Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 1 (under 60000 KRW, 50 USD) There are many restaurants for Pork Cutlets along the streets of Namsan but this restaurant is known as the originator of it. It has been since 1977 and became more famous through the introduction from many variety shows and broadcast programs. It is comparable to Gana Pork Cutlet in Gangnam. Gana is more beloved by taxi drivers whereas Namsan is beloved by many tourists. Personally, I prefer Gana, but it is addictive that makes me visit Namsan once or twice a year. Prices seem not moderate but the quantity is large. Valet parking is available for comfortable visit.

Get ready to be fed when you dine here Most tourist just eat their pork katsu rice down the street, the shop with better decorations This shop is really meant only for the locals There is no English menu so you have to utilize your Google translate camera function to translate the menu Menu is small and very straightforward, portions are big and guarantee to fill you up This place require quite a walk to reach if you're from myeongdong, there's a lot of uphill walk but well worth the climb My advice : if you can take spicy, order the spicy one...the sauce is nice though quite spicy

This maybe the oldest tonkatsu in the area, but I won't recommend it if you are a foreigner. If you are a Running Man fan, you can find other jumbo tonkatsu restaurants on the same street with better service and they have been visited by Yu Jae Suk, Haha and Kim Jong Kook on other variety shows. The Ahjummas don't really speak English. They stare at you if you look foreign and the whole resturarant atmosphere was awkward at dinner time. Food came out quick, pork was warm not hot, and yes, the size of dish was Jumbo but the actual pork inside the breading was thin, and you get small portion of rice since the pork itself would probably fill you up. They did have fresh radish kimichi and pickled radish for sides. A small cream soup is automatically served upon arrival and soybean paste is available on the table as Koreans usually pair the sauce with their pork. We did not feel comfortable so we only ordered one portion between two people in order to eat as fast as possible and get out. The waitress was definitely not happy with us, no smiles from the start. Definitely don't recommend for foriegners.

Famous for their king size fried pork cutlet. It’s Korean style western food (경양식), so if you’re craving that type of food, this place hits the spot. But it’s nothing extraordinary. There’s a row of restaurants serving the same thing, and this place is apparently one of the best known, which is why it’s always bustling (I went at 9pm on a Sunday and was promptly seated but the place was full, which is rare for the area). But I doubt that there’s any difference in quality/taste. Pro: fast service—food comes out within 5 minutes. They serve chili peppers with pork cutlet, which helps cut down on the fat. Con: Dirty. I had to wipe down the table again myself as well as all the utensils. For the quality, it’s expensive. If you’re in the area, why not.

There are many restaurants in NamSan that sells Donkatsu (pork cutlet). Expect to see lots of people standing outside of each joints trying to get customers. Wang Donkatsu just means they flattened the meat out wider than normal donkatsu (so it is wider but thinner). Cream soup comes out as part of your order and you can ask them to put your sauce on the side. Otherwise, they will just pour sauce over your cutlet. The main entrance has stairs but you can also use elevator if you go through their garage. Not a bad place if you want to try old korean style donkatsu.

Sloppy food. Don't understand that hype, supposed visited by many celebrities and the oldest Tonkatsu there. Low quality fried cutlets to me. 60percent batter 30percent meat. I scooped my spicy sauce and threw it aside. The rude usherers downstairs was also a turn off.
