You can’t skip the fried rice when indulging in intestines, and this place nails it!
Here, they serve up some seriously good grilled intestines, but let me tell you, the fried rice steals the show. Start your meal by boldly ordering not one, but two servings of those delectable small intestines. Picture this: the grilled intestines are a perfect shade of golden brown, sporting a delightful chewy exterior and a surprisingly light inside. And the best part? No overpowering odors, just pure satisfaction. These intestines will fill you up like no other. The moment those juicy, flavorful bites hit my taste buds, I was genuinely impressed. So, I had to ask for the secret, right? Well, turns out they pre-boil the intestines before grilling them to perfection. As for presentation, they serve this dish with a hint of fresh chives for that extra zing, and don’t forget the soy sauce with sliced green chilies โ it’s a flavor explosion. Now, let’s talk about the fried rice โ an absolute must-try. The secret ingredient? Cheese. Yes, you heard it right. The addition of fresh, natural cheese elevates this fried rice to a whole new level of luxury. I can still vividly recall the exquisite flavor.
The ambiance here is just right โ the place is roomy and well-kept. The owner? Super friendly. I’m definitely planning a return visit. By the way, Gopsapa is just a short 10-minute walk from Gilum Station’s Exit 10. A pro tip: give them a call in advance to reserve a table, as they tend to close up shop once they run out of ingredients for the day. Plus, you’ve got Korea University and Sungshin Women’s University nearby โ perfect for a leisurely stroll down Daehak-ro together.
