Busan restaurant for huge pork cutlets: Deli Donkatsu

I’ll continue my story from last week’s trip to Busan. I stayed at Ananti Busan, and while looking for good places to eat around East Busan and Osiria, I found that they were gathered around Songjeong. I visited Deli Donkatsu, which is known for delicious pork cutlets in Busan’s Songjeong.

Deli Donkatsu near Songjeong Station and Songjeong Beach

Deli Donkatsu was easy to visit because it is a popular spot near Songjeong Station and Songjeong Beach. Parking was available near the restaurant too, so it was convenient. The exterior was adorable and pretty from the start, so I was excited.

The interior was also so charming, and you could really feel the owner’s taste. I loved finding such a pretty, delicious restaurant near Lotte World Adventure Busan, Osiria, and Songjeong Beach. There were bar seats where you could comfortably dine alone and tables for sharing a meal, with plenty of space between them, so the whole meal was very comfortable.

The exterior was beautiful, but the tableware and little decorations all around the restaurant were so cute and pretty that I was happy throughout the meal.

Deli Donkatsu menu and our order

Here is the menu.

In contrast to the cute, pretty restaurant, Deli Donkatsu was such, such good value. A Western-style pork cutlet for just ₩9,500—under ₩10,000! ⭐ While we ate, lots of local residents and nearby office workers came in for lunch. If it were near my home, I think I’d go all the time.

• Western-style pork cutlet ₩9,500
• Extra-large Western-style pork cutlet ₩12,500
• Cheese Napolitan spaghetti ₩10,000

Both the Napolitan spaghetti and kimchi fried rice looked so delicious that I could not decide, so I asked the owner. They recommended cheese pork cutlet with kimchi fried rice, or Western-style pork cutlet with cheese Napolitan spaghetti, so we immediately ordered the spaghetti.

From the bread and soup to the extra-large pork cutlet

First, the pre-meal bread and soup arrived. The soup, along with the cabbage and rice that came later, could be refilled. The bread was served warmly toasted, and we enjoyed it so much. From the bread and soup alone, it had that classic Western-style Korean pork-cutlet feeling.

The Western-style pork cutlet we had been waiting for arrived. The photo shows the extra-large portion, and it really had twice as much pork cutlet. My husband, who eats a lot, was very satisfied.

The delicious Western-style pork cutlet came with a moist sauce; it was not heavy at all and was really tasty.

The rice and salad that came alongside it paired perfectly too. After one bite, my husband thought, I’m going to eat a lot of this, and immediately asked for a rice refill. They gave us such a generous amount that we could feel the owner’s warm hospitality.

Sizzling cheese Napolitan spaghetti and spicy sauce

Next was the cheese Napolitan spaghetti, which we also enjoyed so, so much.

The cheese and spaghetti went so well together on the hot, sizzling iron plate. There were sausages inside too! It was the best Napolitan spaghetti I have ever had.

And if you ask the owner, they give you gochu dadaegi (spicy chili seasoning) and spicy pork-cutlet sauce, and they were such a delicious extra! The spicy pork-cutlet sauce was hotter than the dadaegi, and it was completely my taste. I think anyone who loves spicy food like I do will definitely love it!

If you are looking for somewhere to eat around Osiria, Lotte World Adventure Busan, or Songjeong Beach, I highly recommend Deli Donkatsu!!
