# Two sirloin gyukatsu Set 1 at Sinnonhyeon beef cutlet spot Ichigyu - By Haejin (https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-fork/) - Written Sep 5, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Gangnam, Seoul - Sponsored: This post was written after a sponsored in-store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-fork/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@weekday-fork/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/index.md) ## In short Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch is a gyukatsu (Japanese-style beef cutlet) restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building three minutes on foot from Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam, Seoul. Set 1, which pairs two sirloin gyukatsu with two drinks, costs 42,000 won, and a 1,000 won fried egg plus a 7,000 won karaage & fried shrimp plate rounded out the meal, each cutlet grilled on the tabletop plate and finished with a slice of butter. The butter-topped beef makes Ichigyu an easy Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon date pick, even for anyone trying gyukatsu for the first time. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2nd floor, 19 Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (3-minute walk from Sinnonhyeon Station, 9-minute walk from Gangnam Station) - **Set 1**: Sirloin gyukatsu + sirloin gyukatsu + 2 drinks (cola/cider), 42,000 won - **Sides**: Fried egg 1,000 won / Karaage & fried shrimp 7,000 won - **Parking**: No parking in the building; use nearby paid private lots (Le Meridien Lots 2 and 3, Semyeong Parking and others) *as written by the visitor on Sep 5, 2026* ![Signature photo of gyukatsu at Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-01-10ys1-1200.webp) Today I want to introduce a great spot for a Gangnam date. Around Gangnam Station and Sinnonhyeon Station there are so many good restaurants that it's hard to decide where to go — but I was suddenly craving gyukatsu (Japanese-style breaded beef cutlet), which I always love anyway!! So I went on a Gangnam Station date to eat gyukatsu. This is the gyukatsu specialty restaurant Ichigyu! ![Cross-section of gyukatsu, crispy outside and red inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-02-1pr3y-900.webp) Gyukatsu comes out crispy on the outside with a reddish, rare center inside. You grill it yourself on the tabletop plate that comes with it. It's fun to grill it yourself, and it tastes great too — I'd recommend this as a Gangnam Station date spot and a Sinnonhyeon restaurant worth visiting! ## Where is Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch, and where do you park? ![Exterior of the Ichigyu building, 3 minutes from Sinnonhyeon Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-03-c0bqf-900.webp) Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch is 3 minutes on foot from Sinnonhyeon Station and 9 minutes from Gangnam Station. It's really close to Sinnonhyeon Station, so accessibility is great! There's no parking inside the building, so you'll need to park at a nearby lot. Nearby paid private parking lots include Le Meridien Lot 2, Le Meridien Lot 3, and Semyeong Parking! ## Inside Ichigyu: the room and the menu ![Entrance passage to Ichigyu on the 2nd floor of the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-04-l36cd-900.webp) ![Clean, Japanese-style seating area inside Ichigyu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-05-q2f2c-900.webp) Head up to the 2nd floor of the building! You can also take the elevator. The interior had a Japanese feel and was clean and pleasant! Meat restaurants sometimes have that distinct smell, but this place was spotless~~ ![Ichigyu's à la carte and set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-06-1a70p-900.webp) ![Price list for Ichigyu's set menus and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-07-18ed3-900.webp) The menu has both individual dishes and set menus. We came specifically wanting to both eat gyukatsu, so we ordered Set 1 with two gyukatsu and drinks! What I ordered was, - Set 1 — Gyukatsu (sirloin) + Gyukatsu (sirloin) + 2 drinks (cola/cider), 42,000 won - Side dish — Fried egg, 1,000 won - Side dish — Karaage & fried shrimp, 7,000 won ## Set 1: grilling two sirloin gyukatsu on the tabletop plate ![Set 1 table setting with gyukatsu, rice, and grill plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-08-npgxt-900.webp) And here it comes~~ Doesn't the presentation alone look amazing? The gyukatsu spread comes with rice in the middle and a grill plate alongside. I opened the rice and steam was rising! Getting warm rice from the start was so nice,,,, the rice alone was delicious ㅠㅠ ![Plate of large sirloin gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-09-1q9wh-900.webp) Look at the gyukatsu... wow, it was bigger than I expected, and the meat looked really fresh too!!! ![Gyukatsu being grilled on the tabletop plate](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-10-19tan-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu cooking to the desired doneness](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-11-14dke-900.webp) You put it on the grill plate and cook it to your preferred doneness. ![A piece of gyukatsu placed on rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-12-1nodu-900.webp) ![Gyukatsu topped with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-13-974n3-900.webp) Depending on preference, I put some on rice and some with wasabi! But most of all, wow,,, since it's beef, the juices burst out the moment I bit in ㅠㅠㅠ And it was chewy and savory~ gyukatsu really is love. I eat gyukatsu often because I love it so much, and I couldn't believe there was a place doing it this well in Sinnonhyeon! ![Butter placed on top of the gyukatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-14-1s86l-900.webp) ### How to eat gyukatsu with butter on top of the beef And here's something interesting — they gave us butter? I'd never seen a place serve butter before! Looking at the instructions on how to eat it, it said to put butter on top of the meat, so I tried it once, and wow, this combo was seriously so good,,,? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Once I tried it, I kept putting butter on every bite! ![Fried egg ordered as a side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-15-2jti9-900.webp) ![Side plate of karaage and fried shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter-16-vg8ab-900.webp) ### Sides at Ichigyu: fried egg, karaage and fried shrimp We also enjoyed the fried egg and shrimp & karaage we ordered as sides. The fried items were, as expected, delicious, and putting the fried egg on rice with the gyukatsu added even more flavor and was really tasty haha That's my visit to Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch, a Sinnonhyeon restaurant. If you love gyukatsu like me, I think you'll be really satisfied here! Or if you've never tried gyukatsu before, this is a good place to start. I came out for a Gangnam Station date with a close friend after a while, and had a fun time — I'd recommend this as a place to check out near Gangnam Station. It was a delicious meal! ## Where it is - Ichigyu Gangnam Sinnonhyeon Branch (이치규 강남신논현점) - 2nd floor, 19 Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강남구 봉은사로4길 19 2층 - 37.5035097, 127.0266393 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B9%98%EA%B7%9C%20%EA%B0%95%EB%82%A8%EC%8B%A0%EB%85%BC%ED%98%84%EC%A0%90/@37.5035097,127.0266393,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekday-fork/ichigyu-sinnonhyeon-set-one-butter/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
