A hearty and meaty tonkatsu meal for only 3,000 won await hungry patrons at Cochon Tonkatsu.
Despite its incredibly low price, the quality of the tonkatsu is not sacrificed — they use Korean pork and homemade batter, that results to its thick, tender meat and crispy exterior.
The best part? These pork cutlets are served with rice, miso soup and sesame seed tonkatsu sauce, making it one hell of a terrific meal!
If you have a big appetite, we recommend getting two portions of tonkatsu (double the price) and another order of rice, your tummy will definitely be thankful.
Pro tip: Cochon Tonkatsu gets crowded during meal times, so go there early.

Pomato is a solid place for delectable and affordable meal without emptying your pockets. Most of the items range below 7,000 won, with dishes like bibimpap, Kimbap, ramen, fried rice dishes and many others.
We can’t get enough of their Chicken Mayo (whole chicken katsu, mixed with a bunch of scrambled egg strings in rice topped with seaweed and served with katsu and mayo sauce) and Rabokki Gratin (ramen and Tteokbokki that is oozing with cheese that is perfect for non-spicy lovers)
