Gopchang Story KBBQ

Here we are! Another review of the many k bbq spots in the DMV that I am determined to eat at. Not sure of how many I’ve gone to, but I’m here now. The place has a decent atmosphere with a similar starters and sides. I’d say like many nationality foods, kimchi and some other small bites are the initial warm up to the event. The kimchi was a sweet to me. I’m not a fan of that style but continued onward. I had option a with fatty brisket, thin sliced pork belly and pork shoulder. The sides I asked for were the soy bean stew, rice, old school lunch box and the house salad. I never had an old school lunch box but it was tasty. It had thin sliced sausage similar to the jolliebee spaghetti sausage, rice, Fried egg and kimchi. Nice! The steamed egg was tasty in the tiny pot, the stew delicious and had enough spice, the salad with house dressing had a good balance of acidity and sweet, and they gave me corn cheese. That was great with some pork belly. Not sure that is something one does but it’s what I did. The overall experience was decent. My server was pretty cool and helps when you can connect on a level of hobbies or interests like sneakers. Big up to that guy knowing his stuff. I’d go here again. Not too shabby. 7/10 overall

The gopchang (intestines) here were okay, but noticeably different from the New York location. In NY, they’re crispier, cleaner tasting, and just have a better texture overall. The Annandale version felt a bit chewier and less flavorful, like they weren’t grilled quite right.

Last Saturday night. it was the worst service ever! I think all the servers didn't know the meaning of buffet and service. Why? Because they don't care how hard it is to call them to get food. We paid $50 per person, but when we tried to order food, it was hard to call them 😡. I've never been so angry before. They made us wait too long, and it wasn't busy at all! This place sucks when it comes to their service, and they didn't even change our roast, which was burnt! Do you want us to get cancer? How can you open a restaurant if you don't care about customers' health? Another thing, they didn't have a heater, it was so cold in there. The last thing I want to say is that buffets are unlimited food, if you say all you can eat, that means customers can eat whatever they want. If you want to limit your food, please stop selling buffets. Also, their meat changed flavor.

It pains me to leave this review because the service was impeccable and the food was great. After we finished our meal we noticed multiple cockroaches, including one that had made its way onto the table.

We had dinner at the Korean BBQ tonight and Kevin was our server , he was absolutely amazing! Super attentive, friendly, and made sure our table had everything we needed the whole time. He checked in often without being overbearing and even gave great recommendations on what to try next. His positive attitude really made the experience even better. Thanks, Kevin, for the great service and making our night so enjoyable!

2022 review - Returned on a Friday night and the quality is still great. The service though was lacking. The server didn't really do a good job with the fried rice portion and never came around to properly check in with water or side dishes. 2021 review - Returned on a weekend to try again with some friends. The menu is the same as the one in New Jersey and the intestines are also much better quality. I am extremely particular with my intestines as I require absolutely no grittiness inside. Previously there was a small amount which means they weren't properly handled. Now they are perfect and quality is represented like the other franchises. Definitely will be returning. 2020 review- Been to the one in New Jersey. This location isn't as grand because the menu is much more consolidated. Intestines were nice but wish they had the pork combo set. Worth the hour drive!

I've been looking forward to coming here and am super happy that I did. It's going to become my favorite place to have grilled intestines. It's clean throughly, so it doesn't have a weird smell/taste when eating. They prepared it mostly in the back and finished the cooking when they brought it out to your table. It was great! I tried the soup, too, but wasn't a big fan. It's just too salty for me.

A friend of ours recommended this place, and we tried it a while back and loved the quality of the meat, especially the large intestine gui, which we tried for the first time at this restaurant. We started with the beef set, and our favorites were beef brisket and the marinated beef rib, which were so tasty and of excellent quality. We also had a large intestine gui, and it was so juicy and flavorful, although, in reality, it was all fattening. Our server was so good and attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for grilling; there were individual grills per table, and the place was clean and tidy.

Hungry for authentic Korean intestine place? Check this place out! :) Servers are friendly, and food was great! This place reminds me of ones in Korea. I will be coming back!

Overall, I would recommend this place. 3.5 stars. I like that they give you all the banchan sides. The marinades and dipping sauces are not the best (lacking flavor) but are ok. For a group of 6 people, we all had to share one grill burner, which made for a very slow experience. Honestly, I still felt hungry afterward because it took too long for them to cook our food with just one grill. The table had 2 grills, so we are not sure why they didn't use 2 grills other than maybe it was intentional so they didn't have to bring out that much food. It's never good when a customer is still hungry after an "all-you-can-eat" place. The server could have checked on us more frequently but she did bring us everything when asked. It wasn't busy that night at all. The place looked clean. The bathroom was clean. The ambiance is casual and quiet. There is a free, private parking lot.

I have a love-hate relationship with this place. Ever since the pandemic, all the late-night KBBQ places in Annandale stopped being 24/7 or open past 11pm-12am. All hungry late night guests had to rely on Tosokchon after the club and my oh my has Tosokchon gone off the deep-end... they literally do not care if their food is old, not well-made or overpriced. Then one day Gopchang Story decides to stay open until 2am - Hallelujah! This place was my go-to since then since all their options tastes high quality. As for why my rating went down... I came again when they offered AYCE. This seemed like a dream come true because I love this place. But.. BUT.. the all you can eat was ruined because they are stingy with the portions. I had a table of 4 but the serving size was only enough for one person. How can you give 4 hungry people 6 pieces of meat at a time? To make matters worse, it took forever for us to flag the server down to get more meat. It became obvious this was some sort of tactic to save money and make guests suffer small portions to get full over time waiting on every little serving we can get. I'm never coming here for all you can eat ever again. Again, I'm leaving my rating at a 4 star out of my respect for when I came here at 1am and my hunger was satisfied. I hope they take my review into consideration to improve the AYCE serving sizes and service.

Whenever I crave some good gopchang I come here or gogiville. Their white powder seasoning is crack and makes the gopchang and dduk taste even better. They were also very accommodating and allowed us to keep our ice cream cake for our friend's birthday to be stored in the back freezer. All in all, this place is a solid place to eat gopchang.

I love going to this place whenever I am craving grilled intestines. They also have really good sides, steam egg, and kimchi stew. Wait time can get pretty long when it is peak lunch or dinner time.

We ordered the large assorted beef intestines, which comes with both small and large cuts, two sauces, and some tasty side dishes to enjoy together. While it was definitely on the pricier side, it was delicious and well complimented by everyone who tried it. The small intestine had a flavor that reminded me of liver, while the large was a rich, fatty, chewy wonder -- so satisfying! Overall, a great experience and something I'd definitely recommend trying at least once.

Must go if you love gopchang!! Almost everything I've ordered here is yummy. The small assorted gopchang can feeds up to 3 people if you order other side dishes. The rice cake that comes with is so delicious, it has the soft yet chewy texture. I also recommend the vegetable fried rice, tastes really well with the assorted gopchang. The seafood pancake is also delicious. The server helps you cook your foods perfectly. Overall, good place to go for friends gathering because the portions are huge.

I haven't stopped by in a while, but I'm so glad I did tonight. I decided to try something different from my usual order and it was absolutely delicious! On top of that, our waitress, Fall, was such a sweetheart so kind and attentive. She even shaped our fried rice into a heart, which was such a cute and thoughtful touch. Little details like that really make the experience special.

It was quick and fast. Not busy at all. There was plenty of places to be seated. It's great for dates, friends, and families. It's interesting that they cook the intestines on a hot plate. I got the assorted intestines and I believe one of the beefs. The intestines is an interesting texture like you slurp a straw and it's very chewy. Not sure it's my favorite and if I would get it again...

Came here on a Wednesday night because I was craving some kbbq and the intestines that this place was known for and so glad I did. When I first arrived there's was only 3-4 other tables, the host told me that I needed to wait a bit for my table as it needed to set it up (which meant putting down plates, all the side dishes, and turning on the stove I believe) before I could get seated which was fine as it only took less than a minute. We ended up ordering the beef brisket soy bean casserole, the beef tartare, the steamed egg with tofu and of course a small portion of large intestines. The beef brisket casserole was ok, I did find the soup to be quite thick from all the spices so I didn't enjoy drinking it as a soup. I was quite surprised that there were glass noodles in the dish which I liked but overall I wouldn't order it again. The steamed egg and tofu I didn't like at all (which was kind of my fault as I was looking more for that traditional steamed egg and didn't ask when I ordered). However I wish there was some kind of description or something on the menu that indicated it would be served with this kind of sauce or this way as it was very overly salty and made the dish hard to enjoy. The beef tartare was pretty good especially mixed with the raw egg yolk as it was nicely seasoned and was pretty tender, the slices of pear on the side also gave it a nice added texture and added to the overall flavor of the dish. And lastly the large intestines were served pretty much cooked by the time it came out so we didn't have to wait much longer to enjoy it which was nice. We did let it sit for a bit as I like them to be a little more on the crunchy and crispy side for the outside, one of my favorite dishes here and can't go wrong. Now for the service, which I thought was kind of interesting as at first I couldn't tell who worked there and who was a customer since no one was wearing any kind of uniform or anything but just their normal clothing which can be confusing especially since it took me a bit to realize who actually was working after getting sat, especially when most of them are just wearing tshirts and jeans or a hoodie and jeans. Of course this place is pretty casual given how late they are opened and the type of food they serve but this was a first time I've seen it like this going into a restaurant. Our server was pretty attentive and made sure our casserole and small intestine dish were fully cooked before we could eat them, and also made sure to check up on us throughout our meal. Overall, it was a pretty nice experience and I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.

Best Korean restaurant to go to especially after midnight. I'd like to get my bulgogi rice bowl every time I go there. Highly recommend

The food was great, but their soybean paste soup is honestly bleh... 1 out of 5. Disgusting. Service is good. Ambiance is chill vibes good for groups too.

Love gopchang, love gopchang. Idk how many times I need to say this. I love their side soups that you can order with the intestines. I personally LOVE the fatty big intestines extra crispy. Pair that with the chives and sauce.. *chefs kiss* Open late night on weekends as well so a great place to go sober up or end the night.

I've been to both the Annandale and centerville locations. The gopchang here was very good-- the gopchang didn't have any funky smell and the sauce was yummy. Ambiance is very chill and service is friendly. Good to come with friends or family!

Food was ok here but I feel like the Centreville location does a better job especially with the fried rice with the left over intestines. They are well staffed. Plenty of seating available for large or small groups.

I found this restaurant off a food page on Instagram... their handle was like hyper foods or something like that. Mainly came here because they opened until 2am, but I was very shocked to find out that it's not just a late-night spot - it's an absolute GEM! The quality was superb. I did not try the gopchang, but the beef brisket was insanely good. The Galbi and Pork puts the other late night KBBQ to shame. I will never step foot in Tosokchon ever again after this HAHA! Gopchang Story Annandale; you will be seeing me again soon :)

Boyfriend and I shared the small portion of the small intestine gui which was SOOOO good. It came with veggies and rice cakes. Definitely enough to fill us up on its own but we also got the seafood pancake which was probably the best seafood pancake I've ever had. Banchan was also delicious. I'll be craving gopchang all the time!!!

I've been here 4 times now and it has never disappointed! Today, we were a party of 5 adults and 1 baby. We had more than enough food! We got 1 large intestines gui (large) and 1 small intestine gui (large). I loved the side dishes especially the kimchi cucumber and potato salad. I'm, also, a big fan of the dipping sauce! My favorite is the small intestines! Since for me, small intestines are more flavorful meanwhile the large intestines are more juicer. It is fatty side so we, also, ordered kimchi buckwheat noodles which helped reset the taste and oily feeling. Then we got 4 servings of rice and still ended up have food to take back home. The rice was a good kind of spice and we loved it!

My go to place to eat gopchang! This is my second time in a roll coming for my birthday! You can tell how much I enjoy it. For a party of 5, we got a large Gopchang, small intestines, and a large daechang, large intestines. I will admit two large dishes were more than plentiful, and we would have done just fine with the regular size. On top of that, we got noodles to help wash down the grease from the meat, which is the perfect combination. It was kimchi based and it was so refreshing and much needed to help cleanse my platte. Must get even on winter days. The difference between Gopchang and daechang. Gopchang has more flavor and is smaller. Daechang is more juicer and fattier. I personally like the Gopchang more. You must get the rice mix after finishing your meat!!! This is a must because truthfully this is my favorite part of the meal.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GOPCHANG AND WILL GO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FOR IT. This has been the sole place for fulfilling my gopchang cravings. Service has always been good here. All the waiters are very attentive. Not much is cooked on the spot. Bulk of the cooking is behind the scenes. They just bring out the gopchang once it's fully cooked and then heat it in front of you so it's crispy and juicy! Normally always opt for the assorted intestines whether that be the smaller or large option. My parents and I are able to demolish the large option without feeling too full. Not sure if that's a good metric to gauge how much to order (but I love gopchang). We always ask for the fried rice after we finish most of the meat. They cut the leftover meat and veggies really small and add rice with sauce. You have the option to add masago, cheese, egg, and nori to the fried rice. Yes the option costs money but it's totally worth it. I LOVE it all upgraded and what not. Depending on the waiter, we've gotten cute faces in our fried rice. Def recommend!! Tip: I keep the rice on the pan and make the rice super crispy before scooping it.

Worth the long drive! Satisfied my gopchang craving. I would probably get the large intestine next time which tasted the best among all the parts. Recommend adding rice cakes.

Came back on a Saturday night around 11pm. Very empty and slow. We ended up being the only table for a while. Two other parties showed up midway through our time here. Service was great. Food was still about the same quality. The beef tartare though was lacking in quality yet again. However while enjoying my meal my friend saw a cockroach crawl across one of the tables behind me. When I turned around to look that's when the staff took notice. After I turned back around one of the staffs immediately went to try and catch the cockroach.....

Making the rounds on KBBQ restaurants in Annandale and no lie when I say I've been to pretty much every establishment in the area. Gopchang is known to serve intestines and I'm not a fan of that so we've never been. It's not a huge restaurant but it looks clean with the standard industrial type vibe of KBBQ joints. Looks like they are going to go to AYCE beginning in Nov 2023 for folks who like AYCE. Personally, I find the quality of the meat drops with AYCE so I prefer ordering a la carte. They do offer a few package deals - beef, premium beef, pork. We want a combination of beef and pork so order separately. We go with our usual- Kalbi, Chadoelbegi (brisket), and pork belly. The cut of the brisket is a bit odd...it is a bit thicker cut or cut against the grain. Not sure what but it isn't the typical brisket that can get nice and crispy due to the thinness. The pork belly is a bit extra fatty but suppose good if you like it that way. Kalbi is pretty flavorful and good. The small dishes (banchan) aren't really up to the standard of others. Limited variety and on the small side. Disappointing. We also don't get the complementary steamed egg or the tofu beanpaste soup like others offer. To sum it up, Gochang is OK. Definitely not the best of Annandale but probably acceptable if you can't get into the other more popular places. 3.5 stars.

I absolutely love the vibe of this restaurant. The way it looks is simple and unique, and the customer service is excellent! My friend and I ordered small intestines gui, marinated assorted intestines gui, beef brisket, and a intestine tofu stew. Everything was really good! I loved the cleanliness of the intestines, the flavor and spice of the marinade, and the chewiness of the rice cake. The beef brisket was also delicious, especially with all the banchan. And the tofu stew was very hearty. I even made my own ramen soup with the leftovers. If you like intestines and authentic Korean cuisine, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

The gopchang was very good. First time trying it and it tasted great. The kbbq on the other hand was pretty good but not amazing. The all you can eat menu has a limited selection of meats and it also comes with tortillas for wrapping meat??? A little odd but it's optional so no biggy.

Me and my close friends absolutely love this place - their food is great and we go all the time. However, tonight we, a party of 4, walked in at 12:30am. According to online and the signage on their door they close at 2am, and we were told that they're closing the kitchen in 15 min - 12:45am. An hour and 15 before closing? I have definitely eaten there past that time so I'm just confused.

Have been coming for a while now and always get the large assorted intestines - This time we decided to try out the AYCE Kbbq option and can confidently say we do not recommend :' ) The meat is extremely sub par compared to other locations and the grill heat is really difficult to control. Our server step away for a short bit but the meat would immediately burn and they keep their portion sizes fairly small. The pork belly is fine, the brisket is really dry and the galbi is too sweet. I only left it at two stars because we still like the assorted intestines.

Stopped by for a late dinner since the comedy show we went to ended late. We were hankering for some Korean bbq but realized most would not be open by the time we arrived. Friends have recommended this spot before. I am a huge fan of intestines and that's what this place specializes in. I'd say the Korean bbq is secondary here. We ordered the Marinated Assorted Intestine Gui. The sauce in this dish is amazing and takes this dish to another level. It was so good I dipped the Korean bbq meat in it. We also ordered the beef and pork set. It came with beef brisket, beef ribeye, pork shoulder, pork belly. We also had an order of the steamed egg. We really wanted the fried rice add on which you can opt to do after you eat most of the intestines. Unfortunately they ran out of rice. I heard this option is a nice way to end the meal. The server was wonderful. One of the best I've experienced at any Korean restaurant. He was attentive, friendly, and overall amazing! I'll definitely be back to try the fried rice! Go check these guys out!

food was great i love the intestine server the guy was very friendly love how they open late for people that work late

It could've been 3 stars but the roach brought it down to 2 stars. Food is tasty but the service is ridiculously embarrassing to experience. The servers and kitchen staff were all standing together like Meerkats and NO ONE was able to help us order. 6-7 people were standing all together looking around, Spanish girls looking at us directly and yet no one came to take our order. The servers and food runners need to train or learn their table numbers. The girl kept bringing out the wrong meat and side items multiple times. Some of the meat options were from Option B, while we all ordered Option A. We made sure the check reflected well. Annandale is filled with kbbq and this one was a huge fail.

My friend and I finally decided to give this place another try.. and I honestly can not say that we had a better experience. Their pork belly was fresh this time around and was cooked very well. The intestines were chewy and we weren't able to get it cooked well, but maybe thats just user error. Our friends say that the Chantilly/Centreville one is better..so I think I'll give them one more try in that location.

Soo glad a place like this opened up closer to home!! Its hard to find a goood gopchang place, and this place delivers every time!! Ive tried their small intestines, large intestines, and marinated intestines! All sooo good!! Even though the spicy marinate sauce is delicious, but I will always prefer the grilled version. I love that I can grill it to my desired crispiness!! But the BEST part is the fried rice at the end! Just *chef's kiss*! The service has always been phenomenal! Always attentive, friendly, and accommodating. My go to place for gopchang for sure!

I love love love love gopchang story. I love gopchang story so much I've had my birthday here. The signature gopchang set is phenomenal. Don't let the ingredients deter you. They make the gopchang super super clean here and it tastes delicious, juicy, fatty. I love the crispy rice cakes that offset the greasiness as well. Finally, the rice they fry after the meal is absolutely to die for. I will probably be back for my birthday again!

Gopchang Story offers a distinctive culinary experience centered around beef tripe, a delicacy that may be unfamiliar to some. The gopchang here boasts a delightful blend of chewiness and savory richness, showcasing the restaurant's expertise in preparation. Also, the staff's attentiveness enhances the overall dining experience, making patrons feel welcomed and attended to. Despite the higher price point, the combination of exceptional gopchang and top-notch service earns Gopchang Story a solid 4 out of 5. A rare gem in the area, where good service complements the distinctive flavors on the menu. Fair warning: it can get extremely busy here so I recommend going for lunch rather than dinner. * For those don't know what gopchang is: gopchang, or beef tripe, has a unique taste characterized by a slightly chewy texture and a rich, savory flavor. It can absorb the seasonings it's cooked with, offering a combination of meatiness and the essence of marinades or sauces used in preparation.

Must try their intestines! I think we found a spot for late night BBQ/snack craving. We discovered that this place closed at 2am & we were able to do just walk in at midnight on a Saturday night. The menu has great selection, you can do soup stew, Korean bbq and their casseroles set. One of my favorites was the octopus casserole & their garlic fried rice. They have their signature sweet & chili sauce that goes so well with the bbq meat. Can't wait to go back soon to try their other casserole sets.

The gopchang here is pretty high quality. The servers are always so friendly and nice. The 볶음밥 you order after you're done with your meat is also delicious!

I went here for the first time, not too long ago with a friend. We couldn't read the menu so the waiter just got us the standard couples option. They gave us a lot of food! I'm not sure I would've picked out the fluffy egg side dish on my own. My friend thought that maybe we could get away with taking some home but we got denied. It's somewhat expensive and we wanted to get our moneys worth. I guess the waiter just threw away the cooked meat that we couldn't take home. Wasting food makes me sad! Nevertheless it was a good meal. Not much lighting inside

This has grown to be my favorite KBBQ in Annandale. With each visit, I discover more and more menu items I genuinely enjoy. I first came for the Gopchang which was a new experience for me. I've had intestines in other cultures, but never the Korean version. I only seem to like it when it's extra EXTRA crispy. I wasn't sure if I'd return because I'm a beef guy and need my beef. I'm glad I returned because their beef options are EXCEPTIONAL! I thought I was in Los Angeles with the way the beef came out; not to mention you can taste the quality (much better chew than the cheap AYCE beef). Third visit, I realized not only was the beef amazing, but their pork-belly, corn cheese, seafood pancake, practically the entire menu was top tier. Never judge a place by one visit. Try the whole menu and you will see why Gopchang Story is my favorite in Annandale right now!

Come here if you want to dine in an unsanitary environment and receive poor service!! As a person who has been here numerous times before, I can say that this time will be my last time. I recently came here for dinner and even before we sat down, I noticed there was a strand of hair in the kimchi which already set me off. Everything was okay until I found a SQUISHED, DEAD BUG, half way through eating my rice. We quickly informed our server and he immediately threw the rice bowl out and informed us the best he could do was to offer us 30% off on our meal. While i hate to be one of those opportunistic customers, this felt like a big slap in the face. I wish the situation could have been handled better since there was a dead bug in my meal. Ever since they switched to their AYCE options, the quality and service has definitely declined. I definitely will not be coming back to this establishment due to its disregard of food handling and safety.

Service was terrible. There were only 3 tables seated when got there and 3 workers at the front desk and dining areas. After we got seated it took awhile before anyone took our order. Apparently the owner of the business was sat at one of the tables with his friends or family. He actually had to signal one of the staff to come to our table to take our order. Staff was at the front counter chit chatting not paying attention to the customer's needs. This happened at least 4 times throughout dinner including trying to ask for a check to pay for dinner. I think the owner should have taken the initiative to step away from the table he sat at and talked with his staff about paying more attention to his customers. Food was good but a little expensive for the lack of service. Don't think I will be going back there or recommend friends to go there anytime soon. Hopefully the owner will figure out what it takes to keep customers to come back.

Gopchang story is a great additional to Annandale in terms of diversifying the Korean scene. On the outside, it looks like an ordinary Korean restaurant and you wouldn't know that its specialties are actually unique. But they do the best with innards and other unique cuts of intestines. I would say that several of the cuts are a little too fatty for my taste, but that's just the way gopchang is intended to be. Other than that, the ambiance and service is great. If anyone is looking for makchang/daechang or gopchang, I would recommend his place over other places that serve the same cut.

I came here with my family on a sunday afternoon and it wasn't packed so we were able to be seated right away. We got the intestine large set as well as the bulgogi and the fried rice and they were all just ok. I liked the fried rice the most. The bulgogi tasted sweet and the pieces of meat were all mushed up and small so it was unpleasant to eat. We also felt like the portion of the large intestine was not that much for the price. I'm not sure I would go back as there are many kbbq places in this area but it was ok to try once.

Let's be real - intestines are an acquired taste. But Gopchang Story does it well. They also have a good amount of less adventurous foods too. The raw beef dish I had was very good. The beef texture very fresh and paired well with the egg yolk and Korean pear. I would definitely recommend if you're feeling adventurous. The seafood and intestines casserole was also really good and hit the spot in the cold weather! I definitely recommend getting rice at the end and mixing with the casserole to make kinda like a "fried rice", it was very good. Now onto the intestines themselves, I tried both the small and large intestines. I prefer the small ones because they are crispier, while the big ones had a more fatty texture. But both had a great flavor and the "snow powder" they put on top was also great! Service was great! A waitress accidentally dropped one of our Tteokkochi skewers, and quickly and promptly replaced it after apologizing. The waiter was attentive and provided lots of information for the question we had. Everyone was properly masked up and I truly appreciate the covid precautions they took with the plastic dividers and appropriate seating distance. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for an adventurous eat!

To be honest the customer service is extremely poor. The waitresses are a bit rude and snatched the menus away and did not come back to ask if we wanted to order more. At places like this, they come back to ask, but they did not even come to check on us even once. They forgot our drinks and our straws... I felt as though they only really checked up on bigger group that looked like they'd be willing to spend more money and order much more. We were going to order more, but with the way they were acting, we just decided to leave instead.

I love love love this place - I can eat here everyday if my arteries don't get clogged. The intestines we had were amazing, I prefer waiting for the large intestines to cook for awhile, until it gets really crispy and most of the fat is rendered. We always end the meal with fried rice, which happens on the same skillet the intestines are served in after you finish them. The rice soaks up all that flavor, even when I don't have the room for it, I take it to go and have it for lunch the next day :) The service was excellent as well. Organ meats can be intimidating but I'd say definitely give it a try!

Gopchang literally means intestines so go here for their dishes that involves intestines!! The restaurant is clean and and very organized. I liked that the vibe is minimalistic so the focus really is on the food!! We ordered a variety of intestines, an order of thick pork belly, and fried rice which comes at the end of the meal. Note that they also have white rice if you request it. The variety of intestines were great! They cook it infront if you and add what they call their "crack powder," which by the way, I can see why they call it that . In any case, that dish includes small and large intestines, the entrails and tripe. The small intestine is the cheesiest out of everything, then the tripe and then the large intestine and then the entrails. I thought they tasted good! The thick pork belly was also delicious! I do like mine crispy and so I made sure it was well cooked. Good stuff! No complaints here! At the end, if you have leftover intestines, you can request the fried rice be mixed in with it. They also cook this infront of you where they add egg and if you request it, cheese and roe! We did and it was delicious! So get it at the end! Yummm!

We decided to come here since another place we went to was fully booked that day. We were able to get a seat very quickly and the wait staff was super nice. Apparently, they just started to do ayce and that was a great call. The pork belly slices were thick but still good, where I would say the soy garlic was better than the spicy. The stir-fried pork and beef brisket were both good. Something that I have not seen at any other place was their cubed rib meat, which was really good and a stand out on the menu. Not a bad place to go for some ayce kbbq.

Yummy! Had gopchang here for the first time and it was delicious. Definitely bot something I could eat too much of since its veryy heavy but the highlight is the fried rice. Super awesome service and good banchan

Food options are pretty good and overall experience was good but the service is sooooo slow. This was my second time here and service pace is the same but otherwise a good spot
