hearty choice for a spicy meal near Balsan Station. ## Good to know - **Address**: 330 Gangseo-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, Dong-A Building 1F, Units 5 and 6 - **Hours**: Mon–Fri 11:00–22:00 / Sat–Sun 11:00–23:00 - **Parking**: Free parking available *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Nakgopsae spread at Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-01-19bdr-900.webp) ## A nakgopsae spread I thought might be all sauce Honestly, I thought all nakgopsae would taste pretty much the same because of the sauce, but I visited Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch and was surprised that each ingredient had its own presence. You know those days when you crave a spicy meal? It had been a while since I last wanted nakgopsae, so I went to Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch, which I often passed by. I do love nakgopsae, but I have been a little disappointed by places where the ingredients were skimpy or the sauce was the only strong flavor. This place, though, had a more generous mix of ingredients than I expected and a good range of protein, so I was very satisfied. ![Exterior of Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-02-epzub-900.webp) ## A restaurant that looked comfortable for gatherings too The restaurant was neat, and the space between tables felt fairly comfortable, making it nice to visit with friends. It also looked like a good choice for a family meal or a gathering. With its huge screen, it is also a great restaurant for groups on sports-game days. ![Restaurant interior with a large screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-03-5dhgf-m-900.webp) ![Seating at Gungmin Nakgopsae Gangseo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-04-eoics-900.webp) ![Large screen for sports-game gatherings](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-05-1tq4b-900.webp) Apparently the members of Osaka Ojo Gang visited too, haha.

Of course, since it is seasoned food, it was perfect as a delicious choice for a date or meal out. ![Nakgopsae with octopus, beef tripe, and shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-09-ztv62-900.webp) ![Octopus and shrimp in the nakgopsae](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-10-1qph2-900.webp) ![Nakgopsae made with fresh ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-11-syyvk-900.webp) ![Octopus, beef tripe, and shrimp ingredients for nakgopsae](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-12-wnanw-900.webp) You can really see how fresh the ingredients are, right? I would recommend this Balsan Station restaurant not only to regular nakgopsae fans, but also to anyone who wants to enjoy octopus, beef tripe, and shrimp all at once! ![Nakgopsae cooking in a pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-13-7yba7-899.webp) ![Nakgopsae beginning to bubble](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-14-ol935-899.webp) ![Nakgopsae with mixed octopus, shrimp, and beef tripe](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-15-p8yca-900.webp) ## Bubbling octopus, shrimp, and beef tripe Once it starts bubbling, mix the octopus, shrimp, and beef tripe evenly and dig in. Food like this is just fun when you eat it straight from a pot at a boil. The plump ingredients came together with the spicy, savory sauce in a flavor that naturally made me want rice. Personally, nakgopsae is great simply with rice, but I also recommend wrapping it with perilla leaves and the various sides. A big bite brings together spicy and nutty flavors, and I kept reaching for more. ![Nakgopsae eaten with perilla leaves](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-16-fj1c7-900.webp) ![A generously wrapped bite of nakgopsae](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-17-1vnax-900.webp) ## Finish with fried rice in the leftover sauce ![Fried rice made with leftover sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-18-1si9o-900.webp) We even made sure to have fried rice, haha. The ending is another pleasure, after all. Once you have enjoyed the main dish to some extent, having a finishing dish that uses the leftover sauce makes the meal feel properly complete. It was filling from start to finish, so it would be great to visit on a hungry day. ![Fried rice to finish a nakgopsae meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-19-1a1jo-900.webp) ![A generous nakgopsae meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen/balsan-station-nakgopsae-screen-20-11hhv-900.webp) I would recommend this Balsan Station restaurant not only to regular nakgopsae fans, but also to anyone who wants to enjoy octopus, beef tripe, and shrimp all at once! It was a place that made me want to try another menu combination next time.
