Restaurants in Daehakro | Jeongdon Tonkatsu
I went to Jeongdon, a famous tonkatsu specialty store in Daehakro called “Life Tonkatsu†for many people. It's a very popular place, so I went in time for the opening time of 11:30.
If you miss this time, you'll have to wait a long time, so if you're about to play in the afternoon, be sure to visit early.
Business hours: 11:30 ~ 21:00 (L.O)/Break time 14:00 (L.O) ~ 17:00
Phone number: 02-987-0924
Shortly after it opened, all seats except reserved seats were filled with customers. It wasn't a small store, but I thought it was amazing. You've come to the right place…
Sirloin pork cutlet (220g) 12,000 won
Tenderloin pork cutlet (220g) 13,000 won
Sirloin/tenderloin (220/75g) 16,000 won
They also sell special pork cutlets and curry pork cutlets. We ordered a soft tenderloin pork cutlet.
Tenderloin (tenderloin) is a red meat that is soft and not greasy, and is said to be the most luxurious part of pork in the Western world. It is said that sirloin (roast pork loin) has a nice, crunchy texture.
Therefore, any tonkatsu restaurant or tenderloin (tenderloin) is a little more expensive.
The cabbage salad dressing is a soy sauce-based yuzu sauce made by Jeongdon
The pork cutlet sauce comes with a basic sauce and white salt/lemon salt, but it was my first time eating pork cutlet with salt instead of sauce, so it felt different. Also, even if the meat itself is delicious, it's OK to season it with a little salt.
There are three side dishes: kimchi, pickled peppers, and beet pickles. I don't know about kimchi, and the other two are made by hand at Jeongjeon.
When I looked at the picture, I was a little worried because the amount of tenderloin seemed small, but I ate it to my heart's content because it was thicker and bigger than I thought. The batter is thin and removes grease easily, so I didn't feel that much.

★★★★★
Tonkatsu itself is a delicious food, so it's one of the least popular dishes. I felt that the flavor was very similar because it was a medium meal when eaten, but the quality of Jeong Don's pork cutlet was definitely different.
This was a restaurant I would have liked to be able to recommend to people around me. I don't think I'll go all the way to Daehakro to eat pork cutlets, but if I go to see a concert, I'm willing to come back.
