1. A Secret Gem in Dohwa-dong
Seung Donkatsu(승 돈까스) in Dohwa-dong is like a hidden treasure. I have complex feelings about this place; I want to keep it a secret for myself, yet I also want to brag about its excellent taste to everyone. Located in the basement of Samchang Plaza at 63-8 Mapo-daero, it is a place that leaves a lasting impression. Although the current operating hours are from 10:00 to 15:00, I remember frequently visiting this place even after work in the past.
2. Perfection in a Single Menu: Garlic-Scented Donkatsu
The most remarkable thing about this restaurant is its dedication to a single menu: Donkatsu(돈까스). There is no need to struggle with choosing what to eat, allowing you to focus entirely on the quality of the meal. The Donkatsu(돈까스) here features a captivating garlic aroma that sets it apart from other places. For a more enhanced flavor, you can mix mustard with the sauce according to your preference. While the Kimchi was slightly disappointing, the unique scent and quality of the meat make every visit worthwhile.
