“For the price, the portion is reasonable but the food is incredibly oily. Side dishes are super small so they’re always constantly taking away the side dishes away while eating. I’ve been to many places for gopchang and I understand that it is naturally oily, but the grease is unfathomable, to the point you don’t want to eat it. The stew is 100% better and is so good! The corn cheese was flavorless.. first time leaving a corn cheese empty.”
“I was really lucky. I was grabbing a hamburger lunch and ran into this place and saw their menu. Took my wife here and we had a most fantastic Korean lunch. Authenticity was off the charts and portions were terrific Great service by our server also The ambience is outstanding because it is on the second floor and you are overlooking street. My favorite are the Short Ribs Galbi, Cold Spicy noodles and corn cheese! Wow!”
“Such an incredible and comfy spot to come have lunch/dinner at! Their soybean paste stew is delicious! And the server, Nomi, was SO nice to me and attentive! 100% recommend this place!”
“We had a girls’ night out here back in December, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. TJ was our server and truly made the night with exceptional service - he was super attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious. We ordered the Ultra Galbi & Sogogi set and everything was incredibly flavorful, high quality, and perfectly cooked. From the service to the food, this place exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Gopchang Story Korean BBQ and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Came here on a whim to check ot out and was not disappointed. From the cool view from the second floor to the awesome taste and presentation it was phenomenal. Good portions and the staff was very attentive/friendly. If in the area definitely try!”
“We had the best meal at Gopchang story. We came here to celebrate a family event and the food and service surpassed our expectations. We will 100% be returning again here soon!”
“Fun and delicious Korean BBQ place. Great selection of beef, pork and condiments. Lots of food served for 2 people with fair price.”
“음식이 깔끔하고 맛있었어요. 곱창셋트를 주문했는데, side로 나온 양곱창무침과 부추무침, 콘치즈도 맛있었어요. Wine selection 도 좋다고 느꼈습니다. 실내도 깔끔하고 분위기도 좋았어요. 다시 방문하고싶은 곳입니다.”
“Phenomenal. I lived in South Korea for over a decade and, since moving back to the USA, have really missed gopchang. This place has a lovely menu, great service, and an authentic atmosphere. We had a great time, a great meal, and hope someday to return.”
“The decor is simple yet incredibly cozy. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the building—just go through the door on the right side outside the first-floor restaurant, and you can take either the elevator or the stairs. The whole place is spotless, well-organized, and beautifully modern in color and style. It’s perfect for family gatherings, friends, or couples. There’s plenty of seating, and if you enjoy a view, you can choose a spot by the window. The ventilation is excellent—no smoke or greasy smell at all during the BBQ! Their grill setup is completely different from anywhere else I’ve been. Instead of the usual bulky BBQ pan, they use a sleek, flat, heat-resistant surface that saves space and lets you comfortably fit plenty of dishes on the table. I absolutely love this design! We ordered the $64.99 Everyday Special Set, which was perfect for the three of us. It allowed us to try a wide variety of sausages, cold noodles, and fried rice—everything was delicious and plentiful. What made the experience even better was the lady who I believe is the owner. She was so kind and attentive—helping us grill and cut the sausages perfectly. Everything she cooked turned out so tasty, and the bite-size pieces made it easy to enjoy. Her service was truly exceptional! We couldn’t finish everything because the portions were generous, but I can confidently say this is a place worth coming back to again and again. There are so many great dishes to try—you’ll never get tired of it!”
