We had two servings of gopchang and one of makchang with Mi-jeol-ma sauce, three house-made kimchis, and kkakdugi yangbap. The tender gopchang and chewy makchang made a very satisfying rotation. ## Good to know - **Location**: Right in front of Exit 7, Sindang Station, Line 6 - **Hours**: Daily 12:00–23:00; Friday and Saturday until 24:00 - **Waiting**: Nearly full at 18:00 on Monday; a short wait began around 18:30 - **Group reservations**: Available by phone - **Hanwoo gopchang**: ₩19,000 - **Hanwoo daechang**: ₩19,000 - **Hanwoo makchang**: ₩20,000 - **Kkakdugi yangbap**: ₩9,000 - **Anchovy noodles**: ₩6,000 - **Drinks**: ₩2,000 for 500 ml *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Signature dish at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang in Sindang-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-01-140j3-887.webp) ## Hanwoo gopchang by Sindang Station, nearly full even on Monday night > A great spot for beef intestines in Sindang-dong: I started craving gopchang as early as Monday, so I went ahead and got my fix. Let me introduce Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang, which stayed packed even though it was Monday. It is right in front of Exit 7 of Sindang Station on Line 6, open daily from noon to 11 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays, it stays open until midnight. It was nearly full at 6 p.m. on Monday, with a slight wait starting around 6:30. They say gatherings and groups can reserve by phone. ![Exterior of Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang in front of Sindang Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-02-n8jbm-900.webp) ![Visitor information for Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-03-13i8b-900.webp) ![Inside Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang in Sindang-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-04-3e405-900.webp) ![Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Sindang Direct Branch interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-05-msy8q-866.webp) ## Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang menu and what we ordered ![Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-06-j9qn9-900.webp) - Hanwoo gopchang ₩19,000 - Hanwoo daechang ₩19,000 - Hanwoo makchang ₩20,000 - Kkakdugi yangbap ₩9,000 - Anchovy noodles ₩6,000 - Drinks (500 ml) ₩2,000 It is a simple menu. Without much deliberation that day, the two of us ordered two gopchang, one makchang, then yangbap and Zero Coke for dessert. ## A platter of gopchang with Mi-jeol-ma sauce to cut the richness ![Gopchang table setting with an oil splash guard](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-07-x65e7-900.webp) First, they put up this gray splash guard so the oil would not splatter as much. ![Gopchang table setting with Mi-jeol-ma sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-08-16lml-900.webp) ![Mi-jeol-ma pickled minari garlic sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-09-qsrli-900.webp) Then out came the Mi-jeol-ma sauce. It is a garlic sauce with pickled minari (water celery), and this sauce is such a key player. Gopchang is naturally rich, so it can start to feel heavy as you eat, but the Mi-jeol-ma sauce adds acidity and completely clears that richness away. Can you see the fragrant minari, the sweet-and-sour pickled flavor, and all that garlic? There is a little bite to it, too. It even has the Cheongyang chili peppers I love, and I also loved that they gave us such a generous amount of sauce from the start. ![Mi-jeol-ma sauce with Cheongyang chili peppers and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-10-1u7od-900.webp) The hot steamed egg was complimentary, too. ![Table setting with complimentary steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-11-nxros-900.webp) ![Hot steamed egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-12-nu3lo-900.webp) The chive salad, inseparable from gopchang, arrived along with a little paper declaring the head chef's pride. ![Chive salad and the chef pride notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-13-t1zss-900.webp) These are three kinds of house-made kimchi: green onion kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, and ponytail radish kimchi. ![Three kinds of kimchi: green onion, mustard leaf, and ponytail radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-14-1h9f7-900.webp) ### Tender gopchang, chewy makchang Two servings of gopchang and one serving of makchang arrived. When the timer goes off, they come over and cut it for you, so you just wait patiently. ![Grilled hanwoo gopchang and hanwoo makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-15-1a0my-900.webp) Potatoes, cabbage, bean sprouts, and kimchi grill alongside it. Add the green onion kimchi and chives to the grill, too, and you get incredible companions for the gopchang. ![Grilled gopchang with potatoes, cabbage, and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-16-1ya00-900.webp) I had one rice cake first. ![Grilled rice cake on the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-17-1qalz-900.webp) I tidied everything up neatly so it could brown a little more. ![Gopchang and makchang browning on the griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-18-8m2hr-900.webp) The most important thing about gopchang is, of course, the gop—the rich filling. This one was quite generous. The outside was grilled just right while the inside was nutty and tender, so I kept picking up two pieces at a time. ![Hanwoo gopchang generously filled with gop](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-19-1i5u6-900.webp) I also dipped the nicely cooked vegetables deeply into the Mi-jeol-ma sauce and ate them alongside. Looks like I missed the solo shot of the makchang. They cut it into big pieces like this at first, and it was a nice change of pace between bites of gopchang. At some point, I started liking makchang more than daechang, you know? Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang's makchang was chewy with a lovely bite, but not tough. Tender gopchang, chewy makchang—it is a system that keeps you alternating between them. ![A full table with gopchang and makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-20-vv6dj-900.webp) ![Tender gopchang and chewy makchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-21-1hwej-900.webp) ![Grilled gopchang meal in progress](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-22-gzx5q-900.webp) ![Gopchang table setting before dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-23-1k4i3-900.webp) ## The kkakdugi yangbap dessert was a must, even when full And here is the kkakdugi yangbap we ordered for dessert. This was something we had to eat even though we were full. It tasted like a rustic kimchi fried rice made by your grandmother—somehow familiar and deeply savory. There was plenty of garlic here, too; we are the people of garlic. I loved biting into the beef tripe and cubed radish kimchi, and the portion was generous, so I was seriously full. ## Overall thoughts on Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang ![Finishing a meal at Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang](https://img.superchart.com/images/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang-24-1dd4v-900.webp) I finally visited Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang, which has Sindang-dong firmly in its grasp, and now I understand why it is always busy. The staff were kind, and the pairing of Mi-jeol-ma sauce and meat felt like an especially standout strength. Overall, I was very satisfied. Next time I will probably order the same combination... no. Next time, I need to try the anchovy noodles, 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 - 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/@tiled-table-3/sindang-jinsung-hanwoo-gopchang-makchang/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
