Tonkatsu Tonta — Restaurant in Tokyo

5-star tonkatsu! Very few options on the menu allow them to serve very quickly.

I’ve been there twice and ordered 上ヒレ(tenderloin) both times because I just couldn’t get enough of it. I think the 上ロース(loin) is very popular among customers because they completely ran out of it in the end but it’s a bit too fat for my liking.

Arrived half an hour before opening and was able to get the first seating. It is a tonkatsu restaurant which is opened for dinner a few days a week run by several elderly seniors. Ordered the top loin which consist of lean white meat with a darker meat section on top between two layers of fat. It was a quality cut of meat; very tender and flavorsome especially the top section, and the panko coating was cooked well without falling off. Also had a small piece of fillet cutlet which was cooked medium with a pink center to maintain the juiciness; it was so soft and succulent. The tonjiru which came with the meal was also tasty and hearty, overall a delicious and...
