The Byeolmi Gopchang that people used to line up for in Bangi-dong now has a spot in Munjeong.
If you know the Songpa area at all, the Bangi-dong original is already a familiar name for grilled beef offal. This one is its own directly-run branch, and it only opened in May 2026, so it’s still brand new. It took over the old Yichadol unit in Terra Tower, and the red sign is easy to spot from down the block.
What makes it interesting isn’t just the food. It’s the patio.

Because it opens at 11 a.m. with no break, you can come for a late lunch, an early drink, or dinner. It’s close to the station and has parking, which is rare and handy in this office district.
A quick note for visitors from abroad: like almost every restaurant in Korea, this place takes credit cards, so an internationally accepted card works fine. There’s no tipping culture here, so you don’t need to leave one, and staff may actually be a little puzzled if you try. Not much English is spoken, but ordering is simple, you can point at the wall menu and hold up fingers for how many portions you want.
Who it suits
This is an after-work kind of place. The Terra Tower area is a quiet office zone by day, but once the sun goes down it turns into a patio-drinking street. It works for a date, and with plenty of tables it handles group dinners too.
Munjeong didn’t really have a dedicated beef-offal spot before, so locals have been showing up fast.
The patio is the draw
There’s an indoor room and an outdoor terrace, and most people head straight for the terrace. There are around eight patio tables, and a roof overhead means you can still sit outside when it rains.
The Munjeong patio street feels different from Bangi-dong. In Bangi-dong, cars and scooters pass right by the outdoor tables, so you get a bit of exhaust with your meal. Here the patio sits on a car-free pedestrian plaza, so it’s noticeably calmer and cleaner, and you don’t have to raise your voice to talk.
One honest caveat: the patio depends on the weather. On a hot midday or a windy, rainy evening, indoors is the better call. The air conditioning inside runs cold, which actually makes it a solid choice for grilling in midsummer.
A seasonal tip: Korean summers are humid with a rainy stretch in mid-season, so if the patio is the whole point of your visit, check the forecast first.
Menu and prices
The menu stays focused on offal:
Assorted gopchang (모듬소곱창구이) 25,000 won (small intestine + large intestine + abomasum + heart)
So-gopchang (소곱창구이, small intestine) 25,000 won
So-daechang (소대창구이, large intestine) 25,000 won
Teukyang (특양구이, abomasum) 28,000 won
So-makchang (소막창구이) 27,000 won
Bokkeumbap (볶음밥, fried rice) 4,000 won
Doenjang-jjigae (된장찌개, soybean stew) 3,000 won
Bottled beer (Kloud, Cass) is 6,000 won. The prices match the Bangi-dong original.
To be fair, it isn’t a bargain. Beef offal runs pricey and the portions aren’t huge, so for two people a single serving each can feel a little short. If you eat a lot, order one more plate than the headcount suggests.
A generous starting spread
Your order comes with a set of sides: pickled onion, a soy sauce with cheongyang chili, garlic and green peppers, sesame oil dip, ssamjang, and green-onion kimchi (대파김치).
That chili soy sauce is the key move, it cuts the richness of the offal. Just know that the cheongyang chili is genuinely spicy. Korean “spicy” is already hot for many visitors, so go gently if you’re not used to it.
The complimentary eomuktang (어묵탕, fish cake soup) is a quiet highlight. It comes bubbling in an earthenware pot, sharp and clean from the cheongyang chili, and it pairs almost too well with a drink. They’ll usually refill it.
You also get fresh liver and cheonyeop (천엽, omasum) on the house. The cheonyeop is crunchy with a dip of sesame oil and salt, and the liver is mild and faintly sweet with no off-taste. If raw offal isn’t your thing, just ask them to skip it.
The offal, piece by piece
The signature is the assorted plate, small intestine, large intestine, abomasum, and heart, all on one pan over a bed of garlic chives, bean sprouts, onion, and potato. It looks generous from the first glance.
The best part is that everything arrives fully grilled and plated. No flipping, no fuss, you just eat. A small burner keeps it warm. Because you’re not hovering over raw meat, your clothes and hair pick up far less smoke than at a typical grill house.
There’s a rhythm to it. Eat the heart (염통, yeomtong) first, it turns chewy if it sits on the heat too long. Done right, it’s tender with a savory note close to a good cut of beef.
The so-gopchang is packed with the rich inner “gop,” which bursts as you chew. It’s fresh enough that there’s almost no gaminess.
Daechang is chewy outside with a fatty layer that melts inside. It’s the most polarizing piece, though, since it’s rich. If it feels heavy, dip it in the chili soy sauce with a slice of pepper and it cleans right up.
Teukyang has almost no fat, so it’s crisp and light, a nice balance between the richer cuts, and many people add a plate of it. Makchang is thick with a defined texture and a satisfying chew.
Try laying the green-onion kimchi on the grill and cooking it with the offal, the fat softens it and the savory kick goes way up. One practical tip: the heat runs strong, so the offal scorches fast. Keep the chives and bean sprouts under the offal to shield it.
Finish with the fried rice
The bokkeumbap here is basically mandatory. It’s fried in the offal fat with seaweed flakes and seasoning, deeply savory.
The crust that sticks to the pan is the prize, some people let it crisp up before scraping it off. It’s the kind of thing your spoon keeps going back to even when you’re full. Honestly, a few regulars say the fried rice beats the offal.
Service and room
Indoors there’s a yellow-walled room with wood tables and red accent chairs, much like the original. The layout turns over quickly and there’s a fair amount of space. Several staff are usually on the floor, so a raised hand gets noticed fairly fast.
That said, at peak hours orders can pile up or get missed, so during a busy stretch it’s worth confirming your order went through.
Parking, waiting, and reservations
Parking is two hours free in the Terra Tower garage. Bangi-dong is tricky for both parking and restrooms, while Terra Tower has a roomy garage and clean building restrooms, a point a lot of people single out.
Waiting depends on timing. By about 6:30 p.m. on a weekday the patio tends to fill, and a line forms after that. Friday and weekend evenings are busier. Earlier on a weekday, or around 7-8 p.m., people report finding open seats.
Patio tables can be reserved by phone for parties of four or more. Phone reservations take priority over the app, so if the patio is a must, call ahead.
For getting around without a car, Munjeong Station is on Line 8, three minutes away on foot. Google Maps is unreliable for walking and transit directions in Korea, so use Naver Map or KakaoMap instead, and the KakaoT app works well for taxis.
A nearby alternative
The Munjeong patio street has another option. Munjeong Bon Hanu Gopchang near M-State leans more toward a plainer, purer offal flavor, so depending on your taste it’s worth comparing. Byeolmi leans savory and a little salty, thanks to the seasoned chives and bean sprouts.
Final thoughts
The real appeal is getting Byeolmi without the trek to crowded Bangi-dong. The flavor is close to the original, and the parking, restrooms, and the calm of the patio street come out ahead.
Go in knowing the portions and value are a touch underwhelming and that service can wobble at peak times. Even so, with everything grilled for you, the fish cake soup, and the fried rice to close, it’s an easy pick for a lively dinner near Munjeong Station.
