Gopchang in Myeong-dong, ranked by what Koreans pay

Local Rank is an independent guide that ranks restaurants in Korea by what Koreans actually spent there by card. This page covers Gopchang places in Myeong-dong (명동), Seoul. Seoul's busiest shopping streets. As of 10 November 2026, the top 3 by last month's card spending are Dadonghwangso Makchang (다동황소막창, Gopchang (grilled tripe), top 25% in Jung-gu), Segwangyangdaechang Euljiro Branch (세광양대창 을지로점, Gopchang (grilled tripe), top 32.9% in Jung-gu) and Gunjadaehan Gopchang Myeongdong Branch (군자대한곱창 명동점, Gopchang (grilled tripe), top 35.5% in Jung-gu). The order comes from BC Card payment data published through eat.pl, so it shows where local cardholders really pay rather than reviews, star ratings or advertising. Big chains are left out. The % is a place's position among all places in Jung-gu: top 1% means only 1 in 100 took in more. Each place links to its eat.pl page with the map, opening hours and busy times.

How this ranking works

Koreans pay for most meals by card. Local Rank takes the card payment ranking that BC Card publishes through eat.pl and lists restaurants by how much was spent there last month. Nobody can pay to appear, and reviews play no part.

Big chains, cafés and bars are left out of the restaurant lists. Cafés and pubs have lists of their own.

Each place links to its page on eat.pl, which shows the map, opening hours and busy times. That page is in Korean; Chrome and Safari can translate it.

Local Rank is an independent guide and is not affiliated with or endorsed by BC Card.
