Gangsu Gobchang
강수곱창 · Korean BBQ
ABOUT
Gangsu Gobchang is a long-running Hongdae-style Korean offal restaurant specializing in grilled beef intestines and other beef cuts. Its menu includes assorted gopchang with gopchang, makchang, daechang and yeomtong, as well as individual cuts such as al gopchang, Hanwoo daechang and special yang. The current menu lists the small assorted platter at ₩38,000 for about two servings, making it a relatively accessible way to try several cuts together. The restaurant sits slightly away from the busiest Hongdae streets and has outdoor terrace seating, giving it a casual Korean ya-jang atmosphere in good weather. Recent visitors particularly mention the clean-tasting gopchang, friendly service and terrace seating. Older and newer food posts both show that the restaurant has maintained a focus on beef offal rather than shifting toward a broader Korean barbecue menu.
WHAT LOCALS SAY
Recent visitors tend to highlight al gopchang rather than simply ordering a mixed platter. The gopchang is described as clean-tasting, with the restaurant's service and preparation also receiving positive comments. Staff are reported to grill the intestines for diners, making the meal relatively easy for first-time visitors who may not be familiar with how different cuts should be cooked. Older reviews also repeatedly mention the combination of chewy, crisp textures from the different cuts, especially al gopchang and special yang. Bean-sprout soup is served alongside the meal, while liver and omasum have historically been offered as complimentary starters. Cheese fried rice is another popular way to finish the meal, although one older review considered the fried rice less distinctive than the grilled intestines themselves. The outdoor terrace is an important part of the restaurant's current appeal. Recent visitors specifically chose Gangsu Gobchang for a casual ya-jang experience around Hongdae, describing the combination of outdoor seating, drinks and grilled gopchang as atmospheric.
