I stopped by while passing by and it looks like it's already a good restaurant! Ramen Jijja Maddori. The cheese katsu is as good as any tonkatsu place! I thought only ramen would be delicious, but the tonkatsu restaurant is also delicious. Good luck

It was my first time eating pork mahok, and it was delicious even though it had a lot of fat. I went to Yeondon in Jeju a while ago, and this place seems to be better. However, the ramen is a bit salty. Luckily, I went in right away without having to wait. Next time, I'll try regular pork cutlet.

It's a cozy interior with a romantic Japanese feel. It's been a while since I've been here, and it looks like the inside of the store has been remodeled?! Anyway, it was nice that it was neat. Instead, the texture of the cabbage salad was a little too salty and a bit annoying, so I was a little disappointed with the requirement. The pork cutlet, the rest of the side dishes, and the soup were all delicious. Also, unless you are confident in spicy food, it would be better to not put up with the curry and eat a mild flavor.

I live in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do. I came here by chance while on an outing in Seoul, and the owner was friendly and the quiet and clean atmosphere made me feel calm even before the meal. I should have posted a picture before I ate it, but I was so absorbed in just tasting the soft tonkatsu and char siu that I took a picture only after I finished eating it. The portion size was good enough that I was reasonably full after eating both the individual items and the set. I'm a big person and eat a lot, but it's not enough. Haha, if you're worried after searching, I recommend giving it a try.^#

It was close to my house, so I went during business hours, so I was able to dine right away without a reservation. The interior was comfortable with a calm, not-so-excessive interior, and the staff was friendly. I added char siu (2p) with a Naver coupon, and I was full just by eating the standard ingredients. I ordered spicy, but I think it's a couple of levels lower by Shin Ramyun standards, so it's possible to get spicy food. So, I added a couple of coats of chili oil before eating, and the spiciness increased a little. It was a good value for the price. I think

I was looking for Japanese pork cutlet because I wanted to eat it, but I was glad that the places I came across weren't bad overall. Personally, I like the pork cutlet meat to be firm, but this one is really, really soft. One thing that was disappointing was that I saw the staff wearing latex gloves while touching their hair while eating, but other than that, it wasn't bad overall.

Among the foods, I like tonkotsu ramen the most. It tastes the closest to the ramen you eat in Japan. The noodles are chewy and the broth is thick and delicious because it is homemade. The chashu is also delicious and there is nothing missing. I have only recently found out about this restaurant, but I have already visited it more than 10 times. I highly recommend it!!

I visited because I wanted to eat Japanese ramen😊 There were tablets at each table, so ordering was easy! If you wanted to eat ramen and tonkatsu together, it was nice to have a set menu for one person👏🏻 I ordered Mazesoba, Karaguchi Ramen, and Tonmahawk, and I enjoyed them all!👍🏻 For me, Mazesoba was the most delicious! The chashu that went into the ramen was thick and delicious, and the pork mahok meat was large and thick, so it had a good chew 😍 I think I'll remember this when I want to eat ramen! The staff were friendly and we had a pleasant dinner :)

I'm a resident of Ssangmun-dong, and this is the first restaurant I've been to! 🍅 I like it because the portion is large and the broth is rich! In other places, the soup is either too salty or too clear, but I found a middle ground! 🍅 Please add two pieces of meat each! It was disappointing to only have one, but I felt better after finding one more haha ​​🍅 The cheese cutlet was crispy, but I wondered why this was my first time experiencing this type of texture! Even though it is a small store, I went to Japan for a while haha. Thank you~~ 😊
