# Garak-dong gopchang restaurant with green onion kimchi to go: Jinseong - By Suan (https://superchart.com/en/@rice-beside-soup/) - Written Sep 17, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Songpa, Seoul - Sponsored: This story was written based on a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@rice-beside-soup/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@rice-beside-soup/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/index.md) ## In short Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship is a hanwoo gopchang, daechang and makchang restaurant (grilled beef intestines) on Songpa-daero 28-gil near Garak Market Station in Songpa, Seoul. On a weekend evening visit with family, a 30-minute wait led to two servings of hanwoo gopchang, 220g for 19,000 won, and kkakdugi yangbap (rice with radish kimchi) for 9,000 won, plus 20,000 won of green onion kimchi packed to take home. The odor-free gopchang with minari-garlic soy sauce and that green onion kimchi is the combination that makes Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang worth the wait. ## Good to know - **Location**: 27 Songpa-daero 28-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul — 1st floor, Seongwon Sangte-vil - **Hanwoo gopchang**: 220g, 19,000 won - **Kkakdugi yangbap**: 9,000 won - **Green onion kimchi to go**: 20,000 won - **What we ordered**: Hanwoo gopchang for two + kkakdugi yangbap - **Wait**: About 30 minutes, arriving after 7 PM on a weekend - **Main menu**: Hanwoo gopchang, daechang, makchang / to finish: kkakdugi yangbap, anchovy noodles - **Parking**: Underground lot in the building; the walk up to the restaurant feels long *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Hanwoo gopchang table setting at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-01-1hzpo-1200.webp) Everyone has their own standard for a good restaurant, but I have a few: tasty, reasonably priced, friendly, and with one thing you can only get there. Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship, which I visited recently, checked every box. ![Exterior of Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship in Garak-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-02-gg5ls-900.webp) Honestly, the way I found this place was a bit random. I was eating at Milgak right across the street when I noticed an unusual crowd on the other side. What is that place, and why are there so many people? I'd been curious ever since, so this past weekend I finally went with my family for dinner. Cutting to the chase: there's a reason so many people go there. I understood exactly why the moment I walked out, full. ![Entrance of Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang crowded with weekend evening guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-03-vlbsd-900.webp) ## How long is the weekend wait at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang? About 30 minutes near Garak Market Station ![Sign for Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship on Songpa-daero 28-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-04-58ok3-900.webp) Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship is located at 27 Songpa-daero 28-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, in Garak-dong. We went on a weekend evening and waited about 30 minutes. Luckily, since we arrived after 7pm, tables turned over faster than I expected, so it didn't feel like a long wait at all. This place is popular enough that if you're going during peak hours, it's worth planning for a wait. ![Walking route from the underground parking lot to the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-05-yhq4h-900.webp) ![Route inside the Seongwon Sangte-vil building to find the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-06-1fsjs-900.webp) ### Driving to Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang: what to know about the underground lot If you're coming by car, here's one thing to keep in mind: the building is so large that the walk from the underground parking lot to the restaurant can feel longer than you'd think. It can be a bit confusing the first time, so I've included photos of the route — follow along if you're planning to visit. ## Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang menu and prices: hanwoo gopchang 220g for 19,000 won ![Menu board at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-07-86ro1-900.webp) ![Green onion kimchi packed to go, 20,000 won, at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship in Garak-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-08-esz4s-900.webp) The menu at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship is genuinely simple. This is a gopchang (beef intestine) restaurant, and rather than mixing in a bunch of other dishes, they focus on hanwoo (Korean beef) gopchang, daechang, and makchang, sold separately. The only dessert options are kkakdugi (radish kimchi) yangbap (fried rice with tripe) and anchovy noodles. A short menu can actually be exciting — it signals confidence that they're really good at what they do. This menu had that feel. We ordered hanwoo gopchang 220g at 19,000 won × 2 servings, plus kkakdugi yangbap for 9,000 won. Given today's prices, 19,000 won for 220g of hanwoo gopchang felt quite reasonable from the start. ## The side dishes that won us over before the gopchang even hit the grill What's fun about Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang is that it's enjoyable even before the gopchang itself shows up — the accompanying side dishes are really good. ![Side dish spread of green onion kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, and altari kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-09-5vjba-900.webp) They serve green onion kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, and altari (young radish) kimchi in particular, which are great to eat alongside the rich, fatty gopchang. And what I really loved here was the soy sauce made with garlic and minari (water dropwort). ![Soy sauce made with garlic and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-10-1utgz-900.webp) Dip the gopchang deep into the sauce, pick up some minari and garlic with it, and eat it all together — it cuts the richness while bringing out even more flavor. ![Gopchang dipped in soy sauce with minari on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-11-1iozx-900.webp) It's not just that they're good at cooking gopchang — this place clearly knows exactly how gopchang should be eaten to taste its best. ## How does the hanwoo gopchang taste? Clean, with no off smell Finally, the hanwoo gopchang arrived. My first impression was that the portion was pretty generous. And most importantly — there was almost no unpleasant smell. ![220g of hanwoo gopchang grilling on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-12-183e6-900.webp) The signature savory taste of gopchang was fully there, but without any off-putting odor, so it was clean and I kept reaching for more. ![A piece of hanwoo gopchang cooked to a golden brown](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-13-1kpsz-900.webp) It's delicious plain, delicious with the green onion kimchi, and delicious dipped deep into that minari-garlic soy sauce I mentioned. It's one dish, but the flavor changes every time you switch up the pairing, so there's never a dull moment. ![A bite of gopchang paired with green onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-14-1jqx9-900.webp) Eating it, I genuinely thought: I guess all of the country's best restaurants really do end up in Seoul. Now I understood why there was always such a crowd whenever I looked across the street. ## Green onion kimchi is the real kick here, and 20,000 won of it came home with us There's something else that stuck with me as much as the gopchang itself: the green onion kimchi. It cuts right through the richness of the gopchang, and that combination was fantastic. A bite of gopchang, a bite of green onion kimchi, back to the sauce — I just kept eating. ![A plate of green onion kimchi at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-15-1q94c-900.webp) I liked it so much that I ended up buying green onion kimchi to take home. It cost 20,000 won. At first I wondered how much kimchi 20,000 won could really get you, but the portion turned out to be quite generous. It's rare to like a side dish at a restaurant so much that you pack some to take home, but here I just couldn't walk past it. If it's your first time at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang, make sure to try the green onion kimchi alongside the gopchang. ## Finishing the meal with kkakdugi yangbap, 9,000 won ![Kkakdugi yangbap ordered for dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-16-vulbv-900.webp) Once you've had your fill of gopchang, finish up with kkakdugi yangbap for 9,000 won. It's not just fried rice — true to its name, it's made with yang (beef tripe), so there's a nice chewy texture. ![Close-up of kkakdugi yangbap with tripe](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-17-1iwlt-900.webp) Fried rice after gopchang is a familiar combo, but adding tripe gives it a clear signature feel. Even though I was pretty full, I kept eating until it was gone. ![Kkakdugi yangbap nearly finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-18-1x538-900.webp) Rather than just eating gopchang and leaving, having the kkakdugi yangbap really feels like the proper way to end the meal — I'd recommend it too. ## Why Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang matches my standard for a good restaurant ![Full table spread at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-19-v4u04-900.webp) For me, a good restaurant isn't just about tasty food. The price has to make sense, the service has to be good, and there has to be something that makes you want to come back. ![Hanwoo gopchang and side dishes on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-20-kc875-900.webp) By that standard, Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship was genuinely well-rounded. - Clean hanwoo gopchang with no off-putting smell - Reasonable price at 220g for 19,000 won - Friendly service - Various kimchi and sauces that pair really well with gopchang - The finishing kkakdugi yangbap ![Minari-garlic soy sauce with hanwoo gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-21-1iry2-m-900.webp) The green onion kimchi and the minari-garlic soy sauce in particular were the clear signature that set this place apart from other gopchang restaurants. I first found this place wondering why it was always so crowded — now I'm the one standing in that line. ## Looking for gopchang in Garak-dong? The place I'd go back to ![Interior of Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Garak Flagship](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-22-7q17q-900.webp) I waited about 30 minutes on a weekend, but I'd happily go back. The hanwoo gopchang was great, but next time I want to order the daechang and makchang separately too. ![Daechang and makchang menu items to try next time](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-23-3d1gy-900.webp) Above all, I liked that they don't stretch the menu thin with extras and instead focus on what they do well. ![Closing photo from a gopchang visit to Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang in Garak-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi/jinseong-gopchang-garak-daepa-kimchi-24-1qcuw-m-900.webp) If you're looking for a good gopchang restaurant in Garak-dong, it's worth a visit. Like me, you might wonder at first why there's such a crowd — and then understand exactly why once you've eaten there.
