About
Casual Japanese eatery on the second floor of Homeplus Yeongdeungpo serving tender hirekatsu, ramen, and savory rice bowls.
Tucked inside the second-floor restaurant arcade of the Yeongdeungpo Homeplus, just steps from Mullae Station’s Exit 4, Menya Muteki serves as a dependable pit stop for local office workers on tight lunch breaks. The dining room offers ample seating across an understated layout, where tables come equipped with pepper shakers, water cups, and cutlery tucked into side drawers. Operating in the straightforward manner of an everyday department store eatery, orders arrive quickly—often within ten minutes—alongside standard sides of yellow pickled radish and baechu kimchi. The kitchen casts a wide net across Japanese-style staples, balancing ramyeon, donburi, udon, and soba against crisp fried cutlets. The hirekatsu (pork tenderloin cutlet) anchors much of the menu, arriving in two sliced cutlets paired with white rice, tonkatsu dipping sauce, and a fresh salad tossed in a bright yuja dressing. The pork retains a lean, tender bite with an earthy meatiness, encased in a distinctly thick, deeply crisp crumb that leans coarse enough to demand cautious eating. For warmer afternoons, diners frequently pair the cutlet with a chilled mini soba. Those leaning toward rice bowls often opt for the kimchi cheese katsudon, an indulgent bowl layering cutlets beneath melted cheese and spicy kimchi when a sharper, more punchy craving hits. Noodle options span classic tonkotsu bases to Nagasaki jjamppong, which is available in both mild and spicy variations. The pale, pork-bone-based broth of the Nagasaki jjamppong carries a smoky trace of the wok without settling too heavily on the palate, finished with a noticeably savory, salty edge. While its hyper-convenient hypermarket address keeps things casual and low-key, Menya Muteki provides generous portions and reliable, fuss-free comfort food for neighborhood midday routines.
