On a dinner visit with a friend, the order was the cheddar cheese donkatsu at 13,500 won and the udon with gyeongyang-sik donkatsu (small) set at 14,500 won, and the cutlets fried in the restaurant's steam-injection fryer stayed crisp to the last piece.

This time I found a place that nails the crispy comfort food everyone loves, no matter their age or taste — a handmade pork cutlet restaurant newly opened in Yongsan called Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang! I recently visited with a friend and ordered a well-rounded spread — the rich cheddar cheese donkatsu, a warm bowl of udon, and a hearty set menu. Here's my honest, no-filter review. ✨ ## Where is Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang's Yongsan branch, and what is the space like? The Yongsan branch of Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang is a handmade pork cutlet restaurant tucked in an alley off Baekbeom-ro, close to Hyochangwon Park Station. The clean, fresh storefront and a cute bear mascot catch your eye right away. ![Exterior of Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang's Yongsan branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-01-afoef-900.webp) *Storefront* ![Store entrance with bear mascot](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-02-bav38-900.webp) ![Wood-toned interior seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-03-1bqjx-900.webp) Stepping inside, the warm wood-toned interior gives off a cozy vibe. Along with regular 2- and 4-top tables, there are neatly arranged bar seats by the window and near the kitchen, perfect for solo dining or a date. Finding a spot in Yongsan for a stress-free solo lunch is oddly competitive among office workers these days, but Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang's Yongsan branch has good table turnover and enough seating that eating alone here felt relaxed and easy. ## Why Onjeong fries its pork cutlets in a steam-injection fryer On one wall of the restaurant there's a sign explaining their cooking method. Unlike typical home or restaurant fryers, they actively use a steam-injection fryer. ![Wall sign explaining the steam-injection fryer method](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-04-c7wth-m-900.webp) - Keeps the oil clean: frying debris sinks into a water layer below instead of burning, so the oil stays clear longer and oxidizes much more slowly. - Consistent crispness: because impurities don't contaminate the oil at high heat, the cutlet stays crisp without going soggy even down to the last bite — a true crispy-outside, juicy-inside experience. - Healthier, cleaner taste: it significantly reduces harmful byproducts, so anyone can enjoy this premium fried dish worry-free. Knowing about this careful kitchen philosophy and attention to detail got my expectations way up before I'd even tasted the food! ## Kiosk menu prices and the unlimited self bar Ordering was simple and contactless via the kiosk right at the entrance. The Yongsan branch of Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang has a solid lineup, from main dishes to noodles to signature sets. ![Contactless order kiosk at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-05-105wx-900.webp) ![Kiosk screen showing donkatsu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-06-sgkej-900.webp) ![Kiosk screen showing noodles and set menus](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-07-1w0wl-900.webp) - Signature mains: Doduram Korean pork gyeongyang-sik donkatsu (₩13,000), the addictively spicy-crisp Onjeong spicy donkatsu (₩13,500), the rich cheddar-flavored cheddar cheese donkatsu (₩13,500), and the golden Onjeong curry donkatsu (₩13,500). - Hearty sets: warm udon with gyeongyang-sik donkatsu (small) (₩14,500), udon with cheddar cheese donkatsu (small) (₩15,000), and more set combos to mix and match. ![Poster of signature menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-08-31dvp-900.webp) ![Poster of cheddar cheese donkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-09-1x1i9-900.webp) ![Poster of curry donkatsu and spicy donkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-10-1pzoc-900.webp) The four signature menu items! The posters alone look seriously impressive. ![Self bar rice cooker and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-11-jy1bd-900.webp) ![Self bar containers of kkakdugi and pickled radish](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-12-1t7mm-900.webp) ![Self bar corner with tableware and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-13-1jz3g-900.webp) A huge plus for anyone ordering one dish per person: unlimited rice and fresh side dishes at the self bar! You can scoop warm rice straight from a big rice cooker, and there's crunchy kkakdugi and pickled radish to whet your appetite, plus tableware and sauces kept hygienically organized — perfect if you want to fill up properly. 👍 (Note: not available for young children) ![Self-serve aprons](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-14-14aoy-900.webp) *Aprons* Aprons are self-serve too~ ## Cheddar cheese donkatsu and the udon with gyeongyang-sik donkatsu (small) set That day at the Yongsan branch of Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang, I ordered the cheddar cheese donkatsu (₩13,500) and my friend chose the udon and gyeongyang-sik donkatsu (small) set (₩14,500). While we were chatting, the dishes arrived neatly plated as individual wood-tray settings. The visuals alone were impressive! #Drool guaranteed ![Cheddar cheese donkatsu individual tray setting on a wood tray](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-15-dxmu1-1200.webp) *Cheddar cheese donkatsu* ![Thick pork cutlet topped with cheddar cheese sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-16-1eqtd-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a piece of cheddar cheese donkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-17-1haxl-900.webp) My order, the 'cheddar cheese donkatsu bursting with cheddar flavor,' was a thick handmade pork loin cutlet fried crispy and drenched with a generous, thick, rich cheddar cheese sauce like a waterfall. With every bite, that savory, deep cheese flavor spread happily through my mouth! They apparently use only carefully selected fresh Doduram Korean pork loin trimmed the same day — there wasn't a hint of gamey smell, and the meat was juicy, showing the real craftsmanship of a handmade pork cutlet. ![Rolls and strawberry jam served with the cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-18-1pbyy-900.webp) ![Mini burger made with a roll and pork cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-19-1i5jz-900.webp) Slathering strawberry jam on the round, cute rolls served alongside and sandwiching the cutlet inside to make a mini burger was a fun little delicacy I couldn't skip! ![A bowl of cream soup served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-20-14azd-m-900.webp) *Cream soup* The cream soup served before the main dish, warming and softening the stomach, was excellent too — so savory. ![Udon and gyeongyang-sik donkatsu set table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-21-186i2-900.webp) ![Small gyeongyang-sik donkatsu with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-22-m74ck-900.webp) My friend's udon and gyeongyang-sik donkatsu (small) set was also a total hit. ![Fried fish cake and tofu skin udon topped with tempura flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner/onjeong-yongsan-cheddar-tonkatsu-udon-dinner-23-1ib1j-900.webp) *Tofu skin and fish cake udon* The warm fried fish cake and tofu skin udon, piled generously with tofu skin and tempura flakes, had a rich, deep broth that neatly cut through the greasiness of the crispy cutlet, playing a fantastic supporting role. It made total sense why local office workers line up here every mealtime and word has spread about this being a top pork cutlet restaurant near Hyochangwon Park! ## A free can of soda for a Naver photo review Right now, Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang's Yongsan branch is running a nice Naver photo review event for visitors.
