Tasty. Easy to order. Followed up to see if I wanted more Kimchi. Will return when in area.

We went to Gopchang Story on a Saturday evening and were a little surprised it wasn't more crowded. It was clear, though, that those who were there knew exactly what they came for. There was a strong Korean presence, which always feels like a good sign when you're looking for something authentic and a bit outside the norm. I was especially excited to try gopchang (grilled intestines), and it ended up being both new and oddly familiar. The texture is definitely different, but not off-putting at all. When you think about it, sausage comes from similar ingredients, so it's not as foreign as it might sound. Having had sweetbreads and offals before, some of the flavor notes felt recognizable, which made it easier to appreciate. Other items, like the thin-sliced brisket, were more familiar and just as enjoyable. Everything we had was fresh and well-prepared. The space itself is clean, bright, and welcoming, with K-pop videos playing and a solid selection of Korean drinks like soju and Milkis to round things out. The side dishes were creative and accessible, including corn cheese, steamed eggs, house salad, and japchae noodles. The egg fried rice was excellent as well, and a great complement to the meats. Our group ranged from adventurous to more cautious eaters, and everyone genuinely enjoyed the experience. Cooking at the table took a minute to get used to, but it was part of the fun and easy to pick up. Service was friendly and helpful throughout. The ventilation was very good and not overly smoky, which can sometimes be an issue at Korean BBQ spots. It is a bit on the pricier side, but for a special occasion or a night out to try something new, it felt justified. This works well either as a fun date night or with a small group so you can try a variety of dishes. Even dessert was a highlight, creative and well executed. This is the kind of place that feels like a special night out, and we would absolutely go back. read more

Meat quality is fresh and they offer combo sets. Ordered the beef + pork combo that was $120 to feed 3 people with an order of their black bean noodles too. Banchan was great and you can get refills! Staff was attentive and the space is nice and doesn't get fogged with smoke. read more

Great fun and excellent food! If you want to try K-bbq in RI this is the place. They're also unique from other K-bbq's in that they offer grilled offal (e.g. large and small intestine) in addition to usual kalbi, bulgogi, pork belly, seafood, etc for grilling. They're also unique meats are high quality and generous platters. The complimentary banchan is a little on the skimpy side but they do comprise of 6 or so assorted kimchees and namuls - and free refills of same. We shared a seafood pajeon which was very good. My wife - a non meat eater - had the seafood soup with noodles and it was excellent (she said the noodles were exceptional). My daughters and I partook of the grilled meats and 2 dishes of intestine, a marinated one and a plain). These latter are grilled table-side for you. They were unctuous and slightly chewy - and no gaminess or funkiness, so kudos to their preparation. The standard grilling is done by you unlike in traditional K-bbq like Koreatown in NYC or NJ. (I actually prefer this as it's more fun to me.). Staff and service is excellent and friendly. We'll def be back! read more

I visited Gopchang Story when it first opened and was excited to finally have a Korean BBQ spot in the area. On that first visit, the meat quality was good, though the side dishes were very basic, and the meats were a bit on the sweet side. We also ordered the gopchang tofu stew and steamed egg, which were both very good. Overall, I would've given that first visit 3.5 to 4 stars. When a friend asked to meet for lunch today, I suggested Gopchang Story again. We ordered the prime short rib (no marinade), and the beef quality was good, it's tender and flavorful. I also ordered a beef bulgogi to-go ($24.99 + tax), but I was really disappointed when I ate it at home. The beef was incredibly tough--one of the worst bulgogi I've had, especially surprising given how good the short rib was. For nearly $27, it felt like a letdown. After that bulgogi experience, I may wait a while before going back. read more

I was really dying to try this place for a while. Rhode Island is a bit of a desert when it comes to great Asian food. Could this be the Oasis? Well let's see. The interior and the exterior of the restaurant is very nicely done... plenty of parking as its on a strip mall. The parking lot is a bit odd. There are no stoppers or concrete borders that delineate the parking lot from the side walk. You have to be careful when you are looking for the exit that you dont drive off the sidewalk. Not really a Gopchange story problem but the landlord needs to adddress this. So we booked in advance and were seated in a private room. The menu is relatively extensive. They have a pretty good selection of Korean items. Nice combo deals for beef and pork are present. The cow intestines of course is on the menu as the name of the restaurant implies. We ordered combo #2 and one order of the small intestine. Our family likes to try the seafood pancake at all the Korean restaurants for a good comparison. The seafood pancake was great. Nice crispy outside . Meat quality also was pretty good. The amount given was a tad bit small compared to other spots I have been to. It was pretty much grill your self. The gopchang (cow intestines) was okay. I have had it before and I like the consistency of it but I didnt really like how it came out for a 1serving portion. It was just basically drowned out in butter and a bit too heavy. The biggest negative was the service. The servers were nowhere in sight for much of the meal. And no bowls of rice are included in the meal. Which is a first for a Korean BBQ for me. So while Gopchang Story was a decent meal none of my family thought it was worthy of a return trip. Yes they are a tough crowd. I would make a return trip to give the place one more try. But I was disappointed overall that the Yelp and Google ratings of this place didnt match my experience. read more

SO happy we have a Korean BBQ spot close to home with great quality meat! No more venturing out to Boston. Been here two times so far and everything was superb from service, friendly staff, sweet owner, and delicious, delicious food! My favorite is the prime rib eye and the marinated special seasoning short rib. Goes well when you turn it into a ssam with all the unlimited side dishes they give you along with the lettuce, obviously. I also love the steamed egg. It's light and cute like a soufflé but you have to eat it hot. Their dumplings were delicious as well. We ordered the large beef platter for 2 but had a party of three and it was def more than enough food. I asked the owner if he's going to have some karaoke rooms and he said he's working on it. But not sure if he was just joking. :) read more

Finally, good quality k-bbq has arrived to Rhode Island. The servers are very attentive and can grill your meats and serve the stews for you. For 5 of us, we ordered the special beef combo and spicy beef brisket stew and it was the perfect amount of food. Everything tasted authentic and delicious as well. The inside is clean and spacious with k-pop playing in the background. The ventilation here is also amazing, you won't even smell like food after. I recommend! read more

Run, don't walk to Gopchang Story! My favorite Korean restaurant was located in Ayer, MA but Gopchang Story has it beat! The restaurant is really cool with a great atmosphere and fantastic staff. We were a little overwhelmed by the menu but the service team was quick to explain it and offer recommendations. We ordered the egg fried rice, fried dumplings, Bibimbap, and a large order of Bulgogi. The fried rice was superb and our favorite, not greasy, light on the soy sauce, lots of fresh vegetables, it was perfect! The Bibimbap was well done, so many layers of flavor, we devoured it quickly. The Bulgogi was a perfect blend of broth, vegetables, noodles, and thin tender beef- amazing! The service team was helpful, friendly, and quick, we were very impressed. Highly Recommend! read more

Headed over on a Thursday night for dinner with the family. Was worried about getting a table but the place was empty. Sad, because it's really good. Tough location to get in and out of, but got to give it a try! Typical Korean BBQ set up, order angry of meat and they cook it for you in the center of the table. We ordered the beef special platter with marinated meat. Added shrimp as well. Meats were delicious and cooked perfectly by our host. Everyone had rice and all the sides that come with a typical Korean bbq. We had a bottle of green grape rice wine that was delicious as well Everything was delicious, the food was good and the service friendly and attentive It's nice inside, clean and spacious. Didn't get smoky like many of these places do. By the time we left 2 other tables were occupied, but we need to keep this place going! It's great! read more

I've been to Gopchang Story twice - one during their soft opening and one on a weekday night. It's a pretty spacious location - good for small groups. Expect to pay a bit more than your usual KBBQ spot because everything is a la carte. They give a good amount of different banchans, usually used as palette cleansers in between each bite. I like to order the large intestines and cook it enough so it becomes crispy. The marinade is delicious. We also ordered pork belly which was good as well. I think the service is hit or miss. I prefer cooking my own meal, but sometimes the servers just cook for you, which creates an awkward atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to try if you like intestines. read more

My experience here was satisfying~ tteoboki was spicy and freshly hot and flavorful. You definitely need a side to calm the kick of the heat. Sides were a good variety and given at your table. My partner and I were seated promptly since it wasn't busy today. The whole place was clean, very stylish and built for a good drinking and food restaurant for groups~ my partner ordered the mix of gui which is different types of intestines. Usually I'm not a fan because of the texture. The meat was very flavorful, savory, and delicious! Still not a fan of the meat texture but I was able to be ok because the crispy outside meat flavor was excellent. Service was prompt and we were checked up on often. My only complaint was how awkward it was for the staff. There are new staff, who seem to be in training, and when our meats arrived, I thought it was good to eat. But a more seasoned worker apologized and started the grill and cooked the rest of the meat for us it WAS cooked, but I felt silly eating it not know it was suppose to be added to the grill. It was just confusing and awkward because the new staff was called over and told how to properly set our skillet of meat on the grill and fully cook it. They only noticed because we started to take some small pieces of meat thinking that's how it was served. The meat does come partially cooked! It just added to the grill to fully crisp up and stay hot. It seemed like staff was also talked too, near/in front of us, to give us more water or spoons. I don't mind new staff, but I definitely felt awkward. I need to come again and give it another try with other meat selections! This is on the pricer end but worth the taste and value for a date night read more

Rating: 4.0 New Korean restaurant opened up in a plaza near my area so I decided to try it after a while. It's a Korean restaurant based on beef intestines BBQ which are rare around the area. Since it's on a plaza the parkings are available. Inside the place is spacious and playing K pop in the back ground with music video on a large screen which is pretty typical of Korean restaurant. It wasn't too busy so we were sat down immediately. The menu is extensive and they offer some typical Korean dishes like bibimbap, tteokbokki, kimchi soup, regular cuts of meat for BBQ as well as beef tartar, goochang and gui. They also provide alcoholic drinks. We ended up getting gopchang tteokbokki, tripe and goochang fried rice, and marinated assorted gui so we can try out their main offerings. They start you off with small side dishes of some kimchi, potato salad, pickled radish and such. They were all pretty good. Then comes the main dishes. Fried rice was pretty good and full of gochujang flavor and had some egg that you can mix up around the mount of fried rice. Tteokbokki was pretty standard. Sweet and spicy with fish cakes and rice cake mixed with the gopchang. The marinated assorted gui was very tasty. Sweet, savory and spicy. Intestines are very chewy and fatty. I think it's niche and not everyone likes the texture but those that do will love it. Personally i'm not too crazy about intestines but it was still enjoyable. The service was generally good but seems like the server was still pretty new and forgot to set up the marinated assorted gui on the grill and heat it up prior to eating among few other things like forgetting utensils and pen for the check. Who looks like the owner or manager older Korean lady was scolding the staff which was a bit awkward to look at. The older lady was very nice to us and kind of reminded me of typical asian mother. The prices were definitely on the higher side. Overall the place was good and I enjoyed the food but I don't know if I liked gopchang enough to order again as it's a bit difficult to eat especially in a-lot of portion and I think I prefer regular meat. Down side is that the price was on the higher side and probably needs some more time to train their staff. Since it's close I would return and try other options in the menu. read more

This place is amazing! First time trying gopchang story franchise and was hesitant at first because i dont like gopchang but was shocked they had so much more to offer other than gopchang. It was a legit korean bbq w quality meat. Their kalbi was so so good even my kids that dont love meat was obsessed. The meat was tender and soft w perfect amount of sweet marinade. The place gives wide range of small side dishes that were also very authentic and freshly made. Their steam egg and side dwenjanjjigae was delicious as well. The staff is very attentive to the meat while cooking and they were very prompt about switching out the grill. We love the cold noodles at the end it was refreshing yet savory w nice portions. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic korean bbq experience. They have private rooms in the back for larger parties, ample amount of parking and extra plus was they had many high chairs. read more

I've been watching this place and waiting for it to open. I finally went. I was absolutely not disappointed. The staff is so friendly. The setup is comfortable and spacious. It's a limited drink menu but decent. The food was just amazing. It tasted fresh. The flavor was on point. They bring complimentary sides which were also well worth it. Honestly I think this was the best waitstaff I've ever encountered anywhere. That coupled with the food is more than enough reason to go back. Plus I'm dying to try more from the menu. Oh and pricing was reasonable as well. read more

I didn't realize there was a gopchang story in Rhode Island, so I wanted to go as soon as I found out about it. It's in kind of an odd area near the airport, and was a bit smaller than I expected. My friend and I got the beef platter, which was the perfect amount for the two of us. The meat was good quality, and probably the best kbbq I've had in Rhode Island (though there's not much kbbq here in general). The banchan was also delicious, and we got a complimentary soup! I'll definitely go back when I'm craving kbbq read more

We got 4 premium meal options. Arrived around 4 so seating was quick and easy. Food came quickly too and the staff were super nice, we had all our food replenished fast. Wasn't a big fan of the miso soup which was too salty, or the sesame sauce which tasted a little bland, but the quality and amount of variety for a buffet was really nice. Great place for buffet! read more

Gopchang Story makes me feel as if I'm in Boston, ATL, SoCal, NYC, etc where such asian restaurants exist. The restaurant has a large TV screen with K-pop playing in the background. It's spacious, clean, and has good ventilation. Service is excellent. There is a large number of staff who can either cook for you, or if you prefer it, you can cook yourself. The menu is large and will satisfy any customer. You have the option of beef intestines, hot pot, KBBQ, and plenty of other well known Korean dishes. While the set menu for the KBBQ can be pricey, it is very reasonable and comparable to similar restaurants in the previously mentioned cities. The quality of the meat is excellent. I had the large beef platter with my partner and we left very stuffed. For an additional cost, usual favorite side dishes of steamed egg and corn cheese are available as well. I didn't have the corn cheese, but I highly recommend the steamed egg. Now that we have two very different, but excellent options for KBBQ in Rhode Island, there is no longer any reason to take the long drive to Boston where you will pay a hefty price for parking as well! My wallet is certainly in trouble as I will be a frequent customer at this restaurant. read more

Gopchang Story - Sides, fried dumplings, and chicken! - Korean Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

We had a really good lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Natalie, our waitress, was excellent explaining our questions on the menu. The set up of the menu itself was a little unclear between the meals for 2 and singles...but Natalie explained everything and her friendliness added value to our visit. The quality of each of the shared dished we had was very good. I ordered a seperate spicy pork dish and it was average for the price...with a smaller portion than I expected. It was good, but expected a little more spice. With the waitstaff cooking some of the dishes at the table, it's a fun communal dining experience and some nice complimentary apps brought to the table before the meal. I liked the place and will return. read more

Gopchang Story offers a trendy and casual dining experience, unlike any other in Rhode Island. They specialize in grilled beef intestines, but if that's not your thing they also serve some of the most luscious cuts of meat and the best Korean fare. We started with the a delicious Beef Tartare, served icy cold with Asian pear and raw egg, Crisp Seafood Pancake, Delectable Egg Custard, Japchae, and Spicy Beef Stew, along with kimchi and an assortment of light and bright banchan. For Barbecue we opted for the large Beef platter, which consisted of Marinated Short Rib Prime Ribeye, Brisket, and Seasoned short Rib, all expertly grilled at the table by our wonderful server Mimi, the seasoned short ribs were off the charts, reminded me of the signature Galbi at Kote NYC. Friendly staff, Fun dining room, the best Korean food in the state! read more
