Three diners shared double gyukatsu, Yamagata minced curry, and soft-set omurice, grilling the beef to their preferred doneness at individual braziers. Verdict: Arrive before lunch queues for a satisfying meal before a KTX trip. ## Good to know - **Location**: B1 of Seoul Square - **Queue at visit**: 12 parties at around 12 PM - **Group size**: 3 people - **Seating**: Tables appeared able to seat up to 8 when joined (writer's estimate) - **Ordered**: Yamagata minced curry, soft-set omurice, and double gyukatsu *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* Do you know the three great foods? Spicy stir-fried pork, sundae-guk (Korean blood-sausage soup), and pork cutlet—LEGO. A list no Korean could possibly dislike! And among all those cutlets, I went for gyukatsu (Japanese-style beef cutlet)! I remembered having truly delicious gyukatsu on my Kyoto trip this year, so when I found the gyukatsu hotspot Furato Shokudo at Seoul Square, I rushed right over. ![Visiting Furato Shokudo at Seoul Square](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-01-13ilf-900.webp) ![Visiting Furato Shokudo at Seoul Square](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-02-1o6d6-900.webp) ## What are the lunch queues at Seoul Square like? Furato Shokudo is located on B1 of Seoul Square. Since Seoul Square is a lunchtime mecca for nearby office workers, you have to head over at a brisk pace as soon as lunch starts if you want to avoid the queue. ![Furato Shokudo on B1 of Seoul Square](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-03-ca1t5-900.webp) I arrived around 12 PM, and there were already 12 parties waiting! Since gyukatsu is grilled at the table, the wait can get long once it starts, so I recommend getting there quickly. ![Furato Shokudo menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-04-1wmo7-776.webp) ## More than gyukatsu: the menu and seating Beyond gyukatsu, there are rice bowls, omurice, and udon, so the menu has plenty of choice—and that makes a food fiend like me very happy. I have not tried the udon or cold soba yet, but I need to come back soon and demolish them. ![Gyukatsu and Japanese menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-05-y56gh-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu and Japanese menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-06-1jtyh-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu and Japanese menu options](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-07-bln39-900.webp) There were more tables inside than I expected. It looked like joined tables could seat up to eight people. I came with a modest group of three. ![Table seating inside Furato Shokudo](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-08-10my6-900.webp) ![Table seating inside Furato Shokudo](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-09-jq9lp-900.webp) ## Grilling gyukatsu on your own brazier The joy of gyukatsu is sizzling it up yourself. Every table has a brazier. When you order gyukatsu, a staff member comes over and lights the fire 🔥. From then on, it is time to enjoy. Yarr. ![Individual gyukatsu brazier at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-10-1t21d-900.webp) ![Individual gyukatsu brazier at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-11-15gyh-900.webp) ## Yamagata minced curry Can you see those plump shrimp? They were seriously huge and crispy. With the curry, the deliciousness doubled! A poached egg came as a side dish, too. And that pickle? Yellow pickled radish? It went so, so well with the curry~~ 👍🏻👍🏻 ![Yamagata minced curry with crispy shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-12-z9vax-900.webp) ## Soft-set omurice and the signature sauce The omurice was delicious too... (I am not cursed to only be able to say something is delicious. It really was delicious!) Splitting open that fluffy egg was so fun! The rice was not plain rice either—it was fried rice 👍🏻 I want to try making it at home too; should I give it a go? Hehe. ![Soft-set omurice split open](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-13-1kp47-900.webp) After splitting it open, you pour on the signature sauce, and it paired so well with the egg! Yummy 💦 It seemed ketchup-based, but that is as far as my pretending to know goes... ![Omurice with signature sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-14-1d54g-1200.webp) ![Omurice with signature sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu-15-1b6pz-900.webp) ## Double gyukatsu to share Furato Shokudo's MAIN!! ### Gyukatsu Can you see that glorious, yarr-looking meat? It looked like something I wanted to put straight into my mouth. But the rule is to patiently grill it properly before eating! Since the three of us were sharing nicely, we ordered the double portion. We would have been disappointed with a regular order. Butter is provided too, so you can add some if you like and then sizzle up the gyukatsu. I loved being able to choose(?) how done it was. I am a rare-meat person—the soft kind that just melts away in your mouth 😏 It is super close to Seoul Station, so it would be a great stop before catching the KTX for a trip. Places with individual braziers often feel a little greasy, but Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store was very pleasant and clean without any of that. I recommend the gyukatsu if you are nearby. ## Where it is - Furato Shokudo Seoul Square Direct Store (후라토식당 서울스퀘어 직영점) (후라토식당 서울스퀘어 직영점) - B1F-4, B1, 416 Hangang-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 중구 한강대로 416 지하1층 B1F-4) - 서울특별시 중구 한강대로 416 지하1층 B1F-4 - 37.5557982, 126.9738345 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%9B%84%EB%9D%BC%ED%86%A0%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8%EC%8A%A4%ED%80%98%EC%96%B4%20%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5557982,126.9738345,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seongsu-table-card/seoul-station-omelet-double-gyukatsu/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
