Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch (꽃가츠 동탄본점), a Mokdong favorite in Dongtan
What is Kkot Gatsu Dongtan like at weekend lunch?
Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch is a tonkatsu spot in Mokdong, Dongtan, with bright walls and wooden tables and chairs. A tasty, nutty Dongtan tonkatsu place! Inside, it feels clean and warm overall.
It was weekend lunch and guests kept coming in, so I figured we'd wait a while after ordering, but the food came out faster than expected, which was perfect for how hungry we were, haha. The katsu comes out resting on a wire rack, and the way the batter shatters crisply when you pick up a piece with chopsticks and bite in is just so good. The round tenderloin was soft inside and looked great for sharing with a kid, while the savory loin looked like a hearty pick for adults who love a good chew.
How much are Kkot Gatsu's tenderloin Kkot Katsu and loin katsu?
At Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch, the signature Kkot Katsu (tenderloin, 200g) was ₩16,000 and the loin katsu (200g) was ₩15,000. We ordered one of each! That's per the menu when I visited, and there were also sets with udon (thick wheat noodles) or cold soba, plus curry dishes.
A 200g katsu plate with rice, soup and cabbage salad
Each serving of katsu at Kkot Gatsu is 200g of meat, laid out with rice, soup and a cabbage salad. For a Dongtan katsu lunch the price felt slightly high at first, but a plate of thickly sliced katsu arrives with rice, soup and cabbage salad, so the table was full. Both had 200g of meat, so the portion was generous, and afterward I felt properly satisfied, like I'd really eaten meat, haha.
How does the tenderloin Kkot Katsu taste? Best with lemon salt
The tenderloin Kkot Katsu at Kkot Gatsu has juicy, tender meat inside a thin crust, and it went well with lemon salt. A Dongtan Mokdong tonkatsu favorite: the round Kkot Katsu with lemon salt is totally my type ♡
My pick was definitely the tenderloin Kkot Katsu! The round shape is cute to begin with, and in cross-section the meat is quite thick. They said they use aged pork, and when I bit in, the thin batter crunched away and the inside was juicy and soft. That mix of a crisp outside and a pillowy tenderloin in one bite was fun.
Sticky rice that kept me full until dinner
And the rice at Kkot Gatsu was secretly my type too! Each spoonful has a sticky chew, so a piece of crispy katsu followed by a bite of rice was a great combo. Normally I get hungry again not long after lunch, but this day I stayed full until evening, which surprised me, lol.
Kkot Gatsu Dongtan parking and a nearby stream walk
Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch has a neat wooden exterior and is on the 1st floor, so it was easy to walk in. We parked in a spot in front of the restaurant, toward the station. After eating, we strolled along the nearby stream and park path to help digestion. There are cafés and a Daiso around too, so you could have a coffee after your walk or browse for things you need. It was perfect for when you don't want to head straight home after a weekend lunch, haha.
The plating is very neat too!
What is Kkot Gatsu's loin katsu like? Chewy bite, savory fat
The loin katsu at Kkot Gatsu has more grain than the tenderloin and a satisfying chew. Loin is all about the chew, with plenty of cabbage and sides too! My partner's pick, the loin katsu, has a bit of fat along the edge that tastes nutty, so even one piece feels hearty!
My partner cleared a plate of loin and I cleared the round Kkot Katsu. Ordering one each and swapping a piece was fun too, since our tastes split so neatly, haha. I put wasabi on my katsu as well.
Cabbage salad and self-serve sides: dried radish and radish pickles
At Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch you can fetch extra sides like dried radish strips and radish pickles yourself. The cabbage salad comes out generous from the start, so it was easy to have a bite of cabbage with each piece of katsu. A bite of radish pickle in between resets your mouth with some tang, and the crunchy dried radish went well with rice.
Weekend lunch in Dongtan Mokdong: Kkot Gatsu, then a stream walk
After filling up, we strolled the nearby stream and park path. If you're looking for a weekend lunch in Dongtan, I recommend a plate of tenderloin at Kkot Gatsu followed by a walk. Next time I'll probably go straight for the Kkot Katsu with lemon salt again. I want to try the cheese katsu and soba too. A Dongtan restaurant I'd love to visit again ♡
