A small cutlet-and-donburi shop on the ground floor of an alley off Achasan-ro 7-gil, north of Seongsu Station. The menu is a house-made pork loin cutlet (11,000 won in 2026), cutlet, fried-shrimp and salmon rice bowls (salmon 15,000 won), plus udon, cold buckwheat noodles and curry, with a small udon or buckwheat add-on for a couple of thousand won. Kimchi, pickled radish and wasabi sit on every table. Posts describe a lunch spot for nearby office workers. We read 19 posts from November 2024 to August 2026; 2 were about the pork-soup shop next door and were set aside, 1 only repeated listing information, and 16 describe actual visits.

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
- Crispness comes up most: 10 of the 16 visit posts call the frying crisp, one describing an audible crunch on the first bite. Two posts say the cutlet came straight from the fryer and two that food arrived quickly. One diner found the cutlet in the katsudon completely soggy from the sauce.
- There is a lunchtime queue. Three posts waited or warned of a long wait, one walked straight in at 12:30 on a Friday, and one arrived just after opening to find it nearly full. One post mentions waiting chairs outside. A November 2024 post says there is no sign-up list — you wait in order — and that pairs are seated only at two-person tables, so a group of three or four behind them was seated first at a free four-top.
- Most posts find the portions generous: four say so, one describing the cabbage salad swapped in for rice as heaped like a mountain. One post warns it may be small for a grown man and suggests adding the udon set. One found the rice bowl tiny; another called the rice amount just right.
- Six posts called it easy on the wallet and none called it expensive. In 2026 a meal is about 11,000 won for the cutlet or 10,000-15,000 won for a rice bowl, plus 2,000-3,500 won for a noodle add-on.

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
3 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 14 posts read) |
|---|
One post notes it sits on the ground floor of the alley; no other post mentions floors.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller can get in — no post mentions it either way.
We don't know about the toilet. One post's copied info block says it is outside the shop, but no one wrote about using it.
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 15 posts we gathered, 1 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
- Prices have gone up. In 2025 posts the cutlet was 9,500 won, the salmon bowl 14,000 and the katsudon 10,000; from May 2026 they are 11,000, 15,000 and 11,000. A regular recalls the cutlet at 8,500 won. The buckwheat add-on is listed as 3,500 won in May 2025 and 3,000 won in August 2026.
- Opinions differ on thickness: one post calls the loin thick, another says it is not a particularly thick cutlet.
- You walk from Seongsu Station exit 1. Three posts walked from the station; two found it rather far. The '6-minute walk' and '404 m' figures are copied listing data, so we did not count them.
- Opening hours: eight posts from November 2024 to May 2026 agree on weekdays 11:30-21:00 with a 15:00-17:30 break, Saturdays 11:30-15:00, closed Sundays. One August 2026 post gives 11:30-20:00 with a 14:30-17:30 break and last order 19:30; we can't tell whether the hours changed. Most of these are copied listings.
- Four posts give the same phone number, 02-465-3555. One copied note says phone orders for takeout are accepted; no post says whether you can reserve a table.
