고우성수 Gou is written 古友, 'old friend' — the house says it wants each bowl to feel like meeting an old friend; Seongsu is the neighbourhood.

A pot-rice (sotbap) restaurant on the second floor of 9-1 Yeonmujang-gil, Seongsu. Each pot comes with six side dishes and seaweed soup, and you finish by pouring hot water into the pot for scorched-rice tea. Prices: eggplant pot rice 13,500 won (two posts), eel 19,500 won (two posts), steak 22,000 won (two posts). The most-ordered dish is the cheese dakgalbi pot rice, in five posts. We read 14 posts dated 22 June to 1 October 2026; 12 describe an actual visit.

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
- Four posts booked ahead, and three of those walked straight in. Two unbooked weekend visits split: one hit a queue and browsed a neighbouring shop until a KakaoTalk alert came; the other arrived at an off-peak hour and was seated at once. Four posts in all say there was no wait.
- Seating is mostly tables for two and four. A party of six found the group table taken and split across a four-top and a two-top; another post saw a group table for up to eight. One post sat in a small room but found too little legroom.
- Two posts found it salty: one says the eggplant pot's sauce sinks so the last spoonfuls get salty — mix it all the way down; the other blames cheese dakgalbi plus salted-seafood side dishes.
- Two posts took up the offer of a free fried minced-rib patty for booking on Naver and writing a review; one says both diners had to write one.

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.
Getting inside
| Second floor | 2 of 10 posts |
|---|
The dining room is upstairs: two posts describe going up to it. One notes the menu is posted at the ground-floor stair entrance and that you queue downstairs. Another says the room splits into two sides with the kitchen in the middle.
No post mentions a step at the door, wheelchair or stroller access, or a lift — that means we don't know, not that there is none. One post implies a stair climb to the second floor; another warns you to mind your head on the way in.
No post says where the toilet is or whether it is split by gender; we don't know.
No one mentioned: In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. 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 12 posts we gathered, 2 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
- Three posts call it pricey and one calls it good value. Prices also disagree: cheese dakgalbi pot rice is 13,000 or 15,800 won in two July 2026 posts, pork belly 13,500 or 14,900 won. The figures do not line up by date, so we cannot say which is current.
- Opening hours appear only in copied info blocks. Seven posts agree on 11:30-21:00 daily. The weekday break is 15:00-16:30 in four posts and 15:30-16:30 in two; four say there is no break on weekends and holidays, and four give last order at 20:00.
- Only one post describes the walk: from Seongsu Station it was farther than expected, so the writer suggests stopping at pop-ups on the way. The '414 m from Ttukseom exit 5' line is copied.
- Three posts went with friends, two with a partner, one with a child — whose daughter finished a steak pot on her own. No one mentions high chairs or changing tables.
- The phone number 0507-1428-0391 and the booking terms (weekdays after 16:30, up to four people) come from listing info copied into two posts.
- Two of the 14 posts are roundup lists with no visit and are not counted; one of them gives 'no break' and an 18,500-won steak pot that match no other post. The claim that YouTuber Heebab ate here appears in four posts but is hearsay.
