Table kiosk ordering at a Gwangju donkatsu restaurant: Jinsim King

Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch: hours and how to get there

Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch is a donkatsu place near Pyeongdong Station in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju, open every day from 10:00 to 21:00. I was craving donkatsu for lunch, so I went to Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch near Pyeongdong Station! Let's start with the info!

Daily 10:00 - 21:00 / Last order 20:30

There's a huge parking lot right in front of the restaurant, so don't sweat it about parking!

This is Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch!

There are a lot of tables inside, so it's good for eating in groups too. The place was clean, which I liked!

How the table kiosk and the one-item-per-person rule work

Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch has a kiosk at every table, and you pay right there! The rule here is one menu item per person, so make sure to stick to that!

On the table there's a detailed explanation of how to use the self-bar, the Naver receipt review event, and why the donkatsu looks reddish — check it out for reference!

Here's the menu — we ordered sweet potato cheese donkatsu and Jinsim King Jjolmyeon!

What is on the self-bar: leaf wraps, broth and soup refills

At the self-bar of Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch you can get unlimited lettuce wraps, broth, and soup. This is the self-bar! A lot of people wrap their donkatsu in lettuce here, so if you're into that, grab some lettuce too~

This is where you get broth and soup. It's unlimited, so it's amazing — but don't overdo it before the main food arrives, or you'll fill up too soon.

There's a self-serve packing station if you have leftovers to take home! If it feels like a waste to leave food behind, pack it up and take it with you haha

There's a knife and fork kept right beside the table, so you can grab them when it's time to cut your donkatsu haha

I'm the type who sprinkles pepper on the soup!! It tastes way better that way haha

How was the sweet potato cheese donkatsu?

The sweet potato cheese donkatsu comes piled high with sweet potato mousse, and cheese pours out when you cut into it. Our gochido and jjolmyeon arrived. Look at that visual~ absolutely insane haha

Can you see how much sweet potato mousse is piled on top? How is anyone supposed to resist this.

Can you see the cheese waterfall when the donkatsu gets cut open? This is exactly why gochido is love~~~! 💗

Jinsim King Jjolmyeon, served with disposable gloves

Jinsim King Jjolmyeon (spicy cold noodles) comes with disposable gloves for mixing it up. Mixing with chopsticks is a hassle, so they give you gloves instead — so much easier to mix!!! Tangy and spicy, there's no way it isn't delicious haha

When the gochido gets too rich, the jjolmyeon cuts through the greasiness, and when the jjolmyeon gets too spicy, the gochido mellows it out. Isn't that a dream combo haha

Is Jinsim King Donkatsu worth a return visit?

If you're looking for a good spot near Pyeongdong Station or a great lunch place, I recommend Jinsim King Donkatsu Pyeongdong Branch!! Would definitely go back ⭕⭕⭕
