I ordered YBD sang loin katsu and hire katsu together, then finished the spicy jang-guk broth with rice. Verdict: a memorable spot for katsu with real pork flavor. ## Good to know - **Address**: 201, 2F, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 2층 201호) - **Hours**: Daily 11:10–20:30 - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Last order**: 15:00, 20:00 - **What I ordered**: YBD sang loin katsu, YBD hire katsu - **Limited item**: Sang loin katsu is available in limited quantities *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ![Food during a visit to Hets, a katsu specialist in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-01-423tf-687.webp) ## Hets, a katsu specialist I found in Jeonpo It had been a while since I'd had really good tonkatsu (Japanese-style breaded pork cutlet) in Jeonpo, and Hets was the place I came across while looking. I was curious what a katsu specialist would taste like, so I visited looking forward to its clean atmosphere and variety of katsu dishes. ### Hets Jeonpo Branch location and hours It is located at 201, 2F, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea, and is open daily from 11:10 to 20:30. Break time is 15:30 to 17:00, and last orders are at 15:00 and 20:00. Hets is located between Seomyeon Station and Jeonpo Station, so it is very accessible. It's a nice place to visit while enjoying Jeonpo's lively atmosphere, and I'd also recommend it as a meal spot when you have plans in Seomyeon or Jeonpo. ![Scene from a visit to Hets in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-02-faxeh-900.webp) ![Scene from a visit to Hets in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-03-16kmd-900.webp) ![Scene from a visit to Hets in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-04-vkqma-834.webp) ![Scene from a visit to Hets in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-05-1pa2p-840.webp) The interior felt clean and well organized overall. It isn't a huge restaurant with tons of seats, but bar-style seating around the open kitchen lets you watch the katsu being made up close. ![Interior of Hets with an open kitchen and bar seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-06-q3yra-1280.webp) ## Ordering YBD sang loin katsu and hire katsu At Hets, you can try katsu made with Jeju black pork as well as YBD katsu. YBD is said to use pork from three breeds: Yorkshire, Berkshire, and Duroc. That day, we ordered the YBD sang loin katsu and YBD hire katsu. Just so you know, sang loin katsu is sold in limited quantities, so it seems best to arrive a little early if you want to try it! ![YBD katsu order at Hets](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-07-16l4x-900.webp) ![Limited-quantity sang loin katsu order](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-08-lwj3x-900.webp) After ordering and waiting, the jang-guk broth and rice arrived first, followed by the main katsu. ![Jang-guk broth and rice served before the katsu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-09-12jbn-825.webp) ![Jang-guk broth and rice served before the katsu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-10-11i2o-900.webp) ## Two kinds of katsu, crisp outside and juicy inside The katsu finally arrived! It looked incredibly appetizing from the start. The exterior was fried crisp while the inside looked moist and perfectly cooked. Looking at the cross-section, I could see the juices and tender grain of the meat, and it made me want to dig in right away. ![Katsu with a crisp exterior and moist interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-11-q0l72-900.webp) ![Katsu cross-section showing juices and tender grain](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-12-cvt9g-900.webp) ### The rich, chewy flavor of sang loin katsu Sang loin katsu is a cut with gabrisal, or pork jowl meat, attached, so it had a richer, nuttier fattiness than ordinary loin katsu. With the first bite, that savory richness came through strongly along with the meat's pleasantly chewy texture. ![Rich and chewy sang loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-13-1tlhv-722.webp) ![Sang loin katsu with attached gabrisal pork jowl meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-14-13blj-900.webp) It was delicious on its own, but it was also fun combining it with the different ingredients on the table. Mustard or wasabi gave the pork a different character, and it was tasty with extra pepper too. My personal favorite, especially, was adding just a little truffle oil. The truffle aroma made the sang loin katsu's characteristic rich flavor feel much deeper. ![Sang loin katsu paired with truffle oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-15-1gkp1-900.webp) ![Sang loin katsu enhanced with truffle aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-16-1jf1k-900.webp) ### The tender, clean appeal of hire katsu Hire katsu had a distinctly different appeal from the sang loin. Above all, its texture was really tender and moist. It chewed softly without being tough or dry, with a clean flavor, so I think hire katsu would suit anyone who likes lighter-tasting katsu. ![Tender, moist hire katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-17-pzea9-900.webp) The sang loin katsu was rich and full-flavored, while the hire katsu was tender and clean, so ordering both was great because I could compare their different charms as I ate. ![A comparison meal of sang loin katsu and hire katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets-18-1jlz2-900.webp) ## Spicy jang-guk broth that cut through the richness Lastly, the jang-guk broth was especially memorable. Rather than the mild broth you usually get at a tonkatsu restaurant, it had a lightly spicy kick, which I loved. After eating katsu for a while, the richness of the fried coating and pork can build up, but sipping the spicy broth in between cut through it and refreshed my palate. In the end, I couldn't resist mixing rice into the broth too. Overall, I was happy not only with the food but also with the restaurant's atmosphere and location, so I think it will come to mind again when I'm looking for a neat meal in Jeonpo. In particular, if you love tonkatsu or prefer katsu that lets you really taste the pork itself over the usual Korean-style pork cutlet, it seems well worth a visit. ## Where it is - Hets Jeonpo Branch (헷츠 전포점) - 201, 2F, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea (부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 2층 201호) - 부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 2층 201호 - 35.1567327, 129.0649601 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%97%B7%EC%B8%A0%20%EC%A0%84%ED%8F%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.1567327,129.0649601,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ceramic-rim/jeonpo-katsu-spicy-soup-hets/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
