Run by a husband-and-wife team, PungNyeon Katsu's menu is simple but focused, built around crisp pork, chicken, and cheese-filled tonkatsu. Each plate comes with a bright, house-made sauce crafted from fresh fruits and vegetables, making the fried cutlets especially memorable. It’s cheap, quality, comfort food with hearty portions and plenty of heart.
