# Kiosk side dish refills and a wax swap at Izawa near Yeouido Station - By Hyeju (https://superchart.com/en/@meal-side-street/) - Written Sep 8, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Yeongdeungpo, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after receiving a meal from the business as a sponsored visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@meal-side-street/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@meal-side-street/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/index.md) ## In short Izawa Yeouido Direct Store is a tabletop-grill gyukatsu (breaded beef cutlet) Japanese restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building right by Exit 5 of Yeouido Station in Seoul. The writer ordered the gyukatsu set for 18,000 won, grilled it on a mini charcoal brazier, dipped it in wasabi, yuzu sauce and soy sauce, ordered extra salad through the kiosk, and had a staff member proactively swap in fresh wax when the fire weakened. With its clean interior and attentive service, it's a solid pick for a Yeouido lunch or dinner date. ## Good to know - **Address**: 42 Yeouinaru-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 203 - **Hours**: 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–17:00) - **Parking**: 1-hour free ground parking on the 1st floor (underground parking is paid) - **Location**: 2nd floor of the building right in front of Yeouido Station Exit 5 - **Steki set**: ₩18,000 - **Gyukatsu set**: ₩18,000 - **Gyukatsu double set**: ₩33,000 - **Pork jowl bowl (dontoro-tong)**: ₩13,500 - **Gyudon (beef rice bowl)**: ₩12,000 - **Karai ramen (spicy ramen)**: ₩12,000 - **Basil ramen**: ₩12,000 - **Mazesoba**: ₩12,000 - **Pan-momil (cold buckwheat noodles)**: ₩9,500 - **Double pan-momil**: ₩14,000 - **Curry udon**: ₩13,000 - **Set menu (gyukatsu + gyukatsu + drink)**: ₩36,500 - **Sides**: Mini curry ₩4,000, extra steki beef ₩15,000, extra gyukatsu beef ₩15,000, rice ₩1,000 - **Drinks**: Highball (original) ₩10,000, Sapporo draft ₩7,900 (3+1 promotion) - **Seating**: Window seats for two, solo seats, and tables for four - **Ordering**: Kiosk ordering, including side dish refills *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* Address: 42 Yeouinaru-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 203 Hours: 11:00–21:00 (break time 15:00–17:00) Parking: ground-floor lot (underground parking is paid) ![A piece of gyukatsu at Izawa Yeouido Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-01-1eqa6-966.webp) Already a well-known Yeouido spot you can trust — Izawa is the perfect place for a date ![Gyukatsu table spread inside Izawa](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-02-aaypc-966.webp) How famous is it?

Not long after, my gyukatsu arrived — fast-food speed! ![A vividly red gyukatsu set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-18-1ichn-1200.webp) Just look at this gyukatsu, so vividly red ♥️ On the plate: salad, wasabi, pickled ginger, ![Plate with salad, wasabi, and pickled ginger](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-19-bxf0d-966.webp) ...yuzu sauce, soy sauce, dried radish greens, and cubed radish kimchi as side dishes ![Yuzu sauce, soy sauce, dried radish greens, and radish kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-20-1gqlj-966.webp) ...plus a generous serving of soup and rice. After checking out the spread, I got straight to grilling 🥩 Writing this now makes me want to eat it again..🥹 That sizzling sound is insane — pure ASMR that gets my saliva going 🫢 The evenly grilled gyukatsu... ![Gyukatsu grilled evenly on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-21-67nuc-966.webp) ## Salt, yuzu sauce, soy sauce — but wasabi is still the essential Dipping it in the salt on the table was delicious too, and the combo with soy sauce and yuzu sauce was excellent as well, but wasabi is still the essential! The nose-clearing fresh wasabi paired with the juicy, tender, melting gyukatsu was a perfect match ❤️ ![A piece of gyukatsu topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-22-1s308-966.webp) ## Side dishes refilled via kiosk, wax swapped without asking If I ran out of side dishes while eating, I could easily order more through the kiosk ![Extra salad ordered through the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-23-qnddy-966.webp) ...so I requested extra salad and enjoyed it alongside my meal. Midway through the meal, without me asking, a staff member noticed the fire had weakened and added fresh wax, so I could finish eating warm to the very end! So thoughtful 🫶🏻 ![The table at Izawa after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa/yeouido-gyukatsu-kiosk-refill-izawa-24-2ukkq-966.webp) The restaurant is clean, the food is excellent, and the staff are super kind, so I highly recommend Izawa as a great Yeouido date spot.
