The house-made sweet potato mousse, crisp cheese pork cutlet, and smoky brisket jjolmyeon were an especially great combination. Verdict: a lovely pick when you want an extra-cheesy pork cutlet in Sinsa. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Monday–Sunday 11:00–21:20 - **Last order**: 20:50 - **Takeout and delivery**: Available - **Seating**: Mostly tables for two and four - **Group reservations**: Available - **Self-service bar**: Shredded radish, pickled radish, soup, clear soup, and black rice - **Review benefit**: Takoyaki or a drink is offered for writing a review *as written by the visitor on Sep 12, 2026* I was watching Please Take Care of My Refrigerator over the weekend, and Jonathan said he likes gochi-don.

When you see Uniqlo, head into the alley and make just one more turn; it is on the right. ![Ikki Roll Katsu location near Seongmi Building](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-03-qdnf9-900.webp) ![Entrance location of Ikki Roll Katsu Garosu-gil Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-04-1cf5k-900.webp) Once you spot Seongmi Building, you have arrived! Go down half a floor and it is right there. The pork cutlets in the photos already looked soooo deliciousㅠㅠㅠ. The visuals are insane, right? ![Basement-level directions for Ikki Roll Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-05-11zyw-900.webp) ![Restaurant entrance with pork cutlet menu photos](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-06-1oi6s-900.webp) It is in the basement, but not dark at all—everything was done in bright wood tones! There is also a restroom next to the waiting area, and it was clean! ## Bright, tidy interior and a self-service bar ![Bright wood-toned interior of Ikki Roll Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-07-4uyru-900.webp) ![Table seating inside Ikki Roll Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-08-1m7ng-900.webp) There were mostly tables for two and four, and the overall style was bright and tidy haha. ![Group reservation notice at Ikki Roll Katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-09-1k4v8-900.webp) They also said group reservations are possible. It looked like a nice place to come for a gathering or with work friends. The water was tea rather than bottled water, so as someone who is not great at drinking plain water, I was very happy! ![Ikki Roll Katsu roll-katsu menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-10-1htvh-900.webp) ![Variety of cheese roll-katsu menu items](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-11-16fuw-900.webp) True to its name, there are sooo many kinds of pork cutlet: sweet potato cheese pork cutlet, chicken cheese roll katsu, rosé pork cutlet, fish cheese roll katsu, spicy cheese roll katsu, curry cheese roll katsu, kimchi cheese roll katsu, flying-fish-roe cheese roll katsu, and salad roll katsu. I came specifically for gochi-don, but all the other dishes looked delicious tooㅠㅠ. ### What we ordered - Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet - Salad-loaded flame-grilled brisket jjolmyeon (chewy spicy noodles) ![Order of sweet potato cheese pork cutlet and flame-grilled brisket jjolmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-12-mousa-900.webp) ![Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet and jjolmyeon order](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-13-1opir-900.webp) The self-service bar had side dishes such as shredded radish and pickled radish, plus soup, clear soup, and black rice. You can get more if you need it, so I think you could leave absolutely full. ![Self-service bar with side dishes and black rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-14-7dahn-900.webp) And apparently, if you leave a review, you can get takoyaki or a drink too! It would be nice to share when you come as a group. ## Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet and flame-grilled brisket jjolmyeon ![Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet and brisket jjolmyeon set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-15-13u5n-966.webp) The gochi-don and jjolmyeon looked 100% exactly like the photos posted at the entrance 🫢🤤 ### Soft, nutty sweet potato cheese pork cutlet Ikki Roll Katsu says it tenderizes its meat the traditional way, pounding it with a mallet! The texture really was different. Some places use commercial sweet potato mousse that has that sort of machine-made taste, but they said they make their mousse too, which I liked even more. It was not overly sweet—just delicious, soft, and nutty... ![Cheese pork cutlet topped with sweet potato mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-16-1snps-900.webp) A little rice and salad on the side! Both can be refilled. Even the toppings on top were colorful and appetizing, right? ![Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet with toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-17-i1eie-1200.webp) ![Pork cutlet plate with colorful toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-18-1hsa9-900.webp) ![Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet with side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-19-unz2t-900.webp) ### Salad-loaded flame-grilled brisket jjolmyeon with deep smoky flavor And then there was the salad-loaded flame-grilled brisket jjolmyeon with absolutely crazy visuals! I tried a piece of brisket first, and the smoky flavor was incredible—it was restaurant-quality meat. Plus, there were quail eggs, cherry tomatoes, sprouts, carrots, cabbage, cucumber, and jjolmyeon! ![Jjolmyeon loaded with brisket and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-20-ck05j-900.webp) The visuals are crazy... This combination was seriously so good, so please try it exactly this way. The sweet potato cheese pork cutlet had soft mousse and a crisp, juicy cutlet, while the jjolmyeon was spicy and tangy, so they went so well together. ![Sweet potato cheese pork cutlet and spicy jjolmyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-21-1kxza-900.webp) ![Pork cutlet and jjolmyeon combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-22-1uju4-900.webp) How far is it going to stretch? There was plenty of cheese too, so it stretched with every bite. That means it stayed delicious right to the last bite! ![Pork cutlet with stretchy cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-23-q30e5-900.webp) And this pickled radish side dish was a little more refreshing than regular pickled radish, while the kimchi was fairly strongly seasoned—but eating it after the pork cutlet refreshed my palate. Koreans really do need kimchi. ![Pork cutlet with pickled radish and kimchi side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu/sinsa-sweet-potato-cheese-tonkatsu-24-n0n6g-900.webp) The pork cutlet was large, and even the jjolmyeon on its own was completely delicious... Looking at the photos is making me want it again.
