Samojib is the place the film Burning introduced as having the best gopchang jeongol (beef intestine hot pot) in Seoul. It was a great place to begin with, of course..

The front door

I’d been meaning to go ever since I saw the film, and it turns out it’s right next to Musuok. I picked some up to go on the way home.

Inside

This kind of vibe..

Takeout..

I’m curious about the grilled gopchang too; I’d like to come back with a group.

The contents

They pack it very generously.

Put in the ingredients..

Let it come to a good boil and

you get a gopchang jeongol with a wonderfully refreshing broth. The first time I boiled it the gopchang was a bit chewy, but from the second round on a rich, deep broth came out. It has every right to be in the conversation for the best in Seoul.
