Compiled from 4 blog posts read in fullSources →
A Japanese tonkatsu restaurant on the GF level of Lotte Mall at Gimpo Airport, on the same floor as Lotte Mart. Cutlet sets with rice and miso soup run from 15,000 to 23,000 won; the tenderloin set was 18,000 won in both posts that ordered it. One post ordered on a tablet. We read 4 posts from July to September 2026, and all 4 describe an actual visit.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- All four posts say the seating is roomy. Two mention sofa seating, and one couple was seated at a table they reckoned could take six.
- Three posts say high chairs are available. One family says they come often with their child, and another post noticed many diners with children. There is a separate children's set.
- Three posts describe the tenderloin as juicy and moist and the meat as thick; two noticed a slightly pink center. Two said it was not greasy.
- One post says there is a queue at mealtimes and waited about ten minutes. Another arrived just after the weekday lunch rush, nearly had to queue, but was seated right away.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | 1 of 4 posts |
|---|
One post warns that 'GF' is really the second basement level, and says that coming in through the Gimpo Airport subway passage puts you on the same floor.
No one mentioned steps at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. It sits inside a mall, but we simply don't know.
No post says where the restrooms are or whether they are separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

What we do not know
- On price, two posts called it normal or reasonable. Beyond a set costing 15,000 to 23,000 won, no one weighed the value further.
- Opening hours appear in three posts, all copied into a header block: two give 10:30-22:00 daily with last order at 21:00, one gives 10:30-21:00. Two posts share the same template (a header of hours and parking, then a long hashtag list), though neither discloses sponsorship.
- Two posts came as a couple and one as a family with a child. None came with friends, in a group, or alone.
- Three posts list the phone number 0507-1386-9023, but none says whether reservations are taken.
