Visiting on a weekday at 1pm, two diners shared one Choi bone-in tonkatsu (₩16,500) and one shrimp basil pasta (₩15,000), and the combination of juicy-yet-crispy tonkatsu with plump shrimp basil pasta worked really well. Even on weekday afternoons the place gets busy, so reservations are recommended. ## Good to know - **Menu**: Choi bone-in tonkatsu ₩16,500 / Shrimp basil pasta ₩15,000 - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00 - **Break time**: 16:00–17:00 - **Parking**: Available - **Reservations**: Available - **Visit time**: Weekday, 1:00 PM - **Banchan**: Sigeumchi/siraegi (dried radish greens) muchim, danmuji (pickled radish) *as written by the visitor on Sep 2, 2026* ![Storefront photo of Choi Dining Yangju Okjeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-01-17p00-900.webp) ## Choi Dining Yangju Okjeong's location and hours Today I'm introducing an Okjeong tonkatsu spot — specifically a bone-in tonkatsu place worth knowing about •• ❤👉🏻️Choi Dining Yangju Okjeong❤️👈🏻 Address: 74 Okjeong-dongno7da-gil, 2nd floor, unit 203, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea Hours: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00 Break time (16:00–17:00) Parking O / Reservations O I walked in on a weekday at 1:00 PM🚶‍♀️ ![Basic banchan dishes on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-02-xwh6s-900.webp) ## The siraegi muchim banchan is a standout Here's the basic banchan (side dishes)!! You get siraegi (dried radish greens) muchim and danmuji. Personally, that siraegi muchim tasted really special? I usually prefer kimchi with my tonkatsu, but this *basic banchan* siraegi muchim was a real treat!! ![Spacious interior with an open kitchen visible](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-03-p4iyt-900.webp) ## Interior and table spacing Looks like a bit of an open kitchen! The place itself is super clean and spacious, with wide table spacing that made it easy to talk. The staff were also really, really kind ![Siraegi muchim and danmuji banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-04-1an5q-900.webp) *Banchan* Siraegi muchim and danmuji ![Choi Dining's set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-05-qp949-900.webp) They also have a variety of set menus, which seems great for trying multiple dishes!! ![Page from Choi Dining's menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-06-1p9lv-900.webp) ![Menu page listing tonkatsu and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-07-1ylns-900.webp) ## What we ordered and the prices 👈🏻Order👈🏻 ❤️Choi bone-in tonkatsu - ₩16,500 (this flavor is insane) ❤️Shrimp basil pasta - ₩15,000 ![Full spread of the Choi bone-in tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-08-13i6c-1200.webp) ### Choi bone-in tonkatsu: juicy + crispy 🫶🏻🫶🏻Here's the Choi bone-in tonkatsu🫶🏻🫶🏻 I'm known as a tonkatsu killer and I've been to a lot of tonkatsu places — I like it juicy and crispy with plenty of Western-style sauce… and this bone-in tonkatsu is juicy+crispy itself… The meat inside was genuinely tender, not the slightest bit dry ![Cross-section of the crispy fried bone-in tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-09-189pv-900.webp) ### Shrimp basil pasta: love it or hate the basil? Shrimp basil pasta tends to split people on the basil flavor, but even my companion fell for the basil flavor this time••• that kind of taste. It also came loaded with plump shrimp!! ![Shrimp basil pasta topped with a poached egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-10-vgcnv-900.webp) See that juicy meat?? It's so moist it cuts really easily!! That refreshing salad on the side was also seriously delicious. The basil pasta comes with a poached egg on top, so you're meant to break the yolk into it 🍳 ![Noodles in the shrimp basil pasta with broken yolk mixed in](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-11-13b29-900.webp) That noodle texture combined with onion, shrimp, garlic, and bacon is an amazing combo🥹🙀 The shrimp weren't just tiny cocktail shrimp — they were plump and hearty.. ![Close-up of the pasta showing plump shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-12-yuq2r-900.webp) The table was also nice and big😋 ![Wide table set with both the tonkatsu and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-13-oj5jl-900.webp) Cleaned my plate completely.. oh right, one more thing — dipping the bone-in tonkatsu into the leftover basil shrimp pasta sauce is a game changer..😍🥹🥹 ![Emptied plate with leftover pasta sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-14-159si-900.webp) ## Best menu combo for two Visiting as a pair and ordering one bone-in tonkatsu and one basil shrimp pasta gave us just the right amount of food. Ordering one of each and sharing meant we got to try two dishes, which was great!! *Owner's recommended combo* 🙇🏽‍♀️Bone-in tonkatsu + basil shrimp pasta😍 ![The tonkatsu and pasta combo ordered for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-15-1dw3o-900.webp) ![Dining room with weekday lunch customers at Choi Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta-16-sdpka-900.webp) ## Good for an Okjeong lunch or date? Highly recommend for lunch in Okjeong! Highly recommend as a Japanese-style restaurant in Okjeong too. Choi Dining has a pretty varied menu, so it seems like a good spot for a group where everyone can pick what they want. With options ranging from tonkatsu to pasta, soba, and futomaki, I found myself wanting to come back and try other dishes next time!!! FYI! It's a perfect spot for a date🫪 Even at 1:00 PM on a weekday it was already crowded! Reservations highly recommended✌🏾 ## Where it is - Choi Dining Yangju Okjeong (초이다이닝 양주옥정점) - 74 Okjeong-dongno7da-gil, 2nd floor, unit 203, Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 양주시 옥정동로7다길 74 2층 203호 - 37.8207335, 127.0928184 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%9D%20%EC%96%91%EC%A3%BC%EC%98%A5%EC%A0%95%EC%A0%90/@37.8207335,127.0928184,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-lunch-bookmark/choi-dining-okjeong-bone-katsu-basil-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
