Self-Service Side Dishes at Ikiroll Garosugil

Garosugil Pork Cutlet places can feel expensive sometimes, but I liked that Ikiroll offered unlimited self-service side dishes and soup. Guests could freely take rice, soup, pickled radish, and spicy radish side dishes at the self bar.

The creamy soup and warm broth matched well with the crispy pork cutlet. The refreshing radish side dishes also helped balance the rich cheese cutlet flavors.

Garosugil Pork Cutlet meals at Ikiroll also came with purple rice and fresh cabbage salad on the side. The creamy dressing and crunchy cabbage helped balance the rich cheese cutlet flavors.

I especially liked the purple rice because it made the meal feel more filling and satisfying without being overly greasy.

Tonkatsu House Jamsil is a long-running local restaurant that has been serving classic Korean-style tonkatsu since 1984.
The brick building and bold Korean signage give off a nostalgic vibe, and the spacious interior visible from outside makes it easy to visit with friends or family.

Menu and TV Features at Tonkatsu House Jamsil

Tonkatsu House Jamsil has been featured on popular Korean TV shows such as 2TV 생생정보통, and it is also known as a celebrity-favorite spot.
Big Bang’s Taeyang and Daesung reportedly visited this restaurant, which adds to its long-standing reputation in the Jamsil area.

Although set menus with hamburg steak are available, I ordered the classic pork cutlet instead.
If you are craving traditional Korean-style tonkatsu rather than a mixed platter, this is a solid choice that stays true to the restaurant’s roots.

Classic Cream Soup Before the Meal

Before the main dish arrives, Tonkatsu House Jamsil serves a light and creamy soup that is typical of old-school Korean-style tonkatsu restaurants.
You can add black pepper to taste, and that simple step instantly brings back nostalgic flavors many Koreans grew up with.
It is not fancy, but this warm soup sets the tone for a classic meal and makes the whole experience feel comforting and familiar.

Warm Butter Rolls Served with Tonkatsu

One of the most memorable parts of the meal at Tonkatsu House Jamsil was the butter rolls.
They arrive warm with an impressive glossy finish, and the smell alone makes it hard to wait before taking a bite.
Be careful when eating, as the bread is quite hot inside.

The rolls are served with strawberry jam, but honestly, they are flavorful enough to enjoy on their own. Soft, rich, and slightly sweet, this bread perfectly complements the classic Korean-style tonkatsu experience and feels like a small but thoughtful highlight of the meal.

Thick and Crispy Pork Cutlet at Tonkatsu House Jamsil

The pork cutlet at Tonkatsu House Jamsil is thick, generously sized, and covered in a rich brown sauce that immediately signals classic Korean-style donkatsu.
The outside is crispy while the inside stays tender, making it filling without feeling too heavy.

It is served with shredded cabbage, macaroni salad, pickled radish, and a mild sauce that balances sweetness and savoriness.
This is not a trendy or modern tonkatsu, but a nostalgic plate that feels satisfying and familiar, especially if you enjoy old-school Korean Western-style meals.
