Retro-style pork cutlet restaurant near Hyochang Park, Seoul: Onjeong

Yongsan Donkatsu Onjeong Gyeongyang Sikdang, Yongsan branch is a Korean Western-style (gyeongyang-sik) pork cutlet restaurant on Baekbeom-ro near Hyochang Park Station in Yongsan, Seoul. Craving the old-fashioned cutlet of childhood, the writer ordered the cheddar cheese pork cutlet for 13,500 won: not a thick Japanese tonkatsu but the familiar retro style, drenched in sauce and eaten with rice. The cheddar adds a nutty richness, so Onjeong's cheddar cheese pork cutlet is a good match for anyone who loves old-school gyeongyang-sik cutlets.
