About this spot
This tonkatsu specialist elevates the Japanese comfort food with impossibly crispy panko crusts and perfectly tender pork cutlets. The katsu here is thick-cut and juicy, served alongside freshly shredded cabbage and house-made tonkatsu sauce. Lines form during lunch hours as both office workers and tonkatsu enthusiasts seek out what many consider Seoul's finest version.
💡 Tips before you go
- Arrive before 11:30am or after 2pm to avoid the lunch rush
- The rosu katsu (pork loin) is their signature - don't miss it
- Free cabbage refills are standard, so eat up
