Visiting with a 17-month-old baby, the writer ordered the signature double gyukatsu and momil (cold buckwheat noodles) and grilled the beef on a mini tabletop brazier; there was no high chair, but the wide sofa seating and baby tableware made the meal comfortable. Between the station-front access and the care shown for children, Izawa is an easy choice for gyukatsu in Yeouido. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor of Yeouido Jonghap Sangga, to the right of Yeouido Station Exit 5 - **Parking**: 1 hour free in the building's 1st-floor ground lot (underground parking is paid) - **How to order**: Table kiosk - **Ordered**: Double gyukatsu, momil (cold buckwheat noodles) - **Seating**: Wide sofa seats, single seats for solo diners - **With a baby**: No high chair, baby tableware provided - **Event**: Coupon for a free mini curry when you write a Naver receipt review *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* Today I'm writing a review of a gyukatsu specialty restaurant near Yeouido Station, > Izawa Yeouido Direct Store that I went to visit! ![Exterior of Yeouido Jonghap Sangga building in front of Yeouido Station Exit 5](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-01-179mz-966.webp) ## Where is Izawa Yeouido Direct Store, and is there parking?

Hahaha, my expectations shot up before I even walked in 🫢❤️ There can be a wait during peak meal times, so I'd recommend visiting with a bit of buffer time!! ## Inside Izawa: seating and tips for dining with a baby ![Interior seating at Izawa Yeouido Direct Store](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-07-19edh-966.webp) The interior of Izawa Yeouido Direct Store had that cozy, clean atmosphere unique to Japanese restaurants! We visited this time with our 17-month-old baby, Haram. Unfortunately there wasn't a separate baby chair, but thankfully there was cushy, wide sofa seating, which made it comfortable to sit and eat together with the baby! On top of that, they thoughtfully brought out baby tableware, which I really appreciated 🥹 And they were so sweet to the baby too Even though it's not a big shopping mall but a regular commercial building storefront, I could really feel the care for kids, haha. ![Wide sofa seat where the writer sat with the baby](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-08-155z1-966.webp) There are even solo seats set up for people dining alone! Seems like it'd be great not having to feel self-conscious about eating solo at lunch! ![Solo dining seat area](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-09-wyoxh-966.webp) Ordering is done through a table kiosk! My kid was busy looking at the parking info ^^... and meanwhile, the food came out! ## Double gyukatsu and cold momil: how the meal tasted ![Table set with double gyukatsu and momil](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-10-pzsjt-966.webp) This time we ordered Izawa's signature double gyukatsu and momil and enjoyed them together! ![Gyukatsu served with a mini charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-11-kc1nz-966.webp) First, the gyukatsu — grilling it yourself on the mini charcoal grill to your preferred doneness was such fun, haha. Whoa~ look at that visual!! ![Cross-section of gyukatsu grilled on the charcoal grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-12-1dr9y-966.webp) The basic gyukatsu itself was seasoned just right and savory, so it was delicious even eaten plain 🥹✨ ![Two sauces — soy sauce base and a nutty sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-13-nsrxk-966.webp) Two sauces come with it — a clean soy sauce base and a sweet, nutty one like peanut sauce! Both were delicious, but personally I preferred the clean soy sauce since it really pulled the gyukatsu's flavor together, haha. Let's watch a video of the gyukatsu grilling together 🎥 So healing 🌿🤎 ![Bright red gyukatsu cooking on the grill](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-14-ulisn-966.webp) Sending intense stares at the bright red gyukatsu, willing it to cook faster 👀⚡️ The crispy-outside-juicy-inside gyukatsu must have been so good that Haram started dancing like crazy 😂 Getting to eat gyukatsu together — he's grown up so much, right? And then, take a bite of the crispy-juicy gyukatsu, top it with a chewy, cool bite of momil, and ![Cool momil noodles served alongside the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-15-dwrqj-966.webp) ![A bite of momil noodles combined with gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler/izawa-yeouido-gyukatsu-with-toddler-16-ya2fb-966.webp) Whew, it totally cuts the richness and the combo is insane 🥹💕 They also give you a mini curry coupon for writing a Naver receipt review, so make sure to grab that when you visit! ## Is Izawa in Yeouido worth a visit? True to its reputation as a spot famous celebrities visit, the meat quality was excellent, and being right in front of the station made the access perfect too!
