About this spot
In the heart of Hongdae, Cochon Tonkatsu serves thick-cut pork cutlets that are fried until golden and then glazed with a sweet, savory sauce that clings perfectly to the meat. The atmosphere is lively and casual, perfect for grabbing a quick bite after exploring the neighborhood's street art and shops. Don't skip the side of pickled radish or the house-made tonkatsu sauce to dip your cutlet in before eating.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the 'Chanko' set if you want a hearty meal with miso soup and rice included.
- The pork belly cutlet is often juicier than the standard loin, so ask for that if you prefer extra fat.
- Bring cash or have KakaoPay ready, as some smaller spots in Hongdae may not accept foreign credit cards.
