Since the break time is 15:00–16:30, if you're going for lunch it's safer to get in before 14:30. ![Dining hall on a Saturday afternoon at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-10-fylb3-900.webp) ![Seated table at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-11-104ke-900.webp) ![Restaurant interior during weekend lunch at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-12-gb9fm-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch - Meat-loaded curry rice bowl set - Pork cutlet curry rice bowl - Under ₩30,000 total for two (high ₩20,000s) ![Two rice bowls ordered at Hekbap Konkuk University Main Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-13-1tnuf-900.webp) ![Full spread of the meat-loaded curry rice bowl set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-14-al4uf-900.webp) ![Side dishes that come with the set meal at Hekbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-15-wuba3-900.webp) ## Taste review: meat-loaded curry rice bowl set and pork cutlet curry rice bowl ### Meat-loaded curry rice bowl set The meat-loaded curry rice bowl set really lived up to its name — the amount of meat piled on top was genuinely generous. The curry was rich and deeply flavorful, so eating it with the rice made every single spoonful feel like happiness. Since it comes as a set, several dishes arrive together, so it was plenty to fill you up as a full meal. I could see why people call it the top curry pick among Konkuk restaurants. ![Close-up of the curry rice bowl piled with meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-16-1jowt-900.webp) ![A spoonful of rich curry and rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-17-1nfer-900.webp) ![Eating the meat-loaded curry rice bowl set](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-18-1ugk7-900.webp) ### Pork cutlet curry rice bowl For the pork cutlet curry rice bowl, the pork cutlet was fried really crispy. It sits right on top of the curry, so getting the moist curry together with the crunchy cutlet in one bite was such a great combination. The portion was generous too, so by the end I felt completely full. ![A bowl of pork cutlet curry rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-19-1k4k2-900.webp) ![Crispy pork cutlet paired with curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-20-1k0zp-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the pork cutlet curry rice bowl](https://img.superchart.com/images/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry/haekbap-kondae-weekend-lunch-curry-21-1lr6x-900.webp) ## Why Hekbap is worth it near Konkuk University Station I've been to several Hekbap branches, and the Konkuk main branch had the best facilities and the highest quality menu.
