Choryang pork cutlet restaurant, cream soup dipping: Dal and Sixpence

Today I'm bringing you a review of an absolutely amazing pork cutlet spot I visited recently! Japanese-style katsu is delicious these days too, but sometimes you just crave the real classic 'gyeongyangsik' (Western-style Korean) pork cutlet — the kind with old-school soup and sweet brown sauce poured all over it, you know? So this time I had errands near Busan Station with a friend, and since I wanted a proper pork cutlet, I searched hard and ended up here — Gyeongyangsik Dal and Sixpence Main Branch! I'll go through everything in order, from location to menu to my honest taste review with photos, so pay attention! 💕

Where is Dal and Sixpence Main Branch, and what are its hours?

Dal and Sixpence Main Branch is on the 1st floor of 7-2 Jungangdae-ro 226beon-gil, Dong-gu, Busan, in Choryang, close to Busan Station. It's open daily 10:40–20:00, closed Sundays.

'Dal and Sixpence' has quite the history — it's been running since 1985! They stick to traditional methods, proud of their deep-flavored handmade sauce and thick, crispy pork. It's already a well-known local favorite among Busan locals, so if you visit during lunch, you'll find it packed with nearby office workers and travelers alike. Honestly a perfect lunch spot near Busan Station!

The modern yet tidy black sign simply reads 'Gyeongyangsik Dal and Sixpence.' Being a place with tradition going back to 1985, you can feel the restaurant's presence radiating from the entrance. They also take Naver reservations and offer delivery through services like Coupang Eats, so people living nearby can order comfortably from home too. The exterior of the building was so neatly kept that my expectations went up even before I stepped inside!

Inside the Choryang restaurant: is solo dining comfortable?

The moment I stepped inside Dal and Sixpence Main Branch, I felt this cozy yet super clean atmosphere! Soft lighting, an accent wall with a brick texture, and classic paintings on the walls created a warm, comfortable mood.

The tables were neatly arranged in a wood style, and the seats were spaced generously, so it felt totally fine whether you're here for a solo lunch near Busan Station or a cozy meal with friends or a partner. The whole restaurant was kept so clean that it easily passed on the hygiene front too!

Menu and prices: what we ordered at Dal and Sixpence

Now for the most important part — the menu and prices!

For today's feast, we ordered the double pork cutlet (₩13,000) and the sweet potato cheese pork cutlet (₩12,500)!

The pre-meal udon broth and cream soup course

Why the cream soup matters before the cutlet arrives

Once you order, the highlight of any gyeongyangsik pork cutlet place arrives — the pre-meal appetizers! Warm, deeply flavored udon broth with finely chopped green onion comes together with a savory cream soup served on a neat, old-school plate.

This cream soup is truly something else... sprinkle a little pepper and take a bite — it's soft, sweet, and wakes up your appetite perfectly! A lot of restaurants these days skip this kind of pre-meal soup, but this place keeps the old gyeongyangsik vibe 100% alive, and eating it brought back all these fuzzy childhood memories.

What the double pork cutlet and sweet potato cheese cutlet look like

Finally, the main dishes arrive! Doesn't it make your mouth water just from the photos alone?

The sweet potato cheese pork cutlet on the left has golden sweet potato mousse swirled beautifully on top! The sauce sits moist underneath, and the sides come with a classic lineup — fresh crunchy cabbage salad, macaroni salad, corn, and pickles. The sweet potato mousse was piled on generously, and just looking at it felt like an explosion of sweetness!

And then the double pork cutlet — the portion is truly insane... Two large, thick cutlet pieces fill the entire big plate! The special brown sauce, soaked deep into the breading, showed off its moistness — a truly overwhelming visual, worthy of being called a Busan Station pork cutlet landmark.

How the 13,000 won double pork cutlet tasted

Now, time to pick up the knife and fork and dig in properly! We cut the double cutlet into bite-sized pieces — even though the breading had soaked up the sauce, it wasn't soggy at all, staying pleasantly crisp, while the meat inside cut through very tender.

The meat wasn't too thin either, just the right thickness, so it had a nice chew to it! The sauce didn't taste artificial at all — savory with deep umami, the kind you never get tired of and keep eating. If you're looking for pork cutlet in Choryang, you absolutely have to try this!

The trick: dipping the sweet potato cheese cutlet in cream soup

Look at this bite-sized piece of sweet potato cheese pork cutlet stuck on a fork! Inside the breading, the savory cheese stretches out, while on top the sweet, soft sweet potato mousse piles on generously — the moment it hits your mouth, the combo of 'sweet + savory + salty' comes together perfectly. The cheese's richness, the sweet potato's sweetness, and the umami of the cutlet sauce all lined up flawlessly!

And here's a tip — dip a piece of leftover cutlet into the remaining cream soup! When the savory soup meets the moist cutlet, the flavor doubles. Mix in bites of salad and macaroni along the way, and you can enjoy the whole meal without any greasy feeling, clean and delicious all the way through!
