Lasung House 라성왕돈까스 — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Another Donkatsu restaurant but with a bit of twist in that they serve the traditional noodles dishes and also serve the more modern fusion dishes such as Spaghetti Bolognese and Cream Pasta with seafood. I stuck to the traditional dishes and they did not disappoint. The Pork Cutlet was huge and everything was fried perfectly. Crispy and juicy inside. Personally, I always ask for the sauce on the side. I am a little picky about Donkatsu sauces (HATE the ones that has cinnamon in it) and some restaurants drench the Donkatsu in the sauce. The Cold Buckwheat Noodles were ice cold and yes it is served with ice floating in it as it should. The noodles in the both the cold noodle dishes were nice and chewy. The prices were a bit high but I guess reasonable nowadays with all the the price hikes. They have a small parking lot but street parking is available as well. They also have a fridge where they sell prepared battered cutlets where you can buy and fry at home yourself. It's kind of funny if you see it because the cutlets are sizes of half sheet pans. Overall, I recommend this place and would...

This restaurant is located near my home, so I’ve been visiting regularly since it opened. Wangdonkatsu is their signature dish. I think I’ve been here about five or six times within a year of its opening. The first two or three times were great, but my experiences in the last 3-4 visits haven’t been satisfying. First, the overall taste of the menu items has become noticeably sweeter. Especially the cold soba, which had an overpowering sweetness rather than the flavor of the dipping sauce, making it almost unpleasant to eat. Also, at a tonkatsu restaurant, the pork cutlet may be crispy on the outside, but the inside was uncomfortably soggy and oily, leaving a heavy aftertaste that was unpleasant. In cases like this, the oil temperature during frying might be too high, causing only the exterior to fry, while the oil and moisture inside get trapped and, when served to the customer, the sogginess worsens as it cools down. The flavor of the crispy batter and the mild taste of the pork loin should blend well, but the dish was far from harmonious. It would be great if the owner paid more attention to...

If you’re craving the perfect bite of crispy, golden pork cutlet, look no further than Lasung House. This cozy little spot delivers everything you’d want from a great tonkatsu experience tender meat, a shatteringly crisp coating, and all the classic accompaniments.

The pork loin katsu was a standout juicy and flavorful, with a breadcrumb crust that stayed crispy from first bite to last. Their homemade tonkatsu sauce had just the right balance of tangy and sweet, and the finely shredded cabbage (served with a refreshing dressing) provided a nice contrast to the richness of the dish.

Service was warm and efficient, and the set meal came with mac salad , cabbage salad, porridge, side dishes and rice all well-executed. The portions are generous, so come hungry.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of tonkatsu or trying it for the first time, Lasung House hits the mark. It’s comfort food done right, with...
