Where is Hunta Euljiro, and what are its hours?

Hours are Monday to Friday 11:00–20:10, with a break time of 15:00–17:00 and last orders at 14:30 and 19:40. It's closed every Saturday and Sunday. Check Naver Place for holiday hours around Chuseok!

Hunta Euljiro is less than 5 minutes from Exit 1 of Euljiro-ipgu Station!! It's on the 1st floor of the Fastfive building~~

Walk straight in through the 1st floor door and it's right at the entrance, so it was easy to find

Solo seats and the best weekday lunch time to avoid the wait

Inside Hunta Euljiro there's everything from 4-person tables to solo seats, so eating alone was comfortable. For weekday lunch, go a bit past 11am to get a relaxed meal.

The interior feels like this!! Neat and clean!! There are seats from 4-tops to solo spots, so eating alone was easy and pleasant. You need to go just past 11am on a weekday lunch to eat comfortably — once it's past 11:30, this Euljiro lunch spot 🫢 is packed with Euljiro office workers. If you come after that you'll probably have to wait

Every table has a guide on how to enjoy it best, plus gaban pepper and shichimi — eating them with the tonkatsu is really... 👍

This is the first time I've seen a kimchi jjigae set at a tonkatsu specialty place, I'm so curious ,,,,,

How was the sangno-seu (premium loin) katsu set?

What I ordered was Hunta Euljiro's sangno-seu (premium loin) katsu set and a Sprite. It came with rice, soup, salad, wasabi, mustard, tonkatsu sauce, salt, and even scallion kimchi.

Here it comes ,, seriously such a beautiful visual ,, I ordered the sangno-seu (premium loin) katsu set + Sprite

Rice, soup, salad, wasabi, mustard, tonkatsu sauce, salt, and even scallion kimchi!! The scallion kimchi really goes well with it ,,,,, 😘❤️

A little looking-time ..

Why gaban pepper was the best condiment for the loin

⭐️How to enjoy Hunta⭐️

• Salt
• Gaban pepper
• Shichimi
• Tonkatsu sauce
• Mustard/wasabi

There's all of that, but my favorite was gaban pepper ㅠㅠ It goes so well with the fatty part of the loin ,, the best 💗

Mustard and wasabi are really good too ,, the meat itself is just so good it tastes great with anything ㅠㅠ

And the rice and soup ,, it was basically beef radish soup. I really mixed rice into that clear soup and had a whole bowl

Can you really see the inside of the meat? A legendary restaurant 🫢 and the staff were kind too .. 👍
