About
Crisp handmade pork cutlets and demi-glace omurice in an old-fashioned neighbourhood diner with signed walls.
The demi-tonkatsu omurice (데미돈까스오므라이스) puts a breaded cutlet and omelette rice on one plate, with rich, savoury demi-glace tying them together. It is a practical choice when you want both rather than having to choose between rice and a cutlet. The room has an old-fashioned neighbourhood-diner feel, with celebrity signatures covering the walls; in mild weather, there is also outdoor terrace seating. The house Myeongdong Wang Donkasseu is the straightforward order: its handmade pork cutlet is described as juicy and tender beneath a crisp coating. The medium is ₩9,500, and the large is ₩11,000; the extra-large is ₩13,000 for a bigger appetite. For something richer, the cheese cutlet (치즈돈까스) has mozzarella inside; try the suggested mix of mustard and tonkatsu sauce. It costs ₩11,000 for medium or ₩13,000 for large. Pickled chili and kkakdugi are served alongside, a sharp, crunchy counterpoint to the fried coating. The restaurant opens daily from 11:30 to 22:00. Lunch brings office workers and nearby residents, and a wait can form at peak time, so arrive before the rush if you are in a hurry. Tonkatsu sauce and salad dressing are on the tables for self-service, and reviewers mention attentive staff and refills. Parking is limited, so public transport is the more sensible option; delivery is also available. This suits a solo lunch, a casual meal with friends, or a family stop, especially if you want a familiar, filling cutlet-and-rice combination rather than a polished dining-room experience. Reviews differ on portion size, and a few report uneven cooking or meat quality, so expectations should stay practical. The long-running local-diner character is part of the appeal, but the food can be ordinary on a less successful visit.
