It’s a charity pork cutlet joint, offering incredible value for money that leaves you questioning if anything is left for the restaurant. One menu item could easily satiate an adult man. If you’re craving a cutlet in Songpa, this is the place to be. Despite having only five types of tendon on the menu, they tend to sell out quickly.
The meat is sourced from Jeju Island, renowned for its quality. Taking a bite of the chicken cutlet, I was pleasantly surprised by its tenderness. Despite being made from chicken breast, it wasn’t dry at all. The portion size was generous, especially considering the price. The chicken cutlet, sprinkled with furikake, offered a delightful subtle flavor.
Moving on to the tenderloin cutlet, made from pork, it boasted a slightly fluffier texture than the chicken cutlet. However, it remained remarkably tender compared to other cutlets elsewhere. With each bite of the tonkatsu, the exceptional quality and flavor of the meat became increasingly evident. The rich meaty flavor lingered in my mouth and nose, leaving a lasting impression.
