A couple parked the car and ordered the Jinsim King Double Donkatsu, cold jjolmyeon (chewy spicy noodles) and cola, then added soup, lettuce, kimchi and pickled radish from the self-serve bar. The cutlet covered the whole plate and the ice-flecked cold noodles reset the palate between bites, with enough left to take home after this weekend lunch. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Jinsim King Double Donkatsu, cold jjolmyeon, cola - **Self-serve bar**: Soup, lettuce, kimchi, pickled radish and more - **Hours**: Daily 10:00–21:00 (last order 20:30) - **Address**: 11-13, Pyeongdong-ro 800beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, 1F (Okdong 167-7, Gwangsan-gu) - **Good to know**: Groups welcome, takeout, delivery, parking *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch's Jinsim King Double Donkatsu, featured photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-01-175sw-1200.webp) On the weekend, my husband and I spent a while debating what to eat for lunch, and ended up craving donkatsu, so we went to Jinsim King Donkatsu.

We wanted to properly try the donkatsu, so we went for the double. ![Menu board at Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-13-1liou-966.webp) That day, we ordered the Jinsim King Double Donkatsu, naengjjolmyeon, and a cola. ![Menu listing donkatsu and noodle dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-14-1ja5d-966.webp) While deciding what to eat at Jinsim King Donkatsu, we picked the Jinsim King Double Donkatsu since we wanted to try the donkatsu properly. ![Table set before the Jinsim King Double Donkatsu arrived](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-15-1gnps-966.webp) And on top of that, a refreshing naengjjolmyeon to eat cold! A good combo if you want both donkatsu and noodles for lunch near Pyeongdong Station. ## How big is the double donkatsu, and how does it taste? The Jinsim King Double Donkatsu came out filling the entire plate, and my first thought the moment it arrived was, is this size actually real? ![Jinsim King Double Donkatsu filling the whole plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-16-yi9ap-966.webp) The plate-filling visual was seriously impressive. True to its name, the Jinsim King Double Donkatsu felt really substantial in portion size. The breading was crispy and satisfying to bite into, and paired with the sauce, I just kept reaching for more. ![Cross-section of the crispy-breaded king donkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-17-1k5e7-966.webp) ![A piece of donkatsu with sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-18-12bpt-966.webp) If you're looking for donkatsu near Pyeongdong Station and care about generous portions, these photos alone would catch your eye. ### Why ice-flecked cold jjolmyeon works with a king-size pork cutlet And the surprisingly good pairing was the naengjjolmyeon! Mixing the spicy seasoning into the icy, chilled broth topped with ice flakes was really tasty. Eating the crunchy vegetables and noodles together, then following with a bite of donkatsu, made for a great combo. ![A bowl of naengjjolmyeon topped with ice flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-19-12jgz-966.webp) Eating only donkatsu for lunch near Pyeongdong Station can feel a bit heavy, but the naengjjolmyeon refreshed our palate along the way. Wrapping the donkatsu in the self-serve lettuce was also a fun, different way to enjoy it. ![A bite of donkatsu wrapped in lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon/pyeongdong-station-donkatsu-parking-cold-jjolmyeon-20-r8ysh-966.webp) From the soup to the donkatsu to the naengjjolmyeon, both of us really enjoyed every bite.
