Gopchang (grilled offal)

Gopchang is grilled beef or pork tripe, a category that spans salt-grilled small intestine, stir-fried tripe, and its cousin makchang (grilled abomasum) — Korea's answer to Japanese horumon-yaki, though the prep and seasoning differ. Of the 12 spots on this list, ten are classified as Grilled Meat & K-BBQ, with one drinking-spot and one soup crossover.

Five to start with

Nongoeul Sadang-dong · 고깃집 · ₩15–40k — A charcoal-grill house in Sadang built on chamnamu-fired galbisal (beef rib meat) and fresh duck loin, popular enough to draw a roughly 100-meter line during evening rush hour near Sadang Station.
Anju Maeul Seochon · 안주주점 (제철 해산물 안주) · ₩15–40k — A Seochon anju bar built around a rotating spread of seasonal seafood dishes — herring roe bibimbap, thick-cut hoe, and grilled gopchang served alongside soju and makgeolli.
Igyeongmun Sundae-Gopchang Donui-dong · 순대곱창전골 · under ₩15k — A longstanding Jongno-3-ga hot pot shop known for its sundae-gopchang jeongol — a shared stew of blood sausage and beef tripe served in small/medium/large pot sizes — plus individually sized sagol and spicy sundae-guk soup bowls at lunch.

The heaviest cluster is Seongsu-dong 2-ga with two listings; Sadang-dong, Euljiro, Noryangjin, and Seochon each contribute one. Prices sit almost entirely in the ₩₩ band (10 of 12), with two in the cheaper tier and none over ₩40,000.

Walk-in access covers 10 of 12, and solo dining is present at 3. No listing here carries official recognition, and the oldest dates to 1985 — an older baseline than several of the other dish hubs, consistent with gopchang's roots in market-district grilling.

Yeongsu Bunsik operates out of Seongsu's old Ttukdo Market with gopchang stir-fry and charcoal-grilled makchang that draws weekend lines regulars have tracked for years, while Gobau Jumeok Sogeumgui near Noryangjin has run its husband-and-wife salt-grilled pork operation since 1991.
