The truffle mixed katsu set brings pork loin, fillet and cheese katsu with curry, while the pork jowl set comes with a whole piece of jowl fried in one go, and a review event adds free shrimp tempura. The frying at Jeongseong Katsu is good enough to eat without any sauce, making it a solid value tonkatsu spot in Chuncheon. ## Good to know - **Address**: 10-8 Toegye-ro 93beon-gil, 1st floor, units 101 and 102, Chuncheon, Gangwon - **Hours**: 09:00-21:00 - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; street parking nearby - **Ordering**: Kiosk ordering and payment at each table - **Seating**: Solo seats and 4-person tables - **Ordered**: Truffle mixed katsu set, pork jowl set - **Review event**: Free shrimp tempura for writing a review *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Representative photo of tonkatsu at Jeongseong Katsu Chuncheon Toegye Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-01-c9klv-1200.webp) Here's my review of Jeongseong Katsu, a well-known spot in Toegye-dong, Chuncheon. There are two Jeongseong Katsu locations in Chuncheon, and since I was craving crispy tonkatsu that day, I went to the closer Toegye branch. ![Exterior of Jeongseong Katsu in Toegye-dong, Chuncheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-02-1up64-852.webp) ## Where is Jeongseong Katsu Chuncheon Toegye Branch, and is there parking? There was no dedicated parking lot for this Toegye-dong favorite, so I parked nearby for a bit and headed straight in. - 10-8 Toegye-ro 93beon-gil, 1st floor, units 101 and 102, Chuncheon, Gangwon, South Korea - Hours: 09:00-21:00 ![Menu board showing tonkatsu, noodles, and rice bowl dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-03-hd3rf-900.webp) ## Menu and what the restaurant looks like inside The menu was pretty varied — starting with tonkatsu, but also noodles and rice bowls, plus individual dishes and the popular set meals, so there was a wide range to choose from, which I liked. ![Interior seating at Jeongseong Katsu with solo and 4-person tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-04-xama4-900.webp) Going further inside, there were solo seats, good for eating alone, as well as standard 4-person tables, great for groups or family meals. Maybe because it's such a popular dish among men, there were quite a few solo male diners, plus some grown-ups with kids too. ![Order kiosk placed on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-05-ytzww-900.webp) Each table had a kiosk, so you could order and pay right there. We ordered the truffle mixed katsu set and the pork jowl set. ![Full spread of the truffle mixed katsu set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-06-1014a-966.webp) ## What comes with the truffle mixed katsu set The truffle mixed set arrived — doesn't it look crispy just from the photo? It came with loin, fillet, and cheese katsu, plus curry to go with the rice, a refreshing salad, kimchi pickles, and wasabi and salt for dipping. The cheese stretched beautifully and there was a generous amount of it, which made for great crispy bites — the frying itself was so tasty you honestly didn't need to dip it in sauce. ![Cheese katsu with stretchy melted cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-07-1nr0y-900.webp) ### Fillet katsu with salt, loin katsu with curry I tried the fillet with salt — the salty seasoning made the fillet katsu taste even cleaner and more delicious. The round shape was also pretty cute. ![Round fillet katsu dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-08-8en25-900.webp) No dryness at all — the inside was soft, and there wasn't a hint of gamey pork smell. This seems like a tonkatsu kids would love. ![Cross-section of soft, tender fillet katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-09-1693v-900.webp) The loin was also great dipped in the curry sauce. Personally, the curry itself was so good that ![Loin katsu dipped in curry sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-10-17zfj-900.webp) it was perfect for mixing into rice too. If you just add extra curry and eat it with rice, I think kids would love that on its own. If your portion isn't enough, getting extra curry to mix with rice would hit the spot. ![Rice mixed with curry sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-11-ce85h-900.webp) I also had a sip of the light broth, and it was so good I feel like their udon would be tasty too. ## Pork jowl set: a whole jowl fried in one piece Next came the pork jowl katsu, which was served with a lemon, so I squeezed the fresh lemon over it first. ![Pork jowl katsu set served with lemon](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-12-1t840-900.webp) It looked like the pork jowl was fried whole, and the savory fat combined with the meat gave it a really great texture. Dipping it in the curry made the flavor even better. ![A piece of whole fried pork jowl katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-13-1e3jf-900.webp) They also served a cabbage salad topped with a spicy sauce, which cut through the richness of the pork jowl nicely — the crunchy shredded cabbage paired really well with it. ![Cabbage salad topped with spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-14-x0mkh-900.webp) With a little clean wasabi on top, it was also good for a lighter, more refreshing bite. ![Pork jowl katsu topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-15-y3s5c-900.webp) ## Free shrimp tempura from the review event Writing a review also got us shrimp tempura as an event bonus — freshly fried and crispy, it looked incredibly delicious. ![Shrimp tempura given as a review event bonus](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-16-558d5-900.webp) And it really was. The shrimp meat inside was plump, and thanks to frying it crispy all the way to the tail, I enjoyed every bit down to the tail. Personally, I'd recommend dipping it in the sauce. ![Shrimp tempura fried crispy all the way to the tail](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set-17-18m1s-900.webp) Jeongseong Katsu, a Toegye-dong favorite in Chuncheon — maybe because everything is fried with real care, every single dish was genuinely delicious. Join the review event and you get shrimp tempura on the house too, making this a really great-value tonkatsu spot in Chuncheon. ## Where it is - Jeongseong Katsu Chuncheon Toegye Branch (정성카츠 춘천퇴계점) - 10-8 Toegye-ro 93beon-gil, 1st floor, units 101 and 102, Chuncheon, Gangwon, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 춘천시 퇴계로93번길 10-8 1층 101, 102호 - 37.8622735, 127.7319408 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%84%B1%EC%B9%B4%EC%B8%A0%20%EC%B6%98%EC%B2%9C%ED%87%B4%EA%B3%84%EC%A0%90/@37.8622735,127.7319408,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meal-by-meal-5/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-truffle-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
