# Seoul Station gyukatsu restaurant, brazier relit three times: Ichigyu - By Daehee (https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-city-table/) - Written Sep 21, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Jung-gu, Seoul - Sponsored: This post is based on a meal provided by the restaurant for review. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-city-table/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@weekday-city-table/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/index.md) ## In short Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch is a brazier-grilled gyukatsu (beef cutlet) Japanese restaurant on the B1 level of Seoul Station in Jung-gu, Seoul. The writer grilled the gyukatsu on Isigny salted butter and ate it with salt, chili sauce and wasabi, then grilled the mochi and cheese from the Kakao review event, finishing by piling the browned cheese onto the mochi. Eating slowly meant relighting the brazier three times, but the writer cleared the plate for the first time in ages and names Ichigyu the pick for gyukatsu at Seoul Station. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 14:00 and 20:30 - **Parking**: Paid parking in the building - **Location**: B1, Unit B116, 98 Huam-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul - **Waiting**: Sign in at the Catch Table kiosk right outside the restaurant - **Rice**: Served separately, refills available if you run short - **Review event**: Naver review: fried shrimp / Kakao review: mochi & cheese, both can be claimed *as written by the visitor on Sep 21, 2026* I once went hunting for the best gyukatsu near Seoul Station and ended up at Hurato, which was disappointing. This time I found a really good spot, so please, if you want gyukatsu at Seoul Station, just go here ~~ Seoul Station restaurant Ichigyu. ![Entrance of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-01-14im5-966.webp) ## Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch hours and parking Seoul Station restaurant Ichigyu. - ⏰ Hours: Daily 11:00–21:30 - Break time 15:00–17:00 - Last order 14:00, 20:30 - 🅿️ Parking: Paid parking in the building It's on the basement floor of what looked like an LG building, so a lot of nearby office workers seemed to come for lunch. Recommended as a Seoul Station lunch spot 😉 ![Exterior of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch located on B1](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-02-1rak4-966.webp) ## How long is the wait, and what are the seats like? Not sure if remote waiting is possible, but there's a Catch Table kiosk right in front of the restaurant where you can put your name down. When I went in there was no wait, but by the time I left a line had formed, lol. ![Catch Table waiting kiosk in front of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-03-cl6uu-966.webp) ![Waiting area at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-04-1mje3-966.webp) Still, there are quite a lot of two-seat tables, so it seems like they can handle a fair number of people. I saw some solo diners too. ![Interior of Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch with many two-seat tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-05-1bcxr-966.webp) ## Menu and what we ordered at Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch I came to Seoul Station restaurant Ichigyu wanting gyukatsu, but the hamburg omurice on the menu almost made my eyes wander! Then the smell of gyukatsu drifting over from the next table pulled me back, so I ordered gyukatsu as planned. ![Menu board showing gyukatsu and hamburg omurice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-06-1of84-966.webp) If you're planning to have even one drink, it's better to order the set. Oh, and about the 'how to eat it right' sign — we just took a photo and didn't actually read it, lol. Apparently you're supposed to divide the butter into 3 portions. We divided ours into like 6–7 portions to make it last, haha 😖 ![Sign explaining how to enjoy the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-07-ligyj-966.webp) ![Table menu with set menu information](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-08-1m0zs-966.webp) ### Two review events: Naver shrimp or Kakao mochi and cheese Seoul Station restaurant Ichigyu is running two review events .ᐟ Naver review → fried shrimp; Kakao review → mochi & cheese. You can join both, but I wasn't really craving the shrimp so I only did the Kakao review event. ![Naver and Kakao review event notice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-09-pmlr5-966.webp) The rice came out separately first, like this. You scoop it into your own bowl, and refills are available if you need more ~ but I'm dieting, so I only had a little. ![Rice served separately with individual bowls](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-10-1vrk1-966.webp) ## How many times do you relight the brazier? They lit the brazier first. I wonder how many times other people usually relight it when they get gyukatsu? We're pretty slow eaters, so we went through 3 candles, and we hurried up eating for fear the third one would go out too... But whenever I look around, no one else seems to ask for as many relights as we do, lol, haha. ![Gyukatsu table setting with a lit brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-11-2ovpf-1200.webp) ![Brazier grill plate with side sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-12-qglib-966.webp) ![Ichigyu gyukatsu brazier heated with a candle flame](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-13-zec1t-966.webp) ## How does the gyukatsu taste? Seoul Station restaurant Ichigyu, the color of the meat looks so good ¿ ❛ᴗ❛ I've seen a lot of gyukatsu places that offer butter, but this is actually my first time visiting one. I love Isigny salted butter ㅠㅠㅠ so I was really looking forward to this 🤍 ![Isigny salted butter and gyukatsu meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-14-1g3n1-966.webp) We also ordered a fried egg each, and they came out on individual plates like this. They melt the butter first, then place the meat pieces on one at a time. ![Gyukatsu piece placed on the buttered grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-15-ptdq8-966.webp) ![Gyukatsu grilling on the brazier](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-16-1m51y-966.webp) Ooh, can you tell how juicy it is? If you grill it just right, it's not chewy at all — so tender! The outer coating stays crispy while the inside is packed with juicy moisture — crispy-outside-juicy-inside itself ❥ ![Cross-section of gyukatsu showing juicy meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-17-1n5og-966.webp) ![Close-up of the crispy gyukatsu coating](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-18-3zd3h-966.webp) ![Plate of grilled gyukatsu and fried egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-19-1woqf-966.webp) ### Salt, chili sauce or wasabi: the one pick I enjoyed it in various combinations — salt, chili sauce, wasabi ´⌣` Each one gave a totally different vibe, ㅠㅠㅠ. Since the meat itself is so tender, it's delicious no matter how you eat it, but my top pick was salt 🧂 ![Gyukatsu dipped in salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-20-1jnnn-966.webp) The third relight was already flickering out, and asking for a fourth felt like too much, so we hurriedly started grilling two pieces at a time. ## Grilling the Kakao review-event mochi and cheese This is the cheese & mochi I got from the review event. Just like the gyukatsu, you put butter on top and grill it sizzling — but the flame had gotten so weak I couldn't grill it properly •́ . •̀,, Asking them to relight the fire just for this felt like too much, so I just grilled it as best I could and ate it. ![Review event cheese and mochi grilling on the plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-21-1r2sv-966.webp) But even not fully grilled, it was still amazing ㅠ. I ate the cheese first — savory and kind of chewy? ദ്ദി ![Chewy grilled cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-22-1aw2c-966.webp) The mochi was also super chewy, totally my style ㅠ.ㅠ Grilled with a slight crispness, plus the buttery flavor on top — seriously delicious. ![Chewy mochi grilled in butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-23-d8fgc-966.webp) After finishing all the cheese, with one piece of mochi left, I suddenly thought, ah, I should've eaten the cheese and mochi together... So out of regret, I scraped up the cheese stuck to the pan and put it on the last mochi — and it went together perfectly!!!! ![Last piece of mochi topped with melted cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok-24-d1gmp-966.webp) I finished the whole meal for once in a long time. Seoul Station restaurant Ichigyu, totally recommend it! I'd definitely come back next time I have a train to catch. ## Where it is - Ichigyu Seoul Station Branch (이치규 서울역점) - 98 Huam-ro, B1, B116-ho, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 중구 후암로 98 지하1층 B116호 - 37.5538652, 126.9746174 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B9%98%EA%B7%9C%20%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8%EC%97%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.5538652,126.9746174,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-city-table/ichigyu-seoul-station-gyukatsu-cheese-tteok/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
