I ordered 2 portions of hanwoo gopchang, 1 portion of daechang, kkakdugi yangbap, and an extra portion of makchang after waiting more than 20 minutes. Verdict: the wait is long, but the beef intestines are absolutely worth it haha. ## Good to know - **Location**: 243-1 Dasan-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 중구 다산로 243-1) - **Hours**: 12:00–23:00; until 24:00 on Friday and Saturday; open daily - **Parking**: Not available - **Pets**: Not allowed - **Order**: 2 portions hanwoo gopchang, 1 portion daechang, 1 extra portion makchang, kkakdugi yangbap *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ## Right by Sindang Station—how long was the wait? It is delicious every single time I go, so I feel like this is the only place where I eat beef intestines. The wait was even longer than on my previous visit this time. It is right outside Exit 7 of Sindang Station, literally a one-minute walk. Parking is unavailable, so I recommend taking the subway rather than driving~ ![Interior and exterior of Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang by Sindang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-01-h85ft-966.webp) There is always a wait whenever I come, but there were so many people ahead of us this time.. ㅠ Other than a few blank reservation slots, the sheet was almost full. There are lots of tables and turnover is quick, but we still waited more than 20 minutes, I think. ![Waiting area at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-02-n5loi-966.webp) And when we came out, the wait was even worse.. haha Maybe everyone knows it is delicious—there were even more people than the last time I came~ ![Longer queue outside the restaurant after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-03-fq2nj-966.webp) ![Queue outside Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-04-1r1hz-966.webp) Every table was full! It was a weekday too, and everyone was having drinks haha. ![Full tables at the beef intestine restaurant on a weekday](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-05-4owwe-966.webp) ![Restaurant interior packed with diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-06-t4ihx-966.webp) ## The basic spread and what we ordered The basic spread comes with garlic, minari (water celery), and a chili soy sauce. I think the garlic aroma and heat are a little strong, so I eat them separately! If you cannot handle much richness, or if you love that sharp garlic kick, I recommend mixing them together~ ![Garlic, minari, chili, and soy sauce in the basic spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-07-i815n-966.webp) ![Basic side dishes served with gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-08-gdjry-966.webp) Garlic chives! Maybe because I like bold flavors, but the chives here are just ordinary to me. ![Garlic chives served with gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-09-h6lof-966.webp) ![Garlic chive side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-10-hzznn-966.webp) I ordered 2 portions of hanwoo gopchang (Korean beef intestines) and 1 portion of daechang (beef large intestine) first, and kkakdugi yangbap (fried rice with cubed radish kimchi) is an absolute must here, okay?! Make sure you order that too!! ![Order of hanwoo gopchang, daechang, and kkakdugi yangbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-11-1k8hx-966.webp) They say these kimchi are made in-house: gat kimchi (mustard-leaf kimchi), chonggak kimchi (young radish kimchi), and green-onion kimchi. You can buy them too! ![Mustard-leaf, young radish, and green-onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-12-1nszs-966.webp) ![Selection of house-made kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-13-1im1w-966.webp) ## Hanwoo gopchang grilled for you, plus kkakdugi yangbap There was no mini grease guard when I came before, but I noticed they have one now. As always, the server sets a timer and grills the intestines perfectly—this place is the best~!! ![Mini grease guard and gopchang grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-14-1fjud-966.webp) ![Gopchang grilling on a timer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-15-4527x-966.webp) ![Hanwoo gopchang grilled by a staff member](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-16-m4iob-966.webp) The soft steamed egg also comes as a basic side, and the kkakdugi yangbap arrives quickly, so you can eat that first while waiting for the beef intestines to cook haha. Oh, and I told them to leave out the garlic that usually goes on top because I do not like it. They said to just pick it out, but I guess they accommodated me—there was none! It tastes much better without garlic! I have also been to the branch near Jamsil, but they do not have it there! ![Kkakdugi yangbap prepared without garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-17-gojso-966.webp) ![Complimentary steamed egg and kkakdugi yangbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-18-qumzf-966.webp) The beef intestines were browned beautifully on both sides and seriously so delicious.. Daechang is usually always my number one pick, but whenever I come here, beef intestines take that spot instead haha. For every bite, you absolutely need a huge pile of chili, minari, and chives—it is even more delicious! They will give you more minari and chili if you ask. ![Beautifully browned beef intestines with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-19-1f2yn-966.webp) The rice cakes here are soft and chewy too, and they are even better dipped in the soy sauce. ![Soy sauce and soft, chewy rice cakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-20-1qlfa-966.webp) ![Rice cakes eaten with gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-21-dw6kf-966.webp) ## If you add makchang, will they change the grill too? The person I went with wanted makchang (beef abomasum) too, so we added 1 portion. They actually replaced the entire grill with a new one and made it feel like we were starting from scratch? I loved being able to eat it fresh and clean all over again. Maybe it had been so long since my last visit that I completely forgot haha. ![Extra order of makchang on a new grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-22-10v0c-966.webp) ![Makchang after the grill was changed](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-23-7xval-966.webp) ![Plump and tender makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung-24-f0l7e-966.webp) Honestly, I do not normally like makchang, but I eat this one from time to time because I do not usually get to enjoy it. If you like plump, tender makchang, try it alongside the beef intestines~ If you are looking for a great beef-intestine place in Sindang, or a beef-intestine spot for a work dinner, I recommend Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Sindang Direct Branch—it is close to the station too! ## Where it is - Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Sindang Direct Branch (진성한우곱창 신당직영점) - 243-1 Dasan-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 중구 다산로 243-1) - 서울특별시 중구 다산로 243-1 - 37.5648592, 127.015939 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A7%84%EC%84%B1%ED%95%9C%EC%9A%B0%EA%B3%B1%EC%B0%BD%20%EC%8B%A0%EB%8B%B9%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5648592,127.015939,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@short-break-coffee/sindang-gopchang-waiting-makchang-jinsung/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
