Chicken cutlet lunch in Ingye-dong: getting to Gyewondang Ingye Branch and parking

Gyewondang Ingye Branch (계원당 인계점) is a restaurant in Ingye-dong, Suwon, that specializes in chicken cutlet. It has an underground parking lot, but it's not very big, so I'd recommend parking in a nearby public parking lot!!

I wanted lunch in Ingye-dong and couldn't decide what to eat, so I settled on chicken cutlet. I searched for a chicken cutlet specialist in Ingye-dong and found Gyewondang Ingye Branch!!!! It looked like a nice place for a light meal at lunchtime, so I headed straight there. You can park nearby, and there's an underground lot too, so it was easy to visit for an Ingye-dong lunch. It's also an easy trip from Suwon City Hall, so the access is pretty good.

Does Gyewondang Ingye Branch have break time?

There's no separate break time at Gyewondang Ingye Branch. It's open from 11am to 9pm, so you can visit at awkward hours too.

This was honestly the best part. At lots of popular restaurants, break time makes timing a hassle, but this branch runs without it, so you can drop in whenever. It was handy for a date when we hit that in-between hour. The generous opening hours are great!!!!

Side dishes are refillable, and there are sides like stir-fried fish cake, so it would be a good place to bring kids too!!!!!!

You can also get cola refills for ₩900 per person!! And it's even better if you leave a receipt review!

How is the chicken cutlet, fried chicken and pork cutlet set?

When the set arrived, I was happy with how generous it looked right away.

It comes with a salad too, so it felt like a balanced meal! You can choose egg rice or black rice as a side, and I went with egg rice.

Thigh-meat chicken cutlet

I tried the chicken cutlet first.

Maybe because it's made with chicken thigh, the texture was really tender and tasty.

The crispy coating and the savory sauce went together so well, and I thought, yep, this is clearly the signature dish of this branch.

Egg fried rice and fried chicken

The egg fried rice is salty and keeps pulling you back for more! It was totally my taste!

The fried chicken had a slightly softer coating!!!! It was also juicy, so it went well with rice.

Can you add just half a pork cutlet to the chicken butter curry?

You can order the chicken butter curry with just the curry, but I added half a pork cutlet.

The butter-flavored curry and the crispy pork cutlet were a great match!!! Eaten with rice, I couldn't stop. Having it with danmuji (pickled yellow radish) cut the richness and made it even better!!! Overall it was hearty but never felt heavy!!

Verdict: Gyewondang Ingye Branch for an Ingye-dong lunch

For an Ingye-dong lunch, Gyewondang Ingye Branch is worth recommending for its generous portions. The butter chicken curry handled the richness nicely, which I loved!!
