It's unlimited, so it's amazing — but don't overdo it before the main food arrives, or you'll fill up too soon. ![Unlimited refill corner for broth and soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-12-1bbzu-900.webp) There's a self-serve packing station if you have leftovers to take home!

It tastes way better that way haha ![A cup of cream soup topped with pepper](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-15-f56ui-900.webp) ![Sweet potato cheese donkatsu and Jinsim King Jjolmyeon served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-16-1t9tm-1200.webp) ## 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 ![Sweet potato cheese donkatsu topped with sweet potato mousse](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-17-1w4b2-900.webp) Can you see how much sweet potato mousse is piled on top? How is anyone supposed to resist this. ![Cross-section of the sweet potato cheese donkatsu cut with a knife](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-18-5reg6-900.webp) ![Close-up of cheese pouring out of the donkatsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-19-vifcy-900.webp) 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](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-20-1olpf-900.webp) ## 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 ![Tangy and spicy Jinsim King Jjolmyeon after mixing](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-21-1aq9m-900.webp) ![Picking up a bite of jjolmyeon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-22-j3rnd-900.webp) ![Eating donkatsu and jjolmyeon together for lunch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch/pyeongdong-jinsim-king-tonkatsu-kiosk-lunch-23-1kihm-900.webp) 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?
