Katsu Shoshin Paju Review: Michelin 1-Star Premium Tonkatsu

[Paju Food] Michelin 1-Star Premium Tonkatsu, Katsu Shoshin Paju Unjeong Station Starfield Village Branch

Hey there, fellow foodies and travelers! It's Bonie, the owner of Bonie's Playground.

Today, my sister and I visited Starfield Village Unjeong to beat the summer heat.

After a fun shopping spree, our stomachs were rumbling, so we headed to Gourmet Street on the 4th floor.

Considering both price and menu, we picked one spot: Katsu Shoshin Paju Unjeong Station Starfield Village Branch!

You'll find it on the 4th floor of Starfield Village, within the Gourmet Street entrance, at 70 Waseoksunhwan-ro 515beon-gil, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do.

Parking is a breeze with 4 hours free at Starfield Village, so no worries there. Just a heads-up, it can get pretty busy on weekends and public holidays!

They're open daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM (open all year round). The kitchen closes at 9:00 PM, so make sure to get your last orders in before then! And if you're craving extra menu items or side dishes, just ask! Haha.

Katsu Shoshin is a brand launched by Chef Jo Young-dong, a Michelin 1-star chef from Est.

A Michelin 1-star! Wow!

Doesn't that already guarantee an amazing meal?

Katsu Shoshin operates seven directly managed branches, primarily in the Seoul metropolitan area, including the main branch in Pangyo Avenue France, Sharosu-gil (near Seoul National University Station), Gangnam (Gangnam N Tower), Seoul Station Grand Central, Paju Unjeong Station Starfield Village, Euljiro 1-ga Station Ferrum Tower, and the recently opened Jonggak Centropolis branch.

Among these, Katsu Shoshin Paju Unjeong Station Starfield Village branch is said to be the largest, spanning approximately 1,800 square feet.

The Katsu Shoshin Paju branch has seating arranged on both sides of the kitchen. We visited late in the day and were guided to a table on the left side.

Ordering at Katsu Shoshin isn't done through a server. Instead, you use the NFC tag or QR code on your table to browse the menu, add items to your cart, and place your order. It's super convenient!

The dishes my sister and I ordered were the Hirekatsu Set (Pork Tenderloin) for ~$12 and the Rosukatsu Set (Pork Loin) for ~$11, totaling ~$23.

Here's a quick, helpful tip about the ingredients' origins:

Hirekatsu/Rosukatsu/Assorted Katsu/Special Rosukatsu Pork - Domestic (Korea)

Rice - Domestic (Korea)

Salted Shrimp Sauce - Chili Powder - Imported

Shoshin Tontoro Udon - Pork - Imported

Look how wonderfully thick each piece of katsu is in the Hirekatsu (tenderloin) Set! I took a big bite, and the meat was incredibly tender. :) I was so glad I ordered it; it was absolutely delicious.

The Rosukatsu (loin) Set came cut into perfect, bite-sized pieces, which was great. Like the tenderloin, the loin meat was incredibly soft, so much so that my eyes widened in surprise at how good it was!

There are several ways to truly savor your katsu here:

First, dip it in premium Maldon salt.

Second, drizzle 2-3 drops of truffle oil over it.

Third, enjoy it with a dab of Korean mustard (yeon-gyeonja).

Fourth, pair it with salted shrimp sauce (saeujeot).

Lastly, choose your preferred sauce from the options provided.

From my experience, the best combination for Hirekatsu is 1-2 drops of truffle oil with a hint of Maldon salt. For Rosukatsu, I found the salted shrimp sauce and Korean mustard to be a fantastic pairing.

Oh, and the salad dressing is so delicious, you absolutely must get an extra plate of salad! It complements the katsu perfectly. I initially wondered why the plate for the mustard was so long, but it all made sense once I saw how it was used.

It's designed for you to easily scoop out salt and salted shrimp sauce.

Katsu Shoshin's miso soup is also special, featuring chunks of meat that make it incredibly flavorful and unique. It's definitely a highlight you'll want to try!

We've explored the premium tonkatsu brand, Katsu Shoshin (かつしょうしん), and its Paju Unjeong Station Starfield Village branch, focusing on their delicious Hirekatsu and Rosukatsu.

This has been a completely self-funded review, based purely on my personal experience of enjoying a fantastic meal.

Wishing you all a day filled with happiness!
