Inside Jeongseong Katsu on a weekday afternoon: mood and seating

I visited after the weekday lunch rush had ended, but there were still customers scattered around. The gap between tables was comfortable and the chairs were comfy too, so I sat wherever I liked!

Menu and prices at Jeongseong Katsu, and what we ordered

Please check the photos for the menu !!! Besides basic katsu, there's a set menu you can enjoy a variety of dishes with even alone, noodles, rice bowls, and single dishes — so many choices, it was fun picking haha. We ordered like this !

• Triple mixed katsu ₩14,900
• Pocha ttangcho udon (spicy udon)
• Jeongseong homemade curry
• Extra rice
• Fanta pineapple

Jeongseong homemade curry

The Jeongseong homemade curry came out first. The curry smell was strong, topped generously with flakes and green onion, and the red bit was maybe shichimi..? Anyway, whatever it was, it was so delicious. Not too intense and not overdone, so you could mix this curry into rice and finish a whole bowl in no time!

Pocha ttangcho udon: the spicy broth we recommend as a hangover cure

The next dish out was the pocha ttangcho udon (spicy pojangmacha-style udon). Honestly, I wasn't expecting much?? I figured it'd just be regular udon, but there were even two pieces of fish cake like in photo 3, lots of variety in the toppings, and even the noodles were plentiful.. and the broth was so fiery that the alcohol from the night before just.. completely got cured?? Highly recommend haha

Triple mixed katsu at 14,900 won: what comes with it and how it tastes

Next up was the Jeongseong mixed katsu. It seemed to be cheese, tenderloin, and a basic one? The portion was more generous than I expected !!!

What comes with the katsu is seriously varied... Two kinds of salt, salad, a heaping bowl of rice, broth, curry, and side dishes all come out together, and the kimchi was properly aged kimchi? so it went perfectly nom nom with the katsu haha. The salad was also just right for whetting the appetite !!!

None of the katsu pieces were dry at all, so they just chewed smoothly. And the more you chewed, the more you could taste the meat's juiciness and flavor, so I never got tired of it through the whole meal — if anything my chopsticks kept going back for more haha. So delicious, highly recommend !
