The pork is juicy and tender. Ordered a normal and premium set, both were fantastic. Price is very reasonable and value for money. There is also an english menu available and the wait was not too long.

Awesome tonkatsu in the heart of Ameyoko market. The price is fair but the place is very small, I queued outside for some minutes! You sit directly at the counter and the food is prepared in front of you. Very "local vibe", I was the only foreigner and people kept queueing.

Juicy delicious deep fried crumbed pork cutlets (tonkatsu) at great prices. Table seating upstairs for groups up to 4. Counter seating for singles/couples. Its a tight fit but the food makes it worth it.

Deep fried pork goodness and Friendly staffThe staff speak limited English but were very understanding to pass the menu in different in languages to me. I ordered the (big) tonkatsu set. It came with a big piece of tonkatsu, clam miso soup, pickles, and rice. It was such a fulfilling meal, the tonkatsu was very juicy and tasty. Service was excellent.

Traditional tonkatsu restaurant which is patronised mostly by locals. They have a limited English menu. Come hungry, because their rice portion is huge. You can request for just half portion of rice though. Pork cutlet (the rosu fillet) is very tender and juicy. Their miso soup has lots of mini clams - which added a natural sweetness to the soup. Would definitely recommend.

This restaurant offers jaws dropping pork cutlet also known as Tonkatsu. Be aware that the place is very appreciated by the locals thus you will have to wait in order by sitting on the front chairs for someone to get you in. Best for dinner you can eat for 1000 to 1500 yens its cheap yet amazing. Expect it to be full as soon as its opening but you wont wait for more that 40minutes usualy.

Read some good reviews about this place and my first meal after touch down. Its reasonable as mentioned. Taste pretty good. Had the special pork loin, freshly fried and juicy for 1200 yen. I was there between 1100-1130hr, so there's no queue. Once after 1130hr, the lunch crowd keep coming in. Do take note of timing if you wanna Miss the queue.

Delicious Tonkatsu, it has a nice crunch and is really tender and juicy in the inside. The salad was fresh, soup was nice and the mustard was very spicey becarefull with that. You probally have to wait outside because it's very popular.

Ordered the Large Pork Loin set(970yen). The tonkatsu was fried fresh to order and was probably about 300g. Tender and crispy but not the best I had in Tokyo. There is also miso soup with extra small clams for extra oomph. Rice portion is also larger than the norm. Probably the best quality and quantity to price ratio in Tokyo. Service was also very friendly and attentive.

Very impressed with their approach to efficiency. I got there with my two kids today at 11AM hoping to get in early and avoid taking up valuable seating as I expected to order only two sets to split among the three of us (kids are 4 and 8). But there was a huge line when I got there. So I missed the first wave of seating by 4 people. They took my order while I was in 1 of the 4 seats inside for waiting. They were very polite and had a menu for non-Japanese folks (English, Chinese and Korean it looks like). They gave me the choice of seating afterwards for upstairs (tables) or downstairs with bar. The chefs saw that I had little ones so they separated the mustard and also cut up the pork into smaller than usual pieces. They did not have any issues with my two orders for 3 seats. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. And the line was even longer when we left. Would go again.

This place served great tonkatsu sets at very reasonable prices. Basically two types of tonkatsu and seafood mixed option. Crumb was super crispy and pork was tasty.There's usually a line outside but they have chairs outside to wait. They also take your order beforehand to streamline the service.Price range 1000-1500 for setsEnglish menu

Delicious tonkatsu! Everything is simple and tasty. Little clams in the miso soup, crunch ness of the cabbage, yuzu in the raddish, and the light and flavorful tonkatsu sauce! The price is unbeatable and the service is genuine. There’s another (yet smaller) branch nearby so if the wait is long you can try the others too.

We walked by this place around its opening time, not knowing what it was. Yet there was a huge wait line outside in the cold. All local folks of all ages. We took that as a huge stamp of approval and we were right. The tonkatsu was delicious. Crunchiness, tenderness, sweetness, meatiness, freshness and spices worked together brilliantly.
