Seoul Station gyukatsu so good I ordered a second round: Ichigyu

I visited Ichigyu near Seoul Station! Wow, honestly, anyone who loves gyukatsu probably already knows this place, haha. Wow, Ichigyu was so good:) This is my genuinely satisfied review, starting right now~~

Where is Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch?

Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is about a 5-minute walk from Seoul Station. I'm attaching the location in case it helps:)

This is the exterior of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch. It's on the B1 floor of the building, so if you go inside and ride the escalator right there down, it's not hard to find:)

What is the atmosphere like at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch?

The tables are big and spaced widely apart, so it felt comfortable. And best of all, even though gyukatsu means grilling the meat, the smell isn't strong:)

Is the Ichigyu set menu worth it for two people eating gyukatsu?

The menu isn't just one side. The set menus are on the back! Please check the menu photo for items and prices. If you order a set, you basically get one free drink, you know?! If two of you come and both order gyukatsu?! Then I really recommend checking the set menu.

How does the gyukatsu taste at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch?

I ordered the gyukatsu at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch! The look of it is insane, right?!?

Along with the gyukatsu came cabbage to eat between bites of meat and a variety of dipping sauces. The different combos are nice, but personally I like it best just topped with wasabi or dipped in salt, haha. That's the charm of it, I'd say!!

So good I ordered a second round of gyukatsu

Today was a total feast day, haha. It had been ages since I'd had gyukatsu, and this Seoul Station favorite was really that good!! So I quickly ordered another gyukatsu, haha. Look, a whole piece came out just like this. Dip it in the sauce and eat! It was seriously so good:)

I ate the gyukatsu by putting it on the grill plate. Doesn't it look amazing? How could anyone resist this look!!! Seriously!!!!!!

Ichigyu's gyukatsu has insane marbling, so the moment it goes in your mouth the meat melts away. But it doesn't just dissolve completely; you still feel some meaty texture here and there, which I think is the ideal gyukatsu, haha.

Why salt and wasabi are the best match for gyukatsu

You know how really good meat doesn't need sauce, and is great with just salt and wasabi?!? The gyukatsu at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch was exactly that, haha. I lightly grilled it on the plate, then topped it with salt and wasabi and ate it together, and it was just perfect:) Isn't this the best pairing ever!!!

It cut easily even with just my teeth and went down so smoothly:) Isn't this exactly what eating at Ichigyu near Seoul Station is all about?!? Honestly, it's the place that pops into my head right away on days I want really good gyukatsu:)

Is Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch worth going back to?

Honestly, at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch you won't regret whatever you order. Especially if it's the gyukatsu! It also seems they have lots of other menu items these days besides the gyukatsu types! Next time I visit, I'm going to try plenty of the other dishes too:)
