Hapjeong-dong's first-generation tonkatsu specialist, Crazy Katsu, maintains a reputation for high-quality pork cutlets. The space features a warm and refined interior, making it a common choice for dates. Distinct textures between different cuts define the menu. The tenderloin offers an exceptionally soft bite, while the loin is recognized for its superior quality compared to many other shops. Newcomers often select the Crazy Special Course, which includes tenderloin, loin, and a daily special cut to determine their preferred style. The premium loin katsu highlights the specific characteristics of the pork well. Adding a mini curry or katsudon provides additional variety to the meal. Staff provide details on each dish, and the menu offers guidance for the best experience. Meals include a salad with yuzu dressing and a meat-based miso soup, followed by mango sherbet for dessert. Located at 44 Poeun-ro 2na-gil in Mapo-gu, the restaurant frequently has a long waitlist. Visiting after 2 PM on weekdays or arriving ten minutes before the 5 PM dinner opening helps reduce wait times. Seating is relatively compact, resulting in narrow gaps between tables.
