Three diners shared the three-person set, which brought a tonkatsu curry set, a chicken nanban set and a kkanpunggi (sweet and spicy fried chicken) set plus menbosha (shrimp toast) and two cans of Zero Coke, with a drawing on the soft-boiled egg and a review-event milk pudding as the memorable touches.

The tonkatsu is crispy and really tasty too!! The portion is huge! Plus the clear soup is solidly good too! ![Plate of basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set-19-1amb2-900.webp) ![Milk pudding and pickled side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set-20-1dssz-900.webp) ![Sausage and braised quail eggs among the basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set-21-6jcrs-900.webp) The basic side dishes are milk pudding / pickled radish & pickled chili / pickled mustard greens / sausage / braised quail eggs / seasoned pickled radish. Once you finish your rice, you eat the pudding with the small spoon! Some people apparently come to Daidokoro just for the rich, delicious milk pudding!! ## Chicken nanban set This is the chicken nanban set! There's a small side of curry to eat with the rice :) Each bowl has a different soft-boiled-egg drawing, which is so cute :) And the portion of nanban is quite generous! ![Chicken nanban set topped with tartar sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set-22-za6y2-900.webp) The nanbanzu (sweet vinegar sauce) with the tartar sauce works together amazingly, so good ✨️ ## Kkanpunggi set This is the kkanpunggi (sweet and spicy fried chicken) set :) ![Soft-boiled egg reading 'Hi' with the kkanpunggi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set-23-69aos-900.webp) ![Full spread of the kkanpunggi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set/daidokoro-gwangbok-three-person-set-24-1v7h7-900.webp) This soft-boiled egg has 'Hi' written on it haha. The kkanpunggi is delicious too :) + 2 cans of Zero Coke were also included in the set ✨️ (you can pick your drink) After checkout, they give you glucose candy :) ## Is the Daidokoro three-person set worth it? A clean, well-rounded Japanese home-style restaurant that gets both the portions and the flavor right — Daidokoro Lotte Department Store Gwangbok Branch feels like a little slice of Dotonbori transplanted here, props and all.
