Hey there, folks! So, I gotta tell ya, I stumbled upon this little gem of a katsu curry joint in Roppongi, and let me tell ya, it was one heck of a meal! I mean, I've been around the block, seen a few places, but this place? It's got that special somethin'. First off, the katsu, I mean, it's like they took a little piece of heaven and fried it up to perfection. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - just the way I like it. And that curry sauce? Woo-wee! It's got a kick, but it's not gonna knock you out. It's just the right amount of spice to wake up those taste buds. The atmosphere? Well, it's got that cozy, down-to-earth vibe that makes you feel right at home. The staff, too, they're as friendly as can be. They treat you like family, and that's a big plus in my book. So, if you find yourself in Roppongi, don't be a stranger to this place. Trust me, you won't regret it. It's a katsu curry experience that'll leave you smilin' from ear to ear. Go check it out, folks!

This place is located down an alleyway and a bit unassuming one could miss it if one weren't looking carefully. The restaurant is somewhat small, with two private rooms, maybe 5 counter seats, and maybe another 8 tables inside. For the private rooms they ask you to take your shoes off and place them outside. They also ask you not to step on the floor too hard because the building is old? It was a strange request but I tried my best not to destroy the floor. Two people in my party had shoes that were difficult to take off so we opted to sit at the counter seats instead of private rooms as no regular tables were open. We arrived at 3 and were warned that they must close at 3:50. The menu had english on it. We ordered the chicken katsu, pork katsu, and pork/curry katsu. Haven't had too many katsu in my life so I'm not sure what to compare this place to, however their katsu is well executed. The breading is light and crispy, and the meat interior is juicy and tender. The rice was cooked perfectly as well. The only issue was perhaps because they were in such a rush to close, they didnt fry the chicken all the way. If you look at the picture I posted when they first brought dishes out the chicken was a bit pink in the middle. 2 pieces were this way. We brought it to the waitress's attention, she looked at it, and thought for a few moments, then told us that was ok... We sort of looked at each other like... what? Then she came back a minute later to take the dish away. Then brought the dish back to us later a few minutes later. We think they fried it a bit more or replaced the 2 pieces that were pink. We're still not quite sure if anything was done. Only time will tell... I would recommend not coming so close to their closing time.

Imakatsu, tucked away in an alley near Tokyo Midtown, is a katsu paradise that's worth every minute of the wait. My wife and I recently indulged in their delightful offerings, and we're already planning our return trip. From the succulent Sasami Katsuzen to the flavorful Rosu Katsuzen, every bite was a symphony of taste. The Piypiyomenchi Cutlet, a playful twist on Scotch eggs, was a delightful surprise that left us craving more. Stepping into Imakatsu feels like entering a traditional Japanese haven. The wooden interior, with only a few seats, exudes authenticity and charm. Behind the scenes, the chefs work magic with their meticulous attention to detail. Each ingredient is carefully chosen, and the frying process is a masterpiece in itself. Whether you're dining solo, with family, or simply treating yourself, Imakatsu promises an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to explore more of their mouthwatering menu.

This place is actually amazing. I ate their chicken tenders, and it was that, chicken and oh my God, so tender, the texture was between eating a mushroom and tofu, the crisp on the outside coupled with the tenderness of the chicken was absolutely magnificent. I never thought chicken could taste like that. They have bottomless rice and cabbage salad. Their sesame dressing is so good. I couldn't stop myself from asking for another round of salad (what?!). The wait staff were super friendly, my partner and I came in towards the end of their lunch time, but they still accommodated like time wasn't an issue. While we waited to sit, the staff asked us to make our selections then, and by the time we sat down, the food stating coming in, so we didn't wait long. The prices are very reasonable, and I'm surprised they're not charging more. Highly recommend this place.

Super slow service (and restaurant wasn’t even crowded). Tonkatsu set was just OK, I feel like you can definitely find better— what I didn’t like about it was that the fat wasn’t evenly distributed throughout the cut of loin. So you end up getting a couple of complete mouthfuls of fat, which is pretty unpleasant. I also didn’t think the breading/fry was great, and the meat (that wasn’t fat) wasn’t really tender. Not the melt-in-your-mouth experience that one associates with good katsu. I also tried the fried egg wrapped in pork menu item, but it was very underwhelming, wouldn’t recommend it. One more nit: I feel like the cabbage wasn’t well shredded either? It was pretty chunky, instead of finely sliced. Eh. Maybe the chicken is better, but if you’re looking for a good tonkatsu, I’d pass on this place
