It's not far from the station at all, making it easy to visit, and the vibe was relaxed and easy to eat in. ![Interior view of Gohobi Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-04-15xos-900.webp) ![Wall of Gohobi Katsu covered in Japanese-style posters](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-05-2185i-900.webp) ## Inside Gohobi Katsu: counter seats and atmosphere The name Gohobi comes from the Japanese word for 'gift,' and apparently the space is meant to feel like a special gift itself! Japanese-style posters cover the walls and the overall vibe is cute and detailed — honestly a nice spot for a Suwon date too. ![고호비카츠 아기자기한 내부 소품](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-06-cx9yf-900.webp) ![Cute decorative details inside Gohobi Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-07-8k39v-900.webp) Every seat at this Suwon location is tachi (counter) seating, which naturally makes it comfortable for solo diners. That said, the space itself is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend visiting in small groups at this Japanese restaurant! Parking is available underground at Dongin Trueville. ![Gohobi Katsu's tachi seating, comfortable for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-08-197vb-900.webp) ## What's on the menu at Gohobi Katsu? The signature menu items at this Japanese restaurant near Suwon Station are four: special premium rosu katsu, rosu katsu, hire katsu, and whole mozzarella cheese katsu. True to a great tonkatsu spot, the menu is varied — cordon bleu pork cutlet, kimchi cheese nabe pork cutlet, and more. ![Gohobi Katsu tonkatsu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-09-1jg7l-900.webp) Limited-quantity items include donteki (grilled pork), mazesoba set, perilla oil bibim soba, menchi katsu, katsuo udon, and chicken karaage curry udon. With so many options, it seems like a great place to order and share. - Ordered: cold soba (naengmomil) - Ordered: sweet potato mousse cheese katsu ![Menu board for limited items and noodle dishes at Gohobi Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-10-uvr5w-900.webp) ![Rice and miso soup served as standard at Gohobi Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-11-iqr3q-900.webp) I ordered the sweet potato tonkatsu and cold soba, and before the mains arrived, the staff neatly set out rice, miso soup, and side dishes. At Gohobi Katsu, rice and miso soup come standard with any set menu order. ![Neatly arranged side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-12-fyiev-900.webp) ![Full set laid out at the tachi counter at Gohobi Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-13-1fab7-900.webp) ## Sweet potato mousse cheese katsu, 16,000 won Gohobi Katsu's sweet potato mousse cheese katsu is ₩16,000 — I'd recommend it if you like sweet potato. I've been ordering cheese katsu topped with sweet potato mousse a lot lately, and it's a foolproof choice every time! ![Full plate of the sweet potato mousse cheese katsu set](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-14-10bzc-900.webp) ![Sweet potato mousse cheese katsu served in four pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-15-5khrr-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the katsu showing cheese and sweet potato mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-16-18dhy-900.webp) The set comes with tonkatsu, salad, salt, wasabi, rice, spicy pepper, pickled radish, and miso soup. The sweet potato tonkatsu comes as four pieces, and each piece is huge. The savory cheese katsu and the sweet sweet potato blended together really well — a great combo. ![Cheese katsu served with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-17-1o4up-900.webp) ![Side salad served without dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-18-16fz3-900.webp) ### Which sauces are on the table? The salad comes without dressing, so I added the sauces prepared at each table. There were basic tonkatsu sauce, spicy tonkatsu sauce, sesame salad dressing, apple-carrot sauce, and even furikake. ![Tonkatsu sauces and dressings prepared at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-19-quj3y-900.webp) ![Salad drizzled with dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-20-1fu36-900.webp) ## Icy cold soba, 10,000 won Gohobi Katsu's icy cold soba is ₩10,000, and I ordered it as a side dish — I personally really enjoyed it! Tonkatsu alone can feel a bit lacking, but this cold soba really cuts through the richness of the fried cutlet. ![A bowl of Gohobi Katsu's icy cold soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-21-1j742-900.webp) They apparently make the broth with a special recipe, and the clear yet deep broth quality was excellent. The seaweed topping was a nice kick too! ![Cold soba broth topped with seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-22-17wmd-900.webp) ![Noodles dipped into the cold soba broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-23-8ei57-900.webp) Mixing in a bit of wasabi partway through gave the soba a sharper kick and made it even richer. Gohobi Katsu has plenty of tonkatsu options, and I'd recommend the tonkatsu and cold soba combo. Next time I want to try the donteki I've been curious about. ![Cold soba mixed with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese/suwon-station-gohobi-katsu-sweet-potato-cheese-24-1xp7c-1200.webp) ## Why Gohobi Katsu works for solo dining near Suwon Station A cozy spot where I had a satisfying meal — visit whenever you're craving Japanese food.
