Arriving on a Saturday at 2pm with no wait, the writer ordered Simsim Katsu (tenderloin + pork loin) at 15,000 won, the Choieh Katsu curry set (tenderloin + cheese) at 19,000 won and potato croquettes, all breaded and fried to order in about 15 minutes. Jasmine tea and a natural honey yogurt starter show the same attention to detail, making HOKATSU a place worth returning to. ## Good to know - **Location**: 788 Seogot-ro, Unit 128, Geomdan-gu, Incheon - **Hours**: 11:00–21:30 (last order 15:00 / 21:00) - **Break time**: 15:30–17:00 - **Parking**: Two hours free in the building's underground lot - **Amenities**: High chairs, takeout, separate men's and women's restrooms, disposable aprons - **Simsim Katsu (tenderloin + pork loin)**: 15,000 won - **Choieh Katsu + curry set (tenderloin + cheese)**: 19,000 won - **Potato croquettes (2)**: 4,000 won - **Bowl of rice**: 1,000 won - **Cooking wait**: About 15 minutes after ordering - **Price reference**: ₩4,000 ≈ $2.9 (2026-09-20) *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![A full Japanese-style tonkatsu spread at HOKATSU in Geomdan, Incheon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-01-14k7a-1200.webp) I was craving Japanese-style tonkatsu (pork cutlet) after a while, so I went to HOKATSU, my Geomdan go-to. From the cutlets to the curry, everything was seriously delicious… I really recommend this place. ![Close-up of a tonkatsu plate at HOKATSU in Geomdan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-02-61xlf-900.webp) ## HOKATSU location, hours and parking in Geomdan, Incheon - 📍Location: 788 Seogot-ro, Unit 128, Geomdan-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 📍Hours: 11:00 – 21:30 (last order 15:00 / 21:00) - Break time 15:30 – 17:00 - 📍Parking: Building's underground lot / free for 2 hours - 📍High chairs, takeout, separate men's/women's restrooms ![Front view of the HOKATSU storefront on Seogot-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-03-1wbvh-900.webp) ![Catch Table waiting kiosk in front of HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-04-ad9lx-900.webp) There's a Catch Table waiting kiosk out front.

(But after that, customers kept streaming in, and even during the late lunch hour the seats were nearly full — proof it's a real local favorite.) There's a good mix of 4-person and 2-person tables, so it's great for solo dining as well as coming with friends or family 😊 ![A seat with a high chair at HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-07-1nxo9-900.webp) ![Disposable aprons available at HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-08-jz96s-900.webp) They have high chairs and disposable aprons too. ![Self-service side dish corner at HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-09-10ejn-900.webp) You can help yourself to extra side dishes. White kimchi, pickled gochujang peppers, pickles, and cabbage salad! I love cabbage salad, so this was a lucky find for me haha ![White kimchi, cabbage salad, and other self-serve side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-10-3jdoq-900.webp) ![A plate of side dishes from HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-11-1sbig-900.webp) ✔️ Meat aged with house-made yogurt ✔️ Breaded to order right when the order comes in! HOKATSU clearly takes real pride in their meat.. ![Sign explaining HOKATSU's yogurt-aged meat process](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-12-6nuv2-900.webp) ![HOKATSU's katsu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-13-1kyg0-900.webp) ## HOKATSU menu and what we ordered So many different katsu options~ - ✔️ Simsim Katsu ₩15,000 (tenderloin + pork loin) - ✔️ Choieh Katsu + curry set ₩19,000 (tenderloin + cheese) - ✔️ Potato croquettes (2) ₩4,000 - ✔️ Rice ₩1,000 This is what the two of us ordered~ ⚠️ Because they only bread the cutlets once the order comes in, it takes about 15 minutes to be served! Proof that everything's fried fresh to order 🙌 ![Jasmine tea served at HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-14-1x4bq-900.webp) ## Jasmine tea and the natural honey yogurt starter Even the water here is different 😮 They serve jasmine tea that's fragrant and clean, perfect for freshening up your palate before and after the meal 🍵 ![House-made yogurt starter with natural honey](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-15-uqkpp-900.webp) And on top of that, a natural honey yogurt starter! Mix the house-made yogurt with the honey and it's not too tart, with a mellow nutty note — the perfect appetizer to build up your appetite. Seemed like a great spot to bring kids too 👶 ![A full table spread of katsu and curry at HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-16-qlh55-900.webp) The table came out fully loaded~ (already want to eat it again..) ![Choieh Katsu served with the curry set](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-17-6eynl-900.webp) ![Choieh Katsu made of tenderloin and cheese cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-18-1ulj9-900.webp) ## How does Choieh Katsu (tenderloin + cheese cutlet) taste? Starting with the Choieh Katsu (tenderloin + cheese cutlet)! The moment I saw the cheese, I gasped 😳 Fresh cheddar and mozzarella stretched way out, and combined with the crispy, non-greasy coating, it was seriously insane. You have to dip the cheese cutlet in salt only! Just salt alone lets you taste the flavor of the cheese and meat exactly as they are — so good. ![Dipping the cheese cutlet into salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-19-1om39-900.webp) Salt before the tonkatsu sauce — that's the proper order 🧂 The tenderloin cutlet is best with fresh wasabi + salt! The tenderloin looks moist and tender just to look at, and topping it with a little fresh wasabi and a dab of salt makes it feel like eating at a top-tier omakase tonkatsu place. The juices from the meat itself just burst out.. ![Tenderloin cutlet topped with fresh wasabi and salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-20-1sfvb-800.webp) I basically turned into a monkey who just ate a banana, haha. You've got to try this level of detail for yourself! ![Simsim Katsu made of tenderloin and pork loin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-21-1dbqn-900.webp) ## Simsim Katsu (tenderloin + pork loin cutlet): was it worth 15,000 won? Next up, the Simsim Katsu (tenderloin + pork loin cutlet). The pork loin cutlet has its own different charm — it has more bite than the tenderloin, so try it with wasabi + salt first too! The more you chew, the more the loin's savory juices come through, and dipping it in tonkatsu sauce gives it a whole other flavor!! You can really tell the meat quality is on a different level 😋 ![Cross-section of the pork loin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-22-c3ncz-900.webp) ![Potato croquettes at HOKATSU](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-23-zqfaf-900.webp) ## Potato croquettes and the curry set at HOKATSU The sides are seriously well made too! The potato croquettes are crispy outside, soft inside, sweet and tender — just as good as the mains. Two for ₩4,000 is a great deal too! The curry is packed with meat, and piled on top of rice it's total comfort food 🍛 I highly recommend getting the curry set!! ![HOKATSU's meat-packed curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry/hokatsu-geomdan-saturday-cheese-katsu-curry-24-113ll-900.webp) ## Who should eat at HOKATSU?
