200m from Samseong Station. Located in Gangnam, this restaurant draws steady crowds for Gopchang-jeongol, the beef tripe hot pot that sits at the center of the menu. A medium portion at 67,000 won arrives with a generous pile of tripe, mushrooms, and sweet cabbage simmering in a savory, deeply seasoned broth. The meal typically closes with fried rice stirred into the remaining soup, finished with seaweed and sesame oil. Visitors who prefer individual portions tend to reach for the Naejangtang, where the offal is carefully cleaned and free of any off-smell. The homemade Kkakdugi radish kimchi, made in-house with a firm, clean crunch, is worth ordering separately. Waits on Sunday afternoons run about ten minutes, kept manageable by fast table turnover. Arriving before 5:30 PM for dinner is advisable.
