Delicious pork cutlet (katsu). I'd say one of the best. You'll have options on the breed of pork. From Kurobuta (Black Pig) to Chamiton who have green tea as part of their diet. Superb & tasty meat
Get the tonkatsu, pick which cut of pork you want, from fatty to lean. Pro-tip: you can ask them to give you curry even if your item does't come with it
Arrive by 1130 on a weekday, and 11 on a weekend to avoid the crowd. Come for lunch as they might still have their kurobuta loin/fillet available. They’re limited to 5 and 2 sets a day!
I also stop here for lunch for their famous katsupork with rice and cabbage salad. Free refills on those. Last time i tried the croquettes and they were amazing. Must try!! Follow the signs.
Amazing tonkatsu. They explain the different cuts and pork brands well. There’s usually a wait but the line moves quickly. Upstairs is traditional Japanese seating.
A great standard for comparison when it comes to Maisen. Fresh panko and a selection quality pork are what makes this place. Very fluffy yet crispy texture makes up the tonkatsu here. Worth a visit.
Total comfort food. Potato salad and Hakashu highballs in green Hakashu glasses. Oh...and check out the amazing mid century chairs in the main dining room.
The standard tonkatsu is fabulous, but if you want any of their special cuts you need to get in early as they only make a few each day. Don't forget your cabbage refill.
This popular chain’s flagship specializes in tonkatsu—panko-breaded pork cutlet that’s fried golden and drizzled with an addictive sweet-tart sauce. Get the kurobuta (Berkshire pork).
(4/5) Large, upscale restaurant serving up a variety of katsu dishes of varying meats, cuts, and portion sizes, but flavorful, crispy, and tender all the same.
there’s probably gonna be a big line (actually 3 lines: outside, on the stairs, in the main room), but once you try the food you’ll forget about it. kurobutaaa
World-famous for tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), this local favorite—housed in a former pre-World War II bathhouse—is hidden away in a back alley behind a busy Omotesando street.
authentic tonkatsu - not greasy at all! they have counter and table seating. table seats are placed in their main hall which has a high ceiling and a hanging grandfather clock.
Special tonkatsu made from specially curated pork types. Pricey but good experience, although you probably can get similar quality elsewhere for a cheaper price.
I ordered the mixed platter which came with shrimp, potato and pork katsu. It was crispy and not too oily which is good but the taste is nothing special
