Visiting outside the lunch rush, the writer ordered the Riae Signature Trio (tenderloin katsu, menchi katsu and fried shrimp) and a sakana (fish) and ebi (shrimp) fry, both in half-and-half combos, to compare several fried dishes on one table. For anyone who struggles to pick a single dish, the trio and half-and-half sets at Riae Premium were the most satisfying choice. ## Good to know - **Address**: 46 Seongnae-ro 18-gil, 1st floor, Unit 1-1, Gangdong-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00-20:00 - **Break time**: 15:00-16:00 - **Amenities**: Parking, separate men's and women's restrooms, delivery - **How to order**: Tablet ordering and payment at the table - **Seating**: Solo seats up to tables for four - **What we ordered**: Riae Signature Trio; sakana (fish) + ebi (shrimp) fry (both as signature half-and-half combos) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* I was craving proper tonkatsu, so after some searching I made my way to Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch, a tonkatsu restaurant near Olympic Park in Gangdong. There were more customers than I expected when I visited — I spotted foreign visitors, families, and couples all eating together. I was happy to be able to try several kinds of Japanese-style tonkatsu in one sitting. ![Signature tonkatsu dish at Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-01-tjyeb-1200.webp) ## Where is Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch, and when is it open? - 📍 46 Seongnae-ro 18-gil, 1st floor, Unit 1-1, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 🕙 Daily 11:00–20:00 (break time 15:00–16:00) - 💡 Parking, separate men's/women's restrooms, delivery ### Was there a wait at Riae Premium? I went outside typical lunch hours, so there was no wait for me. That said, the place stayed steadily busy, so I'd recommend booking ahead if you're going during a meal time. Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch is also easy to reach from Olympic Park Station and Dunchon-dong Station, so it's a good stop before or after a walk around the park. ![Area around the entrance of Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-02-1rgjs-966.webp) ## Inside Riae Premium: exterior, atmosphere and seating ![Exterior of Riae Premium on Seongnae-ro 18-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-03-1q711-966.webp) ![Outdoor signboard of Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-04-7wvnu-966.webp) Riae is a Japanese-style tonkatsu restaurant run on know-how built up over years of studying tonkatsu. Their philosophy is that tonkatsu isn't just something you fry — it's a balance of good meat, proper aging, and frying technique. ![Bright, clean interior seating at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-05-boba7-966.webp) ![Table seating layout at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-06-gmg6u-966.webp) ![Interior design of Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-07-1espr-966.webp) ![Single-seat and four-person seating areas at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-08-1ymq7-966.webp) The interior was bright and clean overall. The tables ranged from single seats to tables for four, so it looked comfortable whether you're eating solo, out with family, or on a date. During my visit I saw a real mix of ages enjoying their meals, and foreign customers stood out too. ## What is on the Riae Premium menu? Ordering and payment are done through the tablet on the table. ![Tablet ordering screen on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-09-h2ho8-966.webp) ![Riae Premium tonkatsu menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-10-1xyx4-543.webp) Riae's menu includes aged tonkatsu along with tenderloin katsu, minced meat katsu (menchi katsu), and more. Enjoying one dish properly is great, but if it's your first visit, I'd say the signature half-and-half combos or the trio menu — where you get to try several things — are a smart pick. Beyond tonkatsu there's also cold soba and curry, so there's plenty of variety. ## Signature Trio: tenderloin katsu, menchi katsu and fried shrimp Since I wanted to try a bit of everything, I ordered both menus as signature half-and-half combos. ![Table spread ordered as a signature half-and-half combo](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-11-1jlfw-966.webp) ![A plate of the Riae Signature Trio](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-12-vo590-966.webp) The first dish that arrived was the Riae Signature Trio — tenderloin katsu, menchi katsu, and fried shrimp, all on one plate. ![Close-up of tenderloin katsu, menchi katsu, and fried shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-13-1umdo-966.webp) ![The trio combo with all three fried items](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-14-19wk9-966.webp) Each item came as a single piece, so I liked being able to compare the different textures and flavors side by side. ![Various sauces served alongside the dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-15-4o5h6-966.webp) ### Which sauces come with the tonkatsu? One thing I really liked about Riae was the range of sauces served depending on the dish. There was a tangy soy-based sauce, truffle oil, and tartar sauce, so I could mix and match to my taste. ![Katsu paired with soy sauce and truffle oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-16-ga0b8-966.webp) ![A piece of fried food dipped in tartar sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-17-16xg6-966.webp) ![Menchi katsu served with curry sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-18-sr5ye-899.webp) ![Cross-section of katsu with tonkatsu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-19-16nup-966.webp) The menchi katsu came with a curry sauce for a different twist, while I paired the tonkatsu with the classic tonkatsu sauce. Even the same fried dish tasted noticeably different depending on the sauce, which made mixing and matching fun. ![Trying different sauce combinations with the fried food](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-20-rzxlw-966.webp) ![Both menu orders laid out together on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-21-cq7pr-966.webp) ## The sakana (fish) and ebi (shrimp) fry combo For my second order I got the sakana (fish) and ebi (shrimp) fry combo — three pieces of fried fish and one piece of fried shrimp. ![Three pieces of fried fish and one piece of fried shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-22-1kuof-966.webp) Getting to try crispy fried fish and shrimp together gave a completely different feel from the tonkatsu. Ordering several kinds of fried dishes made the table feel much more abundant, which was satisfying. ![Cross-section showing the crispy breading](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-23-1x5k3-966.webp) ### The crispy breading was the most memorable part What I was most impressed by was the crispiness of the breading. With the first bite, the outside stayed crisp and still felt right for each ingredient. The fried shrimp and fried fish both delivered that same satisfying crunch, and pairing them with tartar sauce worked really well. Sticking to just one menu item might have felt a bit lacking, but ordering several kinds meant I got to enjoy the variety, which I really liked. If you love variety, I'd recommend the Signature Trio or one of the half-and-half combos. ## Is Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch worth a visit? ![Finished table spread at Riae Premium](https://img.superchart.com/images/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp-24-rvoqp-966.webp) If you're looking for a hearty meal before or after a walk around Olympic Park, Riae Premium — a tonkatsu restaurant near Olympic Park that comes to mind first — is worth a visit. I got to try tenderloin katsu, menchi katsu, fried shrimp, and fried fish, and the crispy breading is what stayed with me most. It's a place I'd recommend for a family meal, a date, or simply a meal after visiting Olympic Park. If, like me, you have trouble choosing just one dish or want to try a bit of everything, I'd recommend the Signature Trio and the half-and-half combo sets. ## Where it is - Riae Premium Olympic Park Branch (리애 프리미엄 올림픽공원직영점) - 46 Seongnae-ro 18-gil, 1st floor, Unit 1-1, Gangdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강동구 성내로18길 46 1층 1-1호 - 37.5250204, 127.1280784 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A6%AC%EC%95%A0%20%ED%94%84%EB%A6%AC%EB%AF%B8%EC%97%84%20%EC%98%AC%EB%A6%BC%ED%94%BD%EA%B3%B5%EC%9B%90%EC%A7%81%EC%98%81%EC%A0%90/@37.5250204,127.1280784,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@stopover-supper/lie-premium-signature-trio-fish-shrimp/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
