Cochon Tonkatsu 꼬숑돈까스 - 3000 Won Tonkatsu in Sinchon 신촌에 있는 3000원 돈까스집

Sometime around summer last year there was a huge advertisement placed in Sinchon for this incredibly cheap tonkatsu place, but I didn't pay too much attention due to the fact that the price was so low. My reasoning was that something sold at that low of price could not possibly be of any amount of quality, but boy was I mistaken.

Despite the unbelievably low price that Cockon Tonkatsu is able to offer, this is perhaps the most authentic tonkatsu place in the area. The meat is a nice big piece of meat surrounded by the typical breading that you would find in Japan. It is served with rice, soup and some other salad and sides, all of which are great as well. This is a very basic meal and there is not all that much to say about it except that you should try this place yourself and you will be amazed.

The authenticity of this place even extends to the tiny portions that are typical of restaurants in Japan, but this is made up for by the extremely low price. You can get extra rice for 500 won or if you are big eater, you may need to just order two raising the price a bit, but still putting at one of the cheaper options in the area.
