What comes on the tray: Kkot Gatsu Udon Set and Loin Cutlet Udon Set

I ordered two things: the restaurant's signature 'Kkot Gatsu Udon Set' (with hwa-udon) and the classic 'Loin Cutlet Udon Set' (with su-udon). A generous, beautifully arranged set, plated the moment you order 🍽️

Once seated, we didn't hesitate — we went straight for the house signature 'Kkot Gatsu Udon Set' (with hwa-udon) and the classic 'Loin Cutlet Udon Set' (with su-udon)! The moment we ordered, neatly arranged trays with gorgeous presentation were set down in no time.

From the second it hit the table, the savory smell of fried cutlet filled the air, and the portions were so generous it was hard to believe this was a single-person set — just looking at it made me feel full of anticipation.

Kkot Gatsu cutlet vs loin cutlet: how the two compare

Kkot Gatsu and the loin cutlet are both signature menu items at Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch, each showcasing the meat's natural grain while staying soft and juicy. A life-changing pork cutlet, bursting with juice with every bite 🥩

Kkot Gatsu: crispy on the outside and packed with juice inside — the more you chew, the more savory and tender it gets.

Loin cutlet: the textbook definition of crispy-outside, juicy-inside. Despite its thickness, it's never dry — the lean meat stays clean-tasting and moist all the way through.

How spicy is the hwa-udon broth?

The hwa-udon I chose for the Kkot Gatsu Udon Set is known for its spicy, refreshing broth that recalls a richly simmered yukgaejang (spicy beef soup). Spicy, deep, yukgaejang-like broth — hwa-udon at its finest 🍜

The 'hwa-udon' I picked for the Kkot Gatsu Udon Set had a sharp, deep umami kick — the kind of broth that chases away a chill the moment you take a sip.

It tastes just like a richly simmered, delicious yukgaejang, and that spicy, refreshing broth soaks perfectly into the chewy, springy udon noodles. If you love spicy food, this is a foolproof choice. The savory pork cutlet and the sharp heat of the hwa-udon balanced each other perfectly, and my chopsticks never stopped moving.

What does the su-udon broth taste like?

The su-udon that came with the Loin Cutlet Udon Set has a mild, clean broth flavor without any harsh edge. A deep, clean broth that settles the stomach — su-udon 🥣

The 'su-udon' paired with the Loin Cutlet Udon Set was a mild, deep, clean-tasting broth with real charm — nothing harsh about it.

Thanks to the richly steeped, savory broth and the smooth-sliding noodles, my stomach felt at ease while my spoon kept drifting back for more. A bite of crispy cutlet followed by a warm sip of su-udon broth was truly the perfect combination.
