Tonkatsu with two Asahi beers on a date night near Amsa Station: Tonka

Tonka is a Japanese-style tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) restaurant on Sangam-ro 5-gil near Amsa Station in Gangdong-gu, Seoul. On a weekday visit at 7pm, a 10-minute wait led to the signature Tonka tonkatsu set, which serves loin and tenderloin together, paired with two bottles of Asahi beer; the limited-quantity special loin katsu and sasami katsu were already sold out. The crust stayed crisp over juicy pork with a moderate amount of fat, so the plate was cleared without feeling heavy.
