안심카츠 맛있다는 말을 여태 이해를 잘 못 했었는데 여기서 먹고나서 단번에 알게 됐어요🙂 원랜 등심파였거든요 한 입 먹고 바로 안심파로 바뀔 정도로 너무 맛있었어요😆 왜 이제야 여기를 알았나 싶네요… 진짜 미친맛입니다!!🤪 너무 맛있어요!!😋 시그니처 안심카츠 강추!!👍

I arrived about 10 minutes before dinner opened and asked if I could go in. I was grateful that they readily agreed. They changed the table setting for fear of inconvenience, showed me in detail how to eat, and paid attention to whether I needed anything else during the meal, so I had a pleasant meal! Among the tenderloins I've ever had, the texture was the softest and the juice didn't dry out until I finished eating, so it was worth the wait. It's a bit disappointing that the only side dish was pickles, but the quality and taste of the meat and the friendliness of the owner made me want to visit again. I was vaguely full, so I thought I could even have ramen, but I refrained. I was really debating between ordering a single item or a set, but I'll definitely try the ramen in the near future. Next time, I'll try sitting alone, too. It's easy to find if you take Exit 1 or 9 of Balsan Station and go through the Plaza, Hillstate Eco, and Golden Tower buildings.

It was so delicious that I came back to eat alone! The meat cutlet is very light and soft without any greasiness. Perhaps because of the Gundam and various figures, the interior of the store has a Japanese feel, so it's cute and cozy. There's also a good single eating zone!! It was nice of them to leave a phone holder..🥹 The cheese katsu and ramen were delicious, and the owner was very kind and tsundere-style haha. I'll go again to eat the tenderloin katsu~~ For reference, you have to go by 11:30 a.m. for lunch on weekdays to get a table.

I've been to quite a few places that are said to have good tonkatsu restaurants, but this was the first time I've been to a place where I enjoyed it all the way through without being too dry or greasy. It was nice that they kindly told me how to eat it along with the menu recommendations. 👍 The tenderloin cutlet dipped in salt was especially delicious!! When I came during the day, it was full, so I came back in the evening and it was really good. If you are planning to visit, I recommend going during opening hours or in the evening😊 I really fell in love with the Ansim Katsu here.😍

I visited this pork cutlet restaurant while looking for a good restaurant near Balsan Station, and I was more satisfied than I expected. Perhaps because it is a pork cutlet made from Jeju black pork, the meat is so soft and juicy that I could feel the difference as soon as I took a bite. The batter was crispy and not greasy, so I was able to enjoy it until the end, and the portion was generous, making it a good meal. If you are looking for authentic pork cutlet near Balsan Station, I think this is a place worth visiting at least once. Looking at the table next to me, I saw a lot of people eating ramen and pork cutlet sets. The ramen looked really delicious, so I plan to visit again next time to eat ramen.

There was a wait every time I passed by, so I always passed, but this time I rushed in a little early and had a comfortable meal. I ordered the black pork tenderloin cutlet and it was so soft that it melted in my mouth. People kept saying that it was delicious. It was recommended that I try my first tenderloin with salt, so I did that and it went well. Why is the radish pickle side dish so delicious? It was a delicious and happy meal.

First of all, the owner was so kind and the atmosphere of the store was nice, so I felt like the food tasted even better! 😊 It takes a while for the food to be prepared as instructed, but it was nice that they served it right away as soon as it was ready and I could eat it right away at the right time. The light soup was rich but not greasy, and the chicken breast chashu was moist and had just the right amount of toppings, so I enjoyed it 😄👍

It’s the epitome of what’s on the outside! When it first came out, I was surprised that the portion size seemed quite large, but it was so delicious that I kept going in. Haha. Other tonkatsu restaurants usually serve about 6 pieces of tenderloin, but here, they only serve 8 pieces of tenderloin, so the quantity was different. Plus, because it's Jeju black pork, it's full of juice, but there's no odor, and the texture is soft. Even though it's black pork tonkatsu, it's a great restaurant for this price and the portions are large, so I was really full. I wonder if there's anything missing in between. The owner asked me questions in person and was kind, so I was able to feel the essence of authentic Japanese tonkatsu. I was satisfied with the quantity, taste, and price, so I plan to visit again soon👍

It's chicken broth ramen, but it's not greasy at all and the broth is really clean and deep in flavor! It was my first time trying it because it was completely different from regular ramen, but it was really delicious👍 The owner was friendly and the atmosphere of the store was cozy and pretty, so I liked it even more😃 When you eat ramen, be sure to try the tenderloin cutlet set! The moment you take a bite, you will gasp. A place like this is hidden in an alley like this... It’s a completely hidden restaurant!

It's in an alley near Balsan Station, and it's a great restaurant serving pork cutlets..! Even though it was early lunch time on a weekday, there was a wait and I had to wait, so I got there right on time. I had the katsu and ramen set. It was my first time eating ramen here, and it was the best Tori Paitan ramen I've ever had. The chicken broth had a rich, clean, and slightly creamy feel, but every time I took a bite, it had a slightly spicy flavor and was very delicious. It was really nice that the owner kindly told me to adjust it with red pepper if I wanted it spicier. The egg was cooked just right and the onion flakes were included, so the texture was good. It was Jambon Ham Char Siu, and I couldn't believe how soft the chicken was. It melted in my mouth~⸜(꒪'꒳'꒪)⸝ After I finished eating, I went for a quick walk at the nearby Seoul Botanical Garden~ It was so delicious♡♡♡
