Sweet potato cheese katsu at a Pyeongdong donkatsu spot: Jinsim King
Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch is a Western-style pork cutlet (donkatsu) restaurant near Pyeongdong Station in Gwangsan, Gwangju, where workers from the nearby industrial complex come for lunch. The order was gochidon, a cutlet piled with sweet potato mousse, and Jinsim Jjol Cheese Katsu, which brings jjolmyeon (chewy cold noodles) and cheese donkatsu on one plate, with self-serve lettuce wraps cutting the richness; a basic donkatsu is 10,900 won. Portions are so big that Jinsim King Donkatsu keeps a self-packing station by the door — generous and genuinely tasty.
