The wait can be long, but well worth it. The flavors are just right with melt in your mouth pork Katsu.
Highly recommend the place for a one of its kind experience. Pricing is affordable as well

The pork cutlet was delicious. We went there pretty late (maybe around 8) but there was a long line outside of the restaurant. The pork was juicy and crispiness was amazing. There was no wetness to the fried cutlet and shrimp. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside. The soup that they give you is hearty and very delicious. The only reason I didn't give this restaurant a 5 star is because the smell of the oil was too strong. I would definitely give the food itself 5 stars though.

5-star tonkatsu! Very few options on the menu allow them to serve very quickly.
I’ve been there twice and ordered 上ヒレ(tenderloin) both times because I just couldn’t get enough of it. I think the 上ロース(loin) is very popular among customers because they completely ran out of it in the end but it’s a bit too fat for my liking.
I personally don’t like tonkatsu sauce but here I don’t have to worry about it because the tonkatsu is also served with sesame on the side. For the sesame — grind it and dip your tonkatsu (pre-squeezed with lemon) in it.
You can also choose from three different kinds of miso soup — tonjiru (pork), wakame (seaweed) and shijimi (corbicula clam). Personally I’d recommend shijimi!
I love the petiteness of this tonkatsu restaurant. It’s probably how they maintain the quality.
**Do remember to check their operation days before going**
**Expect to queue up for about 30 mins or more**
