There are solo seats and cozy tables too, so I'd recommend it for both solo meals and dates near Konkuk Univ.!

## What to order at Kosi on a third visit

I came with my sister and ordered like this~

- Tori-ten bukkake udon set (₩15,000)
- Half-and-half katsu (₩13,000)
- Sweet potato cheese croquette 2p (₩3,500)
- Inari sushi 2p (₩2,000)
- Pepsi Zero (₩2,000)

![Table spread of the udon set and half-and-half katsu ordered at Kosi](https://img.superchart.com/images/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides-08-1m32d-900.webp)

### Tori-ten bukkake udon set, 15,000 won

First up is the tori-ten bukkake udon set that had me completely hooked last time - !! Order the set menu and you get a side of tempura too 🍤

![Tori-ten bukkake udon set with side tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides-09-pxloo-900.webp)

There's a sickness that only hits people who've had this place's udon — the house-made noodles are just on a completely different level..🫪 The chewy texture of the fresh noodles is honestly superb.. It's cold udon so you mix in as much tsuyu (dipping sauce) as you like

![Kosi's house-made cold udon noodles mixed with tsuyu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides-10-s3vbp-900.webp)

![Chopsticks lifting a strand of bukkake udon noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides-11-1u9ph-900.webp)

And another kicker is the crispy-outside-juicy-inside fried chicken thigh! It's so good I wondered if this was secretly a fried chicken specialist haha The other pieces of tempura that came with the set were also crisp like they'd just been fried, and I enjoyed every single one 💛

### Half-and-half katsu, 13,000 won: pork loin katsu plus cheese katsu

Next up is the half-and-half katsu! This place is actually really famous as a Konkuk Univ. katsu (pork cutlet) spot, but I hadn't tried the katsu menu until now ^_^ So today I ordered the full combo of pork loin katsu + cheese katsu 🫡

![Half-and-half katsu with pork loin katsu and cheese katsu](https://img.superchart.com/images/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides/koshi-konkuk-third-visit-sides-13-1s821-900.webp)

The pork loin katsu had thick meat with a thin batter, so it paired best with salt + wasabi, and the cheese katsu — you can see the cheese stretching, right? •• The cheese was so soft it didn't harden quickly! I could immediately see why this place is famous for katsu near Konkuk Univ. ㅠ

### Sweet potato cheese croquette, 2 pieces for 3,500 won

Next is the sweet potato cheese croquette I ordered as a side! I've had plenty of sweet potato croquettes that look like this before, but this one has actual cheese!!! melted right in the middle, so it melted away in my mouth ㅜㅜ Genuinely delicious 🍠

### Inari sushi, 2 pieces for 2,000 won

And the inari sushi (seasoned fried tofu pocket sushi) my sister loved so much last time! It's definitely a familiar flavor, but it's savory and mellow and delicious >_<
