Atlanta Food Review | Kanpeki Tonkatsu - A Letdown? 🍛

Tried the much-hyped Kanpeki Tonkatsu in Johns Creek today! With its high Google ratings and rave reviews online, my expectations were sky-high. However, the reality left me… confused and disappointed. 😅 I ordered their premium tonkatsu with curry sauce, hoping for a crispy, satisfying meal. But the first bite took me by surprise—the pork cutlet was overwhelmingly greasy and fatty. As someone who isn’t a fan of fatty meat, I found it hard to enjoy. The curry sauce helped balance the richness a bit, but even that couldn’t save the experience. For a premium-priced dish, I expected much more: lighter breading, leaner meat, and a cleaner finish. Instead, it felt heavy and left an oily aftertaste. While the restaurant itself had a cozy, authentic vibe and the service was friendly, the food just didn’t live up to the hype—or the price tag. 💸 I’ve had amazing tonkatsu elsewhere (even in Atlanta!), so I know it’s possible to get it right. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, or perhaps it’s just not the style for me. But if you’re sensitive to fatty textures or prefer lighter fried foods, this might not be your spot. Has anyone else tried Kanpeki Tonkatsu? What did you think? Maybe there’s a hidden gem on the menu I missed! 🤔 Still on the hunt for Atlanta’s best tonkatsu—drop your recommendations below! 👇 Kanpeki Tonkatsu Located in Johns Creek, GA #AtlantaEats #AtlantaFood #Tonkatsu #JapaneseFood #FoodReview #JohnsCreekEats #Overrated #FoodieFail #AtlantaFoodie #TryItYourself
