Jagalchi Market and Grilled Beef Offal in Busan
Explore Jagalchi Market from Metro Line 1, then choose salt-grilled or seasoned offal at Baekhwa Yanggopchang.
Browse the market, then eat
- Start at Jagalchi Market and choose the outdoor lanes or the indoor market building according to access that day.
- Continue through the Jagalchi-ro area toward Jagalchi-ro 23beon-gil.
- Find Baekhwa Yanggopchang (백화양곱창) at number 6. Confirm which numbered counter can seat the group before settling in.
Arrive on Metro Line 1
Visit Busan lists Nampo Station Exit 2 and Jagalchi Station Exit 10 as approaches to Jagalchi Market (자갈치시장). This plan stays in the market and Nampo area, making it a useful meal stop during a central Busan visit.
Decide whether offal suits the meal
Yanggopchang refers to beef stomach and intestines grilled over briquettes. Salt-grilled pieces emphasize the meat and fat; the seasoned version adds a sweet, spicy red coating. Fried rice can follow the grill order. This is a close-counter meal with smoke and cooking smells, so it works best for diners comfortable with offal and compact seating.
Check the building and the counter separately
The restaurant consists of several independently operated counters. Opening hours, reservations and seats can differ between them. Visit Busan distinguishes the outdoor traditional market from the indoor modern market, so an indoor closure does not describe every street stall. If the building is closed, shorten the sightseeing to the surrounding Nampo streets. In rain, prioritize an open indoor stop and keep the exposed market walk brief.
