I went on a weekday evening, so it was quiet and the service was good. Now, whenever I want to eat tripe, I have to come here.

Very delicious but the food itself has a lot of fat. I believe it is definitely not healthy food at all.

I've now been to almost all of the spots in the Gwinnett area that serve offal as their main deal. Now I don't care what people say about eating "chitlins" because the way Koreans do it, it's done right! Offal is basically the innards, the less desired bits, but from a nutrition profile, pack full of fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and of course protein but we in the west don't necessarily like it because... intestines tend to be known as the "poop shoot" so it's not the most appetizing part of the animal, but it is definitely packed full of vitamins and nutrients no one really understands. I love the stuff and offal seems to have experienced a renaissance in the Korean street food scene and when you live near what is regarded as KoreaTown 2.0 here in Gwinnett county, that line of dining option becomes quite clear and it is definitely needed. So see this place open up, I had to come. It used to be where the old Iron Guys Korean BBQ joint was and they flipped it to be able to serve offal. The place is lit in such a way that you can see your food, but also dark enough where it can serve as an intimate date setting and yes, this is a fantastic date spot for those who call themselves "foodies"... if they can't handle offal, they aren't foodies and should take it off their dating profiles! The service is fantastic. They aren't attentive other than to cook the innards but more or less, you really will have all you need. Now that the service and ambiance is out of the way... let's talk about the main deal... the offal. It's literally all the stuff the FDA neglects to tell you about. The small intestines are savory, chewy, and fatty. The large intestines are fatty but if you let it cook long enough, you can add a satisfying crisp to it giving it a crunchy explosion of fat in your mouth that can be an enjoyable experience as well. And yes that is after you dip it in the Thai chili infused soy sauce dipping sauce they give you which adds a spicy savory bite to the tasteless yet tasty bit of large intestine. The abomasum when cooked like they do here is just another texture journey of chewy and fatty. It's like a cooked rubber texture but soaked in animal fat which is fantastic! The beef heart is savory, hearty, and such a textural difference than everything else. The tripe again, another texture difference. Between these various textures, the side dishes are all acidic which affords you the ability to eat more as the acid of the side dishes cuts through the fattiness that will exhaust your palette... so eat your kimchee and your other sides while here because then you can eat more offal! I ordered the set which costs roughly $60 which when you add tax and tip rounds out to about $80. Which might seem expensive but when you are told that going a la carte means dropping $50 plus tax and tip, you might as well drop the extra $10 for the set. It does feed 2 supposedly but I got it myself and downed all the protein just fine. Working out and making this your post workout meal will afford you the ability to consume a set meal all by yourself without a care in the world! Like I stated before, this place is a bit expensive compared to other offal joints as far as I'm aware of. Another popular place is about $7-$10 cheaper so this place is rather pricey hence the 4-star rating due to how it'll cut the wallet value down. But overall... this place is amazing and worth going to. Just come with a party so you can split the bill or come here with an alleged foodie and make them revoke their "foodie" card because they may not be able to handle this!

We went pretty late on Friday night and there was plenty of seating. The gopchang was really oily and the kimchi fried rice was perfect to cut through it. The cold noodles was a miss. Service was attentive.

Food is not any different from other Gopchang places in the area. Atmosphere is very quiet besides the music, which is not bad. Service person is very expressionless. He was like a robot. Just says "yes" if we asked for something. No smile, no nothing. The only downside is the prices are bit more than other places I've been to. If I'm getting the same amount and same thing, I would rather go to friendlier place and has better server and better price. I just wanted to give this place a try since I've never been to it but I will not be returning from my experience.

Food and service was great. But ooo wee the price. Compared to when we visited Korea and tried all this, meat is cheaper here but the intestines / giblets are more expensive? Maybe this place is considered upscale or giblets are going mainstream and increasing in price like oxtail. But yeah we'd go again
Satisfied each time I come to this place with quality of food and friendly servers

We ordered the assorted grilled gopchang set. The set was good, but small for the price. We ordered 2 sides of rice which weren't included. The side dishes were particularly spicy but cut through the oily feeling of the intestines.

I usually go to Gopchang on Fire (Suwanee), but wanted to give this place a try. The gopchang here just does not have good flavour, maybe the preparation is different? I wasn't too impressed with the sides. I wouldn't come back.
