Daetjjang Donkkaseu
댓짱돈까스 Donkkaseu is the Korean word for tonkatsu, a breaded pork cutlet; the posts give no meaning for 'Daetjjang'.
Compiled from 15 blog posts read in fullSources →
A tonkatsu restaurant in the fifth-floor food court of AK Plaza Hongdae, right by Hongik University Station. It serves tenderloin, loin, fish and chicken cutlets on their own (loin 12,000 won, tenderloin 13,000-14,000 won) or as sets with udon or cold buckwheat noodles (17,000-17,500 won), ordered from a tablet at the table. Most writers stopped in while browsing the mall's pop-ups or Animate. We read 22 posts from December 2024 to September 2026; 17 of them describe actually eating here.

What sets it apart
- Six posts ordered from a tablet or smart-order device at the table. One solo diner was thrown at first by the lack of a kiosk until staff seated them and handed over a tablet; another found the previous table's order still showing on it. One more complained the menu pages kept flipping, making it hard to compare dishes.
- On waiting, posts split three to three. Three waited or saw a line: fourth in line behind three groups on a weekend, people filling the waiting seats as time went on, and a queue outside by the time they left. Three walked straight in: first customer at the 11 a.m. opening, early on a weekend, and a weekday evening. One post mentioned waiting seats.
- Four posts said the coating was crisp. On thickness, one called the meat thick and juicy, while another said it wasn't especially thick but the tenderloin was substantial.
- Four posts called the room spacious, two of them noting generous table spacing and brick walls. Two said it felt calm and quiet enough to talk, despite being inside a busy mall.
1 more
- Four posts came with friends, three with family and two alone. Three brought children; one noted high chairs and another said staff brought a child's spoon.

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
2 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 3 (of 15 posts read) |
|---|
Three posts described going up to the mall's fifth-floor food court. Two said the mall sits right at, or connects directly to, a Hongik University Station exit.
No post said whether there is a step at the entrance or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in. That means we don't know, not that it is impossible.
We don't know about the toilets. One post copied a line saying the building has separate men's and women's restrooms, but no one described using them.
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.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 17 posts we gathered, 2 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- Opinions on price differ: two posts called it cheap or reasonable, one said it was a bit pricey for what it is, and one said it isn't cheap. A set meal runs 17,000-17,500 won; one pair paid 33,500 won for two sets.
- We could not confirm opening hours. The 'daily 11:00-21:00' line was copied by one post from an info block, and the weekday 11:00 / weekend 10:30 times are the mall's hours. One post ran into a break time but did not say when it was.
- No post said whether reservations are taken. Three posts listed the phone number 02-789-9856.
