“Pyongyang House†has remained in place since 1973. It is a long-established restaurant representing Yongsan, and specializes in special parts of beef, such as offal, backbone, kidneys, heart pain, and sheep. The signature menu “offal†sells offal delivered on the same day on the principle that it is sold out on the same day. The offal, which is grilled on a custom-made rebar grill without fat, is less felt and has a more light flavor, so you can eat it without getting bitten. The “visceral gomguk soup,†which contains offal and boiled rice in a broth based on beef bone broth, is also a popular menu. Note that you can only order gomguk soup with rich broth and hearty entrails until 5 p.m. on weekdays and 8 p.m. on weekends.

â–²Testimonial (Shikigin Green Apple Pencil): I've tried all of the famous dishes, such as grilled beef giblets, marbled meat, and gomguk soup, and I can see why they are famous. The exterior of the store was completely pointless, but the inside was cleaner than I expected, which was even better. ^^

“Busan Yanggopchang†is a place that is loved by many people in the food alley, as well as being full of seats as soon as the store opens. When you order food, plenty of side dishes such as raw liver, tempura leaves, green onion kimchi, and sake soup are served. The signature menu is “beef offal,†which comes with marbled and grilled offal. When the grill heats up, the boss cuts the offal so it's easy to eat and grills it himself, so you can have a more comfortable meal. The offal that slowly ripens on a charcoal grill has an excellent combination of savory flavor and a gentle aroma of fire. The method of putting green onion kimchi on charcoal-flavored beef offal and eating it in one bite is also popular. The crispy green onion kimchi captures the fatty flavor of the offal and adds umami.

It's fun to alternate between eating giblets, which have savory offal that bursts out every time you chew them, and oversized ones that fill your mouth with a rich flavor. After you've finished eating grilled offal, “gibberjack fried rice,†which consists of putting a fried egg on top of fried rice made by adding kimchi and seaweed powder to rice, is also a must-try delicacy. If you like, you can stir fry the leek sauce provided as a side dish and eat it together.

“Food Yanggibchang†is a place known as a regular restaurant for celebrities and made a name for itself. The interior of the store, filled with red letters on a yellow background and graffiti from customers who have been there, creates a nostalgic atmosphere. The signature menu is “grilled offal,†which is thick and has a thick layer full enough to slip slightly out. The browned giblets can be eaten with a variety of side dishes and sauces, from white kimchi to pickled lettuce, miso sauce, mustard sauce, etc. In particular, white kimchi, which has a sour flavor, suppresses the fatty flavor of offal that can be felt and plays a strong role in refreshing the aftertaste. The combination of grilling white kimchi and wrapping it in offal is also very popular.

▲Opening hours: 17:00 — 23:00 every day, closed on Sundays
â–²Price: Assorted plate (medium) 65,000 won, special rice 20,000 won
â–²Review (Thanks to Shikigin Chocolatey): I like the clean feel of a store rather than a long-established store, but it was just my style. Of the offal I ate, the offal had the most giblets, and it was a bit expensive, but it wasn't a waste of money because it was worth it.
