Tonkatsu was one menu item I wanted to try in Japan. We happen to be in the area and I asked Google a spot for this and it brought us here. I knew it was good when I saw 3 locals lined up waiting and also a local behind us that brought his guest visiting Tokyo. He told us it would be worth it. He was right! So tender, tasty and not dry. The shredded cabbage with the dressing was hit the spot as well as the white rice was spot on with how rice should be, sticky but not over cooked. It all was perfect.

This was a truly heavenly dining experience. Was lucky we came at a time without a line, ordered the Top Lion, Thick Cut and Original Ponchi. Flawless.

The batter for the katsu here was perfection - crispy and light, which provides a wonderful texture. Gyukatsu is not bad, but I would highly recommend going for tonkatsu and adding on menchi katsu!

One of the most beautiful bars i’ve been in my 3 days in Japan, all wood, soft jazz, quite vibes, and best food ever. The beef tonkatsu incredibly tender, curry was Excelent, the pork super tasty and crunchy, 10 times better than snitchzel, Argentinean milanesa and all things like this that i have in my life, congrats.

Discovered this little spot during a month long stay in Tokyo and returned several times. The pork cutlet was cooked to perfection! Juicy and tender. The staff were warm and welcoming and the restaurant was charming, Cozy and relaxing. Learned about it via a Tokyo Weekender article. Depending on time there is a line sometimes but definitely worth the wait. Highly recommend.
