Introduction
Apgujeong is known for its trendy restaurants and lively dining scene, and this spot was a pleasant surprise.
Sinsa Sogopchang Apgujeong is especially popular with international visitors, and during my visit, most of the tables were filled with foreigners.
It instantly felt like a global dining spot rather than a local-only restaurant, which made the experience even more interesting.
What Is Sogopchang?
Sogopchang refers to beef small intestines, a classic Korean comfort food loved for its rich flavor and chewy texture.
When grilled properly, Sogopchang becomes crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside.
The natural fat melts as it cooks, creating a deep, savory taste that pairs perfectly with simple seasonings and side dishes.
For many Koreans, Sogopchang is more than just a mealโitโs a soul food often enjoyed late at night or during casual gatherings.
At Sinsa Sogopchang Apgujeong, the beef intestines are clean, well-prepared, and grilled to bring out their full flavor without being greasy.
Complimentary Kimchi Ramen Before the Meal
Right after placing our order, a hot bowl of kimchi ramen was served.
It was unexpected and comforting, helping to warm up the stomach before the main dishes arrived.
The spicy broth and soft noodles made it a perfect starter and added to the generous vibe of the restaurant.
