On a late weekday evening visit with a friend, the limited-quantity menu was already sold out, so the order was the YBD assorted katsu at 17,000 won, Jeju black pork loin katsu at 14,000 won and boneless gara-age (Japanese fried chicken) at 4,000 won, eaten side by side to compare breeds and cuts. For a quiet meal at the bar seats sampling several cuts at once, the YBD assorted katsu at Hets Jeonpo Branch was the right call. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2F, Unit 201, 225 Jeonpo-daero, Busanjin-gu, Busan — 3-minute walk from Jeonpo Station Exit 7 - **YBD assorted katsu**: 17,000 won (YBD loin katsu plus one piece of fillet katsu) - **Jeju black pork loin katsu**: 14,000 won - **Boneless gara-age, 4 pieces**: 4,000 won - **Seating**: All bar seating facing an open kitchen - **Parking**: No dedicated lot; use the public parking lot near Jeonpo Station and show the ticket for 1,000 won off - **Refills**: Refills on everything except the katsu; ask staff for silbi kimchi (spicy watery kimchi) - **Review event**: Write a Naver review and get free boneless gara-age or a soft drink - **Price reference**: ₩1,000 ≈ $0.7 · ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 (2026-09-22) *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* ![Tonkatsu table setting at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-01-d6ybd-900.webp) Visited Hets Jeonpo Branch, a tonkatsu spot in Jeonpo-dong!!! haha I went with a friend on a weekday evening, and since it was late the place was calm and quiet, so we got to eat comfortably :) I was hunting for a good tonkatsu place in Jeonpo-dong and ended up here, going in expecting a proper Japanese-style tonkatsu specialist. ## Where Hets Jeonpo Branch is and where to park Hets Jeonpo Branch is about a 3-minute walk from Jeonpo Station exit 7! It's close to the station, so it wasn't hard to find. ![Exterior of the Hets Jeonpo Branch building on Jeonpo-daero](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-02-m3175-900.webp) ![Second-floor entrance signage for Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-03-sj3h8-900.webp) There's no dedicated parking space, apparently. If you use the public parking lot near Jeonpo Station and show your parking ticket, they'll cover ₩1,000, so that's good to know if you're driving! ## Weekday evening mood and the bar seats ![Quiet weekday-evening entrance to Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-04-1pc8v-900.webp) ![Store information signage at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-05-3czy7-900.webp) Maybe because we came on a weekday evening, we got in and ate pretty comfortably without a wait. I was in the mood for a quiet meal that day, so it actually worked out great haha. ![Clean gray-toned interior of Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-06-1fwny-900.webp) The interior overall had a clean gray-tone vibe! It seemed like a place you could visit solo without feeling awkward, and I'd recommend it for a date or a simple dinner with a friend too! ![Bar seating facing the open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-07-1npw4-900.webp) All the tables are bar-style seating facing an open kitchen, so you get little glimpses of the food being prepared haha. ## Hets Jeonpo Branch menu and prices ![Menu board at Hets Jeonpo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-08-pn8p9-900.webp) Since we came late, the limited-quantity menu items were unfortunately sold out ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Next time I'll come a bit earlier to try the other menu items..! YBD is apparently a premium pork from a three-way cross of Yorkshire, Berkshire, and Duroc breeds, and this place studies katsu that highlight the flavor and texture differences of the meat itself. - YBD assorted katsu ₩17,000 - Jeju black pork loin katsu ₩14,000 - Boneless gara-age, 4 pieces ₩4,000 Among the side dishes, you can ask staff about the silbi kimchi, and everything except the katsu itself comes with free refills. Leave a Naver review and get a free boneless gara-age or soft drink! ## What comes with the 17,000 won YBD assorted katsu ![A plate of YBD assorted katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-09-81nti-900.webp) ![YBD assorted katsu with loin and fillet](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-10-q2sj0-m-900.webp) I ordered the YBD assorted katsu for ₩17,000! It comes with YBD loin katsu plus one piece of fillet katsu — a menu that lets you taste loin and fillet side by side 👍🏻 ![Basic setup of kimchi, tonkatsu sauce, rice, and soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-11-35rq8-900.webp) ![Table with cracked pepper, wasabi, and truffle oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-12-vyrqw-900.webp) First came kimchi, tonkatsu sauce, rice, and a light soup! On the table, they had cracked black pepper, wasabi, truffle oil, and corn salad dressing ready to go! ## How does the Jeju black pork loin katsu taste? ![A plate of Jeju black pork loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-13-r6dbe-900.webp) ▫️Jeju black pork loin katsu. This one is supposedly chewy with rich umami and a hint of smoky char flavor. ![Chopsticks holding a cross-section of Jeju black pork loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-14-1husu-900.webp) The more I chewed, the chewier it felt, and the meat's own umami and nuttiness came through strong. On top of that, a subtle smoky char flavor made the overall taste even richer :) ## The best way to eat the katsu > How to eat katsu the tasty way! ![First bite of katsu without sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-15-1luw7-900.webp) - 1. Take the first bite without sauce to taste the katsu itself - 2. Add wasabi in moderation ![Katsu served with pink salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-16-j7bfr-900.webp) - 3. Try it with pink salt - 4. Cracked black pepper to taste - 5. A modest touch of truffle oil too ## YBD loin vs fillet vs Jeju black pork ![Comparing YBD loin katsu and fillet katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-17-1e2zc-1200.webp) ![Cross-section of the soft fillet katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-18-qtq5d-900.webp) The YBD assorted katsu lets you taste loin and fillet together — the loin was light and nutty! The fillet was soft and moist, so the texture difference was clear. ![Table with black pork loin katsu and YBD katsu together](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-19-pg6lz-900.webp) ![A piece of light, clean-tasting YBD loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-20-1qah4-900.webp) If the Jeju black pork loin katsu is the chewy, smoky-char style, YBD felt a bit lighter and cleaner to eat :) ## Boneless gara-age for 4,000 won ![Four pieces of boneless gara-age](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-21-1wmqa-900.webp) ![Cross-section of crispy-battered boneless gara-age](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-22-rn85u-900.webp) Under the crispy batter was moist boneless chicken — soft, with a nutty crispy outside and a not-at-all-dry inside. Really good! ![Gara-age paired between bites of katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-23-n3l96-900.webp) Eating only katsu can get a little heavy after a while, but pairing in the gara-age (Japanese-style fried chicken) in between let me enjoy a different flavor. ## Final verdict on Hets Jeonpo Branch ![Final table setting after comparing cuts of katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner-24-1c3x0-900.webp) Even though it's all tonkatsu, the taste and texture varied by breed and cut, so comparing them one by one made for a more relaxed, satisfying meal haha. If you're looking for a good Japanese-style tonkatsu spot in Jeonpo-dong, I'd recommend Hets Jeonpo Branch. If you want to taste multiple cuts at once, the YBD assorted katsu is also a solid choice! Next time I want to try the limited-quantity menu items that were sold out, so I'll plan to visit a bit earlier. ## Where it is - Hets Jeonpo Branch (헷츠 전포점) - 225 Jeonpo-daero, 2nd floor, Unit 201, Busanjin-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 부산진구 전포대로 225 2층 201호 - 35.1567327, 129.0649601 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%97%B7%EC%B8%A0%20%EC%A0%84%ED%8F%AC%EC%A0%90/@35.1567327,129.0649601,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tide-cafe-ledger/hetz-jeonpo-ybd-modum-katsu-late-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
