"I don't care how reputable Maisen and Tonki are...after tasting Katsukura, this gets my vote for best tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) and well, breaded fried anything in Japan!"

Jay Friedman

"The pork comes quickly, perfectly fried and placed on a rack, though there's no visible grease. It's so juicy that I sometimes eat it without the sauce."

"The tenderloin was crispy on the outside and yet the meat inside was juicy, tender, and flavourful. Absolutely delicious!"

Mika Takeuchi
