On a Saturday evening around 8pm, close to last order, the writer walked in with no wait, ordered the basic gyukatsu and a Kirin beer, and grilled the cutlet on a butter-melted hot plate at the table. The wasabi-topped gyukatsu with Kirin beer combo was good enough to think of again next time passing through Seoul Station. ## Good to know - **Gyukatsu**: ₩19,500 / Jumbo ₩32,000 - **Steak set**: ₩19,500 / Jumbo ₩32,000 - **Hamburg omurice**: ₩17,000 - **Steak rice bowl**: ₩19,500 - **Hot plate chop steak**: ₩18,000 - **Japanese curry**: ₩13,000 - **Location**: Basement floor, LG Seoul Station Building, 5-min walk from Line 4 Exit 10 - **Waiting**: Catch Table waiting kiosk in front of the store - **Event**: Free fried shrimp with a receipt review - **Visit time**: Around 8pm on a Saturday (near last order, few customers) *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![Signature photo of gyukatsu at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-01-761rm-1200.webp) Today I visited Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch, a restaurant near Seoul Station.

There's a standing menu board in front of the store and a Catch Table waiting kiosk. I visited around 8pm on a Saturday, which was close to last order, so there weren't many customers, just so you know! It was nice being able to walk right in without waiting, but during peak hours I'd recommend checking Catch Table in advance. ![Overall interior view of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-05-1puhh-900.webp) ![Interior view with plenty of seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-06-1wxb5-m-900.webp) ![Quiet dining hall seating in the evening](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-07-19xza-900.webp) ![Table layout good for eating alone](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-08-1jwc7-900.webp) The interior had more seats and felt bigger than I expected!

Since it's a grill-it-yourself style, first-timers might find it a bit unfamiliar, but that's exactly what makes it fresh and fun. When you order gyukatsu, they set you up with a burner + hot plate like this Once the hot plate heats up, they melt the butter for you Then you grill it diligently on top of the butter. Grilling it where there's no butter made it stick to the plate ㅠㅠ! No time to look away... ![Gyukatsu grilled directly on a butter-melted hot plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-14-vp1fx-900.webp) Topping it with wasabi is pure bliss haha ![Wasabi-topped gyukatsu with Kirin beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu/ichigyu-seoul-station-saturday-night-gyukatsu-15-dbu2d-900.webp) ## Gyukatsu and Kirin beer, a perfect match When things got rich and heavy, washing it down with Kirin beer was delicious — a dream combination with gyukatsu ㅜ Definitely order a beer and drink it together, I recommend it! ## Why I'd recommend this as a gyukatsu spot near Seoul Station If you're looking for a great gyukatsu place near Seoul Station, I highly recommend Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch. It's easy to access and has plenty of seats, so it's comfortable for dates, eating alone, or lunch appointments. The grill-it-yourself style makes it fun, and the combination of butter-grilled gyukatsu and Kirin beer was an unforgettable taste. Near Seoul Station, you often end up just grabbing a quick bite while passing through, but Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch felt different from those places.
