A husband recommended it after eating there on a work trip, and the couple took the last free table at weekday lunch with no wait, ordering the kkot gatsu (tenderloin cutlet) and the top loin cutlet. The tenderloin was the softest pork cutlet the writer had ever eaten, and alternating wasabi with lemon salt kept it clean-tasting to the final piece. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Kkot gatsu (tenderloin cutlet), top loin cutlet - **Set includes**: Cabbage salad, miso soup, lemon salt, salt and pepper, wasabi, rice with a little foxtail millet - **Self-serve bar**: Dried radish, house-made pickles, extra sauce, take-out containers - **Wait**: Last table free at weekday lunch, so no wait (staff say there are waits at times) - **Location**: 33 Wangbaesan 3-gil, 1st floor, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi *as written by the visitor on Sep 19, 2026* ![Signature spread of pork cutlet dishes at Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-01-rhan7-1200.webp) My husband and I finally found a free weekday lunch hour, so we decided to have a lunch date! He'd mentioned before, while out on business, that there was a delicious pork cutlet place in Mokdong that was super popular at his company haha. Apparently everyone at lunchtime just goes there. He said it was so good he really wanted to bring me. ![Exterior of Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch in Dongtan Mokdong](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-02-1ibkf-966.webp) And here it is — a Dongtan Mokdong favorite, Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch 🥹 ![Celebrity autograph hanging on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-03-1j22u-966.webp) Looks like a lot of celebrities have visited too +_+ There was even a signature from Ji Suk-jin haha!! The pork cutlets here are famous for being extremely tender, so a lot of families bring their kids here for a meal out too haha. ## Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch: menu and self-serve bar At Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch we chose two things: the kkot gatsu and the top loin cutlet. The self-serve bar had dried radish, house-made pickles, and sauce refills ready to go. ![Menu board at Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-04-7f3fw-966.webp) ![Menu board listing the various cutlet types](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-05-j4fss-966.webp) We ordered the kkot gatsu and the top loin cutlet :) ![Self-serve bar with dried radish and house-made pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-06-1l9v3-966.webp) ![Sauce refill and self-serve take-out container corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-07-7wfgh-966.webp) The self-service area had dried radish, house-made pickles, and extra sauce we could add ourselves haha. There were even take-out containers if we had leftovers, so we could pack some to go (but we ended up finishing everything). ![Restaurant interior seating during weekday lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-08-122mt-966.webp) ### Is there a wait at weekday lunch? We went on a weekday lunch and apparently there's sometimes a wait :) We just barely got the last table so we didn't have to wait, but the turnover looked fast enough that I doubt you'd be waiting long haha. ## Kkot gatsu: how soft is the tenderloin cutlet? The kkot gatsu comes with a soft tenderloin cutlet, cabbage salad, miso soup, and rice with a bit of barley mixed in. Three condiments come alongside it — lemon salt, salt and pepper, and wasabi. ![Full tenderloin kkot gatsu set meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-09-sdl18-966.webp) Here's the kkot gatsu haha. A soft tenderloin in a cleanly fried coating, plus a savory cabbage salad, miso soup, lemon salt, salt and pepper, wasabi, and rice with a touch of barley :) ![깨끗하게 튀겨진 안심 꽃가츠 단면](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-10-9fgza-966.webp) You can tell just by looking that the coating was fried cleanly with the meat's juices intact — doesn't it look delicious? haha ![Chopsticks lifting a piece of soft tenderloin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-11-pvn70-966.webp) This might honestly be the softest pork cutlet I've ever had haha. That's probably why so many families bring their kids here to eat. ![A piece of kkot gatsu topped with lemon juice](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-12-up7cm-966.webp) It's great with a squeeze of lemon and some tonkatsu sauce, but also delicious plain. ![Tenderloin cutlet dipped in tonkatsu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-13-b5j9j-966.webp) ### Wasabi and lemon salt, the best pairing Personally, I enjoyed tasting the meat plain first, then adding a bit of wasabi — the combination was really satisfying haha. As the savory fat of the top loin and the rich juices of the tenderloin spread through my mouth, the sharp fresh wasabi cut right through any heaviness afterward, so I could eat all the way to the last bite without ever getting tired of it — clean and light the whole time. ![A piece of cutlet topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-14-1xo9x-966.webp) The fattier the cut, the more clearly the wasabi's value showed. I also want to strongly recommend the lemon salt served alongside. Unlike regular salt, a subtle, fresh lemon scent hits your nose first, and dipping the cutlet's surface in it brings out the meat's umami very cleanly. The crunch of the fried coating, the juiciness, and the bright citrus flavor blended together in a strange, wonderful way — even eating it with just the salt, no sauce, felt like a proper dish. Besides the basic tonkatsu sauce, I'd really recommend alternating between wasabi and lemon salt to enjoy the different flavor variations +__+!! ## Top loin cutlet: thick but still light The top loin cutlet at Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch stands out for its thickness from the start, and it's cooked just as tender as the tenderloin. If you prefer something lighter, the top loin cutlet is the answer. ![Full set of thick top loin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-15-36kla-966.webp) The loin cutlet's thickness is no joke haha. It's cooked just right, and the top loin cutlet came out just as tender as the tenderloin, so it's a dish anyone would love, young or old. If you prefer something lighter, definitely order the top loin cutlet~! ![Cross-section of the top loin cutlet showing its thin coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-16-qwaca-966.webp) The coating is thin, so you can taste the meat's lightness while also noticing how cleanly it was fried. ![Plate of sliced top loin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-17-1q90e-m-966.webp) ![Close-up of a piece of top loin cutlet](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-18-mu89w-966.webp) ![Top loin cutlet dipped in lemon salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-19-tskjr-966.webp) Pairing it with wasabi really cut through the fattiness — worked great~! ![Top loin cutlet served with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-20-zatgk-966.webp) ![Plate of cutlets near the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date-21-1awt5-966.webp) ## Is Kkot Gatsu worth it for cutlets in Dongtan Mokdong? The meat itself was so tender and the coating so clean that we could finish the meal without anything feeling heavy or overpowering. It's the kind of place and flavor that works well for a family meal with kids or a cozy outing together. Next time I'd like to come back and try other cuts or side dishes. If you're looking for a hearty, well-made cutlet restaurant near Mokdong, give it a try :) ## Where it is - Kkot Gatsu Dongtan Main Branch (꽃가츠 동탄본점) - 33 Wangbaesan-ro 3-gil, 1st floor, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 화성시 동탄구 왕배산3길 33 1층 - 37.1810465, 127.1256887 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%BD%83%EA%B0%80%EC%B8%A0%20%EB%8F%99%ED%83%84%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.1810465,127.1256887,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@uijeongbu-tin-bowl/kkotgatsu-dongtan-mokdong-weekday-lunch-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
