Ordering the gyukatsu with extra meat meant grilling thick-cut beef piece by piece over a tabletop mini charcoal stove, switching between salt, wasabi and sauce. If you want to eat gyukatsu properly, adding extra meat is the answer. ## Good to know - **Ordered**: Gyukatsu + extra meat - **How to eat**: Grill each piece of meat yourself on the tabletop mini charcoal stove - **Condiments**: Salt, wasabi, sauce - **Location**: 2F, 26 Seolleung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (near Seolleung Station) *as written by the visitor on Sep 8, 2026* ![A full spread of gyukatsu at Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-01-14tsz-900.webp) ![Food at Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch, a gyukatsu spot in Seolleung](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-02-1w6ye-900.webp) Today I want to introduce a gyukatsu spot in Seolleung that I really enjoyed — Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch.

The area is full of office workers, which makes it a good lunch spot, and it also felt like a fine place to stop by for dinner after work. ![Interior of Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch with a Japanese feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-05-1gmle-900.webp) ![Neatly arranged seating at Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-06-un3is-900.webp) Walking in, the space had a Japanese feel while staying neatly organized overall. It wasn't heavy or overly formal, so it was comfortable to eat in, and it clearly felt like the kind of place you come to for gyukatsu. ![Table setting at Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-07-dhn8d-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu served at Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-08-n7g7c-1200.webp) ## Adding extra meat to the gyukatsu — a really good call That day I ordered the gyukatsu. Worried it might not be quite enough, I added extra meat. To cut to the chase, that choice was really worth it. ![A plate of gyukatsu with extra meat added](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-09-t5gzm-900.webp) ![Cross-section of a thickly fried gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-10-1dqqy-900.webp) Gyukatsu is basically fried to a crisp on the outside, then finished to your own liking right at the table, which makes it fun to eat. Once the dish arrives, you use a small tabletop charcoal stove to grill the meat piece by piece. ![A piece of gyukatsu on the tabletop mini charcoal stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-11-fpct8-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu meat grilling on the stove](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-12-390k9-900.webp) ### Lightly seared versus grilled longer At first I tried searing just the surface. The breading was crisp and the inside stayed moist, so that signature soft gyukatsu texture really came through. I especially liked that the meat was thicker than I expected. It's clearly different from a thinly fried pork cutlet — the beef's own flavor came through more with every bite. Grilling it a bit longer on the stove has its own charm too. The outside gets even more savory while you can cook the inside to your taste — personally, searing it lightly to keep the juices in was my favorite way to eat it. ![Salt and wasabi served alongside the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-13-1rmkq-900.webp) ![A piece of gyukatsu dipped in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-14-f54pc-900.webp) ### Switching between salt, wasabi and sauce There were several condiments to mix and match, so even the same meat never got boring. Dipped in salt it was clean and savory; with wasabi it stayed refreshing while the beef's flavor came through even more. With the sauce it tasted richer, so switching between them kept every bite enjoyable right to the end. And the best decision of this visit was, without a doubt, adding extra meat. With gyukatsu, the portion can look decent at first but disappear quickly because it's so good — this time, with the extra meat, there was nothing left to wish for by the end. I also liked being able to eat slowly, grilling the meat myself right on the stove. With the gyukatsu plus rice and side dishes, it made for a pretty filling meal on its own. If you love meat, I'd recommend adding extra meat like I did rather than sticking to the basic menu. ## Who is Seolleung gyukatsu suited for? Personally, I think gyukatsu comes down to the quality and thickness of the meat as much as the crispness of the breading, and Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch delivered on that front. It's a great fit if you're looking for something different from pork cutlet in Seolleung, or if you want to try proper gyukatsu. It works well for an office lunch and just as well for a filling dinner. Above all, grilling the meat yourself on the stove made the whole process of eating fun, not just the food itself. ![The gyukatsu table at Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add-15-ghwrv-900.webp) If you love gyukatsu like I do, it's worth a visit at least once, and it's an approachable dish even for people trying gyukatsu for the first time. This time I really went all in with gyukatsu plus extra meat, and it was a pretty satisfying meal. If you're looking for good gyukatsu in Seolleung, Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch is worth remembering. Next time, I'd like to try some of Gyuen Dang's other menu items too. ## Where it is - Gyuen Dang Seolleung Branch (규엔당 선릉점) - 2F, 26 Seolleung-ro 86-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 선릉로86길 26 2층 - 37.5035296, 127.0518602 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B7%9C%EC%97%94%EB%8B%B9%20%EC%84%A0%EB%A6%89%EC%A0%90/@37.5035296,127.0518602,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@vanity-drawer-2/gyuendang-seolleung-gyukatsu-meat-add/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
