I always find pork cutlet restaurant soup so delicious haha. Filling Donkatsu's soup was insanely good too, as expected🤩 ![Appetizer soup and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-15-3xtdj-966.webp) And! I do not usually like salad that much ㅠ but the salad here was so fresh and the dressing was delicious, so my boyfriend and I kept going back for more while raving about it lol. I thought, my mom would absolutely love this place if I brought her here. ![Fresh salad and dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-16-w4ud6-966.webp) ![Self bar salad selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-17-lgkvk-966.webp) The toast is nicely crisp too—dip it in the provided strawberry jam or soup ^^^^ You all know what I mean 😋 ![Crisp toast and strawberry jam](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-18-1vgb3-966.webp) ## Is the 200-hour tenderloin katsu a must? 200-hour tenderloin katsu, ₩18,000. First up was Filling Donkatsu's signature menu🤍 The 200-hour-aged tenderloin katsu arrived, crisp outside and tender inside. What was interesting was how many different sauces they gave us. ![A plate of 200-hour-aged tenderloin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-19-w39ui-1200.webp) Ahh, can you see that rosy-pink center? My mouth was already watering before I even took a bite💦 Everyone? If you go to Filling Donkatsu, this menu is a must⭐️ One bite and you immediately understand why it is the signature, lol! It is the definition of crisp outside, tender inside, and the juices are seriously no joke ㄷㄷ The sauces that suited my taste best were salt, pork cutlet sauce with mustard, and sesame oil. ![Tenderloin katsu with dipping sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-20-6q7y6-966.webp) ## How was the tomato pasta loaded with dongjuk clams? Spicy dongjuk clam tomato pasta, ₩19,500. Pork cutlet and pasta are such a great pairing, you know🍝 To cut through the richness of the fried food, I picked the dongjuk clam tomato pasta because it looked refreshing—and the presentation is lovely, right? ![Spicy dongjuk clam tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-21-cntfa-966.webp) ![Pasta with shrimp and dongjuk clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-22-50d33-966.webp) The shrimp were plump and large, and true to its name, it had a ton of dongjuk clams lol. Still, to my taste, it felt more like a seafood stew than tomato sauce, so I think opinions may be divided. ![A plate of dongjuk clam tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-23-1wgb9-966.webp) Oh, and although it said spicy, it was not spicy. Even people who cannot handle heat can eat it, so I recommend it if you like dongjuk clams~ It was nice for cleansing the palate while eating the pork cutlet👏 ![Ice cream and coffee after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu-24-q4hja-966.webp) ## A stroll through Ssangam Park after the meal After finishing the meal, we had ice cream and coffee too🍦 Since Filling Donkatsu is near Ssangam Park, it was perfect for dinner followed by a walk, you know? Highly recommend it as a Cheomdan date course💛 ## Where it is - Filling Donkatsu Gwangju Cheomdan Direct Store (필링돈까스 광주첨단직영점) (필링돈까스 광주첨단직영점) - Unit 207, 2F, Building A, 43-10 Cheomdangwagi-ro 208beon-gil, Buk-gu, Gwangju, South Korea - 전남광주통합특별시 북구 첨단과기로208번길 43-10 A동 2층 207호 필링돈까스 - 35.2227073, 126.8489819 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%84%EB%A7%81%EB%8F%88%EA%B9%8C%EC%8A%A4%20%EA%B4%91%EC%A3%BC%EC%B2%A8%EB%8B%A8%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@35.2227073,126.8489819,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gwangju-brass-bowl/gwangju-cheomdan-pilling-donkatsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
