A couple reserved through Naver the day before and walked straight in with no wait, then ordered one tenderloin gyukatsu at 24,000 won and one striploin gyukatsu at 19,000 won and grilled the slices on the tabletop grill, with salt plus wasabi the best combination. Betong, a salt bread bakery, is right next door to Gyuen Dang, so dinner and dessert make an easy Seongsu date course. ## Good to know - **Location**: 10 Yeonmujang 7-ga-gil, 2nd floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul (Seongsu Station) - **Tenderloin gyukatsu**: 24,000 won - **Striploin gyukatsu**: 19,000 won - **Reservation**: Booked on Naver the day before; walked in with no wait - **How you eat it**: Grill each slice as much as you like on the tabletop grill - **Sauces**: Tangy soy sauce for tenderloin, teriyaki for striploin, plus salt, wasabi and butter - **Nearby**: Betong salt bread bakery right next door - **Price reference**: ₩24,000 ≈ $17.5 · ₩19,000 ≈ $13.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Signature gyukatsu photo from Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-01-i6j3w-1200.webp) Today's Right Living post is about Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch, which my husband and I visited for a date in Seongsu. ## Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch: how the next-day Naver booking worked Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch is a gyukatsu (beef katsu) specialty restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building at 10 Yeonmujang 7-ga-gil, near Seongsu Station. We booked through Naver the day before, so we walked straight in without any waiting. Every time I go to Seongsu these days there are so many restaurants and cafés that I end up agonizing over where to go. Some popular spots have hours-long waits. This time I was craving gyukatsu after a while, so my husband and I decided to check this place out. Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch, the Seongsu gyukatsu spot, is on the 2nd floor! ![2nd floor entrance of Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch near Seongsu Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-02-1x09c-900.webp) ![Stairway up to the 2nd floor of the Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch building](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-03-hsnip-900.webp) ![규엔당 성수본점 매장 입구 모습](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-04-18bl7-900.webp) Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch is located on the 2nd floor. Walking in, even though we were right in the middle of Seongsu, it felt just like stepping into a Japanese restaurant. ![Interior of Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch with a Japanese restaurant atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-05-c6cwi-900.webp) Since it was just the two of us, we decided to order different dishes and share. ![Menu board showing gyukatsu and omurice at Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-06-3oh1a-900.webp) *Click to view larger.* Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch also seems to be known for its omurice (omelet rice). Next time I'll have to try that too... ## Tenderloin vs striploin gyukatsu at Gyuen Dang: prices and differences At Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch we ordered two dishes — tenderloin gyukatsu for ₩24,000 and striploin gyukatsu for ₩19,000. We tried both! ![Table setting with tenderloin and striploin gyukatsu at Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-07-ms6v8-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu set with a tableside charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-08-1revj-900.webp) ![A piece of gyukatsu being grilled on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-09-o9brn-900.webp) You get to grill the gyukatsu yourself on the charcoal grill set up at the table, to whatever doneness you like. Grilling piece by piece with that sizzling sound made for a fun, slow-paced meal. Ordering both tenderloin and striploin together let us really feel the difference in texture between the two. ![Cross-section comparison of tenderloin and striploin gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-10-1h4vw-900.webp) ### Tenderloin gyukatsu, 24,000 won: the softer cut ![Soft-textured tenderloin gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-11-1jd32-900.webp) Tenderloin gyukatsu has a soft, tender texture, ### Striploin gyukatsu, 19,000 won: for those who like a chewier bite ![Chewy striploin gyukatsu with a firmer bite](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-12-ogepd-900.webp) The striploin gyukatsu has a bit more chew to it! Rather than picking one over the other, I liked alternating between tenderloin and striploin. My husband, who usually likes meat with more bite like sirloin, said, "I like the striploin better." Definitely knows what he likes, haha. ![A piece of striploin gyukatsu grilling on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-13-1dp2v-900.webp) ![A plate of gyukatsu alternating between the two cuts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-14-nig1b-900.webp) If you like soft meat, go with the tenderloin; if you like a chewier bite, the striploin is a great pick. ![Salt and wasabi served alongside the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-15-jvgu7-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu dipped in salt and topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-16-15u9n-900.webp) ## The best way to eat Gyuen Dang's gyukatsu: salt and wasabi For me, the tastiest combination was salt + wasabi! There are several ways to eat gyukatsu depending on your taste. I liked grilling it once more on the charcoal grill, dipping it lightly in salt, and then topping it with wasabi. You could really taste the meat, and the wasabi kept it clean and light, so I kept coming back to this combo. The pickled radish served alongside was also great to snack on in between bites. It wasn't plain pickled radish either — it was seasoned, so having a bite of gyukatsu followed by the radish cleaned the palate nicely :) ![A full gyukatsu spread with seasoned pickled radish on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-17-2tt3a-900.webp) ![A table of shared gyukatsu at Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-18-ipl58-900.webp) Chatting about which cut was tastier while slowly grilling it together made for a really nice date meal. Grilling it with butter gave it a whole different flavor to enjoy too. The tenderloin and striploin also came with different sauces — a citrusy soy sauce for the tenderloin and a teriyaki sauce for the striploin. We dipped it in the sauces sometimes, but I mostly ate it with the salt + wasabi combo. ## Salt bread after beef katsu? Betong, right next door in Seongsu ![A line outside Betong, the salt bread bakery next to Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course-19-cwa0g-900.webp) Right next to Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch is the famous salt bread bakery Betong. Even when we visited, there was a line of people waiting to buy salt bread. If you're planning a date in Seongsu, gyukatsu followed by salt bread or coffee makes for a great course. ## Barom's Right Living verdict on Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch We visited Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch together and tried both the tenderloin and striploin gyukatsu. Since there's a real difference between the soft tenderloin and the chewier striploin, if you're going with two people, I'd recommend ordering one of each to share. I preferred alternating between the two rather than picking one, while my husband was firmly on Team Striploin. And the salt + wasabi combination on well-grilled gyukatsu was the best part :) If you're craving gyukatsu in Seongsu, or looking for a place to eat with your husband or partner, give Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch a try. ## Where it is - Gyuen Dang Seongsu Main Branch (규엔당 성수본점) - 10 Yeonmujang 7-ga-gil, 2nd floor, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 연무장7가길 10 2층 - 37.5428877, 127.0552985 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%9C%EC%97%94%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%84%B1%EC%88%98%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5428877,127.0552985,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@folded-menu-corner/gyuendang-seongsu-gyukatsu-couple-course/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
