After work, I tried YBD hire katsu and assorted katsu, with the tender, moist hire katsu standing out most. For comparing the texture of different cuts, the assorted katsu is a great pick. ## Good to know - **Address**: 201, 2F, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산 부산진구 전포대로 225 2층 201호) - **Hours**: 11:10–20:30 - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Last order**: Lunch 15:00 / dinner 20:00 - **Regular days off**: None - **Parking**: Use a nearby public parking lot - **Ordered**: YBD hire katsu, YBD assorted katsu, 1 piece of sasami katsu *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* ## A tonkatsu dinner after work in Jeonpo After work, I went for dinner at Hets Jeonpo Branch, a great tonkatsu spot in Jeonpo! With its crisp breading and thick, moist meat, it was a lovely place to stop by when I was craving Japanese-style tonkatsu. That day, I ordered hire katsu and assorted katsu to enjoy the different textures and flavors of each cut, haha. ![Featured photo from a tonkatsu visit to Hets Jeonpo in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-01-irzfh-900.webp) ![Tonkatsu dinner at Hets Jeonpo in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-02-ovy52-1200.webp) I visited on a Wednesday evening and arrived around 7:30 p.m. I got in right away without waiting, and used a nearby public parking lot. ![Photo from a visit to Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-03-14zvb-900.webp) ![Photo from a visit to Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-04-q588f-900.webp) ![Photo from a visit to Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-05-1ejmf-900.webp) The restaurant had a neat gray-and-silver atmosphere. It is centered around bar seating, so it seemed perfectly fine for dining alone, too. It was a nice place to drop in for a tonkatsu meal after work. ![Gray-and-silver interior of Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-06-gv3we-900.webp) ![Bar-focused seating inside Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-07-vww5r-900.webp) ## Ordering YBD hire katsu and assorted katsu That day, I ordered YBD hire katsu, YBD assorted katsu, and one piece of sasami katsu as a side. I had originally wanted the YBD upper loin katsu, but it was already sold out when I arrivedㅠㅠ I was a little disappointed since it was the dish I had wanted, but this time I went with hire and assorted cuts. I was curious about the YBD listed on the menu, and the restaurant's guide explained that it is pork crossbred from Yorkshire, Berkshire, and Duroc pigs. After reading about the meat, I was even more curious about how the tonkatsu would taste, haha. ![Order of YBD hire katsu and assorted katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-08-x53py-900.webp) ![YBD tonkatsu dishes ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-09-deaah-900.webp) ![YBD pork guide and tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-10-9xyx0-900.webp) ![YBD tonkatsu order spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-11-70j3g-900.webp) ## The savory chew of the assorted katsu loin First up was the loin katsu from the assorted katsu! It had thick lean meat alongside a layer of fat, so its savory flavor built as I chewed. It even reminded me of the richness you get from pork belly, though it did not feel overly greasy to me. Once I got through the crisp coating and bit into the meat, there was a deep juiciness, with the lean and fat blending smoothly together. I could enjoy both the meaty chew and the savory richness. ![Assorted katsu loin texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-12-1g810-900.webp) ![Thick loin katsu cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-13-1e4zc-900.webp) ## Hire katsu that melted in my mouth And then there was the hire katsu, which I especially enjoyed! When I picked it up with my chopsticks, even the cross-section looked moist. One bite was so tender that “melts in your mouth” was the first phrase that came to mindㅠㅠ Since it is tenderloin, I wondered if it might be dry, but not at all. The contrast between the crisp outside and moist interior made each piece fun to eat. ![Moist hire katsu cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-14-7dkq8-900.webp) ![Crisp hire katsu and its tender interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-15-1ks94-900.webp) The loin was great for its fatty savoriness and chew, while the hire was more memorable for its soft texture. If you are torn between cuts, I think the assorted katsu is a good way to compare them. ![Comparison of loin and hire katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-16-boatq-900.webp) ![Comparison of assorted katsu cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-17-10f5z-900.webp) ![Tonkatsu accompaniment combinations](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-18-hmunj-900.webp) ![Salt, wasabi, and tonkatsu sauce accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-19-frfg7-900.webp) ## Tonkatsu accompaniments and soup There was no unpleasant meat odor, and it went well with salt, wasabi, or tonkatsu sauce. Salt was great for tasting the meat itself, while wasabi added an appealing sharpness. The truffle oil, hutsu, and mustard combination offered yet another flavor, so I alternated the accompaniments piece by piece, haha. ![Truffle oil, hutsu, and mustard accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-20-1g1ww-900.webp) I also liked the jang-guk (clear savory soup) that came with the meal. It had a pleasantly spicy kick, making it nice to spoon up between bites of tonkatsu. The combination of rich meat and punchy broth worked so well that I kept reaching for it. ![Punchy jang-guk served with tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-21-24pdd-900.webp) ## Sasami katsu and final thoughts on dinner I added one piece of sasami katsu as a side because I remembered really enjoying chicken katsu in Tokyo before and wanted to try it. Still, I had expectations based on that meal, and perhaps because the other tonkatsu that day was so good, the sasami katsu felt a little plain by comparison. Pork katsu suited my taste better. ![Side order of sasami katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets/jeonpo-dinner-katsu-hets-22-14nmk-858.webp) Overall, it was a satisfying dinner because the meat itself tasted good and had great texture. As someone who loves tender tonkatsu, the hire katsu was the one that stayed with me most, haha. Next time, I want to visit a little earlier and try the YBD upper loin katsu I missed this time.
