A beef-intestine grill house in the middle of Myeongdong (Myeongdong 7-gil 18-1, ground floor), between Euljiro 1-ga and Myeongdong stations; it is the Myeongdong branch of the Gunja Daehan Gopchang chain. The house assortment is 23,900 won a serving, the Korean-beef assortment 25,900 won and Korean-beef small intestine 23,900 won. Staff do all the grilling at the table, put on a flame show partway through, and most tables finish with 4,000-won fried rice. Two separate posts from pairs of diners came to 51,800 won. We read 21 posts dated June 16 to October 6, 2026; 18 describe an actual visit, and 6 disclose sponsorship.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- You don't grill here. Sixteen visit posts say staff cook everything from start to finish, cut it into bites and drain the fat as they go. The order is the same in every account: the heart comes off first onto your plate, then a big flare-up of flame (the 'fire show') once the meat is nearly done, then kimchi and chives go onto the griddle. Two posts say staff also tell you which sauce goes with which cut, such as soy sauce for small intestine and red sauce for large intestine.
- The entrance is narrow but the room runs deep. Eleven posts call it spacious, several noting that it is much bigger inside than it looks from the street; one says the front was full but they were led to tables further back. The figure of up to 60 seats was copied from a listing.
- Many of the diners are foreign tourists: nine posts saw this themselves, and one weekend 1 p.m. visit put it at about half the room. There are English, Chinese and Japanese menus, and one writer was greeted in English. One post found it somewhat noisy as a result.
- Eleven posts said the offal had no off smell when they ate it, and none said otherwise. Almost every post repeats that the house ages its intestines with fruit to remove odor, but that is the restaurant's own claim and we don't count it.

- The kimchi and seasoned chives can be refilled: four posts mention it, and two of them refilled twice.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
12 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 18 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 2 of 18 posts |
| Separate restrooms | 1 of 18 posts |
One post states it is on the ground floor; none mentions a basement or upstairs seating.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in; nobody wrote about it, which is not the same as saying there is a problem. Posts only note that the entrance is small.
Two posts say the restroom is inside the restaurant. One says it is separated by gender; another says both 'separate stalls' and 'unisex' in the same post, so we can't settle it.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 21 posts we gathered, 3 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Posts disagree on whether the meat arrives pre-seared: three say yes, two say it came raw and was cooked from scratch, and one of those two says it takes 10 to 15 minutes before you can eat. They differ even for the same dish, so we can't tell whether it depends on the order.
- Waiting varies. Two posts queued (one even early in the evening, one only briefly) and one got a table right away despite a nearly full dinner room; none says how many minutes. Three posts booked through Naver, walked straight in, and found a card with their name on the table.
- Twelve posts say it's an easy walk from the subway: about 4 minutes from Euljiro 1-ga exits 5 or 6, or 5 to 6 minutes from Myeongdong exit 6. One writer came by bus to the Lotte Department Store stop (02-140) and walked.
- Few posts say who they came with: two were dates and one was with a friend. One writer noticed quite a few solo diners but didn't eat alone.
- Twelve visit posts give opening hours, all copied from listings: 11:00 to 01:40 the next morning, with last orders at 01:00 in five of them. One labels these weekday hours. No post gives a closing day (one post's 'closed Saturdays' refers to a nearby parking lot).
- On price, three posts called it good value and one self-paid post said it costs more than all-you-can-eat places but is worth it. Two posts list 51,800 won for two people; one itemized order of the house assortment for two plus cheese fried rice, two bottles of soju and a soft drink adds up to 67,800 won. A claim of free fried rice and cheese at weekday lunch appears in only one post and is unconfirmed.
- Six posts disclose sponsorship, and several undisclosed ones follow the same script (fruit-aged offal, fire show, staff grill for you, foreign diners, Myeongdong date night) with the same info block at the end. Two posts say they paid themselves. The phone number is 0507-1370-5697; three writers booked through Naver themselves.
