とんかつ すぎ田

Three of us went to Sugita for dinner on a Sunday night. We booked through Omakase based on the Michelin Guide recommendation. Overall - an outstanding experience exactly as expected, but at a value for money price Pluses: - Tight, focused menu, team and process that is a joy to behold - Delightf...ul food that we all scoffed - not only the centre-piece pork, but the miso soup stood out - Real value for money - only £35 each Negatives: - None we can think of. Making it easier to book all the possible seating and dining options for foreigners would be a helpful next step e sat at the bar. There are two kotatsu tables at the back as well.

I only found this place through the Japan Eatinerary website, a restaurant booking partner of the Michelin guide. We paid for the omakase menu and it was very filling and so delicious. It’s all bar seating so you get a front row seat to the action. We loved seeing the chefs work together. One thin...g I learned about their kitchen hierarchy is you order drinks and other stuff directly from the chef, instead of the one serving you. The tonkatsu itself was very juicy and flavourful and the portions were generous. We definitely didn’t leave hungry. What a great “hidden” gem. I would dine there next time I visit Tokyo for sure.

Pork was very juicy. The chef and staff were all friendly/helpful. It was a bit pricey though given it had a far location in Taito/Asakusa area.

Was looking for a place for my last meal before heading back home, and this place was a short walk from my hotel. Ordered the Tonkatsu, with a side of rice, pickles, and miso soup-delicious! Great service, and they were accommodating to my very limited Japanese.

I had to wait for about 15 minutes for a seat at the counter and when given the menu in Japanese, I took out my Google Translate app to see the English version. Immediately, the owner came over to me and in good English, gave me the English menu (with pictures). I couldn't decide between the pork lo...in or the prawn and, as it might be my first and last visit, I ordered both. She told me that the prawn was very big and costs more, which I accepted. I also ordered the rice set and a beer and sat back to watch the chef prepare the Tonkatsu in front of me. Chef cooked my food and presented it to me with a great smile "Your special plate" he said. And special it was! Pork was cooked perfectly, very juicy and I used the Ponzu sauce as recommended by the chef. The prawn was HUGE and ever so slightly overcooked but in reality prawns of all things need to be safer so I was happy with that. Great food, wonderful atmosphere and I got to see the chef cook right in front of me. Great, quick and efficient service by a team who were in constant communication, some 6 staff for about 16-18 diners. When leaving I congratulated the owner and we exchanged numerous bows and 'thank yous' as I left, very happy indeed. As I had two mains, I paid over 6,000Y but worth every penny and won't need much else for the rest of the day.
