About
Cozy Japanese home-style eatery near Kyung Hee University serving tidy set meals with chicken nanban and mille-feuille cheese tonkatsu.
Tucked along an alley just off Kyung Hee University’s main gate, Kitchen Yoroshiku serves homestyle Japanese set meals that draw steady lines of students and solo diners. The dining room is compact and unassuming, decorated with charming knick-knacks and small tables that lend it a quiet, domestic atmosphere. Self-serve stations offer cold barley tea alongside lemon water, underscoring the casual, self-contained rhythm of the space. Each meal arrives arranged on individual wooden trays, neatly compartmentalized with white rice, miso soup, pickled radish, and a green salad dressed in deeply roasted sesame sauce. The small side dishes receive just as much care as the entrées: a soft rolled omelet stamped with a rabbit motif, fried tofu bathed in a sweet, savory sauce and topped with fluttering bonito flakes, and a tart, translucent plum pudding to close the meal. The kitchen’s signature is the chicken nanban. Rather than chasing crunch, the tender fried chicken pieces absorb a savory glaze, completely blanketed in a house-made, creamy tartar sauce that creates a rich, comforting profile meant to be eaten over hot rice. Another mainstay is the mille-feuille cheese tonkatsu, which layers thinly sliced pork with crisp onions around a generous molten center that stretches effortlessly when cut. Classic chicken karaage provides a lighter fried alternative, featuring tender meat inside a delicate, thin batter served with sweet chili sauce and fresh lemon wedges. For those craving fish, the sake-dong layers tender slices of well-cured salmon over seasoned rice, though lunch patrons regularly exhaust daily portions of salmon and shogayaki by early afternoon. Because seating is limited and lecture breaks trigger sudden lunch rushes, an early arrival is the surest route to securing a tray.
