Its name was Gyuen Dang (규엔당). It was such a fresh new Seolleung restaurant that it had not even been open for a week yet. ![Exterior of the recently opened Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-02-pqm1q-900.webp) ![Area around the entrance of Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-03-135f5-900.webp) There is a Catchtable waiting-list machine at the entrance, and once inside, I spotted dental floss and Febreze too. (A gyukatsu place absolutely needs Febreze..) ![Restaurant entrance with a waiting-list machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-04-icw58-900.webp) ![Dental floss and Febreze at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-05-f7lm3-900.webp) ![Convenience items at the Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-06-1mktg-900.webp) The interior stretches out in a long layout, with plenty of seats. As you would expect from somewhere newly opened, everything was exceptionally clean and in great condition. The tables are fairly well spaced too, so it seemed like a nice spot for a date where you can talk comfortably. ![Restaurant interior with generously spaced tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-07-1vq3y-900.webp) Along one side of the restaurant, there are bar-style tables facing the walls on both sides, so it also looked very comfortable for dining alone. ## The menu and how to eat gyukatsu ![Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-08-o2vcd-966.webp) I looked over the menu. The signature choices are two kinds of gyukatsu (Japanese breaded beef cutlet): filet and striploin. There are also two kinds of omurice, plus steak rice bowls, tsukune rice bowls, curry, and udon. The fried squid and chicken skin looked incredibly good too, and I seriously debated whether to order them, but this time I decided to try just the gyukatsu. Oh, and orders are placed through the Naver QR code at your table. ![Table QR ordering guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-09-zjrj9-900.webp) ![Ordering guide checked at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-10-10cw8-900.webp) Before eating, take a look at the guide at each table for enjoying gyukatsu and omurice. It says to cook the gyukatsu for about 15–20 seconds on each side. ## Light striploin gyukatsu and truly tender filet gyukatsu ![Filet and striploin gyukatsu order set](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-11-ltvvo-900.webp) My filet gyukatsu and my wife’s striploin gyukatsu arrived. The filet gyukatsu was ₩24,000, while the striploin gyukatsu was ₩19,000. The set includes gyukatsu, rice, soup, pickles (?), butter, wasabi, salt, and salad. ![Gyukatsu set with rice, soup, and salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-12-1k5lz-900.webp) ![A full set of filet and striploin gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-13-1l08s-1200.webp) The filet gyukatsu comes sliced into thick pieces, like the filet cutlet you would normally imagine. The color of the cross-section looked seriously appetizing. ![Thickly sliced filet gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-14-hb9m2-900.webp) The striploin gyukatsu, by comparison, comes cut into longer pieces. Its presentation was no less appetizing. ![Long-cut striploin gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-15-jzaoh-900.webp) For blood-sugar management, I always start a meal with vegetables.. I tried the salad that came with it, and the dressing was wonderfully nutty and delicious. I almost had another bowl, but held back. ![Salad with a nutty dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-16-1snqh-900.webp) ![Salad served before the gyukatsu meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-17-c9wzt-900.webp) Once I confirmed that the grill was heated up enough, I grilled the gyukatsu according to the guide. ![Gyukatsu grilling on a tabletop grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-18-5eqmw-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu grilled according to the guide](https://img.superchart.com/images/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste-19-lubnn-900.webp) My reaction after taking a bite of the filet gyukatsu with wasabi was, “It’s incredibly tender!” It was not merely a little more tender than other beef—it had a truly overwhelmingly tender texture. Since I love enjoying meat with rice, I happily had the filet gyukatsu with plain white rice too. Oh, and the katsu sauce served with it paired really well and was delicious. (It seems to have ginger in it.) Putting it on the butter and grilling it over the butter lets you enjoy an even deeper flavor. It feels like it adds even more nuttiness. ## Overall - A place for high-quality gyukatsu - Clean and comfortable, making it a good choice for a date - Solo-dining seats are available too ## Where it is - Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch (규엔당 선릉점) (규엔당 선릉점) - 2F, 26 Seolleung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 강남구 선릉로86길 26 2층) - 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로86길 26 2층 - 37.5035296, 127.0518602 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%9C%EC%97%94%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5035296,127.0518602,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-place-setting/seolleung-gyukatsu-tender-taste/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
