There are too many reasons to like it. First is this is local people’s visit spot that not too many international visitors here telling the fact of its authenticity. The service is quick & attentive. The fried pork is nice, thick but tender & juicy. The stir fried pork slices with ginger is tasty. T...he sauces fit salad & pork. The miso soup is unlimited & very delicious. Location is good & isn’t that difficult to find. 太多原因我們喜歡這家炸豬排餐廳，客人多是日本人，指出了他的正統性，服務很快速而且態度很好，炸豬排好吃，又厚又嫩又多汁，薑汁炒豬肉片也好吃，米飯和味增湯都好好吃，所有醬汁都很配沙拉和豬排，地點很好，也還蠻好找。

Family with tweens went for an early dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ask for English menu if you require. We tried the regular tonkatsu as well as the loin and chicken. All were excellent to us. Loin a little more tender and costly then the regular one. Refills of rice, soup and fresh vegetabl...es at no extra cost. Females get smaller bowls of rice, guess could be a minimise wastage. Go during off peak else queue extends to the street, restaurant is on second level. Expect to share tables and rub shoulders and elbows.

There's a special place in my heart for tonkatsu, It's been a weekly staple ever since I came to Japan 26 years ago. This restaurant has many of the things I like in a Japanese hole in the wall - rough and ready, no-nonsense service, cramped, busy with normal folk, very reasonable prices and big por...tions. Like most good tonkatsu places, rice, cabbage and soup refills are free (and the soup has nice big chunks of daikon, just like I like it). But the hire-katsu (a leaner cut of pork with the big fat strip trimmed off) was almost hard. I'm a bit suspicious of how it's cooked, as it comes so quickly after ordering. If I'm paying more, I expect more tenderness and juiciness. Tonchinkan, I want to love you, but...

Fairly easy street location to find in Shinjuku with the entrance hidden up a set of stairs - look out for the white sign with the pig logo (photo attached). Once you locate the restaurant you queue for a couple of minutes in the stairwell and they will take your order while you wait. The Tonkatsu i...s delicious, all the servings are huge and include rice, miso soup and salad. Its fantastic value.
