The writer ordered the Jeju black pork sang loin katsu (₩17,000) and the loin katsu (₩14,000) together and ate them with pepper, wasabi, truffle oil and silbi kimchi, alongside the corn tea served in place of water and a salad in corn dressing. With a stainless bar table facing an open kitchen, Hets Jeonpo Branch works well even for a solo tonkatsu lunch in Jeonpo. ## Good to know - **Address**: 2F, Unit 201, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan - **Getting there**: Jeonpo Station Exit 7 - **Hours**: 11:10 - 20:30 - **Break time**: 15:30 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 15:00 and 20:00 - **Parking**: ₩1,000 toward a parking ticket at the nearby public lot - **Jeju black pork sang loin katsu**: ₩17,000 - **Jeju black pork loin katsu**: ₩14,000 - **Review perk**: Boneless karaage or a soft drink for a Naver review - **Other**: Tabling reservations, wifi, song requests accepted - **Price reference**: ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 · ₩14,000 ≈ $10 · ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ## Hets Jeonpo Branch: a Jeju black pork tonkatsu spot by Jeonpo Station Exit 7 Hets Jeonpo Branch is a 2nd-floor tonkatsu restaurant at 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, close to Exit 7 of Jeonpo Station.

FYI, CatchTable reservations work here too. Once inside, there's a dedicated spot to store umbrellas and coats, plus waiting seats. ![Waiting seats with a coat and umbrella storage area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-03-1k2w1-m-900.webp) ## The stainless bar table and goods at Hets Jeonpo Branch The seating at Hets Jeonpo Branch is a black-and-silver combo, done overall in stainless steel. The bar table is perfect for eating alone, and it gave off a hip yet polished vibe. ![Black-and-silver seating at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-04-a2jza-900.webp) ![Stainless steel bar table for solo dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-05-p1klu-900.webp) ![View of tables inside Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-06-1sl60-900.webp) ![The stylish dining hall of Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-07-b9zu4-900.webp) Clean and with plenty of seats, Hets really has that new-generation interior feel. They also sell various goods, and the BGM was great too. Hets also offers a discount as a thank-you to those who serve the country. ![Notice board inside the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-08-crpo3-900.webp) There were even sticky notes for taking song requests. ![Sticky note for writing a song request](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-09-1vizn-900.webp) ![Wall covered with customers' song request notes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-10-71rk8-900.webp) Apparently 'Hets' means fun or cheerful in German. It's meant to say they hope you eat happily and deliciously, haha. ![Sign explaining the meaning of the name Hets](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-11-zw2eu-900.webp) ## 5 ways to eat Hets tonkatsu at its best I liked that Hets Jeonpo Branch had simple illustrated menu explanations along with tips for eating it deliciously. - Take the first bite with no sauce - Combine with wasabi - Dip in pink salt - Drizzle with truffle oil - Dip in pepper I love the wasabi and truffle oil combo the most. I'm a tonkatsu lover who eats it with no sauce. ![Illustration showing how to enjoy the tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-12-19khh-900.webp) The menu at each seat lists tonkatsu, sandos, and sides, and they also sell beer, so try the tonkatsu-and-beer combo sometime. ![Menu set at every table at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-13-8m6xu-900.webp) ![Menu listing tonkatsu, sandos, and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-14-12m3n-900.webp) ![Menu page listing beer and drinks](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-15-198qa-900.webp) Since it's an open kitchen, you can watch them fry the katsu hygienically, which made me trust Hets even more. Reliability up. ## Corn tea instead of water, and the sauces set at each seat A killer point about Hets Jeonpo Branch — the water isn't plain bottled water, it's corn tea. Nutty and refreshing, I loved it so much. Each seat comes pre-set with whole black pepper, salad dressing, truffle oil, and wasabi. The perk of not having to keep asking for refills, haha. They were also taking song requests and wifi was available. These cute, thoughtful little notes were full of good sense. Apparently you get boneless gara-age or a soda if you write a Naver review. Just FYI. ![Sauces and corn tea set at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-16-1478x-900.webp) ## Sang loin katsu (₩17,000) vs loin katsu (₩14,000): which to order What I ordered was the Jeju black pork sang loin katsu (₩17,000) and Jeju black pork loin katsu (₩14,000). ![Jeju black pork sang loin katsu with rice and jangguk soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-17-txpoy-1200.webp) Rice and jangguk (savory soup) come as standard, and the soup was clean and just slightly spicy — really tasty, haha. Jangguk really is essential with tonkatsu. The Jeju black pork sang loin katsu was dripping with juices and overwhelming just from the visual... it was fried really well, not greasy at all, and had barely any oiliness, which I loved. Tonkatsu's biggest downside is usually the frying making it easy to get sick of, but there was none of that here, and the portion was just right. ![Cross-section of the juicy Jeju black pork sang loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-18-1h2em-900.webp) You could catch a slight meaty aroma and hint of char too, which made it soft and delicious, haha. ![A piece of the sang loin katsu with a hint of char](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-19-1qtfg-900.webp) The Jeju black pork loin katsu felt a bit thicker and had a stronger chewy texture. I really love the fatty part, and eating it with silbi kimchi (fresh spicy kimchi) let me enjoy it deliciously with zero greasiness. Compared to the sang loin katsu it had less fat, but it was still delicious. ![Thickly sliced Jeju black pork loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-20-i93zo-900.webp) They'll also give you silbi kimchi if you ask — it's a bit spicy and completely cuts the richness, letting you eat really happily. ![Spicy silbi kimchi served on request](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-21-10o8u-900.webp) ![A piece of tonkatsu paired with silbi kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-22-6p7a4-900.webp) Jeju black pork sang loin katsu with pepper sprinkled on top. ![Jeju black pork sang loin katsu sprinkled with pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-23-pj48a-900.webp) Drizzled with truffle oil, the aroma rises up gently and it's so fragrant, letting you really taste the meat's original flavor. ![Close-up of tonkatsu drizzled with truffle oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea-24-wgnz1-900.webp) ## Why Hets Jeonpo Branch is worth a tonkatsu meal in Jeonpo Hets Jeonpo Branch even does a corn dressing for the salad, which is nutty and sweet — I don't usually like dressings, but I enjoyed this one. The staff were quick and kind too, which made it even better. It's great for solo dining and the tonkatsu is delicious, so it's a place I'd want to visit again. If you're looking for a good tonkatsu spot in Jeonpo, I highly recommend Hets. ## Where it is - Hets Jeonpo Branch (헷츠 전포점) - 2F 201-ho, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 2층 201호 - 35.1567327, 129.0649601 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%97%B7%EC%B8%A0%20%EC%A0%84%ED%8F%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.1567327,129.0649601,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@haeundae-morning-broth/hetz-jeonpo-heukdon-katsu-corn-tea/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
