Restaurants without baby chairs are harder to find these days lol, but still, having one is reassuring, you know? Good good 👍 ## What the seating at Izawa is like ![Seating decorated with figurines and posters](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-11-nsre6-900.webp) We picked this spot because the interior was pretty haha. Sitting next to it, we had fun looking at the figurines and posters too >< ![Japanese-style props and posters beside the seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-12-swywi-900.webp) ![Instructions on how to eat gyukatsu deliciously](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-13-1u0en-900.webp) And on one side there were instructions on how to eat gyukatsu deliciously, so if it's your first visit, it might be worth checking out! ## QR ordering at the table: prices for the three dishes ![Table QR code ordering sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-14-tin09-548.webp) Izawa The Terrace Garden branch used QR code ordering! We could look at the menu and order comfortably from our seat, which actually felt more convenient haha. ![Menu board at Izawa The Terrace Garden branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-15-1x9r6-900.webp) There was quite a variety on the menu too~ Here's what we ordered 👇🏻 - 🥩 Gyukatsu ₩17,000 - 🥩 Rosu-katsu ₩12,000 - 🍜 Mazesoba ₩10,000 That's what we ordered! ## The three dishes arrive at the table ![Table spread of gyukatsu, rosu-katsu, and mazesoba](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-16-1tyqh-900.webp) After a short wait, the food came out pretty quickly! First of all, the visuals passed the test 🙆🏻‍♀️ Just looking at it made us want to dig in right away lol. ## Gyukatsu, 17,000 won: grilling beef cutlet on the mini burner The key point of Izawa's gyukatsu (beef cutlet) is that you place it on a mini charcoal grill and cook it to your own preferred doneness! 🔥 You can just lightly grill it bit by bit as much as you like~ This one right here is seriously so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Insane, just insane lol. ![A piece of gyukatsu grilled on the mini charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-17-wrh8g-1200.webp) I grilled it lightly and took a bite, and the meat was so tender…🥹 Really crispy outside and soft inside! I put a bit of wasabi on it and dipped it in Izawa's special fruit sauce, and wow…… what is this combination? 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was so delicious I kept gasping while eating lol. If you like gyukatsu, this is a flavor you'll be satisfied with! Out of everything I ate that day, the gyukatsu was by far the best 👏🏻👏🏻 ## Rosu-katsu, 12,000 won: crisp and light pork loin cutlet ![Plate of crispy fried rosu-katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-18-1f5cp-845.webp) ![Cross-section of the thick rosu-katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-19-jpm1p-848.webp) Next up, rosu-katsu (pork loin cutlet)! It had a different charm from the gyukatsu haha. ![Rosu-katsu with a pale, well-cooked interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-20-1y4ef-900.webp) Light in flavor with a crispy exterior~✨ The thick cutlet's inside was cooked to a nice pale color too! Since there's no grilling step and you can eat it right away, it seemed like a good pick to visit with kids who love tonkatsu too 👧🏻👦🏻💕 Dip it in the special rosu-katsu sauce and yum! ![A piece of rosu-katsu topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-21-13w1z-857.webp) And for adult tastes, wasabi is a must, right? lol 🌱 My husband and I shared the gyukatsu and rosu-katsu and had fun comparing the two different styles of flavor haha. ## Mazesoba, 10,000 won: the side dish worth adding ![Mazesoba ordered as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-22-1etpy-823.webp) And the mazesoba (brothless mixed noodles) we ordered as a side!!! Made with a special secret sauce, apparently — the noodles were chewy and salty with tons of savory flavor 🤤 ![Mixed mazesoba noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-23-1haft-737.webp) ![Pork belly and noodles picked up together from the mazesoba](https://img.superchart.com/images/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba/ulsan-samsan-gyukatsu-roskatsu-mazesoba-24-tpz7x-788.webp) Picking up pork belly with the noodles and slurping it down together… you know how it is lol. You just can't resist the meat-and-noodle combo ❤️ Eating it alongside the gyukatsu refreshed our palate in between bites, and it was great as a side dish! ## Which of Izawa's three dishes was the favorite? Overall, we enjoyed everything we ordered! But among them, my pick is clearly… > 🥇 Gy-u-ka-tsu!!!!! It was so delicious that next time I'll order a double portion of gyukatsu lol. I want to eat so much of it 🥹💕 There's fun in grilling it to your own preferred doneness, and with meat that melts in your mouth paired with the sauce and wasabi, I get why people who love gyukatsu come here haha. ## Is Izawa worth a meal in Samsan-dong, Ulsan? If you're searching for good food in Ulsan and you like gyukatsu, Izawa The Terrace Garden branch is worth a visit at least once!
