Tonkatsu Aoki Daimon

The out crust is so crispy and melts, pork is very tasty, also the soup is good too, we tried fatty one, very delicious but too much for us, felt sorry we can’t finish , if for next time, will try the pork fillet less fat one.

There is a good reason why people line up in front of this restaurant. You get a lot of food for little money, so go in there whenever you are extremely hungry. The food itself was great. I couldn't finish my portion, so I asked if I could take it home with me. They immediately brought a box to wrap it up. Another very convenient thing: You can order from a vending machine. If your Japanese isn't so strong, you don't need to talk much.

Visited just 11:00am, a group of four people were waiting in the line. But the table inside was all set and the attendance was so smooth. I could learn something from it.

l ordered 上ロース(1500JPY). The food was good as usual!

Visited around 12:30, four people were waiting in the line. They change the order system so I had to buy a ticket at the vending machine.

l ordered 上ロース(1500JPY). Since I showed the ticket before I got seated ,so I could start to eat around 12:45 and left the restaurant at 13:05.

It's a little tiring, but it's worth waiting.

Visited at 11:00, I didn't need to take a line at this time. It's not so busy today because some people were already taking their new year holiday. I ordered ロースカツ定食(ro-su kastu teishoku 1200JPY).

Visited at 13:00, 9 people were waiting and the staff said it'll take about 30 minutes to get seated. So I took a rain check for this time.
BTW they adopted a ticket machine lately.

Visited at 10:55am, and I was second person to take a line. The line has 3 person when it opened at 11:00. I ordered ロースカツ定食(ro-su kastu teishoku 1200JPY).

I love this Tonkatsu with four types of salts. And even the porks in the miso soup were great!

BTW did they change the BGM?? It's local radio station (Tokyo FM) today.

Visited at 10:50am, and I was the first person to take a line. The line has 3 person when it opened at 11:00. I ordered ロースカツ定食(ro-su kastu teishoku 1200JPY).

There was a sign for Mokushoku(eat in silence) I think the sanitation for covid-19 has been stronger than last time which is good for me.

I thought there were 3 kinds of salt but there were 4 at this time. I like it, too.

Visited at 12:50, I could get in without waiting in the line at this time. l ordered 上ロース(1500JPY). It was really good as usual. And I think 12:50-13.00 is not so busy, so it should be a nice timing to visit.

Visited at 11:00am, but it's already 4-5 people were waiting outside. l ordered 上ロース(1500JPY)this time. I realized that the miso soup has some pork meat inside, it was good!
BTW the entrance door was open because of ventilation, I guess. So it was really freezing at the seat near the entrance.

Visited at 11:20am, but it's already full inside so I had to wait for taking a line outside. (In spite of coronavirus, this restaurant is so popular!!)

Ordered ロースカツ定食(ro-su kastu teishoku 1200JPY). You can get it only weekday(Mon-Fri). I love to eat them with three kinds of salt.

Only one thing I don't like here is music is too young?! for me :-)

Second visit. A famous Tonkatsu restaurant in the local. (main shop in Kanata and one in Ginza). l tried 上ロース(1500JPY)this time. If you visit in weekdays, there are more reasonable one. It was one of the best Tonkatsu I've ever had!! Try it with salt(there at three kinds on the counter), not with source. The source is good with cabbage though. Japanese masterd is not bad with the Tonkatsu.

*English, Chinese and Korean menu are available.
*Since the restaurant is very famous, you have to prepare for take a line.
