## In short

Izawa Cheonan Sinbu-dong Branch is an authentic Japanese gyukatsu (deep-fried beef cutlet) restaurant on an upper floor of the food alley across from Cheonan Intercity Bus Terminal. Four friends all ordered the signature gyukatsu (striploin) at 18,000 won and grilled each piece to their own taste on mini tabletop braziers, switching between wasabi, salt and the house sauce. With free rice and salad refills and well-spaced tables, Izawa works well for a meal with friends or a date.

## Where is Izawa Cheonan Sinbu-dong Branch?

Today I'm introducing an authentic Japanese gyukatsu (beef cutlet) restaurant you can enjoy right here in Cheonan — Izawa Cheonan Sinbu-dong Branch. It's located in the food alley across from Cheonan Intercity Bus Terminal.

You've probably walked past Auri Yachae Gopchang at some point! It's on the upper floor of that very building!! It's easy to find, so if you're looking for a gyukatsu spot in Sinbu-dong, keep this in mind.

## What's on the menu after the renewal

I liked that I could check the menu board at Izawa Cheonan Sinbu-dong Branch before going in. It was convenient to see if what I wanted was on the menu before I even walked inside.

![Menu board with renewal notice at Izawa](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-cheonan-sinbudong-gyukatsu-sirloin/izawa-cheonan-sinbudong-gyukatsu-sirloin-05-yhjjm-900.webp)

They said the menu is currently being renewed! Going forward, they'll no longer serve tonkatsu, but gyukatsu will still be on the menu 🥹 Since we came specifically for gyukatsu, we were relieved, haha.

## Inside Izawa: atmosphere and seating

This is the overall interior of Izawa Cheonan Sinbu-dong Branch ~ The tables were spaced generously, which made it comfortable to chat while eating. With seating for 2 up to 4, it's a great spot for friends or couples ☺️ There were four of us that day!

The interior is decorated to feel like Japan, so it's full of atmosphere!

Just so you know, rice and salad are refillable 💛💛

## Striploin gyukatsu at 18,000 won, ordered four times over

They say the beef Izawa uses isn't 'artificial' meat made with texture manipulation. It's seasoned beef seasoned and flash-frozen at a carefully selected processing plant certified under HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) food safety standards!!

We all ordered Izawa's signature gyukatsu (striploin) — all four of us the same. Izawa means gyukatsu, right ~? Hehe. The gyukatsu (striploin) costs 18,000 won.

Gyukatsu is a Japanese dish where beef is coated in a thin layer of batter and fried until crispy on the outside. It looks similar to tonkatsu at first glance, but since it's beef rather than pork, the texture and flavor are noticeably different~

## How to grill gyukatsu on the mini tabletop brazier

What I especially love about eating gyukatsu is that you get to use a mini brazier to grill it to whatever doneness you like — it's fun! Whenever the flame went out, a staff member came right over to relight it, so we could keep eating happily, haha.

![Grilling gyukatsu on the mini brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-cheonan-sinbudong-gyukatsu-sirloin/izawa-cheonan-sinbudong-gyukatsu-sirloin-19-58pne-900.webp)

At Izawa, the gyukatsu and steak rice bowl are cooked rare when served. If you can't eat undercooked meat, or if you're prone to stomach trouble from things like raw beef tartare, sashimi, or other undercooked foods, please don't eat it as served — be sure to grill it on the mini brazier until it's cooked to your liking!

### Wasabi, salt and Izawa's house sauce

Try it with wasabi on top, dipped in salt, and dipped in Izawa's house sauce — tasting it different ways makes it even more delicious. I especially loved it with wasabi on top.

Personally, I found it tastiest lightly grilled so it stays moist! Of course everyone has a different preferred doneness, so grill it to your own taste. I'd love to come back and try other menu items next time. That wraps up my review of Izawa Cheonan Sinbu-dong Branch, a gyukatsu spot that's great for a date course in Cheonan Sinbu-dong ~
