Went out for pork cutlet in the Sanbon academy district :) This time I visited Onjeong Gyeongyangsikdang, near Gwangjeong Elementary School.

What is the restaurant like inside? Under a year old and spotless

I thought it might be a fairly new place, and sure enough, it opened less than a year ago — the whole interior felt fresh and clean. The tables and chairs seemed well taken care of, which I liked!

There were a lot of families, but it also looked like a comfortable spot for solo dining.

Onjeong Gyeongyangsikdang menu and set prices

I was searching for a good pork cutlet spot in Sanbon and landed here — they had quite a variety, from gyeongyangsik (old-school Western-style) pork cutlet to spicy, cheese, and curry pork cutlet. I ordered set menus.

• Udon and gyeongyangsik pork cutlet: ₩14,500
• Buckwheat soba and spicy pork cutlet: ₩15,000

Just a heads up — the set menus don't come with a huge amount of pork cutlet!

There's also a little space under the chairs for bags and belongings, so you don't have to set anything on the floor — nice touch. And I checked the country of origin!!! Rice, meat, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and vegetables are all Korean-sourced~

Free self-serve bar with unlimited rice and salad

What I really liked was the self-serve bar. At Onjeong you can help yourself to as much rice and salad as you want, which was great — if you want more salad while eating your cutlet, you can just go grab it.

Among Sanbon pork cutlet spots, I think one with a self-serve bar this well set up is a genuinely solid find :)

How big are the sets? Udon and soba feel like the main dish

The gyeongyangsik pork cutlet set and spicy pork cutlet set came out fast!! I was so surprised by the size of the udon and soba portions haha. Set menus usually don't come with this much... will I even be able to finish it all haha

Gyeongyangsik pork cutlet: old-school style with plenty of sauce

If you come to Onjeong, you have to try the gyeongyangsik pork cutlet. It's the old-school style with sauce piled on top, and since I love that style, I really enjoyed it.

The sauce pairs really well with the crispy cutlet, and with the soup and bread that come alongside it, it felt like nostalgic old-school Western food haha. If you're looking for a good pork cutlet spot in Sanbon, I'd personally recommend the gyeongyangsik cutlet above all. Note that the cutlet itself is on the thin side.

Udon: generous fried tofu and fish cake

The udon also had so much fried tofu and fish cake haha, I almost wondered if the udon was the actual main dish haha.

Spicy pork cutlet: much hotter than expected

I was curious about the spicy pork cutlet too, so I tried it, and it was way spicier than I expected haha. If you handle spice well it should be fine, but for a lightweight like me, I'd just recommend the gyeongyangsik cutlet instead...

Buckwheat soba: green citron (cheonggyul), not lime

The soba that came with the set was also a pretty generous portion, so eating it along with the cutlet left me completely full! I thought it was lime, but it turned out to be cheonggyul (green citron)! The salad has the same green citron in it haha.

Too spicy? Split the cutlets half-and-half

The spicy pork cutlet was too much for me, so I split it half-and-half with the gyeongyangsik cutlet haha. If you're coming with a group, I'd recommend splitting it this way~

Would I return to Onjeong Gyeongyangsikdang in Sanbon?

I found this place while searching for a good pork cutlet spot in Sanbon, and overall I was satisfied — the store was clean and the portions were generous! If you're near the Sanbon academy district looking for a clean pork cutlet restaurant, this could be a good pick.

Next time I'd probably skip the spicy cutlet and just order the gyeongyangsik cutlet on its own without the set haha. If you're looking for a good pork cutlet spot in Sanbon, I'd recommend Onjeong :) Personally, I highly recommend the gyeongyangsik pork cutlet here!
