So it's a good fit not just for people looking for a Munji-dong steak spot, but also for those who want pasta on the side.

Chop steak with the mini udon set

What I ordered this time was

the chop steak + mini udon set 🥩🍜

The chop steak came in bite-sized pieces, easy to pick up one at a time with a fork.

The meat was tender with a savory flavor that came through more the more I chewed, and it went really well with the sauce 😋

Paired with the warm mini udon, it turned out more filling than I expected.

Taking a sip of the udon broth between bites of steak cleaned my palate nicely — the combination worked pretty well ^^

Curry pork cutlet 🍛🥩

The crispy fried pork cutlet came with a mild curry, giving it a familiar yet hearty flavor.

The savory cutlet went well with the subtly rich curry, and eating it with rice made for a satisfying meal 😋

On a day when steak or pasta feels like too much, I thought this kind of menu would be a nice, easy option ^^

The curry was delicious, but the cutlet was really delicious too!!!

Dipping it in the curry makes it even better!
