I've been wanting to try Lasung House, but because there was a craze I wanted to visit when the line and hype died down. I came in for lunch, and had to order the Pork Cutlet because this is their signature dish - known for how big the cutlet is. And it did not disappoint! I ordered both the Half & Half Pork Cutlet, which comes with their classic donkatsu sauce and their spicy sauce, and their Cheese Pork Cutlet. Both the regular pork cutlet and the cheese pork cutlet were delicious. The cutlets were nice and crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I also tried their Cream Seafood Pasta and Spaghetti Bolognese. The cream pasta was my favorite out of the two. It had lots of shrimp and mussels, and the sauce was so creamy and flavorful. I'd definitely be back just for this pasta. I also loved the creative touch of the passport-themed placemat. It added to the experience and made it feel like you were taking a little culinary trip to Korea! Cute concept and good food!
I love this place! The ambiance is always soft and subtitle inside. The service and staff is always amazing and attentive. I usually come here for lunch and order a Pork Katsu plate. The spicy katsu can be on the spicy side (78/10 spice level). I love the soup they provide in the beginning because it's usually cold inside the restaurant. The serving sizes are great and I will always come back!
Amazing as usual! We came in mid day on Fathers Day and it wasn't too packed at all. They have a small parking lot so be careful of that if you come when its busy. The place is clean, upscale, and has a nice atmosphere for bringing groups to. We were sat right away and ordered on the kiosks at the table. The portions are MASSIVE, all the sides and everything that comes with the katsu plates are impeccable quality. We always make the drive here for our favorite katsu and their delicious tomato sauce to pair with. Cant wait to come back! PS they sell their delicious katsu sauce in a jar separately so we can enjoy it at home too yay!
Lasung refers to a traditional dish or a character trait. "Hello, my name is Ron W. and I am an addict. I would slow dance on glowing coals to eat a proper Donkatsu (Breaded Pork Cutlet). I'm here to share as I've been clean and satiated for one day". This square spotless box turns out a version worthy enough to support an LA support group (Donkatsu Anonymous). The surrounding neighborhood is kinda funky but you have a better chance of getting bonked on the head in Beverly Hills for sporting a Roberto Cavalli purse or a Rollie Yacht Master. Park in the tiny lot and figure out how to maneuver out later. The Decor: Full Tech. Headsets for Servers to pass orders to the busy kitchen, a bolted down computer monitor to poke pictures of what you want or if you ask politely you can have a laminated geezer Menu to peruse. The dining room feels like a surgical suite because it's as clean as one. Concrete flooring and faux marble tables insure the K-Pop loop will bounce around the space like a racquetball. The vibe is a Donkatsu factory cranking out mega Cutlets the size of a truck tire. Staff: 2nd and 3rd generations of K-kids, all friendly, helpful and eager to please as your new puppy. Quick as crystal, food begins to appear moments after you've ordered. What's to eat? America's favorite flavor is crispy and the Donkatsu here qualifies. They use fresh Asian style Panko with jagged larger shards than massed produced breadcrumbs, ergo, the crust is very crunchy as it should be. Your Server will bring a carafe full of Ice Water before running to the kitchen and returning with a cup of Cream of Corn Soup. It was interesting. Not very Corny as much as Roux-y, but either way I defy you not to finish it. Next out is a modest Banchan offering (a traditional bottomless tasting of pickled this and that). Here, it was three items, Spicy Persian Cucumbers in a Gochujang Siracha Sauce that had crunch and an easy twang of heat, pickled half moons of Daikon, and in third place some pickled Jalapenos with enough heat to put you in a braced attention. Nibble on all that for a few minutes as the Donkatsu is not far behind. The dinner plates and their cargo are so substantial they can only be carried one at time. I looked up from my Chopsticks vice griping a Daikon and witnessed a monster Cutlet wending its way to my table. That thing would be more than Godzilla could eat. "Did you invite your entire family to join us?" I asked the Server. "Of course they are all welcome and if they all showed up there would still be plenty of left overs to take home". At this point its time to talk Donkatsu, but before we do, there are side dishes that accompany each Cutlet. A mound of White Rice for mopping up the Sauces (Spicy, Regular and Curry or all three at the same time), a shredded Cabbage Salad with islandless Thousand Island Dressing, and a large spoon of delicious delicate Mac 'n Cheese. Mini Elbows with a light cheesy Sauce and a sprinkle of Corn Kernels that may have escaped from the Soup. No matter, it was wonderful. The pasta was dispatched as if I was challenging Joey Chestnut. A first look at the size of the Cutlet made me think this was a Squid Game I might not survive. This is a thin Donkatsu for maximum crunch. You can find 1 1/2 inch thick Cutlets but not here where actual size matters. The meat is tender once you saw through the edges. You want porky chew in every bite, order the Rose Cutlet which is more fatty creating extra tenderness and taste. Does the Cutlet here equal the pillow sized beast which flops over the huge plate at all four compass points? Arguably, Lasung's Cutlet does. Should Lasung make a Cutlet with a spritz of Lemon Juice, a tablespoon of Capers, several crosses of Anchovy Filets and half a dozen Fried Eggs on top? Absolutely, of course they should as Seoul is only 6,129 miles from Vienna. All things considered this place is well Lasung.
HUGE portions, great for sharing! Parking was not atrocious considering it is in the heart of Koreatown. Comes with free corn soup.
Cute little restaurant down the street from their mother restaurant Lasung Tofu. Went for their famous cutlet but of course had to add on the rose spaghetti because why not. Ordered the chicken cutlet (choice of pork or chicken). You can also choose between the classic sauce vs spicy. You can also request for half and half to try them both. Honestly I did prefer the classic sauce. The spicy one was a bit spicy for my palate. Overall 3.5 out of 5 for me. But their portions were huge. Can literally feed 2-3 adult women. The rose spaghetti was pretty good. I am biased over rosé flavored anything. I would recommend you order this. Also saw a few tables ordering the Korean cold noodles. It looks super delicious. And it was humongous in portion. Will definitely be coming back over this summer to try it. Overall good Korean comfort food. Casual dining and fast service.
Not a fan of noodle in general so I enjoyed the katsu so much more than the noodle. My friends who like the noodles loved it though
I just love Lasung House! It's a great option when I want to be guaranteed a walk-in table and a delicious meal with leftovers. They have a small parking lot that is a bit hard to maneuver but having a tiny lot in Koreatown is always helpful. Staff is always so nice & attentive here, on top of everything. I've been here a few times now and have loved everything I've tried. I love that they start you with Korean cream soup. It's so simple and one of my favorite things. The Rose Pork Cutlet ($23 , add cheese for $2 more) is quite spicy but in a good way if you can handle heat. My personal favorite item though to order is the Fish Cutlet ($20). Like with all the portions here, it's huge providing tons of leftovers. The taste is just perfect, crisp on the outside with a flavorful and plump interior. Very solid dishes all around at Lasung House that keep me coming back. Their Sikhye Slush ($6) is a nice meal finisher! One small note, their hours say they are open until 930pm but we once went in at 855pm and they wouldn't seat us. So~~~~closing times don't seem to correspond to last seating times.
Dine LA deal for $25 is a good deal. Giant cutlet, jumbo shrimp, pasta, and etc. Flavors were solid. Quality was good. Overall would recommend eating here.
Came for the Dine LA deal and it was lots of food for $25 per person! Good amount of space in the restaurant and was seated quickly at 3 pm. The deal includes a creamy soup. A refreshing Shikhye drink that is not too sweet. The spicy rose spaghetti was creamy but has a strong kick. Beware if you are not used to spicy. The crispy pork cutlet was thin and crispy but a bit hard and dry. The curry sauce was very tasty and one of my favorite. Option to get that spicy as well. The chicken cutlet was better and wasn't too dry. Great deal but have had better katsu before. The curry, I would come back to. Got lucky with street parking here.
What an absolute treat!!! I've already planned to come back again hahaha. My friend and I decided to come and try their dine-la menu for 25$ and we left with our bellies and hearts full. Some of these restaurants like to skimp out and serve half portions or even less during dine la but for LaSung House this couldn't be further from that. For 25$ you get to choose between a large portion of pork or chicken cutlet with rice, salad, and macaroni on the side. It doesn't stop there....you also get to choose between spicy noodles or spicy rose pasta. But wait...there's more! You also can pick between two of their sweet rice drinks and also served with a complementary soup + banchan. I mean can you even believe it?!?! In this day and economy???? Furthermore everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. The pork cutlet came out so quick and was sooooo crunchy and moist. Goodness!! Pairing that with the curry sauce I was almost brought to tears at how much flavor was going on. The rose pasta was simply delicious and delivered such a nice kick!!! Truly spicy which I adored. The cold noodles did not disappoint as well but I did prefer the rose pasta. The cool myself down, the refreshing rice drink was heaven in my mouth along with the creamy soup. Overall we were absolutely satisfied and stuffed!! I can't wait to come back again. There's also a little parking space right next to the establishment. Final Verdict: Porkfection!!!! ;)
Korean comfort food as advertised! But the cool thing is that the comfort food they offer is pretty much universal. Who wouldn't want a beautiful giant piece of crispy boneless chicken with nice fluffy steaming white rice?! The Fried Shrimp works with the rice too. You could use the curry sauce or not, but it just adds to the warmth in your tummy and chest when you eat a bite full with a little bit of everything. The potato soup is delicious and filling! Really, if you wanted a light lunch, the soup will do all by itself. There was no line to get in and we were seated at an empty table right away. You put your order in the monitor set right there on your own table. They offer frozen versions of the breaded meats. I doubt my frying skills will be as good as theirs, but if you want to have back up food in your freezer in case of an emergency, they have it available!
This place has the biggest cutlet in town!!!! I came across this restaurant online, and people were raving about its gigantic cutlets. As a foodie, I decided to check it out myself and make my own judgment. It did not disappoint! The chicken cutlet was about the size of two palms, and the pork cutlet was even bigger. OMG! I definitely couldn't finish either one. The cutlet was crunchy, and the meat was tender. Loved it--definitely a signature dish. I also tried the seafood pasta, and to be honest, the seafood was on the stingy side. There were only about six pieces, and I don't think it offers the best value--especially since one of the mussels had only the shell, with no meat inside. The ragù pasta had a slight kick to it, which added some nice flavor. It's still enjoyable even if you can't handle spicy food. Did I mention the corn soup that came before the entrée? It's the bomb! I'm addicted to this creamy soup. I would totally order a big bowl of it and eat it as a meal on its own. Don't forget to try their rice punch as a dessert drink. The regular rice punch is sweeter, while the pumpkin rice punch was a bit bland in comparison. The staff here was friendly, and parking was easy since they have their own parking lot. I would definitely come back for the corn soup and those gigantic cutlets.
This spot makes some of the best pork cutlets in LA. -Pork Cutlet with Shrimp Set: Really good. The portion of pork cutlet was quite large. The pork cutlet had an excellent crispy exterior, and also had a delicious hint of smoky flavor to it. And the meat of the pork was perfectly tender. The shrimp was tasty as well. The two sauces that came with this were delicious. -Rose Spaghetti: Unique. Spaghetti noodles had excellent texture. Sauce had a nice spicy kick to it. -Tteokbokki: This was not bad. I liked the other dishes described above better though. read more

Why are you expected to leave a tip if there is no full service dine in? You order on a tablet...just like in Korea, where there is no tipping. Minimal interaction with any server. The dine LA deal is also a complete scam as the value of what you get is $52 compared to the $50 you pay as a "deal". The standard for 18-22% tips is for full service dine in. I expect to have a server take my order, be checked in on consistency, have my water refilled, etc. There is none of this here..? I find it odd that you want to implement easier faster ordering service like in Korea (all digital) yet want to guilt American guests who are used to tipping when dining in into tips? Why do your staff deserve the same tips as other servers who actually do full service for their guests? If you come here, you should not tip. It's getting ridiculous at this point. read more
Korean katsu, huge portions What I ate: - Shrimp and pork katsu with half and half sauce: The pictures do not lie, these katsu pieces are HUGGGEEEEE. 1 could probably feed 3 people, or 2 hungry people. I'm a sauce person so I like the half and half because it's regular katsu sauce and spicy katsu sauce. Since I got the huge shrimp there was also tartar sauce. The katsu is fried and a bit on the oily side, but what do you expect from fried food? The pork is not too thin, and not too dry. Shrimp also huge and well fried. They give you a tiny scoop of rice, mac salad, and shaved lettuce salad - Spicy cold noodles: With all that fried food you really need something spicy and refreshing and these noodles hit the spot. Full of lettuce and veggies, make this nice and refreshing. It is on the spicy side but it makes a great pairing for the fried katsu - Beer on tap - Each table has an order menu tap screen - The tiniest free parking lot in the world, enough for around 8 cars, a dream in ktown - Staff was very friendly - Can purchase premade katsu cutlets to take home Cons - Pricy, but so easy to share with people. I think you could get away with ordering 1katsu dish and 1 noodle dish and feed 3 adults - High ceilings so it can be really loud in there - The tables are honestly too small for how big their dishes are Would I come again? If I was craving moan katsu, yes read more

Lasung House is one of those spots that surprises you in the best way. The pork cutlet is so good: perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and clearly made with care. The rose pork cutlet is a standout too, rich, creamy, and perfectly spicy without overpowering the dish. And don't sleep on the curry sauce... it's absolutely awesome, deep, savory, and ties everything together beautifully. If you're craving comfort food with bold flavors and generous portions, this place delivers. I came for tofu house vibes and left thinking about that pork cutlet. Definitely coming back. Service was great too! read more
This place has been on my try list for a while and my partner & I were sooooo happy and satisfied finally trying it!! The cutlet is indeed HUGE. definitely share between at least two people (although probably opt to buy an extra rice!) We ordered the pork cutlet (with shrimp) with the curry sauce on top and the mozzarella. My partner says the mozzarella is a must, super yummy, and I agree (but the cheese felt like a lot and super heavy for me at some points so maybe next time i'd go with a non cheese lover so i don't have to share a mozarella topped one). The pairing of the sauce and cheese on top of the cutlet paired together really well, and I feel like it was well cooked and yummy. Also, they torch the mozzarella on top which is fun! The shrimp was also well cooked -- glistening and juicy on the inside. It came with its own tartar sauce on top as well! The cream pasta with seafood was yummy, but not a show stopper to me if i'm honest. Maybe i'll order it again, idk, but i'm definitely coming back for the katsu. So delicious! Ordering off the tablet was super efficient, and the staff was kind. Definitely adding to my faves in ktown. :) read more
I got the Cheese Pork Cutlet! The portion is SO HUGE. It is definitely more than enough to share between two people. We ordered via tablet and the waiter kindly brought the food + torched the cheese table side for us! The katsu itself is a light crispiness with minimal batter, but WOW! They do put a lot of sauce. It's a sweet and tangy katsu sauce, which I found very satisfying. But after a while, the sauce did cause the katsu to get a little soggy. If you eat slow, you may want the sauce on the side! I also loved the complimentary cream soup! :D read more
Super simple dishes yet packed with so much flavor! Lasung House (not to be confused with Lasung Tofu) specializes in chicken and port cutlets. As seen in the pictures, they are absolutely huge and can definitely feed two people. I came with a friend for lunch on Saturday and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was actually full and we got the last remaining table. We ordered the original pork cutlet with cheese and a spicy cold buckwheat noodle dish. We thought that these two dishes paired really well with each other, since the tonkatsu feels a lot heavier. I was super happy with the dishes we got and they were both absolutely delicious and filling. They have a new rosé menu too that I actually really wanna try next time! The decor of the restaurant is minimalist with decorations and pictures of LA. Overall, good vibes and good service. As a minor side note, they had an option on the ordering tablet to scan a QR code to place an order for Rok matcha in advance but the QR codes don't seem to be working! (edit - it's working!!) read more
Happy to say, Lasung is worth the hype!! I went on Saturday at 11:15am and was seated promptly. They do seem to have a small parking lot which is always a plus in Ktown. The interior is bright and spacious. Each table was a self ordering monitor. The menu wasn't too extensive either. I got the spicy pork cutlet. Initially I was concerned that it'd be too spicy but it wasn't! The sauce does have a bit of a kick but it was very good. The meal comes with some ban chans like pickled radish (danmuji), spicy radish (kkakdugi), and jalapeños. It also had a very tasty cream soup. Yes, the cutlets are MASSIVE! I was really impressed that the cutlets were not only crispy, but still tender inside. I feel like when most places who try to make the giant cutlets, the cutlets end up way overcooked and hard. The cutlet comes on a plate with rice, salad, and macaroni. All delicious! I had leftovers for dinner :) read more
Solid Korean styled donkatsu! Got their half and half sauce (regular and spicy), as well as their buckwheat cold noodles. Solid Korean styled sauce and overall solid experience. They give soup before the food. For larger parties, need majority of party present to be seated. Order through iPad on each table. There's a small parking lot with limited spots; may need to street park. read more
This place has some of the most satisfying pork cutlets, and you can request the sauce on the side so it stays perfectly crispy. They also have jjolmyeon and udon if you're not in the mood for pork cutlet. The jjolmyeon portion is pretty big--most adults can't finish it, so it's perfect for sharing if you still want to try it. Just a note: the spicy sauce for the pork cutlet is definitely too spicy for kids. Parking-wise, there's a lot right next to the restaurant, but it's usually reserved, so you'll likely need to find street parking read more
Wow, wow, and wow. We absolutely love Lasung House. Staff is amazing and the space is great. We ordered the Cheese pork, Omelette rice, and a side of curry sauce. plenty to feed three of us and have leftovers. The pork cutlet was super crispy and flaky with a tender interior. It had amazing flavor with the sauce and just the right amount of cheese. The omelette was fluffy with delicious fried rice underneath. And that curry sauce is one of the best I've had in LA read more
Huge serving! Was nearby (my salon is next door) and this was recommended by my stylist so me and my son went here a couple of Saturdays ago - we arrived past 2:30 so there were seats available. You get seated and you order from the screen, the servers come with water and side dishes. My stylist suggested to get 1 cutlet and 1 noodle. We ordered the spicy pork cutlet (so big - can definitely feed 2) and the udon noodles. The sauce on the cutlet was definitely spicy - my son wanted it but if it were me I would've gotten the regular option. Soup and udon was good but wasn't that memorable. Good price if you're looking for value. The space looks new - it was my first time here so not sure if they're new or newly renovated. Love the high ceiling and the murals, it's a good place to meet up not sure though how busy it gets but they have a waitlist by the door so if you go at a busy time you probably can't stay too long. read more
My first time visiting was on April 20, 2024, and went there again for the second time was Friday evening, October 24. When I went last year in April, the restaurant had just opened, so it was quite busy, and we had to wait to get a table. But when I went this past Friday evening, we were seated right away. Last year, I had the regular pork cutlet, but this time I tried the snow cheese pork cutlet -- both were delicious. The portions here are huge, the food is tasty, and the staff are very friendly, which I really like. Especially the soup they serve as a complimentary appetizer for all customers -- it's so good that I always ask for a refill and end up having it twice. This place is delicious and friendly, but the food can feel a bit heavy after eating. And, parking lot is very small. read more
I was staying in the area temporarily and Lasung was across the street. I figured that since I'm in Ktown I might as well try it out. I came in outside of the lunch rush so I was seated pretty quickly. I ordered the Pork Cutlet Half & Half ($19.99), which also came with a small bowl of creamy soup. The portions are MASSIVE. You could definitely split a plate between 2 people, and I ended up taking half of it home with me for a whole second meal. Both the spicy and the regular curry were great and I honestly don't think that I prefer one over the other. And for it being my first time here it was good to be able to try both flavors in the same visit. Service was pretty quick. They are on top of getting you everything that you needed in order to keep the tables moving in and out. Anything that I requested, they brought out pretty quickly, and my food came out at a decent time as well. I can definitely see this place getting pretty loud when it's crowded but while I was there most of what I could hear was just the music through the speakers. If I'm in the area I would definitely come back again. The pork cutlet was just so delicious and for $20 you get a lot of it. I saw that they did DineLA last month so I'll have to keep an eye out for it the next time that comes around and maybe I'll be able to try more of the items on their menu. read more
A late review, since we came during Dine LA; we actually wanted to try Lasung Tofu, but it was such a crazy wait and we didn't want to wait hours, so we walked over here instead. And, it was pretty good. Service was ok, restaurant vibe was also ok, but the value for the menu was great. Also, we enjoyed the food. The portions, even for Dine LA, were huge. We enjoyed everything we had, so will definitely be back in the future. read more
Really great place located in Koreatown. We came here because we were in a bit of a rush because 2 of the restaurants that we walked to took cash only and we did not have any cash. I must say, it definitely was a good surprise coming upon this place! The portions were absolutely massive and I really enjoyed the fact that you order from a tablet at the table. We got the omelette rice and the pork curry. I thought that the omlette rice was good, a bit sweet for my taste, and the curry was great. They also come out with a cream soup before your meal so that is really nice. The restaurant was also very clean and the ambiance was really nice! Overall, I would recommend coming here! Parking might be difficult to find but we went at an odd time so we got good parking. read more

My partner and I went to Lasung House when they had their DineLA deal so all of this was $25 each! The service was good and nice since they also had tablets at the tables and a notify staff button if you have questions or concerns! The ambiance was pretty loud since so many people were in! Cream soup: basic cream soup. Nothing too fancy! Pork and Shrimp Cutlet: the curry/sauce provided was a nice tangy and spicy kick of flavor to dip the pork in! The shrimp was HUGE and had a nice pairing with the tartar sauce! The Mac and lettuce was a nice balance to eat with the meal! Cold wheat noodles: nice and refreshing taste after eating the tonkatsu! Mix in wasabi to have a nicer taste! Watermelon Sikhye: super nice and refreshing drink to have with the meal! TIP: Come later in the afternoon/night to find some parking! Street parking is a bit limited and they do have a parking lot with 3-5 spaces! There's also one restroom in the restaurant! read more
Now I understand why people love this restaurant: the batter is CRISPY and FLAKY, the portions are GENEROUS, and the prices are affordable. Coincidentally, the DineLA deal was still available, so I ordered the Jumbo Black Tiger Shrimp and Pork Cutlet Set, Spaghetti Bolognese, and Watermelon Shikhye (rice punch). The jumbo-sized katsu and two shrimp were more than enough to fill me up. However, the deal included the spaghetti, and I was practically trying to take in every bite to finish. Along with the cutlet, they serve a flavorful Korean-style dipping sauce, sweet and runny. One downside: the parking situation. Their limited lot requires multiple three-point turns to exit, and it feels like a hit-and-run waiting to happen. Just saying. If you can, look for street parking nearby instead. read more

Lasung House's Cream Pasta with Seafood and the Pork Cutlet were both delicious. The Cream Pasta with Seafood was creamy with shrimp and clams. The Pork Cutlet was huge and crispy on the outside. The house sauce complemented the cutlet well, and it also came with sides of rice, salad, and macaroni. read more
Never in my life had I had such HUGE portions at an incredible price! Lasung House is known for their Korean curries and ramen. We ordered their signature Pork Cutlet and Udon Noodles to share. It came with a side of Creamy Corn Soup, sooooo delicious! I loved how they give you the option to add sauce on top or on the side. The plate is HUGE, so beware and COME HUNGRY! The spacious is aesthetic and retro, pretty small. I was able to avoid the long lines by coming at an early hour for lunch! The staff were top notch and checked with us attentively. I had a lovely experience here and recommend this place, if you have not already been! read more

Went for Dine LA and this deal was amazing! It came with pork katsu, noodles, sikhye, and a side of soup for $25. The katsu didn't have a lot of breading which made it easy to eat. The noodles are a bit spicy but they're really tasty and refreshing. I enjoyed the side of corn soup that they gave and the watermelon sikhye was a very refreshing touch. I'll have to come back to try other items in their menu! read more
Good food for the value! We ordered the spicy pork cutlet with the sauce on the side and the seafood pasta! Everything came with small sides and cream soup. Portions are large enough to share, we didnt finish everything! Service and ordering all done on the ipad which is super convenient. The servers checked up on us and I would highly recommend eating her. read more
Lasung House has giant cutlets of pork, shrimp, and fish, plus interesting pasta plates. If you enjoy noshing on crunchy comforting food, this is the place. I haven't done DineLA in a minute, but for $25 they really treat you to a feast. Plus, you can enjoy a Modelo for only $5! After a cup of cream soup and some banchan, the plates will soon grab all the real estate on your table. Spicy Cold Wheat Noodle: This refreshing noodle salad rests on a base of cabbage, red cabbage, bean sprouts, cucumbers, and lettuce. The chewy noodles are great with the crispy greens. The gochugang sauce is more sweet than spicy. Pork and Black Tiger Shrimp Cutlet: Like a giant schnitzel, the pounded pork is thin, flat, and huge. The breading is unbelievably light and crispy. The gravy is amazing with a Cajun-like flavor that you'll want to pour over everything. Its creamy sweet flavors top the crispy cutlet beautifully. Come hungry because there's also rice, cabbage with thousand island dressing, and an orange mac salad. Oh yeah, there's also a couple giant fried shrimp with a nice tartar sauce. Shikye Slush: This slushie is a frozen barley tea containing a lot of sugar. Dining Room: The bright space is big with high ceilings. There are three rows of about seven tables each. Parking: There's a cramped tiny lot to the side, but in K-Town, this is huge. read more
It was quite busy during lunch time. Didn't have to wait long for a table though. ~DINELA EVENT~ - Watermelon Shikhye 5/5 Very refreshing, tasted like cold watermelon slush! - Shikhye 4.1/5 Refreshing, sweet. Preferred the watermelon more. - Pork Cutlet 5/5 Thin and crispy pork cutlet. It was huge. The donkatsu sauce is too sweet for my taste. The macaroni salad had no flavor. - Chicken Cutlet 3.9/5 Too thin so it wasn't juicy, almost overcooked. Still yummy. - Spicy Cold Noodle 1.9/5 Noodles too thick , lots of vegetables. - Cold Buckwheat Noodle 5/5 Cold soba noodles in icy broth, this was DELICIOUS. It would be perfect on a hot day. [RECOMMEND] Tiny parking lot, street parking was hard to find. read more

It is really big~~~ size donkatsu! So we (2person) order one katsu and momil noodel. It was perfect combination. The katsu's sauce is little bit spicy so it doesn't make the taste boring. Creme soup (entree) is free to serve! And I like Korean Kkacdugi for side dish(radish kimchi). Interior is clean ! read more
