Gopchang dish tastes better than Korea! It's a taste I'll remember even after I return home. In particular, the noodles in the kimchi rolled noodles are naengmyeon (naengmyeon), so they go really well with tripe.

We were seated quickly, really different and positive experience. Food was very good. We didn't get adventurous with the all the intestine options, but what we got was very delicious. Atmosphere was very cool, the waiter was very nice and attentive. Overall, I reccomend the experience.

Even though it was annoying, it was the taste and texture that made me write a review. If you enjoy eating giblets in Korea, I recommend this. You will be disappointed in many ways.

Came because I loved it in NY. I found this location to be just okay though. The meat was too oily and they didnt get rid of the oil. Also ordered the fried rice but didnt get served it but was charged. The marinated crab was also just okay. Overall, just okay. Servers were nice though and atmosphere looks like good barDietary restrictions: Accommodates allergiesParking: parking was easy to find when i visited

While eating, I found a hair in my fried rice! This is disgusting. The manager still doesn't acknowledge it.

The food was excellent. I was afraid the intestines might be smelly but not at all. Youngster vibe atmosphere. Will recommend to my fam & friends.

We ordered the mala big intestines medium spice and was not disappointed. It was quite delicious and flavorful. Plentiful for a table of 4. Love the interior design - little small stools around the bbq table that opens for storage. I have this place 3 stars because: 1. Side dishes could definitely use some beefing up. There were like 4 pieces of kimchi - however you can ask for more. 2. Service could definitely improve.Will definitely come back though for some intestines again!

The food here is always amazing but the service is pretty varying. Regardless I will still be coming back periodically to satisfy that Gochang craving!

We finally tried this place! We went on a friday night just past 5pm and the place was pretty empty. We were promptly seated and pretty much left alone to figure out what to do. There were no menus handed out but the wife noticed a QR code at the table so we scanned it to see the offerings. It would've been nice had the hostest or waiters asked if it was our first time and explained things. They didn't tell us the seats open to store our belongings either, I figured that out later. The seats are not that comfortable, IMHO. We didn't know if we were supposed to figure out a way to order from the QR code menu or what, but eventually a waitress walked by and was like "oh, are you ready to order?". Makes me wonder if I had done something wrong?? The waitress did grill one of our gui orders at the table. No one ever checked up on us after the food was done. Service is only a 3 stars out of 5. We were really excited to try this type of food. For any parties of 2+, you're mandated to order at least 2 servings of the gui for some reason. Whatever, I was fine with that as I was excited to eat this type of stuff. They have one grill at each table and because we had to order 2, one had to be prepared in the kitchen while the other is prepared tableside. This creates a problem where one comes out already done and the other is still cooking. Any other dishes are also already out on the table. We waited till the waitress finished cooking the one serving of gui at the table before really digging in. Gui: The marinated gui had good flavor. Suprisingly the regular assorted gui tasted even better. They put some powerdery type of seasoning on it prior to cooking. Because this one was cooked at the table, it was hot and remained hot throughout the meal. These were both good but I was disappointed that the shell or outer ring of the gui tasted kind of rubbery or plasticky. It was just hard to chew. 3/5 stars. Side Dishes: The side dishes served to us were obviously not freshly picked and plated for us...it was pre-plated and sitting around. It was just ok. 2/5 stars. Spicy marinated crab: You get 2.5 whole crabs marinated in very spicy seasoning/paste. The meat was soft and tasted kind of sweet. We wished they offered other options, like just marinated crab (without the spicy), as the spiciness level was pretty high. We had to order some rice to really enjoy this one. They give you thin gloves to eat this with your hands. 4/5 stars. Intestine tteokbokki: This is basically some rice noodles with fish cakes and intestines. Some of the rice noodles were still stuck together...i noticed this several times as I went in. The fish cakes were a lot better than the ones served as side dishes. The intestines were the same as the ones in the assorted gui. The sauce is very good and I found myself dunking the grilled gui pieces in this a lot. I'd give this dish a 3.5/5 stars. The decor inside is very modern and nice. There are TV's on the walls showing artists singing korean songs. The tables had induction style grill tops so wirings was minimal. The seats were uncomfortable but they do swing open to store your stuff so they don't absorb the bbq smell. Value wise, I think is okay. These are specialty types of foods here and I understand the prices will add up. I'm not sure why they force 2 servings of gui for 2+ parties though, but whatever. Upon checkout, they bring a device over and have you pay at the table. The default tip amount on the machine was 20% upon check out but you could make it awkward and try to choose something else while the waitress is staring you down. Overall, it was a unique experience, one that I'd been looking forward to since they opened. I'm just not sure if I'd come back...maybe I will, just to see if the hard to chew gui was a common occurrence or just a bad night. I think an overall score of 3.5/5 is accurate, as Yelp has it. Unfortunately I can only choose 3 or 4. I erred on 4 for now.

Lovely and lively place! I've had many seafood pancakes in different Korean restaurants before, but this one was another level! Crispy with generous amount of plumpy jumbo shrimps and minimum batter, which brought out the vegetable's flavor. I would totally come back just to have seafood pancake again! Their fatty brisket spicy stew was great as well.
