Tonkatsu Tonki

4/2/26 - 3 stars Can't remember where I heard about this place and for some reason I had in my mind that this was meant to be one of best tonkatsu in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I was left a little disappointed. Notably, there is no line outside and there are quite a few foreigners. Tonkatsu Flavour: S, 8/10. It's ok, but, not particularly juicy or umami. Texture: A, 7/10. Just alright. Value: B, 6/10. ¥2500 set. Loin and fillet were not noticeably different either. Definitely have had better tonkatsu in Japan and probably even Sydney.

Awesome food with lots of seats available (there's second floor too). Miso soup and cabbage is free flow, te aand ice water are also free flow. 💕 The owner uncle gave me 2 sweets to end of this wonderful dinner 😊

This place has been around for ages serving Katsu - it was my first time and got the pork fillet set (not the biggest fan of too much fat), which comes with rice and pork miso soup (tonjiru). The batter is very different from most commercial tonkatsu, and is crispy. The batter does come off the pork a bit too easily but it’s freshly fried in front of you (if you sit at the counter). The service was great as I put a tad too much mustard on my katsu making me cough (as it went the wrong way), and one of the servers brought me water to help me so I’m very thankful about that. They come to give you extra free lettuce which adds some sweetness to the dish. The only minor point was that my clothes stunk of oil afterwards and I could smell it for ages on me so I would recommend wearing clothes you can wash easily.

Tonki is a classic tonkatsu spot with a unique batter that is different from any other place. The seating is arranged around the open kitchen, so you can watch every step of the cooking process, which is really fun to see. It can get quite busy, so you might have to wait a little before getting a seat. The food is crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The only downside is that the place gets smoky, so your clothes might smell like oil afterward. Probably not the best idea to go somewhere fancy right after, but it is absolutely worth the visit.

Every time I come here I feel so good, so nice ambience, so courteous and caring staff and above all the tonkatsu, tastes like heaven. They are the best in town. Tonki never disappoints you. A very must try in Tokyo.
