Ponchiken

"Ponchiken began when a yoshoku-trained chef hung out his shingle to pursue the world of tonkatsu. Two types of pork, with differing umami, are used for the tonkatsu. Fresh breadcrumbs and vegetable oil are used in accordance with the meat’s characteristics to draw out its natural flavour. Diners can use salt and a variety of sauces to adjust the flavour to taste. Beef cutlets and fried horse mackerel are deep-fried in lard to give them body, creating the unique flavours of this shop." - Michelin Inspector

Service is great with English speaker staff I took the beef set meal and it was delicious! It came with rice and miso soup. In the end, a green tea shot was offered As the place is small, it was a little bit noisy but acceptable Worth to give it a try!

We came at 11:30 for lunch, we waited around 30mins to get in. The waiter comes and takes your order before you are seated so when you go inside the food is ready. Amazing food, reasonable prices. We tried the first 2 on the lunch menu both special deluxe, side of sauce and 2 prawns. Everything was sensational.

MAR 2024 Waited in line for a few minutes before opening and was able to get the first round of seating. Ordered the special loin tonkatsu set and it was delicious; panko was crispy and coated well, and the pork was very tender with a rich depth of flavor. The lunch menu has limited options so recommend coming for dinner if you want more choices including add-ons and ala carte. Service was good and fast pace.

So delicious! I got the beef katsu and my friend got the traditional pork katsu. I liked the beef one better but the pork was great too! For the pork ones they have two grades. The basic (上) and the special (特). There was a short line outside but it moves kinda fast.

Some of the best tonkatsu on the planet. Truly an amazing meal from start to finish. We did end up waiting 2 hours in line, even though we showed up at the exact time the place opened. If I had to do it over, I'm not sure I would have stuck it out with the wait, but wildly good food overall.

Solid 8.5 out of 10. It’s delicious, fried to perfection. It’s the second best katsu I have had so far in Japan. Being able to have your katsu with various sauces and salt is pretty cool. Being able to order fried seafood ala cart is also a cool bonus. This restaurant is listed on the MICHELIN guide’s bib gourmand. Wouldn’t expect any less.

Phenomenal Tonkatsu, recognized as such by Michelin as well. The service was fast, price low, and food delicious.
