## Where is Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch, and what is it like inside?

Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch is on the first floor of the Geumgang Plaza building in Gojan-dong, Ansan, open daily from 11:30 to 21:00 (best to check last order times before visiting). It has a counter (tachi) table setup that's perfect for solo dining, and orders are placed via kiosk.

If you often pass by the courthouse area or the Culture Plaza in Gojan-dong, Ansan, you've probably noticed the exterior full of Japanese-restaurant vibes on the first floor of Geumgang Plaza. From the small, tidy front, it already gives off that distinct feel of a real local restaurant in Japan.

![Entrance of Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch with a Japanese-restaurant feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set-07-6jk0k-900.webp)

Once you step inside, the whole restaurant is an L-shaped open-kitchen counter table. Each seat has cozy lighting overhead, so you can watch the chef cook right in front of you while you eat.

This counter setup makes it the perfect hideout both for people working in Gojan-dong who come in for a solo lunch, and for anyone wanting a quiet evening of good Japanese food with a beer. Just tuck your coat or bag into the space under your chair or on the hooks behind you, and settle in comfortably.

Ordering is simple via the kiosk near the entrance. And here's one of Gin Jaryoko's special perks: a free upgrade to 1.5 servings of rice or noodles on every menu item! If you're extra hungry that day or you're a big eater, make sure to select the 1.5-portion upgrade when ordering at the kiosk!

### What the self bar at Gin Jaryoko offers: miso soup, kimchi, pickled radish

At the self bar of Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch, you can help yourself to miso soup, kimchi, and pickled radish. Once you've placed your order, everything is neatly set up on one side of the restaurant.

Unlike the bland miso soup at typical Japanese restaurants, this one has seaweed in it and has an impressively deep, savory flavor. It's perfect for warming up your stomach right before the cutlet arrives. The kimchi is also spicy and crunchy in a way that cuts right through any greasiness, making it a fantastic match with the cutlet.

## The demiglace pork cutlet set: what comes on the tray and how it tastes

Gin Jaryoko's signature demiglace pork cutlet set comes with 3 pieces of thick, crispy-fried loin cutlet, 2 potato croquettes, 1 jumbo shrimp tempura, a fresh salad, and warm rice.

![Full spread of the demiglace pork cutlet set](https://img.superchart.com/images/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set-11-14dhj-900.webp)

Finally, the true star of Gin Jaryoko I'd been waiting and waiting for — the demiglace pork cutlet set — arrived! The moment it's set on the table, the aroma of that perfect sauce and its overwhelming visual presence make you gasp involuntarily. Even the sheer size of the plate is fun just to look at.

### 🥩 How the demiglace sauce works with the juicy loin cutlet

![Cross-section of pork cutlet soaked in demiglace sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set-14-1nznr-900.webp)

![A piece of demiglace pork cutlet with yellow mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set-15-1r6n6-900.webp)

Gin Jaryoko's demiglace sauce has a depth on a completely different level from typical Western-style or Japanese pork cutlet sauces. With cream mixed in, it's smooth and nutty, while still carrying that rich, deep demiglace umami that wraps pleasantly around your tongue. Even though the sauce is poured on generously and soaks into the meat, it's amazing how the cutlet still stays crispy and springy.

The meat itself is thick yet tender, so it's a texture even kids or older folks can enjoy without any fuss. You might worry the rich sauce could feel too heavy, but that's when I'd strongly recommend the touch of yellow mustard sauce placed on the side of the plate — dab it right on top of the cutlet! The sharp mustard maximizes the demiglace flavor even further while leaving a clean finish.

### 🍤 Set-only extras at Gin Jaryoko: potato croquettes and jumbo fried shrimp

The side dishes included in the set are also really satisfying. The freshly fried potato croquette, when pressed lightly with chopsticks, cracks open on the outside to reveal creamy melted potato inside.

And the jumbo shrimp tempura has that plump, chunky shrimp texture that's just so good, it makes you think again and again how glad you are you ordered the set.

## Is the fish cutlet (fish fry) set at Gin Jaryoko worth ordering?

Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch's fish cutlet set (fish fry set) comes with 3 pieces of thick fish cutlet, tartar sauce, jumbo shrimp tempura, salad, and rice. Usually at a pork cutlet specialty restaurant you'd default to ordering the meat cutlet, but if I had to name the surprise best menu item at Gin Jaryoko, I'd say without hesitation it's this fish cutlet set!

![Full spread of Gin Jaryoko's fish cutlet (fish fry) set](https://img.superchart.com/images/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set/ginza-ryoko-ansan-gojan-fish-katsu-set-17-1tzzx-900.webp)

### 🐟 Thick fish cutlets that melt in your mouth

If you're picturing the dryness of frozen fish cutlets from the supermarket or a typical restaurant, you're in for a big surprise! Gin Jaryoko's fish cutlet is noticeably thicker, and one bite reveals white fish flesh inside the batter so moist and soft it practically melts away. There's no fishy smell whatsoever — just a light, clean flavor that's outstanding.

### 🥗 Why the house tartar sauce makes the fish cutlet set

The heart of a fish cutlet is, of course, the tartar sauce, right? Gin Jaryoko's tartar sauce isn't greasy at all — it's bright and fresh, with a lovely crunchy texture from the ingredients mixed in. It perfectly cancels out any heaviness that fried food can bring, so you can finish it down to the last bite without ever getting tired of it.

If you're a fan of fish cutlet, I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied with this dish!

## What other popular dishes does Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch serve?

Besides pork cutlet and fish cutlet, Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch offers a wide variety of Japanese dishes to pick from depending on your mood. Let me introduce some of the standout popular items.

Sakedon (salmon rice bowl): another one of Gin Jaryoko's signature dishes, served in a bowl so huge it looks like a wash basin! Fresh, thick salmon covers the rice generously, and drizzling on the special house-made soy sauce with a touch of wasabi really brings out the salmon's rich, nutty fattiness.

Mentaiko cream udon: a top-tier udon dish topped with thick, smooth cream sauce, salty, pop-in-your-mouth mentaiko (seasoned pollock roe), and a poached egg. The chewy udon noodles are perfectly coated in the cream sauce, making it especially popular with fellow readers who love cream pasta or udon.

Katsu curry rice / spicy beef curry rice: recommended when you're craving a rich, deep, slow-simmered Japanese-style curry. Topped with crispy katsu or spicy beef, it's a dish that makes for an easy, satisfying bowl of rice.

## Tips before visiting Gin Jaryoko in Gojan-dong, Ansan

- Watch out for peak-hour waits: as a favorite in Gojan-dong's main shopping district in Ansan, the counter seats fill up fast with local office workers and regulars during lunch (12–1pm) and evening rush hour. If you want to eat without waiting, I'd recommend coming right at opening, after 1pm, or a little earlier in the evening!
- Don't forget the free 1.5-portion upgrade: when ordering rice or noodle dishes, you can upgrade to 1.5 servings for free. Big eaters, make sure to check this box when ordering at the kiosk!
- Never skip the yellow mustard pairing: that dab of yellow mustard on the corner of the demiglace pork cutlet plate isn't just decoration. Add a little to each piece of cutlet, and you'll find the heaviness disappears, leaving only pure umami filling your mouth.

That was my story of Gin Jaryoko Ansan Gojan Branch, the place I head to without hesitation whenever I'm craving genuinely good pork cutlet in Gojan-dong, Ansan. From the demiglace pork cutlet set with its rich, creamy premium sauce, to the fish cutlet set that's crispy outside and melts softly inside — whichever menu you choose, this is a place where you're guaranteed a hearty, happy sense of satisfaction.
