About

Thick, tender loin cutlet with a crisp coating, cabbage and refillable sauces at an Euljiro weekday lunch spot.

The cutlet here is built around contrast: a thick, tender loin under a light, bread-like crust that stays crisp as you work through it. Bujja Donkkaseu’s namesake 부자돈까스 is the straightforward order, and at ₩10,000 it is described as a generous portion for the price. The coating gives a clean crunch, while the meat stays juicy; sesame, tonkatsu and mustard sauces let you change the balance from bite to bite. For something richer, the 치즈돈까스 (cheese cutlet, ₩13,000) is a thinner cutlet packed with cheese. Eat it while it is hot, before the filling cools and firms up; reviewers find it filling and greasy if eaten on its own. The menu also includes fish cutlet, curry rice and curry cutlet, with the curry described as deep and rich. Cabbage and salad come alongside, and sauces and cabbage are available for refills. There is a self-serve rice bar. This is a weekday lunch room for nearby office workers, but solo diners, families and small groups also come. The interior is described as clean and comfortable, with plenty of seats. Food comes quickly once you order, and staff can explain the menu. The practical snag is the queue: it forms around 11:30 and later, and some visitors report a long dinner wait too. Queue and seating arrangements can feel disorganized, especially if you are dining alone and need a two-person table. Bujja Donkkaseu is open Monday through Friday, 10:30–20:30, and closed Saturday and Sunday. Come before the lunch rush if you can; otherwise, expect some uncertainty at the door. It suits anyone after a substantial, crisp cutlet lunch, though summer visitors have complained that the room gets hot.
