Two people shared the Choi bone-in pork katsu at 16,500 won and the salmon futomaki 5P at 14,900 won for a total of 31,400 won, and the crisp breading and thick-cut pork paired well with the big futomaki rolls packed with chunky salmon.

Near Hyundai Premium Outlet Daejeon Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong is located on the 1st floor of 20 Gwandeul 4-gil, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. It's in the Gwanpyeong-dong area, not far from Hyundai Premium Outlet Daejeon, so it's a fine spot for a meal before or after shopping. ![Exterior and signage of Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong in Gwanpyeong-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-04-hicxj-966.webp) ![Menu banner set up at the entrance of Choi Dining](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-05-1hb1f-966.webp) ![Store entrance with weekday lunch Choi Han-sang signage](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-06-twd9e-966.webp) ![Parking signage in front of Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-07-1idmi-966.webp) The sign out front uses red and yellow, plus several menu banners, so it catches your eye right away, haha. Near the entrance, they had big displays for the weekday lunch Choi Han-sang discount and the summer-only cold salmon soba, lol. There was also parking signage in front, but the space isn't especially generous, so if you're driving, it's worth checking the surrounding area too. ![View near the entrance door of Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-08-1ebnr-966.webp) ## Inside Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong: atmosphere and seating Inside, it felt much brighter and cleaner than the exterior suggested, haha. White tables mixed with wood-tone chairs and yellow lighting give it more of a casual fusion dining vibe than a typical Japanese restaurant. ![Interior decorated with white tables and wood-tone chairs](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-09-1tmj0-966.webp) !["JAPANESE FUSION DINING" text on the wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-10-kmalh-966.webp) A large "JAPANESE FUSION DINING" phrase on the wall made the concept pretty clear, lol. In one corner there were also cute little decorations and cat figurines, which were surprisingly fun to look at, haha. ![Cat figurines and decorations placed in one corner of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-11-b4ux0-966.webp) ![Table seating at Choi Dining with comfortable spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-12-18pj7-966.webp) ![Tablet ordering device placed at each table](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-13-1cu92-966.webp) The tables weren't cramped, and each one had a tablet, so we could order comfortably without calling a staff member over. It's introduced as a spot that draws a lot of Gwanpyeong-dong office workers at lunch, so peak times could get somewhat busy. ## Choi Dining menu and prices The menu really did have a lot of options, haha. Along with the signature salmon futomaki 5P at ₩14,900 and tempura futomaki 5P at ₩14,900, there was soba maki, cube salmon donburi, pork toro donburi, maze soba, and more. ![Choi Dining menu board listing futomaki and katsu prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-14-1jt2k-966.webp) For katsu, there's the Choi bone-in pork katsu at ₩16,500 and uni-topped katsu don, plus quite a few fusion-style dishes like spicy yakisoba, pork jowl and wild garlic oil pasta, and whole bacon cream pasta, lol. On a first visit, you could spend a while just deciding what to order, haha. This time, I was curious about the futomaki and wanted katsu too, so we ordered both. - Choi bone-in pork katsu ₩16,500 - Salmon futomaki 5P ₩14,900 - Total came to ₩31,400, lol ![Two plates of ordered bone-in pork katsu and salmon futomaki](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-15-18gx2-966.webp) ![A plate of golden-fried Choi bone-in pork katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-16-1r6y7-966.webp) ## Choi bone-in pork katsu, 16,500 won: size and crunch What caught my eye first was definitely the Choi bone-in pork katsu. The moment it hit the table, the size alone made an impression, haha. It's a large bone-in cutlet fried whole, and the whole surface was golden brown, so it looked crispy just from the picture, lol. It comes with rice, cabbage salad, cherry tomatoes, and a separate sauce. Taking a bite, the breading wasn't too thick and had a nice crisp crunch, haha. The meat inside was thicker than expected too, so it wasn't just about the breading — you could really taste the meat. The katsu itself wasn't over-seasoned, so eating it plain and then dipping lightly into the sauce worked perfectly, lol. The portion was fairly large, and with the futomaki on top of it, it was quite filling for two. ![A piece of futomaki with thick salmon filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-17-m135y-966.webp) ## Salmon futomaki 5P, 14,900 won: fillings and size And the salmon futomaki at Choi Dining was another one that's hard to skip visually, haha. If you're expecting a bite-sized roll like regular gimbap (seaweed rice roll), you'll be surprised by how large these are, lol. Looking at the cross-section, the salmon was thick, and it was packed with egg, pickled radish, vegetables, and tempura bits. The orange salmon in particular was cut generously, so one bite gave you soft salmon, crunchy vegetables, and savory egg all at once, haha. One piece near the front even had a big shrimp tempura tucked in, so there was fun in picking through different bites, lol. With this many ingredients, futomaki can sometimes taste muddled, but the salmon held the center well, so it felt more balanced than I expected. That said, given the size, it's probably more comfortable to share than to try to eat each piece in one bite, haha. Going from the crispy, savory katsu to the soft, refreshing salmon futomaki, the two dishes paired nicely, lol. Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong isn't just a katsu place — I liked that you can try futomaki, maze soba, donburi, and pasta all in one restaurant. ![Final table setup with katsu and futomaki placed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki-18-9ktrr-966.webp) If you're looking for a Gwanpyeong-dong restaurant or a place near Hyundai Outlet Daejeon and want something a little different, it's worth a visit, haha. Next time, I'd like to try the maze soba and the pork jowl wild garlic oil pasta we didn't get to this time, lol. If you like futomaki, don't skip the salmon futomaki — order it along with your katsu 😊 ## Where it is - Choi Dining Daejeon Gwanpyeong (초이다이닝 대전관평점) - 20 Gwandeul 4-gil, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, South Korea, 1st floor - 대전광역시 유성구 관들4길 20 1층 - 36.4241863, 127.393145 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%B4%88%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EB%8B%9D%20%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%84%EA%B4%80%ED%8F%89%EC%A0%90/@36.4241863,127.393145,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekend-cafe-circuit/choi-dining-daejeon-gwanpyeong-bone-katsu-salmon-futomaki/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
