We walked straight in at 6 PM on a weekend and tried pork tenderloin cutlet, a cold soba set, and chicken cutlet for 14,000–17,000 won. Verdict: the tender chicken cutlet with tartar sauce is a must-order. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Kkot Gatsu pork cutlet ₩14,000; chicken cutlet ₩14,000; cold soba set ₩17,000 - **Cold soba set tenderloin**: 100 g - **Parking**: Roadside parking nearby, the building lot, or 90 minutes free at Mok-dong public parking - **Wait**: Walked straight in around 6 PM on a weekend with about three seats available *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* ## Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch location and parking ![Exterior and parking information for Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-01-1xp5a-900.webp) Kkot Gatsu is located around Mok-dong in Dongtan 2. You can park along the roadside nearby, and I heard there is also a dedicated parking lot in the building! If those are full, the nearby Mok-dong public parking lot reportedly offers 90 minutes of free parking. It is only a one-minute walk away, so parking should not be too difficult. ## Weekend evening interior and wait ![Waiting area at Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-02-1ndmv-900.webp) If there is a wait, you put your name down and enter when it is your turn. We visited around 6 PM on a weekend, and there were about three seats available, so we got in right away. ![Kkot Gatsu interior with wood-tone lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-03-eimry-900.webp) The wood tones and soft lighting give the interior a comfortable feel. The mix of guests was really varied too: families with young children, couples, groups, and people dining with their parents. It was the sort of place where anyone of any age could feel at ease! ## Self-service bar and takeaway containers ![Self-service bar by the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-04-6os2z-900.webp) There is a small self-service bar by the entrance! Feel free to help yourselves to any extra side dishes you need. What especially caught my eye were the self-service takeaway containers! Once we actually ate, the portions were quite generous 🫢 It was handy that we could pack leftovers ourselves, and we put our remaining pork cutlets into a takeaway container too. ![Self-service containers for packing leftovers](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-05-cvuow-900.webp) ## The cutlets and cold soba set we ordered ![Kkot Gatsu menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-06-w129i-900.webp) Kkot Gatsu uses pork aged for 10 days, creating a rich, deep savoriness ✨ We wanted to try a variety of dishes, so we ordered a few different things! - Kkot Gatsu pork cutlet ₩14,000 - Chicken cutlet ₩14,000 - Cold soba set ₩17,000 Okay—let's dig in 😋 ## Kkot Gatsu's signature tenderloin cutlet ![Kkot Gatsu signature tenderloin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-07-11yja-900.webp) ![Plated Kkot Gatsu tenderloin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-08-106x6-900.webp) Kkot Gatsu's signature pork tenderloin cutlet! I fell for the presentation first. This signature tenderloin cutlet captures the essence of Kkot Gatsu, with juicy tenderloin and a soft grain. Its texture was tender and its exterior crisp, so I could see why it is the restaurant's signature dish 😀 ![Crisp Kkot Gatsu tenderloin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-09-jbrw3-900.webp) ![Juicy, tender-grained tenderloin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-10-1fjy9-900.webp) ![Tenderloin cutlet with fluffy rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-11-hsqld-890.webp) And the rice is delicious!! Honestly, when the rice is good, it feels like you are already halfway to a great meal. It was nicely fluffy and separate 👍👍 ## A cold soba set for when cutlets feel too heavy ![Tenderloin and cold soba set](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-12-8n0un-900.webp) ![Generous cold soba set](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-13-1x0sk-900.webp) ![Tenderloin cutlet in the cold soba set](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-14-wo032-900.webp) ![A bowl of refreshing cold soba](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-15-yrvbc-900.webp) If pork cutlets feel a little too heavy, I recommend the cold soba set too. Even with 100 g of tenderloin, it is substantial and surprisingly filling 🫢🫢 ![Generous assortment in the cold soba set](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-16-xm2hs-900.webp) ![Cold soba with radish and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-17-118u1-900.webp) The refreshing cold memil (buckwheat noodles) had just the right amount of radish and wasabi, making for a great combination. This is a dish to enjoy quickly before summer is over!! ## My favorite chicken cutlet, chosen instead of fish cutlet ![Crisp Kkot Gatsu chicken cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-18-d7dyr-900.webp) ![The ordered chicken cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-19-11asx-900.webp) And then there was the chicken cutlet I enjoyed most ✨ I had actually planned to order the fish cutlet, but it was sold out, so this was our substitute. But wow, what if I had not ordered it!! It became my favorite 💛 Not only was it crisp, but the meat inside was unbelievably tender!! When I traveled in Japan before, I went to a place that was famous as a real foodie destination and had even been featured on Choo Sung-hoon's YouTube channel. This was so delicious that it was genuinely comparable to that place. ![Chicken cutlet with a tender interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-20-1l1mm-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the chicken cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-21-3jnkj-900.webp) ![Chicken cutlet and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-22-1sedo-900.webp) ![Chicken cutlet with tartar sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-23-6szne-900.webp) The chicken cutlet comes with tartar sauce, and the combination was insane!! I enjoyed this chicken cutlet so much—please make sure you try it 👍👍👍 ![Packed leftover pork cutlets](https://img.superchart.com/images/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu-24-y9gqz-900.webp) There was so much that we could not finish it all, so we neatly packed it up to take home :) It had been a while since I last had katsu (breaded cutlet), and the chicken cutlet was seriously so good that I think I will come back again 😋✨ What a delicious meal. ## Where it is - Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch (꽃가츠 동탄본점) - 33 Wangbaesan 3-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 왕배산3길 33 1층 - 37.1810465, 127.1256887 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%BD%83%EA%B0%80%EC%B8%A0%20%EB%8F%99%ED%83%84%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.1810465,127.1256887,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meal-calendar/dongtan-chicken-katsu-kkotgatsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
