This Bom Retiro gem (near Korea Town) serves up all things fried pork—from curry tonkatsu rice to tonkatsu ramen—and delivers on portion sizes big time. Here’s what went down during our late-night pig-out: 🌟 The Tonkatsu Feast: Quantity Over Quality (But Still Tasty) Tonkatsu Ramen: A mountain of noodles (2–3 packs worth!) in rich broth, topped with a massive fried pork cutlet. 🍜 Shockingly good ramen texture—chewy and perfectly cooked. The pork? Crispy outside, tender inside, and plentiful. Mozzarella-Stuffed Tonkatsu: The viral cheese-pull star—melty mozzarella oozes from crispy breading. 🧀 Not mind-blowing, but satisfying for cheese lovers. Served with pickles or salad (go for the salad—it’s fresh). Curry Tonkatsu Rice: Standard Japanese curry with a thick pork cutlet—comfort food at its finest. 🍛 Portions are so huge, leftovers are guaranteed. 💡 The Surprise Hit: Lemon Soda That Actually Works A bright blue concoction that looks sketchy but delivers tangy refreshment. 🍋 Cuts through the fried food grease—order it if you like sour drinks. 📝 Pros & Cons You Need to Know ✅ Pro: Portions are insanely large (1 meal = 2 people, easily) Prices are reasonable (R$70–100/person) Open late—perfect for post-Korea Town cravings ❌ Con: Flavors are solid but not gourmet—don’t expect wow-factor seasoning 🌟 Final Verdict: Go When You’re Ravenously Hungry Visit if: You’re on a mission to eat the biggest tonkatsu ramen ever You love cheese-stuffed anything You need a filling meal that won’t break the bank Kitchen Alice won’t redefine tonkatsu, but it delivers hearty, affordable fried goodness when you need it most.
