I tried the 18,000 won Jeju black pork assorted katsu, 16,000 won YBD premium loin katsu, and 3,000 won curry. The moist, tender hire katsu was the clear favorite—I’d order the Jeju black pork assorted katsu again. ## Good to know - **Address**: 225 Jeonpo-daero, 2F, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - **Parking**: Use nearby public or private parking lots - **Hours**: Weekdays 11:10–20:30 - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Last order**: 15:00, 20:00 - **Jeju black pork assorted katsu**: ₩18,000 - **YBD premium loin katsu**: ₩16,000 - **Curry**: ₩3,000 - **Soft drink**: ₩2,000 - **Refills**: Rice, soup, and side dishes available *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* I’m a gukbap (rice soup) fanatic and a tonkatsu fanatic too,,, and I absolutely have to try Busan’s famous tonkatsu spots~~ before I can be satisfied. I finally made it to Hets in Jeonpo! Hets has two locations, in Gwangalli and Jeonpo, and this visit was to Hets Jeonpo Branch. ## Hets Jeonpo Branch on the main road by Jeonpo Station ![Hets Jeonpo Branch exterior with visitor information](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-01-ili19-900.webp) Hets Jeonpo is on the main road around Jeonpo Station. ![Hets Jeonpo Branch on the main road near Jeonpo Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-02-8ekuy-900.webp) The interior has that industrial metal vibe,, ⛓️⛓️ With high ceilings and lots of open space, it feels really roomy inside. ![Spacious high-ceiling interior at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-03-1w2jx-900.webp) There was handy storage beneath the chairs, and the tables were nicely spaced apart too. ![Restaurant seating with storage under the chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-04-30nb9-900.webp) If only I hadn’t driven.. Beer with tonkatsu is the thing... Looks like they serve Kirin draft beer.. It must be soooo good.... ![Kirin draft beer served with tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-05-6p0po-900.webp) Each table had pepper, salad dressing, truffle oil, and wasabi, and even the sauce containers were kept super clean. ## Jeju black pork and YBD katsu menu ![Tonkatsu table set with pepper and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-06-1fbmm-900.webp) Hets Jeonpo is broadly split into two types: Jeju black pork and YBD. I guess it depends on the type of meat. Naturally, that means you have to try one of each... - Jeju black pork assorted katsu ₩18,000 - YBD premium loin katsu ₩16,000 - Curry ₩3,000 - Soft drink ₩2,000 ![Jeju black pork and YBD katsu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-07-1owfv-900.webp) The back of the menu explains how to enjoy everything properly, and of course I read it closely because food should be eaten properly. The line that caught my eye was, “If you need Silbi kimchi, please feel free to ask a staff member.” Oh my goodness,, sounds delicious,,, I can’t handle spice, so I didn’t ask for any, but it would be great with tonkatsu, which can get just a liiittle rich as you eat! They also have a Naver review event, but we had already ordered plenty.. a lot, really... so we passed! ## Trying the premium loin katsu and black pork assorted katsu ![Preparing for a tonkatsu meal at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-08-pj85j-900.webp) ![Dining table with tonkatsu and cola](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-09-ki9cv-900.webp) Cola ready,,, but the water was corn silk tea with ice floating in it, and wow, that water was seriously delicious haha. ![Iced corn silk tea and cola](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-10-zjeh3-900.webp) Chunks of meat to admire while waiting.. My husband said, “I want to take all of those home.” ![Chunks of meat admired while waiting](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-11-1pq6w-900.webp) First came the rice, soup, side dishes, and curry! For reference, the rice, soup, and side dishes can all be refilled~~ ![Rice, soup, side dishes, and curry set on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-12-53dy1-900.webp) ### What does the YBD premium loin katsu taste like? YBD premium loin katsu, ₩16,000. This cut has pork neck attached, so you really get that meaty flavor! ![YBD premium loin katsu with pork neck attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-13-o8428-900.webp) The balance with the fat is just perfect! ![Premium loin katsu with a balance of fat and lean meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-14-1nrtx-900.webp) Oh, and the salad dressing here is corn dressing, and it is seriously delicious!!!!!!! Definitely, definitely pour on lots of dressing~~ ![Katsu and salad with corn dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-15-1y2pw-900.webp) A cut like this, with a little fat mixed in, absolutely has to be eaten with wasabi! Loin katsu can get a little rich as you eat, but this never felt greasy or heavy and stayed delicious to the end. ![Premium loin katsu eaten with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-16-94tyl-900.webp) ### The Jeju black pork assorted katsu I’d order again Jeju black pork assorted katsu, ₩18,000. I’d order this again even if I came back... because.. the hire katsu was truly so good,,, ![A plate of Jeju black pork assorted katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-17-sjmop-900.webp) ![Assorted katsu with moist hire katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-18-1wjuz-900.webp) Can you see it.. Can you see that sheen.. Can you see the moisture and the juices... Above all, that hire katsu was so tender and delicious. You can just consider it the best thing I ate.... Hire katsu can be dry and disappointing if it’s fried wrong, but this was truly moist, clean-tasting, and tender.. If they had a hire katsu-only menu, I think I’d order that! ![Juicy, glossy hire katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-19-1l0pq-900.webp) ![Hire katsu with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-20-84odx-900.webp) You know that a dab of salt + wasabi is the classic, right..? I don’t usually drizzle this kind of thing on my food, but I was curious, so I tried the truffle oil! It worked far better than expected, and the truffle aroma paired so well with the richness of the tonkatsu that I drizzled it on two or three more times. ![Tonkatsu meal with truffle oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-21-w5wjc-900.webp) If things start to feel a little rich while eating, grind on some pepper and you can keep going. ![Tonkatsu finished with freshly ground pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu-22-1l3lu-900.webp) But really.. is it okay for a ₩3,000 curry to have this much meat in it..?! If you have a big appetite, ordering one curry and having a bowl of rice with the tonkatsu plus another bowl with the curry would make for a very satisfying meal! ## Where it is - Hets Jeonpo Branch (헷츠 전포점) - 225 Jeonpo-daero, 2F, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 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/@checkered-tablecloth-9b7a/jeonpo-heukdon-modeumkatsu-hitsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
