Japanese beef restaurant at Seoul Station: gyukatsu vs steki, Ichigyu

Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is a Japanese-style beef set-meal restaurant on B1 of the LG Seoul Station Building in Jung-gu, Seoul, where diners grill gyukatsu (beef cutlet) themselves on a personal grill at each table. The writer ordered one gyukatsu set and one steki set (19,500 won each), grilled both in Isigny butter, and found the thinner steki set, whose coating doesn't peel off, a little easier to eat. For a different kind of beef set meal near Seoul Station, ordering both of Ichigyu's signature sets to compare is well worth it.
