Tenderloin katsu, pork loin katsu and cheese katsu were tasted side by side at Omi Katsu, with mince curry rice and fried tofu udon on the side — the tenderloin katsu with salt and wasabi was the cleanest, while the cheese katsu poured out far more cheese than meat. A new Godeok spot worth remembering when you want to pick and choose between cutlet types. ## Good to know - **Location**: 28 Godeogyeoyeom 11-gil, Unit 101, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do - **Hours**: 10:15 AM – 9:45 PM (last order 9:15 PM) - **Closed**: Every Sunday and public holidays - **Parking**: Roadside parking near the restaurant; free on weekday evenings and weekends - **Opened**: August 1, with an opening event running - **Ordering**: Kiosk at every table for browsing the menu and paying - **Self-serve corner**: Kimchi, pickled radish and pickled peppers as basic sides; udon broth base and rice refills available - **Event**: One free canned drink for leaving a receipt review - **Recommended sets**: Udon set (tenderloin + cheese katsu, or pork loin katsu), mince curry rice set (pork loin + cheese katsu) *as written by the visitor on Sep 23, 2026* ![Main image of Omi Katsu, a tonkatsu restaurant in Godeok, Pyeongtaek](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-01-yh2eu-966.webp) Omi Katsu - a Godeok, Pyeongtaek tonkatsu restaurant - I'm a food travel blogger, Jjunihwanibyeol. I went back to Godeok after a while and found a delicious new tonkatsu place! If you're ever heading to Godeok, make sure to save and share this post~ ## Inside Omi Katsu: a dining room as relaxed as a holiday Omi Katsu is a handmade tonkatsu specialty restaurant located at 28 Godeogyeoyeom 11-gil, 101, in Godeok, Pyeongtaek. 🐷 A cute pig stamped as their certification mark greets you at the entrance! ![Omi Katsu entrance stamped with a pig certification mark](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-02-1eb3p-966.webp) Since handmade tonkatsu is their specialty, the glass-window interior shows the actual work happening inside haha. Already made me hungry, you know? ![Glass-window interior showing handmade tonkatsu being made](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-03-bsa6o-966.webp) ![Kitchen view through the glass window at Omi Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-04-1ao08-966.webp) Omi Katsu opened on August 1, so being a new spot, they were running an opening event haha ![Sign for the August 1 opening event](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-05-1l9hf-966.webp) ![Omi Katsu opening event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-06-10j1w-966.webp) 🌴 The atmosphere felt cool and comfortable, like being on a resort vacation, and there were plenty of tables. ![Spacious tables with a resort-like feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-07-19a1q-966.webp) The chairs were different from a typical restaurant — comfortable and kind of unique. Felt like I could doze off in them~!? ## How do you order at Omi Katsu? A kiosk at your table Omi Katsu has a kiosk at every table, so you can order right where you're seated. ![Ordering kiosk placed at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-08-7lkke-966.webp) ![Omi Katsu table kiosk menu screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-09-1j2l7-966.webp) With a kiosk at every table, you can check the menu and pay all in one convenient go. ![Table setting with tonkatsu sauce and utensils](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-10-czkf7-966.webp) ![Pouring tonkatsu sauce over the dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-11-1gs61-966.webp) After ordering, I poured the tonkatsu sauce and got ready to eat! 🍽 ![Omi Katsu tonkatsu table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-12-1kkv4-1200.webp) ## What to order at Omi Katsu - Udon set (tenderloin + cheese katsu, pork loin katsu) - Mince curry rice set (pork loin + cheese katsu) ### Tenderloin katsu: the tenderest, mildest and most popular pick If you're wondering about Omi Katsu's most popular menu item, I can confidently recommend it. The tenderloin katsu is the softest, most delicate tonkatsu I've ever had. ![Plate of the tender Omi Katsu tenderloin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-13-1v8xk-966.webp) On the day I visited, every customer seemed to be ordering the tenderloin katsu, and seeing the sold-out sign confirmed it~ ![Cross-section of tenderloin katsu with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-14-1juvy-966.webp) Dipping it lightly in salt and topping with wasabi made for the cleanest and most distinctive tonkatsu combination I've tasted so far. 👏 ![A piece of tenderloin katsu topped with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-15-1mm4y-966.webp) ### Pork loin katsu: the classic cut that suits tonkatsu sauce best If the tenderloin is the soft version, the pork loin katsu is the honest, classic tonkatsu — less softness, more of that clean, savory flavor — for anyone wanting the textbook version. This is exactly the sample of traditional tonkatsu we usually picture, and it pairs best with tonkatsu sauce. Simple is best — seems simple, but you know the basics are always the hardest to get right? The soft texture as its foundation makes it easy to enjoy. ![Pork loin katsu served with tonkatsu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-16-16skv-966.webp) ### Cheese katsu: more cheese than pork If you like cheese, you have to order this. Even if you don't like cheese, try the cheese katsu anyway. Once you taste it here at Omi Katsu, you'll fall for the cheese flavor in no time. 🧀 ![Cheese oozing out of the Omi Katsu cheese katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-17-p8as3-966.webp) ![Cross-section of cheese katsu stretching like a cheese waterfall](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-18-1tzdh-966.webp) I properly tasted a cheese waterfall here that I never even felt eating pizza. That rich, nutty cheese flavor filling your mouth and softly oozing out... it was really special 🌈 🇺🇸 Why does the cheese imported from the US taste this deep and rich? As you can see, it's because the ratio of cheese to meat is abnormally overwhelming~ The light, savory cabbage salad comes with a black sesame and perilla seed sauce that isn't too heavy, so it's a healthy option to enjoy alongside. ![Cabbage salad topped with black sesame and perilla seed sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-19-1tt6w-966.webp) ### Mince curry rice: a spicy curry made for pork loin katsu 🍛 This is a curry you'll fall for after just one bite. Plus, it goes really well with tonkatsu. The delicate pork loin katsu in particular paired great with it. The slightly peppery, spicy kick perfectly covers the one downside of tonkatsu — getting tiresome or greasy! ![A bowl of spicy mince curry rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-20-ln75o-966.webp) ![Mince curry rice enjoyed with pork loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-21-15dg3-966.webp) ### Fried tofu udon: when tonkatsu needs a bowl of broth The udon noodles were nice and chewy, going down smoothly. If you like udon, try it alongside your tonkatsu~ If you're the type who always needs soup with rice, this is a menu item you'll enjoy having soup with your tonkatsu too. ![Fried tofu udon with chewy noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-22-1iu5d-966.webp) ## Self-serve refills and the receipt review event at Omi Katsu A tidy self-serve corner — it gives the impression of being maintained regularly, well organized and easy to grab side dishes from. Kimchi, pickled radish, and pickled peppers are the basic side dishes, and you can even refill the warm udon broth base and rice~ 👍 Branded logo apron — the disposable apron provided as standard has the Coca-Cola logo on it... pretty fancy haha Receipt review event — 🧾 If you participate in the receipt review event, you get one free canned drink! ## Who Omi Katsu suits, and tips for your visit I'm quite the tonkatsu fan, and this place is truly the real deal! 🙌 They source freshly slaughtered pork that day from pigs sourced all over the country, and make each tonkatsu with care. Plus, the cheese katsu uses specially selected, top-grade cheese~ 💯 > A great specialty restaurant to visit when you're craving delicious tonkatsu ![Finishing up the Omi Katsu tonkatsu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-23-x9th4-966.webp) ![An empty plate, completely cleaned of tonkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting/omikatsu-pyeongtaek-godeok-tonkatsu-tasting-24-gfz03-966.webp) I usually can't finish a meal once I'm full, but it was too tasty to leave any behind....
