Recommendations

"Katsukura’s tonkatsu is famously crisp and juicy, and its tonkatsu sauce and salad dressing, both made to a secret recipe, are renowned for their tastiness. If you are especially hungry, extra servings of rice, soup and cabbage are free."
"Probably one of the best Tori katsu you could ever have in life. Worth trying even a bit expensive comparing with other Tonkatsu restaurants in town. There is a secretive process that goes through making the crispy and crunchy katsu fried with zero cholesterol oil. Even lining up at dinner time, I yet still want to try here."
"The pork was crispy and fluffy on the outside and succulent on the inside. It had a natural sweetness and not the so -called “pork” taste. The tonkatsu sauce accentuated the taste of the pork, giving it a lovely sweet flavor, it was delicious! If you are looking for a good Tonkatsu place with good quality pork in Kyoto, I highly recommend this place."
"My House Special arrived in a wonderfully golden Panko crust, thunderously crunchy and yet light on oil, enclosing a perfectly tender, juicy fillet of pork. Topped with the apple-and-date-infused sauce and the aromatic smell of freshly-ground sesame, it was simply the best Tonkatsu / pork chop / schnitzel I've ever had in any country."
"Katsukura is an expert on Tonkatsu (Breaded pork cutlet) taking pride in serving top quality pork loin and fillet cutlet. Have as much rice, Miso soup and cabbage as you want, because it's all you can eat!"
"Pork tonkatsu is the way to go here. I chose the premium Awabi pork from Tokushima - dark, cottony-textured, and amazingly sweet. The tonkatsu was stupendous - one of the best-ever I’d tasted."
"Menu options: pork loin or pork fillet. The loin is fat and tender, while the pork fillet is tough but healthier. No matter what your choice is, their Tonkatsu is famously crisp and juicy along with Katsukura’s original sauce. If you’re hungry, extra servings of rice, soup, and cabbage are free!"
"While it is nearly impossible, the consistency and quality is good enough even for fussy eaters. My pick, being a prawn fanatic, would be the prawn tempura."
"You can have a hearty meal of Pork Tonkatsu (like a Japanese Schnitzel) plus unlimited refills of cabbage salad, rice and miso soup, so even with an appetite of a teenager or a sumo wrestler, this place is great value."
"Katsukura’s signature style is its ‘DIY tare sauce’ – you can grind your own sesame seeds while waiting for the crispy mains. Try the famous Katsukura’s specialty menus, such as tonkatsu. All the sets come with free refills of miso soup, barley rice and shredded cabbage!"
