The writer ordered the Jeongseong Mixed Katsu Set (₩13,000) with hirekatsu, rosukatsu, and fried shrimp, plus kimchi cheese nabe (₩13,000) mixed with rice. The hirekatsu stayed juicy and tender, and the cheese mellowed the nabe's spice enough to bring a kid along comfortably. ## Good to know - **Location**: 222 Seobudaeseong-ro, 1st floor, Chuncheon, Gangwon, South Korea / 3-minute walk from Gangwon National University's back gate - **Hours**: Weekdays 09:00–23:00, weekends 10:00–22:00 - **Service**: Takeout, delivery, takeout discount - **Ordered**: Jeongseong Mixed Katsu Set ₩13,000, Kimchi Cheese Nabe ₩13,000 - **Menu prices**: Western-style king tonkatsu ₩13,000 / Sasami katsu (loin) ₩12,000 / Sweet potato cheese katsu ₩14,000 / Aglio olio, garlic chiffle, cream pasta ₩9,900 each / Fish cake udon ₩8,900 / Icy cold soba ₩7,900 / Gyudon ₩10,500 / Tonkatsu curry rice bowl ₩10,500 / Buffalo wings ₩5,000 / Karaage ₩4,000 - **Seating & amenities**: Plenty of tables, baby chairs available, indoor restroom, separate sink, table-order system - **Review event**: Naver photo review rewards by count — 1 review: drink, 2 reviews: 2 pieces of sasami katsu, 3 reviews: full order of cold soba *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Table spread of tonkatsu dishes at Jeongseong Katsu Chuncheon Hyoja Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-01-1xtpf-1200.webp) I went to eat tonkatsu near Gangwon National University. Thick, tender hirekatsu and savory rosukatsu, plus a spicy kimchi nabe on the side made for a filling meal.

The restroom is inside the restaurant, which is convenient, and there's a separate sink on one side that's great for washing your hands before and after eating. ![Table-order screen with ordering instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-06-v0h30-900.webp) ![Sign explaining the Naver photo review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-07-1locl-900.webp) ### Table-order ordering and the photo review event I ordered through the table-order system. There was a Naver photo review event running, where the perks grow bigger with more participation, so I joined in :) - 1 review: a drink - 2 reviews: 2 pieces of sasami katsu - 3 reviews: a full order of cold soba ## Menu and prices ![Jeongseong Katsu tonkatsu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-08-1y6za-906.webp) ![Menu board listing pasta and noodle dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-09-o7nis-905.webp) ![Price list for rice bowls and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-10-190xz-m-905.webp) ![Detailed page of the Jeongseong Katsu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-11-1raur-905.webp) - Western-style king tonkatsu ₩13,000 - Sasami katsu (loin) ₩12,000 - Sweet potato cheese katsu ₩14,000 - Aglio olio pasta ₩9,900 - Garlic chiffle pasta ₩9,900 - Cream pasta ₩9,900 - Fish cake udon ₩8,900 - Icy cold soba ₩7,900 - Gyudon ₩10,500 - Tonkatsu curry rice bowl ₩10,500 - Buffalo wings ₩5,000 - Karaage ₩4,000 From tonkatsu to noodles and rice bowls, there was a good range to choose from depending on your mood. And being near a university, the prices were really reasonable too. ![Full table setting of the mixed katsu set and kimchi cheese nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-12-qc4yi-791.webp) I ordered two dishes: the Jeongseong Mixed Katsu Set (₩13,000) and the Kimchi Cheese Nabe (₩13,000). ## How does the hirekatsu and rosukatsu taste in the Jeongseong Mixed Katsu Set? ![The Jeongseong Mixed Katsu Set with two kinds of sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-13-1gi4u-966.webp) The set came with rosukatsu, hirekatsu, fried shrimp, yogurt salad, miso soup, and rice — a satisfying full meal. I wondered why there were two sauces, but it turned out the one in the bowl was Japanese-style curry haha. Great for dipping the katsu in, and later mixing into the rice for curry rice. ![Hirekatsu showing its pink cross-section](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-14-7guck-966.webp) The pink-tinted tenderloin looked soft just by sight, so my chopsticks went there first. ![A bite-sized piece of hirekatsu picked up with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-15-vj567-900.webp) One bite in, the juices were moist and it wasn't dry at all — very tender. ![Tonkatsu served with salt and wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-16-wou7t-900.webp) It had a clean flavor, so even with just a bit of salt, or dipped in wasabi, it was delicious without any greasiness. The loin cutlet also had a crispy coating and a nutty, flavorful taste that I really enjoyed. ## How spicy is the kimchi cheese nabe? ![Kimchi cheese nabe topped generously with cheese, served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-17-11712-900.webp) The kimchi nabe, with cheese piled generously on top of the red broth, came with rice. The portion was hearty, so it already felt filling before I even started eating. As the cheese melted, it stretched out in long pulls — the visual was absolutely wild!! ![Cheese stretching out from the kimchi nabe](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-18-pku6c-900.webp) With the rich cheese mixed into the kimchi nabe broth, the spiciness mellowed out and it went really well with rice. There was a spicy kick, but it wasn't too hot — even someone sensitive to spice, or a kid, could enjoy it. ![Rice mixed into the kimchi nabe broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-19-16qdm-788.webp) ![Cross-section of a thick tonkatsu cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-20-ibg3i-689.webp) The meat was so thick that just the tonkatsu alone was filling, but mixing rice into the kimchi nabe on top of that left me completely stuffed. ### The sasami katsu from the review event ![Sasami katsu received from the review event](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-21-1httq-900.webp) I also tried the sasami katsu I got for participating in the review event. ![Chicken tenderloin sasami katsu served with wasabi sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-22-qka4j-828.webp) Since it's chicken tenderloin, I thought it might be dry, but it was surprisingly tender. The sauce had a light wasabi flavor, so it was tasty without any heaviness. ![Table at Jeongseong Katsu after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-23-vcns0-935.webp) ## Who should you go with? With such a varied and clean menu, this feels like a place that works no matter who you're with or when you visit — I'd recommend it if you're looking for tonkatsu near Gangwon National University. It's more than enough for a family meal or a date near Hyoja-dong in Chuncheon, and I'd strongly recommend it as a go-to restaurant in Hyoja-dong. ![Final photo of Jeongseong Katsu Chuncheon Hyoja Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu-24-kb79v-900.webp) ## Where it is - Jeongseong Katsu Chuncheon Hyoja Branch (정성카츠 춘천효자점) - 222 Seobudaeseong-ro, 1st floor, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 춘천시 서부대성로 222 1층 - 37.8733241, 127.7426753 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A0%95%EC%84%B1%EC%B9%B4%EC%B8%A0%20%EC%B6%98%EC%B2%9C%ED%9A%A8%EC%9E%90%EC%A0%90/@37.8733241,127.7426753,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@pot-lid-detours/jeongseong-katsu-chuncheon-hyoja-hirekatsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
