Today I'm bringing you an honest review of a place I visited recently in Yeonsu-dong, Incheon that left me so satisfied I just had to share it with you all: Yeonsu Gopchang Yeonsu Main Branch!

## What comes in Yeonsu Gopchang's 39,900 won assorted set?

Once we sat down, we ordered the restaurant's signature menu, the 'Signature Assorted Set' (₩39,900). The portion for the price was so ridiculously generous that my jaw dropped the moment it arrived! Not only can you enjoy gopchang and makchang together, but the set also comes as a full course with a rich, spicy mini gopchang hot pot and, for the final K-dessert, 100% sesame oil fried rice.

Here's what we ordered

## Free fish cake soup, liver and sundae at Yeonsu Gopchang

Even before the main dishes arrived, they generously served us a warm kettle of fish cake soup, along with liver and sundae (blood sausage), all as complimentary service.

Just because it's free doesn't mean the quality drops at all — the liver had zero gaminess and the sundae was wonderfully chewy, so we were already impressed before the main dishes even showed up.

Any side dishes running low could be freely refilled at the self-serve bar without any hesitation, which really showed the owner's generous hospitality.

## No gamey smell: 24-hour aging at 2°C

Reading the aging management chart and information posted on one wall of the restaurant, I instantly understood why the food tasted so good. Based on over 10 years of hands-on gopchang preparation know-how, Yeonsu Gopchang ages its meat in a dedicated aging chamber at a precise low temperature of 1–3°C (optimal 2°C) for exactly 24 hours.

## Can non-drinkers join? Non-alcoholic highball and alcohol-free Terra

My husband can't drink alcohol at all, so he's always a bit disappointed when we eat out, forever hunting for non-alcoholic drinks. But Yeonsu Gopchang actually had a 'non-alcoholic highball' ready! It kept the distinctive Suntory flavor and refreshing taste so well that I asked more than once, 'wait, this really has no alcohol in it?' — it was that well made and delicious.

## The earthenware gopchang hot pot and its rich broth

It's called 'gopchang hot pot,' and it's loaded with so much gopchang that I was genuinely moved. The broth was so deep and rich,

![Gopchang hot pot generously filled with gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonsu-gopchang-nonalcohol-highball-visit/yeonsu-gopchang-nonalcohol-highball-visit-15-pghhw-900.webp)

it was exactly my style — spicy and addictive enough that I wanted to immediately order extra rice and mix it right in.

> With gopchang, management is everything

True to the slogan "with gopchang, management is everything," the careful aging process completely eliminates the chewy texture and gaminess typical of gopchang, drawing out only its maximum nutty, savory flavor.

I was also surprised by Yeonsu Gopchang's remarkable business philosophy. On the last Sunday of every month, they completely give up a full day's sales to do a deep clean of the entire restaurant. To break the stereotype that 'gopchang restaurants are greasy and slippery,' they keep even the unseen spots spotless — and indeed, when we walked in, the floors and tables were pristine and free of any grease, so we could eat with full confidence.

![Alcohol-free Terra beer with the table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonsu-gopchang-nonalcohol-highball-visit/yeonsu-gopchang-nonalcohol-highball-visit-18-6i47k-900.webp)

On top of that, alcohol-free Terra beer is available too, so people who can't drink or drivers can still raise a glass and enjoy the mood. It really showed the owner's thoughtful care for every single guest.

## How the salt-grilled makchang and seasoned gopchang taste

Being salt-grilled, it has an outstanding clean, mild flavor. Crispy outside and chewy inside with an explosion of nuttiness, and dipping it in the house special sauce makes it even better.

There's absolutely no unpleasant gopchang smell, and it's packed with plump glass noodles and chewy rice cakes, so it's fun to pick and choose what to eat. The seasoning soaks all the way through, so you just can't stop reaching for more.

## The perfect finish: 100% sesame oil four-color fried rice

After filling up on gopchang, makchang, and hot pot, you can't skip the fried rice! The fried rice included in the assorted set isn't just any ordinary fried rice — it's a 'four-color fried rice.'

![Ingredients for Yeonsu Gopchang's four-color sesame oil fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonsu-gopchang-nonalcohol-highball-visit/yeonsu-gopchang-nonalcohol-highball-visit-23-jm9x7-900.webp)

Sour kimchi carefully stir-fried by the owner herself, real 100% sesame oil instead of the fake stuff sold elsewhere, plus fresh chives and soft egg all come together perfectly.

Fried golden on the griddle, the nutty sesame oil aroma hits you right away, and with the spicy tang of the kimchi, the softness of the egg, and the texture of the chives, I couldn't put my spoon down even though I was already full. This fried rice isn't optional, it's mandatory — make sure to scrape the plate clean.

## Is Yeonsu Gopchang Yeonsu Main Branch worth a visit?

The excellent quality of gopchang aged at 2°C with 10 years of know-how, the generous spread from the main dishes to the fish cake soup, liver, and sundae service, the nutty four-color fried rice, and the thoughtful non-alcoholic drink options plus spotless store management — nothing was lacking, and it was a truly satisfying meal.
