I noticed that i didn't share yet my most often visited restaurant. I will correct that mistake now.
Dongkase or better 돈까스 is the korea version of a cutlet or schnitzel. It came to korea by way of japan where it was called donkatsu. In korea there are two different 돈까스 styles: the korean and japanese style. Korean style is more like a schnitzel. Very flat hammered breaded cutlet with special 돈까스 sauce slightly similar to ketchup or worcestershire sauce. They are cheap and if you are hungry they help you to avoid starvation. but thats basically it.
The japanese style 돈까스 are thicker, have a fluffier crust and, if well made, are fantastic. It is difficult to say wether japanese donkatsu in japan or japanese style 돈까스 in korea a better, but among all 돈까스 restaurants in korea as well as japan Hosuabi, near SNU, is the best.
Here you see a meal for 4500 won. one delicious cutlet, appropriately spiced in fluffy-crunchy crust, one bowl of miso, shredded cabbage with a remoulade like salad sauce. The small drop next to the brown sauce on the right side is wasabi which is mixed into the sauce. The sauce itself is quite special, reminds a bit of ketchup mixed with worcestershire sauce and a slight fruit taste.
Hosuabi is a chain restaurant but unfortunately the quality varies between different places. Interestingly you also can eat vietnamese noodles there. or try a set menu with 돈까스 and vietnamese noodles for 6000 won.
Hosuabi can be found in Nokdu / Goshishon, 10 min from the SNU front gate. See here.
p.s. i said that Hosuabi is the best, this is largely true but a very close competition is a 'chicken katsu bern' in a small restaurant near the front gate of kyoto university.
p.p.s at hosuabi you can get free salad refill.
