  Tonkatsu dinner

  Iberico special set for me. A bit plumper and juicy. The cabbage helped a lot. And with rice, it’s substantially filling. Hits the spot for the tonkatsu crave.
  
  Staff, very attentive, cabbage laden and ready to refill if you need it.

  Feels like Japan again

  Excellent and wonderful food and service. Though the staffs are on the elderly side, they are well verse on the sauce and how to eat the food. They are also quick to refill your drinks (for the 1$ free flow tea) and also the cabbage (free flow) sides.
  
  The meats have the standard that we had back in Japan. Simply amazing.

  Super juicy tender katsu, super satisfying!

  Past this place so many times and glad we finally tried!
  
  I had the ebi and pork loin katsu and my boyfriend had the mizayaki rosu pork katsu set.
  
  All the katsus were so tender and well coated and cooked, no faults at all.
  
  Loves the super tasty sauce and additional of roasted Sesame seeds. Also the mustard on the side and house made tar tar was fantastic.
  
  Loved the rice, absolutely lovely and the pickle, thinly sliced cabbage salad were just right to compliment the fried food.
  
  Only thing which was a bit lacking was the miso soup which came with the set. Some what too diluted.
  
  We ordered a side of soft shell Crab which we felt was a bit too oily but otherwise nice.
  
  Service was great, super friendly and very attentive staff.

  Excellent tonkatsu, average service

  I've been a huge fan of Tonkichi since I was first introduced to the restaurant back in my college days. The pork cutlet is amazingly crispy, and goes so well with the cold cabbage salad and their Japanese curry sauce. Service can be improved - a few times, I was handed utensils/cups that are slightly unclean (think stains).. The service crew, though, was prompt in replacing them for me upon request.

  Doesn’t match amongst the ‘best Tonkastu’ hype

  If you believe the hype this outlet ( set within the famed Takashimaya Dept Store ) should’ve delivered outstanding quality - it simply wasn’t “that good”.
  I chose a filet & loin ‘ Hire&Katsu’ combo that saw me with a mouthful of gristle first bite of ( faint tasting) loin..yuk!
  Fared far better was the more tender & moist, flavorful filet.
  Rice just ‘ok’ & the tonkatsu sauce overly sweet .
  No refills of the accompaniments offered & I was slugged 50 cents fir a glass of tap water! Robbery!
  
  You can do far better. .give it a miss.
