Today I've got a review of Hwang Gop Magoknaru Branch, a place that gets mentioned a lot among gopchang (beef intestine) lovers near Magoknaru! Gopchang restaurants can be really hit or miss because of the smell, right? That's always my worry too, but the intestines here were packed full and there was no off-putting smell at all — I ate happily, haha.

## How to get to Hwang Gop Magoknaru Branch, plus parking and booking

There's a big sign out front, so it's not hard to find! Parking is available in the building's basement, and since there can be a wait, I'd recommend booking ahead through Naver Reservation.

## Inside Hwang Gop: dining room and clear-tent outdoor tables

The space at Hwang Gop Magoknaru Branch is cozy but clean and comfortable — maybe because it's a fairly new spot, the tables were tidy and it didn't have that greasy feel gopchang places often have! Rather than a loud drinking-spot atmosphere, it's the kind of place where you can chat comfortably while eating. That makes it fine for work dinners, friend gatherings, family meals, or even a date. When the weather's nice they also run tables under a transparent tent outside, which seems perfect for a soju in this cool-weather season, tent-bar style!

## What is on the menu at Hwang Gop Magoknaru Branch?

Like most gopchang restaurants, there's an assorted platter as well as options to order specific cuts on their own! Besides gopchang, makchang, and daechang, they also sell gopchang hotpot, which looks like it'd make a good lunch, haha.

## Free banchan: yukhoe and a chilled acorn jelly bowl

This was the part that impressed me most — before the gopchang even arrives, the table fills up with banchan (side dishes), and it's a surprisingly generous spread for a gopchang restaurant, haha.

![Banchan set on the table before the gopchang arrives](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-09-ornvq-900.webp)

![Scallion kimchi, wild garlic leaves, and pickled onion banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-10-jflo7-900.webp)

Well-fermented scallion kimchi, wild garlic leaves, pickled onion, and even aged kimchi to grill alongside the gopchang all come out — and wrapping a piece of gopchang in wild garlic leaf especially was a really good combo!

![A plate of yukhoe served as a basic side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-11-15qju-900.webp)

And they even serve yukhoe (beef tartare) as a basic side dish!? Having a bite of yukhoe with a shot of soju while the gopchang grilled meant the wait didn't feel boring at all! Dipped in sesame oil it was savory and fresh.

![Acorn jelly bowl with floating bits of ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-12-1kpd4-900.webp)

And one more thing! A bowl of acorn jelly with bits of ice floating in it comes standard, and the tangy, cool broth is perfect for clearing your palate with a spoonful whenever the gopchang starts feeling too rich!

## The Hwang Gop assorted platter, cut by cut

What we ordered was the Hwang Gop assorted platter! Gopchang, makchang, daechang, beef heart, and pork belly-brisket all came piled on one pan along with mushrooms and chives, so you could taste several cuts at once.

![Gopchang, daechang, and beef heart grilling together on the pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-14-14bek-900.webp)

First, the gopchang — one bite and it was packed full of fat, so the savory flavor really spread! At places with weak gopchang you mostly just chew on the skin, but here you could even see how plump and full it was!

![Cross-section of gopchang packed full of fat](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-15-1b2m9-900.webp)

![Crispy grilled daechang and makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum/hwanggop-magoknaru-gopchang-modeum-16-t23sg-900.webp)

Daechang's charm is a crispy outside with a rich, melty inside, so I'd recommend grilling it a bit longer. Makchang is chewy, and beef heart needs to be cooked all the way through to bring out that crisp texture! They also give a generous amount of chives with the gopchang, and piling that on with wild garlic leaves means the soju just keeps going down!

## Finishing with the 4,000-won egg fried rice

You can't skip the fried rice at a gopchang restaurant! Hwang Gop Magoknaru Branch's egg fried rice is cooked right on the grill using the leftover oil and seasoning from the gopchang, so the flavor is next level! It's hard to believe it's only ₩4,000 given how generous it is, and the crispy, browned bottom part was especially savory — it was a real spoon war, haha. My husband, who came with me, said it was the best fried rice he's had at any gopchang restaurant!

## Is Hwang Gop Magoknaru Branch worth a visit?

Overall this was a gopchang restaurant with great value for the price! If you're looking for a gopchang spot near Magoknaru, it's worth a visit. Apparently the grilled daechang and the gopchang hotpot are also popular, so I'm planning to come back and try the hotpot next time, haha.
