Crispy Tonkatsu Restaurant 📍Sangsang Katsu Located near Konkuk University Station, Sangsang Katsu is a place that reinterprets Japanese-style tonkatsu with a Korean twist. The interior is clean and cozy, making it suitable for solo dining or casual meals with friends. I tried the Hire Katsu and Sangsang Special Katsu! The thick tonkatsu was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor of the meat was rich, and the batter was not greasy, allowing for a clean taste. The tonkatsu sauce had a sweet and sour balance that complemented the savory meat well. The miso soup and rice served alongside were basic but solid, and the accompanying side dishes like salad and kimchi were appropriate. Above all, the quality for the price is excellent, making it an affordable meal option for students and office workers. However, there might be a wait during meal times, so it's best to visit with some time to spare. If you want to experience Japanese-style tonkatsu near Konkuk University, Sangsang Katsu is a satisfying choice. 📖Menu I Tried Hire Katsu Sangsang Special Katsu Mini Curry Address: 1st Floor, 10 Neungdong-ro 13-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul Operating Hours: Mon-Sun: 11:30 AM - 9:00 PM (Break Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM) Last Order: 8:30 PM Address: 1st Floor, 10 Neungdong-ro 13-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul Atmosphere/Facilities: Cozy atmosphere Key Point: Crispy tonkatsu Average Price per Person: 15,000 KRW Rating: 5 stars

The session lasted about an hour, and they explained the answers afterward. If you're looking for a fun experience during your trip to Seoul, you should definitely check it out.
