What is Blue Ribbon? ⭐
Gangnam Gopchang fans will love this place!
If you’re searching for delicious restaurants in Korea, you’ll often hear about the Blue Ribbon Survey.
It’s one of the most trusted restaurant rating systems in Korea — like the Korean version of the Michelin Guide. 🍽️✨
Only restaurants with outstanding food and customer satisfaction receive Blue Ribbon marks, so if a place has it… you know it’s legit.
And today’s star is exactly that kind of restaurant:
Jingu Gopchang at Gangnam Station — my go-to spot and also a proud Blue Ribbon Winner! 🙌

Side Dishes That Pair Perfectly with Gangnam Gopchang
Before the grilling even starts, Jingu Gopchang brings out a variety of Korean side dishes that perfectly complement the rich flavor of gopchang.
From seasoned chives to crispy seaweed and flavorful dipping sauces, each side dish adds a delicious contrast.
These small plates make your entire meal feel more dynamic and satisfying with every bite.
What Is Muk Eun Ji?
Muk Eun Ji is aged kimchi that has been fermented for a long time, resulting in deeper and bolder flavors.
At Jingu Gopchang, it is served washed — a common Korean style of preparing well-fermented kimchi to make it less salty while keeping its rich tanginess. This washed Muk Eun Ji pairs wonderfully with grilled beef gopchang because it refreshes the palate and balances the fattiness.
Wrap a piece of crispy gopchang with it, and you’ll discover a perfect harmony of textures and flavors that Korean locals swear by.
Premium Beef Gopchang Mix — Best Value in Gangnam Gopchang
This sizzling plate is the signature Beef Gopchang Mixed Grill at Jingu Gopchang, and it’s truly the star of the meal.
Despite using premium Korean beef (Hanwoo),
the price is impressively reasonable — 23,000 KRW per person (≈ $18 USD) — which is definitely affordable for Gangnam.
The mixed grill includes a delicious selection of cuts:
- Gopchang — small intestines, juicy and flavorful
- Makchang — large intestines, perfectly chewy
- Daechang — fatty pieces that melt in your mouth
- Yang — tripe with rich texture and taste
- Heart (Yeomtong) — tender and meaty bites
With seasoned chives and onions cooked together on the pan, every piece becomes more aromatic and savory.
A perfect balance of crispy edges and juicy centers makes each bite exciting.
If you’re searching for a top-quality Gangnam gopchang experience with great value, this dish won’t disappoint.

The eggs rise beautifully in a hot stone bowl, creating a soft, cloud-like texture.
On top, the melted cheese adds rich flavor and extra comfort while you wait for your Gangnam gopchang to finish grilling.
It’s warm, creamy, and feels like a generous welcome treat that sets the tone for a fantastic meal ahead.
Stir-Fried Kimchi Rice — The Perfect Ending to Gangnam Gopchang
Even when you think you’re full, you absolutely must order the stir-fried kimchi rice. It’s the ultimate finale that brings all the flavors together.
The staff cooks it right on the hot pan using the remaining gopchang oil, kimchi, and crispy rice bits, creating that iconic Korean BBQ “finish.”
It becomes smoky, savory, and slightly spicy — a flavor that keeps you wanting more.
This dish isn’t just a side; it’s a whole experience you can’t leave without.
