A couple ordered the mixed tonkatsu set (₩17,000) with loin, tenderloin and shrimp katsu and the limited-quantity gabri loin set (₩16,000), both served with a soft fried egg and free refills of rice and soup. Katsu Gimseondo offers no parking, so a nearby paid lot is needed, but the pork is seasoned well enough to leave you full and satisfied. ## Good to know - **Mixed tonkatsu set**: ₩17,000 (loin, tenderloin, shrimp katsu) - **Gabri loin set**: ₩16,000 (limited quantity) - **Cass draft beer**: 300ml for ₩3,000 - **Seating**: 1 two-seat table, 3 four-seat tables, 8 bar seats - **Parking**: No parking available; use a nearby paid lot - **Refills**: Rice and soup are refillable - **Location**: 16 Seojeon-ro 47beon-gil, 1F, Busanjin-gu, Busan, near Jeonpo Fire Station - **Price reference**: ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 · ₩16,000 ≈ $11.5 · ₩3,000 ≈ $2.2 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* Do you know the three soul foods of Korean men? They say it's gukbap (soup with rice), jeyuk bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork), and donkatsu (pork cutlet). My husband loves all three, so we went to Katsu Gimseondo in Jeonpo. Everything was clean and the tonkatsu was tasty, so it made for a nice date-and-dinner outing :) ![Exterior of Katsu Gimseondo in Jeonpo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-01-q5ht9-1200.webp) ## Where is Katsu Gimseondo in Jeonpo, and where do you park? Katsu Gimseondo is right near Jeonpo Fire Station, on Seojeon-ro 47beon-gil in Busanjin-gu. When I visited a few years ago it wasn't at this location — apparently they moved about a year ago. Being right next to the fire station makes it easy to find! The building is nice and clean, haha. There's no parking support, so park at a nearby paid lot. ![Area around the entrance of Katsu Gimseondo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-02-io2aw-900.webp) ![Interior and seating of Katsu Gimseondo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-03-1m2m4-966.webp) ### How many seats does Katsu Gimseondo have? There was one two-top, three four-tops, and 8 bar seats! Not too cramped, not too spacious — just the right size, haha. ## Katsu Gimseondo menu and what we ordered ![Menu board for tonkatsu sets at Katsu Gimseondo](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-04-aw02r-900.webp) *The photos posted on Naver differ from the actual prices! Seems like they raised them.* The two of us ordered like this: - Mixed tonkatsu set (₩17,000) - loin, tenderloin, shrimp katsu - Gabri loin set (₩16,000) - limited quantity We didn't order beer, but Cass draft was ₩3,000 for 300ml. A 500ml can feel like too much when you're already full, so it was nice they sold a 300ml size, haha. ![Water glass sipped while waiting after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-05-1skuk-900.webp) We sipped cold water while waiting. ![Mixed tonkatsu set with three sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-06-ygc47-966.webp) ## Mixed tonkatsu set: three sauces and a soft fried egg The mixed tonkatsu set (₩17,000) comes with three sauces total — tonkatsu sauce, salad sauce, and a dipping sauce for the shrimp katsu, haha. ![Full spread of the mixed tonkatsu set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-07-4020m-966.webp) The mixed set comes with a soft-fried egg on top of the rice! Break it and mix it in 💛 ![Soft-fried egg on top of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-08-17yq0-966.webp) My husband was really happy to see the egg — it was delicious, haha. Rice and soup are refillable, so just ask staff if you need more, haha. ![Shredded cabbage with salad sauce poured over it](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-09-12las-966.webp) They pour the salad sauce over shredded cabbage. The sauce was tangy-sweet and paired really well with the tonkatsu — the kind of taste that makes you wonder how it's made!! ## What does the gabri loin taste like? ![Gabri loin katsu with loin and gabri meat attached](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-10-s3b3p-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the gabri loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-11-wjilo-966.webp) This was my first time eating tonkatsu where the loin and gabri (pork skirt) are attached together — it was tender and delicious 😋 And the whole cutlet had a slight seasoning to it, which made it even better!! Looking at the menu later, it said the meat is aged 180 hours in an ice-temperature chamber and salt-cured for 20 hours — I guess they fry it when the seasoning is at its best. I love tonkatsu where the meat itself is seasoned just right like this, so I give Katsu Gimseondo's meat a passing grade with a medal 🏅 ![Tonkatsu pieces on a plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-12-1wghu-966.webp) ### Tenderloin katsu at Katsu Gimseondo The tenderloin katsu was nice because it wasn't too red, and had a soft texture, haha. ![Cross-section of the soft tenderloin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-13-1k8jj-966.webp) ### Shrimp katsu at Katsu Gimseondo 🍤 The shrimp katsu wasn't a thin shrimp — it was nice and plump inside 🦐 If we'd only eaten tonkatsu it might have felt slightly lacking, but having the shrimp katsu too let us try a variety of flavors, haha. ![Plump shrimp katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-14-1q2o5-966.webp) ![Loin katsu dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set-15-pf0p8-966.webp) ## The best order to eat the loin katsu Since the loin katsu is already seasoned in the meat itself, try it without sauce first, then dip it in sauce afterward! ## Who is Katsu Gimseondo best for? There are several tonkatsu spots worth trying in Jeonpo!! But Katsu Gimseondo does a great job too — the two of us ate until we were really full, the portions are big, haha. I'd recommend it for a date or meeting friends~~ For guys especially, ordering the curry to eat with the rice would probably be even more satisfying. Next time I'm in Jeonpo, I think I'll come back to eat here again~! ## Where it is - Katsu Gimseondo (카츠김선도) - 16 Seojeon-ro 47beon-gil, 1F, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 서전로47번길 16 1층 - 35.1584969, 129.0648729 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%EC%B8%A0%EA%B9%80%EC%84%A0%EB%8F%84/@35.1584969,129.0648729,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@nampo-market-spoon-2/jeonpo-katsu-kimseondo-modeum-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
