Its two- and four-person tables are generously arranged, making it just right for a date or a small get-together with friends. The tables are suitably spaced apart, and the outdoor terrace gives the room an airy feel too, which I loved. ![Restaurant interior with wood-toned tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-04-1f02w-900.webp) There is bar seating too, so anyone who has felt awkward about eating alone in Yeonnam-dong can enjoy a solo meal comfortably haha. ![Bar seating for solo diners](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-05-1vgmv-900.webp) There are all sorts of sauces ready on the table, so just enjoy them however you like. ## Katsu Monster Menu ![Katsu Monster pork cutlet menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-06-1w702-900.webp) - [Pork cutlets] Loin katsu, tenderloin katsu, premium loin katsu, cheese katsu, assorted katsu (loin + tenderloin), Mix Katsu A (loin + cheese), Mix Katsu B (tenderloin + cheese), Triple Katsu (loin + tenderloin + cheese) - [Noodles/rice] Cold soba, cold udon, spicy fish cake udon, bonito fish cake udon, kimchi katsu nabe, pork cutlet curry rice/udon, chicken curry rice/udon - [Sides] Chicken karaage, menchi katsu, spicy curry ![Triple katsu and cold udon solo set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-07-7g5ot-900.webp) ## A Solo Set with Triple Katsu and Cold Udon One huge advantage of Katsu Monster is its varied lineup, from individual katsu dishes to great-value set meals. This time, I ordered the “solo set,” which lets you try Katsu Monster’s signature katsu lineup in one colorful spread :) I chose triple katsu and cold udon for my solo set. It seems like such a great choice when you are really hungry or have a big appetite. ![The ordered solo set](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-08-1i0fs-900.webp) ![Pork cutlet and cold udon set table spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-09-yu8ai-900.webp) This is the set, haha. ![Triple katsu solo set components](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-10-1etzz-900.webp) ### Loin, Tenderloin, and Cheese Katsu Triple katsu comes with loin katsu, tenderloin katsu, and cheese katsu. ![Triple katsu with loin, tenderloin, and cheese cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-11-efpig-900.webp) ![Cheese katsu from the triple katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-12-11xah-900.webp) The nutty, savory flavor of the cheese worked beautifully with the richness of the meat, making both the texture and flavor excellent. Since the cheese can firm up once it cools, I recommend eating this one first :)” ![Cross-section of rich cheese katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-13-j80n0-900.webp) ![Cheese katsu and pork cutlet selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-14-28j82-900.webp) The more I chewed, the more the loin’s characteristic springy texture and nutty flavor filled my mouth. Lean meat alone can be a little dry, but the flavorful fat balanced it out and made it even more delicious. ![Loin katsu with a springy texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-15-185lc-900.webp) ![Balance of meat and fat in loin katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-16-1lxn1-900.webp) There was no off smell at all, and I could really taste the tenderloin’s clean, deep meatiness. ![Tenderloin katsu with a clean meaty flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-17-f92gc-900.webp) ### Cold Udon That Was Chewier Than Expected Honestly, I was not expecting that much, but it was wonderfully chewy. The broth was also clean and refreshing, creating the perfect balance by cutting through the richness of the fried food :)” ![Cold udon with refreshing broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-18-1j17e-900.webp) The doenjang-guk (soybean paste soup) was another memorable part! They even put meat in it. A lot of pork cutlet places serve soup without much in it, but they were wonderfully generous with the ingredients here. ![Doenjang-guk with meat and yanggaeng](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon-19-1jb82-900.webp) There was even yanggaeng (sweet red bean jelly) for dessert at the end! The owner thoughtfully took care of every detail through to the finish :) It was such a fun, varied meal, haha. Highly, highly recommended for solo meals or dates around Hongdae and Yeonnam! ## Where it is - Katsu Monster Yeonnam Main Branch (카츠몬스터 연남본점) - 101, 1F, 42-6 Donggyo-ro 38-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 동교로38길 42-6 1층 101호 카츠몬스터 연남본점 - 37.5610304, 126.9255679 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B9%B4%EC%B8%A0%EB%AA%AC%EC%8A%A4%ED%84%B0%20%EC%97%B0%EB%82%A8%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5610304,126.9255679,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@tile-floor-lunches/yeonnamdon-triplekatsu-coldudon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
