Amsa Station tonkatsu that sells out: 20-minute weekday wait at Tonka
Tonka is a Japanese-style tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) restaurant in Gangdong, Seoul, about 5 minutes on foot from Exit 4 of Amsa Station. Arriving at 7:10pm on a weekday meant a 15–20 minute wait for the basic tonkatsu at 15,000 won, served with both loin and tenderloin, and Tonka ran out of meat for the two parties that came in right after. The batter at Tonka stayed cracker-crisp and never turned greasy, making it worth keeping as a neighborhood tonkatsu option.
