## In short

Hurato Sikdang Yeouido is a gyukatsu (Japanese fried beef cutlet) restaurant on the 3rd floor of Yeouido Finance Tower in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. Arriving just before the weekend lunch break, the writer ordered the gyukatsu at 19,500 won and the steak set at 19,500 won, grilled both with butter on the personal mini brazier at the table, and refilled the rice for free. The coating on the gyukatsu stayed crisp and the beef was never tough, making Hurato Sikdang Yeouido a place worth returning to.

On a weekend lunch, my boyfriend and I were craving neat, proper Japanese food, so we went to Hurato Sikdang Yeouido, already well known as a gyukatsu spot. It's fun to grill the meat yourself on a mini brazier, so I'd recommend it for a date course or a solid meal. Even though we went right before break time, the place was already packed — here's my review.

## Where is Hurato Sikdang Yeouido, and how long is the wait?

Hurato Sikdang Yeouido is in a building near Yeouido Station, so it was easy to find from the subway. I've tried a bunch of gyukatsu spots in Yeouido, but I'd never seen one this crowded.

There's a Catch Table kiosk at the entrance — if you show up right at lunchtime, expect quite a wait.

## Solo-friendly seats and a personal mini brazier at every table

Hurato Sikdang Yeouido has wall-side seats good for eating solo, plus several 4-person tables, so it works fine for groups too. The photo above was taken after the crowd had cleared!

We went late on a weekend lunch, right before break time. Even though it was past the peak hour, the place was already full with no empty seats.

Every table has its own mini brazier set up. Even though you're grilling meat right there, the ventilation worked well — no stuffiness from smoke or smell. Even before the first bite, it already smells like a Yeouido must-visit...

The table even has instructions for how to enjoy gyukatsu best. Personally, I like it medium to well-done!

After we sat down and ordered, the main dishes came out one by one in a neat spread. First up was the signature menu here, gyukatsu — beef fried thin and crispy, sliced open to reveal a rare, bright red center. It comes with rice, soup, salad, and sauces to suit your taste (salt, chili, soy), plus fresh wasabi.

## How was the gyukatsu grilled with butter?

At Hurato Sikdang Yeouido you can add butter, and I highly recommend it! 🧈 Melting butter on the hot brazier plate before laying the gyukatsu on top let that nutty butter aroma soak right into the meat.

![Gyukatsu cooking on both sides over the butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hurato-yeouido-gyukatsu-butter-rice-refill/hurato-yeouido-gyukatsu-butter-rice-refill-14-1udi4-900.webp)

![A piece of gyukatsu cooked to the desired doneness](https://img.superchart.com/images/hurato-yeouido-gyukatsu-butter-rice-refill/hurato-yeouido-gyukatsu-butter-rice-refill-15-1avrd-900.webp)

I lightly grilled both sides to my liking and took a bite — the outer breading was nutty and the inside stayed juicy and soft. The deep flavor of the butter brought out even more of the beef's natural umami. You could really feel the quality you'd expect from a top Yeouido gyukatsu specialist.

There are plenty of gyukatsu places where the breading is flimsy and crumbles apart when grilled, or the meat is tough and chewy — but the quality at Hurato Sikdang was good enough that I'd want to come back. Certified must-visit 🥰

Since it's already grilled in butter and full of flavor, this gyukatsu was plenty tasty even with light seasoning! Personally, I thought it was best dipped in salt.

## The steak set and free rice refills at Hurato Sikdang Yeouido

Next up was the steak set. Beef sliced to just the right thickness, with clear grain and fresh-looking texture! Just like the gyukatsu, you grill it yourself on the mini brazier to your liking.

Eating some salad along the way keeps it from feeling heavy so you can eat a lot!

I honestly didn't expect much from the steak set, but it was better than expected. Good meat quality, and just right to eat with rice. Another great thing about Hurato Sikdang... rice refills! A lot of places charge extra for more rice, so free refills were really satisfying 😋

Brushing a bit of butter on the plate and grilling gave the meat's surface a glossy sheen as it cooked to a soft finish. With no breading, it was perfect for enjoying the beef's own clean flavor and chewy texture fully! A touch of wasabi dipped in salt, or dipped in the house soy sauce and eaten with rice, balanced out nicely. It had a different, cleaner appeal from the crispy charm of the gyukatsu, and switching between the two worked great.

## Verdict: Hurato Sikdang Yeouido for a gyukatsu meal in Yeouido

A great Yeouido gyukatsu spot for chatting away while grilling gyukatsu and steak on your own brazier! I've had a lot of gyukatsu, but this ranks among the best.
