The secret to over a decade of love: the unchanging taste

Even as time passes, the taste remains unchanged.

When I visited a famous gopchang restaurant in Hongdae after a long time, memories from ten years ago came flooding back. I opened the door with a flutter of excitement, wondering if the taste from that time would still be alive. The unchanged sign and interior gave me a feeling as if I had traveled back in time. What is the true strength of this place that has steadfastly maintained its presence in Hongdae's gopchang street?

A Comfortable Dining Environment

In the past, gopchang restaurants were often associated with narrow and noisy atmospheres, but this place offered spacious seating and a comfortable environment. Particularly, since all the gopchang is grilled before serving, I could enjoy my meal without worrying about my clothes smelling. This allowed me to focus solely on the taste and have a delightful time. It could easily be a perfect date spot in Hongdae.

A Diverse Menu

The menu is divided into three categories: al-gopchang, vegetable gopchang, and green onion gopchang, which allows customers to choose according to their preferences. The vegetable gopchang, in particular, comes generously filled with various vegetables like sweet potato noodles, cabbage, and perilla leaves, enhancing both texture and flavor. The side dishes of fried rice and steamed eggs are also must-tries. A unique dish called cup-chang caught my attention as well.

A Generous Combination of Vegetables and Gopchang

When I ordered the vegetable gopchang, I was surprised by the generous portion. The gopchang was tender without any off-putting smells, and the seasoning was just spicy enough to keep me reaching for more. Eating it wrapped in perilla leaves with a generous dollop of mayonnaise was simply fantastic. It was a taste that made me crave a drink. This is truly a flavor that deserves recognition as a top gopchang spot in Hongdae.

Fried Rice is a Must

Adding fried rice to the leftover seasoning after finishing the gopchang is essential. I appreciated that it was served ready to eat in a pot. The fried rice stir-fried in the vegetable gopchang seasoning was absolutely delicious. It was a taste that made it impossible to put down my spoon! Ending the meal at Hongdae gopchang with fried rice is a must.
