Tonkatsu Jin — Restaurant in Tokyo

After spending 18 hours flying across the world, 2 hours going through customs and immigration I was STARVING. After consulting all the nearby restaurants on google maps, I found this delightful gem. As some reviews have noted, the owners speak enough English to seat you and take your order. I chose the pork cutlet curry rice set, and oh my lawd was it amazing. The dressing they gave me for the salad was a unique, but also delicious new taste for me to experience. The miso soup was full of flavor and warmed me deep into my soul. Then there was the pork cutlet and curry rice. The cutlet exhibited a tenderness that i wish my parents would have shown me, there is zero chance of you not receiving enough curry sauce or rice.

But don't worry, you are not likely to empty out your wallet, as the pork cutlet curry set is only ¥1,500, a little under $10USD using the present currency conversion rate at time of writing.

The pork cutlet was something beyond this world. I had never had a cutlet that was so perfectly cooked, and so juicy and tender to the point it basically just melts in your mouth.

I was genuinely shocked when I took the first bite. It's the type of pork you would expect in a Michelin style restaurant. It actually blew me away.

Price? You're paying a bit under 2000 yen, which is actually reasonable and on the cheaper side.

I would definitely come...

Was wandering near the hotel after a nearly 14 hour flight & found this memorable spot. Upon entering you're warmly greeted by the elderly couple (believe they're a couple, apologies if you're not 😅). I'm sad I didn't take any photos but after a long flight I was starving & once the tonkatsu set I ordered made it to the table, I couldn't stop eating as it just hit the spot! It was definitely what I needed.

I left with a full belly, highly satisfied with the attention provided despite the language barrier, & a bit sad as I didn't know when I would be...
