Underground D24 parking, CatchTable waiting at Gyuen-dang, Gwanggyo

I was looking for a Japanese restaurant near Gwanggyo Jungang Station and found this place, which turns out to be famous as a gyukatsu spot near Ajou University too 'ᴗ' 🤎 If it were closer I think I'd go every time I got a craving for gyukatsu. I visited ❛ Gyuen-dang Avenue France Gwanggyo Branch ❜.

Tip before you go: register a wait on CatchTable

Looking at other reviews of this Suwon Gwanggyo spot, the wait during mealtimes can apparently get pretty long .ᐟ

I'd recommend registering a wait on CatchTable before you go 🤎

Gyuen-dang's menu

The main menu item is gyukatsu ◡̎ — tenderloin and sirloin gyukatsu, plus rice bowls like the steak bowl and tsukune (chicken meatball) bowl. There are also à la carte items like potato curry, atsuatsu (piping hot) udon, brie cheese omurice, and hamburg omurice, along with highballs and beer 🍻 ˚₊‧

They're also running an event where leaving a Naver review gets you a free mini okonomiyaki (2 pieces) — worth noting!

Tenderloin gyukatsu, ₩24,000

Tenderloin gyukatsu, ₩24,000. The basic side dishes that come with any gyukatsu order include a salad that cuts through the richness nicely, miso soup, spicy pickled radish, wasabi and sauce, and Isigny butter 🤎

Just visually, it couldn't not taste good 🥹 crisp outside, tender inside .. such a thin coating 💯

I think the biggest perk is that you get your own mini charcoal brazier and can cook it exactly how you like ◖₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎◗˞͛♪ Grilling little pieces at a time while chatting made it feel like a great date-course spot in Gwanggyo, Suwon too.

Sirloin gyukatsu, ₩19,000

The sirloin gyukatsu at ₩19,000 came with the same basic sides as the tenderloin ✨

Just follow the gyukatsu-eating instructions sitting on the table 🕊️

Melting the butter first and then grilling the gyukatsu in it made it so much richer and more tender 💯

My husband asked if gyukatsu was always this good .. 🥹🤎 and said he finally understood why I kept singing the praises of gyukatsu and asking to go eat it 𓂃˖

Tenderloin or sirloin — which to order

Of all the gyukatsu I've had, Gyuen-dang's tenderloin gyukatsu was the best ✨ If you're visiting with a baby, I'd recommend ordering the tenderloin! The sirloin has a bit more chew to it, while the tenderloin is so soft that babies would probably eat it well too 👶

You don't even need another sauce — just a bit of wasabi on top was already delicious!

If you're looking for a good gyukatsu restaurant in Gwanggyo, I'd recommend Gyuen-dang 🍽️
