# Samsan, Ulsan pork cutlet and gyukatsu: three dishes for two, Izawa - By Dasol (https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-steam-table/) - Written Sep 14, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Nam-gu, Ulsan - Sponsored: This post was written as a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-steam-table/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@daegu-steam-table/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/index.md) ## In short Izawa Ulsan The Terrace Garden branch is a gyukatsu (Japanese-style breaded beef cutlet) and rice bowl restaurant inside the Terrace Garden building at 231 Samsan-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan. Two friends ordered three dishes to share — gyukatsu, special loin katsu and steak-don — grilling the meat on a mini tabletop brazier, and rated steak over rice with wasabi the best combination of the three. Izawa suits a pair who want to split several dishes, and the building offers parking. ## Good to know - **Location**: 231 Samsan-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:25) - **Parking**: Terrace Garden building; up to 2 hours 30 minutes free depending on how much you spend, then 500 won per 10 minutes - **Dishes ordered**: Gyukatsu, special loin katsu, steak-don (steak rice bowl) - **Seating**: Plenty of tables; comfortable for solo diners too - **Price reference**: ₩500 ≈ $0.4 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* Today I want to introduce a restaurant I found while looking for gyukatsu and rice bowls with a friend!

It had that comfortable, homey feel while also giving off a Japanese vibe here and there 🇯🇵 There were quite a lot of tables, and it looked totally fine for solo dining too! ![Sign for the dontoro rice bowl menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-13-ntif0-900.webp) Dontoro don (fatty pork bowl)! The pork jowl bowl looked good too, but I'll try that next time. ![Sign explaining how to eat gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-14-uxymq-900.webp) ![Explanation of the gyukatsu eating order](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-15-160hv-900.webp) ## How to grill and eat the gyukatsu at Izawa The restaurant even has a guide on how to enjoy gyukatsu! - Place the gyukatsu on the mini brazier's grill plate once it's preheated - Flip it front and back to your desired doneness without burning it - Once it's well cooked, add a little fresh wasabi on top - It's said to taste best dipped in Izawa's special sauce! ![Gyukatsu placed on the mini brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-16-ezco9-900.webp) ![Full gyukatsu set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-17-1v9f2-900.webp) We started with the gyukatsu I was most looking forward to 🤍 Crispy outside, soft inside — really good, and I loved that we could grill it on the brazier to whatever doneness we wanted! Dipped in Izawa's special sauce, the meat and sauce paired really well. ![Gyukatsu dipped in the special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-18-13xkn-900.webp) ## The special loin katsu, Izawa's pork cutlet The special loin katsu (tonkatsu) looked delicious too, so we ordered it. The gyukatsu was soft and tasty, but having tonkatsu on the table too meant each dish had its own different charm, which I liked. ![Special loin katsu set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-19-1wnq9-900.webp) The gyukatsu is soft and delicious of course, but grilling steak on the brazier yourself and eating it that way was great too. ![Steak on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-20-1w6kj-900.webp) ![Steak-don, a steak rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-21-l7u1y-900.webp) ![Rice bowl topped with medium-rare steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-22-1jc25-900.webp) ## What is the best way to eat the steak-don? This is a rice bowl topped with steak cooked medium-rare. You could put the steak back on the brazier and cook it a bit more to your liking, which was great 🔥 The rice was tossed with a sweet seasoning, and adding a little steak and wasabi on top of that made a pretty great combination! Personally, the steak + rice + wasabi combo was the tastiest way to eat the rice bowl, haha. ![The three dishes ordered between two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-23-1g7od-1200.webp) There were only two of us, but we both eat a lot, so we ordered three dishes, haha!! ![Empty plates, completely finished](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes-24-kyb0i-900.webp) Hahaha, we can really eat, right? We cleaned every plate, it was that good. ## Why two people should order several dishes at Izawa Rather than ordering just one dish, I think it's better to order several like we did and share, so everyone gets to try different things! The overall atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, so it worked well for eating with a friend, and it also looked like a place solo diners could visit without feeling awkward. Parking is available in the building too, so there's less to worry about when looking for somewhere to eat in Samsan! If you're in Samsan craving gyukatsu or a rice bowl, this place is worth a visit 😊 Next time I go, I'm definitely trying the pork jowl bowl, haha. ## Where it is - Izawa Ulsan The Terrace Garden branch (이자와 울산 더테라스가든점) - 231 Samsan-ro, Nam-gu, Ulsan, South Korea - 울산광역시 남구 삼산로 231 - 35.538956, 129.3328072 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%9E%90%EC%99%80%20%EC%9A%B8%EC%82%B0%20%EB%8D%94%ED%85%8C%EB%9D%BC%EC%8A%A4%EA%B0%80%EB%93%A0%EC%A0%90/@35.538956,129.3328072,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daegu-steam-table/izawa-ulsan-terrace-garden-three-dishes/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
