Stopping in on a weekday at 7pm on the way home from the in-laws, the writer was seated with no wait and ordered Set 4 (gyukatsu + hamburg steak + 2 drinks). The sirloin gyukatsu, grilled on a tabletop brazier with Isigny butter and dipped in salt, was the best part, while the griddled chopped steak tasted comfortingly familiar in its ketchup-based sauce. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1, LG Seoul Station Building, a 10-minute walk from Seoul Station - **Nearest exit**: Subway Exit 11 - **What was ordered**: Set 4 (gyukatsu + hamburg steak + 2 drinks) - **Visit time**: Weekday 7pm, seated with no wait - **Seating**: Plenty of tables for two and four - **Rice**: Generous portion, free refills - **Restroom**: None inside the restaurant; use the building restroom to the left of the escalator *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Gyukatsu and griddled steki table setting at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-01-1lswz-1200.webp) My husband had to work over Chuseok, so I visited his parents' place ahead of time. By the time I got to Seoul Station it was dinnertime and I was starving. I still had a long subway ride home ahead of me, and I knew I'd be way too hungry by the time I got there, so I looked up good restaurants near Seoul Station. I found a gyukatsu place where you could eat something quick and simple, so I went to Ichigyu. Here's the full review! ## Where Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is and how to get there ![Street view near Seoul Station Exit 11](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-02-18lni-900.webp) Ichigyu is about a 10-minute walk from Seoul Station. Coming out of Subway Exit 11 was the closest route. ![Exterior view of the LG Seoul Station Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-03-iiczb-900.webp) ![Main entrance of the LG Seoul Station Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-04-ut50y-900.webp) It's located inside the LG Seoul Station Building. Go in through the main entrance, and to the right you'll see an escalator heading down to the basement — take that. ![Escalator leading down to the basement of the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-05-gah6x-900.webp) Turn right past the escalator and Ichigyu is right there! ![Entrance to Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch on B1](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-06-ems3i-900.webp) ![Ichigyu's Japanese-style interior and tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-07-1ntkc-900.webp) ### Weekday 7pm at Ichigyu: atmosphere and seating The place had a strong Japanese vibe, nice atmosphere. There were 2-seat and 4-seat tables, quite a few of them. I visited on a weekday at 7pm and got seated with no wait at all. There's no restroom inside the restaurant, but you can use the one in the building, on the left side of the escalator. ## Ichigyu menu: what comes in Set 4 ![Menu board at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-08-1qm28-900.webp) ![Menu board listing the gyukatsu sets](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-09-lpj2s-900.webp) We ordered Set 4 from the set menus. It's gyukatsu + hamburg steak + 2 drinks. Since the set gives you an extra drink for basically the same price, ordering a set is the better deal. ## How were the gyukatsu and the griddled chopped steak? ![A bowl of rice served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-10-1g2s1-900.webp) ![Table set with rice and basic side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-11-3ao5q-900.webp) Rice came out first, and the portion was generous. They said refills were available too. ![Gyukatsu served with a tabletop brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-12-1htr2-900.webp) ![Seoul Station gyukatsu Set 4 with griddled steki, weekday 7pm no wait at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-13-8r02s-900.webp) First up is Ichigyu's signature dish, the sirloin gyukatsu. ### Sirloin gyukatsu grilled with Isigny butter The gyukatsu comes out fried crisp on the outside but medium-rare inside, so you grill it piece by piece on the brazier at your table. The flame was strong, so it cooked fast — and it stayed hot enough all the way through the meal, which I liked. They serve it with a fancy French Isigny butter on the side. We tried grilling it both with and without butter, and grilling with butter was definitely tastier! Also, without the Isigny butter, the meat kept sticking to the brazier, making it hard to grill... haha. ![Gyukatsu grilled on the brazier with salt and wasabi sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-14-iotvu-900.webp) The crispy fried coating against the tender sirloin texture was great. There are salt, wasabi, and a special sauce to dip it in, but personally, salt was the tastiest for me. ![Griddled steki in a ketchup-based sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-15-1q7br-900.webp) ### Griddled chopped steak in a ketchup-based sauce The griddled steki (chopped steak) had a ketchup-based sauce flavor. It wasn't your typical steak sauce taste — it tasted like ketchup, so it was a familiar flavor. ![Griddled steki topped with a fried egg and garlic flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak/seoul-station-gyukatsu-set-four-chopsteak-16-11t4g-900.webp) On top there were garlic flakes and a fried egg, plus a surprising amount of ham mixed in. Beyond just the hamburg steak itself, you got to enjoy a variety of flavors. ## Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch in one line - If you're looking for good food near Seoul Station - If you love gyukatsu - If you're looking for a date spot near Seoul Station I'd recommend Ichigyu, a great restaurant near Seoul Station!
