TON TON Katsuya

This place is very small, please be prepared to sit close to others. The food here is divine, it is not over hyped in the reviews. Also the staff were all lovely and personable and quick! If you're in town for the strip maybe pop over here for a quick lunch or dinner. There is a CVS right next door so you can combine the trip and pick up alcohol, mixers, and water jugs as well. Also we saw they opened at 11 and arrived at noon on a Friday and were able to be sat within 5 min. If you are coming for dinner keep in mind there will be a wait.

Everything we ate here was delicious! They give you the sesame seeds to grind while you wait for your entree and you add the house made tonkatsu sauce to taste. I got the pork tenderloin and my companion got the chicken. We think the pork was a touch more flavorful than the chicken but both were great. This is katsu the way katsu is supposed to be - crispy and impossibly light for a fried food. The sesame dressing was delightful on the cabbage. I also got the creamy milk tea (hot) and it was coconutty and delicious too! Despite the fact that the place was packed the server greeted us in an easygoing and cheerful manner. We were seated right away and brought glasses of water and she was patient when I needed a little more time to finishing looking over the menu (my first time here). She was efficient and cheerful and patient even though she was so busy. The place is quite cozy. We could barely fit all the things for our meals on the little table they seated the two of us at. And I know way more about the breakup the loudish-talking guy at the table next to us was going through than I ever wanted to know about a stranger’s personal life.

Fantastic as always. Fyi, I've had the regular pork and the black & frankly, I can't tell the difference so save the money in my opinion. Better yet, use it to order the toasted green tea... so good.

Can't rave enough about this place. Best Chicken Katsu you can find and one of the most authentic Japanese restaurant experiences I have had outside of Japan. Great service, atmosphere, cuisine, and also at a reasonable price.

Authentic Japanese cuisine, my family and I went Sunday for dinner. We ordered for appetizers Yuzu Miso Toro Salmon and Jumbo Scallop Katsu. For entrees we ordered 100 Black Line Pork Katsu Set, Jumbo Shrimp Katsu, and the Organic Chicken Katsu. All entrees come with a cup of rice, pickled cucumbers, miso soup, and cabbage salad (just cabbage but put the dressing on it and try it. The dressing makes it taste good). The chicken entrée comes with an egg salad to dip the shrimp in, and that was different but still very good. My family shared everything, and it was so amazing. Very small and compacted in this restaurant felt like you're in Japan.

I have been to quite some pork katsu restaurants in the states from LA to Bay Area and Seattle, and this is definitely the best one. Fried oyster was fresh, and the homemade tartar sauce was amazing. Pork loin katsu was tender in the middle and oily on the edge. The wait could be a bit long, but it was totally worthy of it!

Really delicious katsu, would definitely recommend! Reminds me of katsu I had in Japan. Came on a Friday night and lined up outside at 4:45pm for their 5pm opening. Would highly suggest coming before they open as there was already a long line by 4:55pm. We were the second in line when we came at 4:45. For appetizers, we ordered the yuzu salmon, scallop katsu, and oyster katsu. For mains, we got the regular thickness pork katsu. Every dish was very good. The scallop and oyster katsu were crispy and perfectly fried, and the seafood tasted sweet and fresh. The salmon app with roe was bursting with yuzu flavor. You also get to grind your own sesame for the sesame dressing which releases a really nice roasted and nutty sesame fragrance. Expect the service to be fast! There were moments I felt rushed to order and eat. However, the food was so good, I would still come back for it. Would probably not go here for a date night/dinner to catch up with friends though due to the fast-paced experience.

A quintessential Japanese katsu spot. The food is top quality but if you aren't in line before they open, be prepared to wait. It gets busy. This place literally feels like it was lifted straight from Japan. Everything from the food to the small dining area feels very authentic and traditional. The seating area has been adjusted to accommodate Americans' more.....robust sizing. If they stuck true to Japan standards, they would probably be able to fit another 20 people in the restaurant. But the occupancy is capped at 40, which means if you weren't one of the first in the door by the time they open, be prepared for an hour wait. The menu is petite, which means they can concentrate on making what they do offer as good as possible. Typical in authentic Japanese cuisine, TON TON uses high quality minimalist ingredients and expert technique that results in a product that is akin to good katsu found in Japan itself. We ordered the salmon, scallops, mussels, and the chicken katsu. There really isn't much to say in terms of katsu. If you had good katsu, this is no different. It's light and crispy, not oily, and tender moist/juicy inside. I don't think you can go wrong ordering anything on the menu. There's pork, shrimp, and vegetarian options as well. Also typical of good Japanese cuisine is they don't really do much to set themselves apart. Basically, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" sort of deal. The experience at TON TON is holistically an authentic Japanese one. From the long wait/queue, the tiny interior dinning area, and masterfully crafted food, you would think you were transported to Japan for a meal. My only gripe is the price of food is at a premium. While not exactly affordable, the prices are reasonable. Normally it would cost around half this much to eat this type of food in Japan, but considering this place is in the middle of the desert, they get a pass.

My bf & I LOVE Ton Ton!! This place has limited hours every day so there's usually a line to get in. We showed up at 4:50 pm on a Sunday and there were already 3 groups ahead of us. We were seated right away but just know that the wait can be long! I always order the jumbo shrimp katsu set & my bf gets the pork loin katsu touban-ni set (though he didn't order it that particular day when I took the pics). I'm usually not a fan of fried foods but the panko breading on the katsu is so light & wonderfully crispy. I also love how each set comes with extra things to munch on. Mine came with cabbage(?) salad, pickled veggie, egg salad-type dish, & miso soup. The dressing for the cabbage salad is also to die for!!! (Pictured in the tin bucket). We also always order the jumbo scallop katsu. I don't have enough words to describe how delicious it is. Again, perfectly crispy panko with a soft, tender scallop underneath *chef's kiss* We will always come back to this place when the craving hits!! You just can't beat authentic Japanese katsu.

Went here at 5pm and waited 1 hour to be seated. We anticipated a wait because of how popular this restaurant was. I think it would be more convenient if they had a yelp waitlist, or a system where you could leave your number so you could come back. They gave a buzzer and told us to wait in the car. Once we were seated, we were greeted by the whole staff and was given a giant menu. There were so many options here, from appetizers to entrees to drinks. My family and I are official katsu connoisseurs because of how many katsu restaurants we've been to from Vegas, California, Hawaii, to Japan-- so we're pretty picky when it comes to katsu LOL. We ordered the regular pork katsu, Kurobuta Pork and the Pork Loin Katsu Touban-ni. Everything was so flavorful! I was a little hesitant because of how there was a pink color to my cuts, but I still ate it LOL. It wasn't too fatty and it was a little tough. The Touban-no was slightly salty, but could be balanced out with rice. I always love the side cabbage, and their dressing here was delicious! Altogether, it was a decent and very authentic Katsu restaurant! I don't think the hour wait was worth it because there are similar tasting restaurants nearby. But I would definitely eat here again!

The homie and I hopped over to Katsu Ya Ton Ton when we were in Vegas last month. We loved everyyyyyything we had. It was all so good with some things being solid hits out of the park. Do not skip the Japanese SweetPumpkin ($5), perfectly battered, warm and tasty inside. Scallops ($16) were surely jumbo as advertised and solid. Our Kurobuta Black Line Pork Katsu Set ($32) was pretty rare and I had a hard time eating it. I was kinda sad because everyone raves about this. It was so chewy, we ended up not finishing it. The chicken katsu ($20) was lovely though, completely enjoyed the flavor of the panko batter and the juicy chicken. If only that pork could have hit for us, I'm sure Katsu Ya Ton Ton could have got that last star. I'm sure we'll be back so...cheers to next time!

A tiny Japanese spot known for phenomenal (and unique) katsu! There's no way I'm skipping the scallop katsu and those were still probably the best katsu I've ever had, although I suppose it's a little hard to compare pork to scallops. They also have salmon, thick tonkatsu, and chicken. You make your own katsu dip by grinding sesame seeds and adding katsu sauce. Portion sizes are good and very filling. If you aren't there by the time they open, expect to wait 1-1.5 hours for another party to finish eating since there's only maybe 7 or 8 tables inside. Definitely recommend this place, I think it's totally worth the wait especially if you're a big katsu fan.

Enjoy good tomato when I can find it but sadly most places I try in the US fall far from what you get in Japan. This place however really delivers and it is up there with the best I have had in the USA with the best probably still being in Hawaii. The batter is light fluffy and crispy which is what you get in Japan and the meat is tender and tastes great. The cabbage on the side is surprisingly good as well. Highly recommend if you are looking for good katsu.

Came right when they opened for dinner and had no wait. Their menu is a large unruly swinging wooden sign like a store display. Unique and memorable for sure. Food can quickly once we ordered and was out of this world. Rivaled the katsu spot in Hawaii at half the price! The servers were very attentive. Tables are close together but not so much you hear others' conversations. It's amazing what they accomplish with such a small kitchen. Bravo to the chefs.

Upon first look of the outside when we arrived, it looked very familiar to me like I've already eaten here, but once I entered, I realize that this is a new restaurant but the same location. This place is very Japanese. From their plastic food displays, the decor of the restaurant and the two ladies helping us. I wanted to practice my very limited Japanese so I asked the lady if she spoke Japanese and she was excited to hear me speaking their language. I tried my best to order in Japanese. Everything we ordered was delicious. The quality of the seafood and the pork and chicken were of the best. The great finish to this meal was the dessert. She asked if we wanted ice cream, we asked what flavors they have and it was music to our ears when she said Black Sesame. So we had our ice cream and ended our wonderful lunch at Katsu Ya Ton Ton.

Delicious! From the moment you step in, everything feels very authentic Japanese. I love their thoughtfulness and decor. Lots of wood and warm tones all around the restaurant. I got the thick cut pork loin combo. It comes with a bowl of sesame that you can grind and make your own sesame dipping sauce. So delicious and fragrant! The katsu was juicy and flavorful. The combo also comes with miso soup and a mountain of cabbage salad. I also got the Hokkaido milk tea, which had a sweet and herbal flavor. The service was fantastic and they were super patient with refilling my husband's many diet cokes. We came on a weekday for lunch 10 minutes before their last seating (2:15pm last seating), but they didn't make us feel rushed as all. Such a lovely find!

Still the best Katsu place in Vegas!!! Pork Loin Katsu Touban-ni Teisyoku is so authentic- definitely a Japanese comfort food!!! Any of their Katsu are delicious with accompanying cabbage salad with the house made dressing. Make room for dessert -warabi mochi on black sesame ice cream with brown sugar syrup is totally amazing. They asahi beer and Okinawa/hokkaido milk tea. Great service as always. Be aware they do get busy and have a long wait during peak hours. All the reviews are real- no fake reviews like the new restaurant in Spring Mountain!!!

The BEST katsu!! The food quality is always consistent. Love the flavors, the breading on the chicken katsu is light and crispy, and the pork katsu is never tough or dry. We've been here a few times and we will always come back.

This katsu restaurant was the best katsu I have had in Las Vegas! This Japanese katsu restaurant delivers an impeccable dining experience from start to finish, showcasing excellence in both flavor and presentation. It does get fairly crowded so make sure to arrive early if you prefer not to wait long as it is a small place. The yuzu miso toro salmon stands out as a highlight, boasting freshness and robust flavor. Accompanied by ikura and shiso, each bite is a delightful explosion of taste. There is already yuzu miso dressing mixed into the dish but they also provide extra dressing to allow you to customize to your liking. The katsu is a true masterpiece, perfectly fried to a golden crisp while retaining its juicy tenderness inside. Accompanied by freshly ground sesame seeds and a side of cabbage, every element is carefully considered for maximum enjoyment. The attention to detail extends to the sides as well, with the miso soup and fresh pickled cucumbers adding layers of complementary flavors to the meal. To top it off, the dessert featuring warabi mochi is a delightful finale. With its soft texture and dusting of kinako powder, paired with green tea ice cream and a generous drizzle of brown sugar syrup, it's a sweet ending that leaves a lasting impression. Will definitely be back!

I came back and it was better then I remembered! I love that I am able to crush my sesame seeds before my meal, it's interactive and delicious. My daughter still loves the variety in her kids meal and I still rave about the chicken katsu. We (my family) have come to an agreement to make this a bi-weekly dinner outing. Everyone here is so great at making sure the tables are taken care of and even though it's not the biggest restaurant, it doesn't feel like we were crammed. 10/10 will be back again!

A small and cozy restaurant that lives up to its hype! I came about 30mins after they opened and there was thankfully no wait. The servers are so nice here and wow- the food here blows me away. I ordered the hokkaido milk tea which was strong and nutty, and the yuzu salmon was a good appetizer as well (although their ikura was way too fishy for me) i really liked the dipping sauce. Of course, the highlight of this restaurant is the katsu- and its crunchy on the outside and so tender. Their miso soup pairs excellent as well and i'd definitely come back here to try other things!

One of our friends really wanted to try out this spot, hearing it was one of the best Katsu restaurants in the city. We needed a lunch spot so we decided to finally give Katsu Ya Ton Ton a shot. - PARKING - Shares a parking lot with other businesses, the spaces themselves were a bit compact, but we were able to find a spot. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - It was packed when we first arrived, and so we were given a buzzer and were told it would be around a 40 minute wait. We were hungry but decided to wait around the area since we needed some groceries anyways. At almost exactly 40 minutes, we received a call asking if we were still in the area, and so we headed back. The restaurant itself isn't very big, which is probably why there's always a line outside. The booths themselves are quite small, only fitting 4 people at most comfortably. Service is very quick, getting orders out from the kitchen left and right. One thing that stood out to me was when I asked for a to-go box for my leftovers, they gave me a fully packed meal with fresh rice, all rubber banded up and tied to go! So nice of them! - FOOD - Chicken Katsu: The chicken was super moist and juicy on the inside, not dry at all! The breading here is light and crispy, and not oily either. The fresh grounded sesame seeds you do on your own really elevates the dipping sauce experience as well. I also got to try a piece of the Pork Katsu, but preferred the Chicken! - OVERALL - I would definitely come back during my Vegas visits - maybe next time I'll try the special Pork Katsu!

All I say is this is the best Katsu you'll get outside of the original, which I can only imagine (Japan) Small but if you time it right, service is always attentive and on spot with an owner operated restaurant. Sometimes you'll get a visit from the main chef himself. Always crave and always enjoy the best of the best here.

I'd give Ton Ton 6-stars, but 5 is the highest. If you want to taste freshness and deliciousness, this is definitely the place to go. Chicken organic katsu and scallops are the bomb. Their service is top notch and the servers are super friendly. Place is super clean and upon entering the restaurant, you're tele-transported to Japan. Nice music to listen to. A return to Ton Ton is in the very near future.

Didn't love it like all of you, maybe we missed something? Black Line Pork Katsu was kinda tough, not tender nor juicy, dry with sinew. Shrimp Tempura - shrimp was ok but the breading was so thick. Kabocha Tempura - might need to cook longer it was a bit tough. Mushroom Tempura - breading was so thick, completely kill the mushroom texture. The best thing was the shredded cabbage.

Honestly the best Katsu I've had in Las Vegas! Down to the attentiveness of the servers, variety in the menu, and the overall Japanese feel... probably one of my favorite restaurants I've had the chance to dine in. The food they offer here is where they shine. Their katsu had a delightful crunch to it alongside their katsu sauce. I also enjoyed the dressing they had for the cabbage. Very light and refreshing! The layout of the restaurant reminded me so much of Japan. Although wait times can get lengthy, it's just one of those things that deserve the wait. You'll be happily rewarded with one of the best meals you've encountered in the Las Vegas area. Looking forward to my next visit! :))

Wow! Hands down to this Japanese katsu place!!! I recommended this place to my family and we all enjoyed it so much! It's located southwest of Las Vegas but it was worth the drive. We got there before 5 (they open for dinner at 5pm) and luckily we were the third party waiting; there was a long line behind us. The place was small but cozy. The servers spoke in Japanese and English. They had some cute decor inside and they even decorated the restroom. (I'm not kidding) We ordered the Kurobuta Pork Loin Katsu set /heritage black line ($32), it was limited quantity with 15 sets only. We also ordered the Atsugiri set (thick cut pork loin katsu set) $21, Jidori katsu (organic chicken katsu set) $19, and Okosama plate (kids katsu plate $14). They first told us grind the sesame into the powder and then add the katsu sauce into it. It was fun. Lol The kurobuta pork loin quality was amazing and it was a bit fatty. The thick cut pork loin quality was also delicious! They were so crispy, tender and juicy. Everything was so perfect--even the salad, miso soup and rice! My younger daughter loved her vanilla ice-cream dessert so much! Highly recommended for everyone to try the katsu here! The best katsu that we've ever had!!! 5 out of 5 stars for sure! We will be back!

After seeing Mikey Chen come here, I had to come!! 100% Black Line Pork Katsu Set The SUPERIOR katsu. It was juicy, but in my opinion, just get the thick cut or regular katsu. It's not worth the price difference. Thick Cut Pork Loin Katsu Set It's not as juicy as the black line, but I would rather save $10 or so and get other dishes. Pork Loin Katsu Touban-ni Set BEST thing! I preferred this over the katsu. Since it was cooked in sauce and egg, it made the katsu so tender and flavorful. Yuzu Miso Toro Salmon MUST GET. I don't love yuzu but this knocked my tastebuds out of the water. So delicious!! Pumpkin katsu The pumpkin was dry after it was deep-fried. Would skip this app. Jumbo Scallop One of the most tender scallops I've ever eaten. Truly cooked to perfection. I'd come back when I'm in Vegas! Very very good katsu!

This is one of the best katsu places in Vegas. The food is incredibly authentic, prepared by skilled Japanese cooks. We'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. The service exemplifies excellent Japanese hospitality, top-notch!

Katsu Ya Ton Ton was a place we tried at the recommendation of our close friend. It's located in Durango, off-strip, next to a gas station. Be forewarned, unless you show up before the opening time, be prepared to wait for at least an hour, as the restaurant does not take reservations, only operating by a wait list system. Once inside, there's limited seating, but it doesn't feel too cramped. We started off with the traditional sesame seed mortar and pestle. The scallop katsu was pretty good. However, the black pork tonkatsu was the star of the show, it was T H I C C and flavorful, with quite the juicy interior, with just enough fatty content. The tea was okay. We also ordered some sandos to go as well, and did enjoy them hours after we left Vegas as well. Overall, would try again, minus the wait.

We're late to dining Katsu Ya Ton Ton, but I'm glad we finally did. The Jidori Katsu Teishoku, which is the organic chicken katsu meal set, was stellar. "Teishoku" means 'set meal' or 'meal set' in Japanese and is the classic set up for your protein served with rice, miso soup, salad, pickles, and lots of finely shredded cabbage. This place is reminiscent of one of our favorite places, Tonkatsu Kiyoshi, which is no longer in business (sad!). Service was spot-on and there is a nice Japanese ambiance to the restaurant. I can recommend the sweet pumpkin katsu appetizer as a nice start; watch out, because it comes piping hot out of the kitchen. We will be back.

Katsu Ya Ton Ton was a recommendation from a friend initially. Then I started seeing YouTube content creators visit this restaurant too. I've been to a lot of tonkatsu restaurants in Los Angeles and in Japan but I've got to say that the tonkatsu we had here in Vegas of all places, is the best I've had outside of Japan. Everything was great, including the salad dressing. This is not indicated anywhere that I could tell, but the thinly sliced cabbage salad has unlimited refills. We decided to come 15mins before their opening and found that we were right to do so as five parties had already started waiting in line by the time we got there. This place filled up quickly. Before we received our food we heard the wait was already an hour. Although, the seating was over all good, the place is not very big, so expect a to be a little cramped depending on where you are seated. Definitely try this restaurant out and definitely get here earlier than the opening time unless you don't mind waiting.

I never give 5 stars! This is an exceptional gem. I've been eating katsu since I was a kid back in the 80s. And I've never come across a restaurant that even comes close to Katsu Ya Ton Ton. I don't know where to begin! Although it was cold day, walking into this place transported me to an old warm and cozy environment. The space is intimate and inviting with dark wood and a lively group of patrons. I heard the Japanese language being voiced from various parts of the space. The servers, cooks, and visitors. You see a sign that explains how the many ways to eat the quality Katsu dishes. Order three different kinds of salt. Or maybe it's a side order of Ton Ton Curry Sauce? There's the original Katsu sauce and mustard as well. You can purchase their miso salad dressing and/or tonkatsu sauce. We started with a Hokkaido Milk Tea and Yuzu Soda...very refreshing:) They serve wine, beer, sake, and more! I loved the Signature Yuzu Miso Salmon with Ikura. Then came the Jumbo Shrimp Katsu and Tara/Cod Katsu...yum. Our final appetizer was the Kuro Buta Menchi-Katsu. We then shared the Pork Loin Katsu Set which came with salad and miso soup...hit the spot! There was a chef/owner that greeted customers and the servers were friendly, energetic, and hard at work...so tip them well if you can. I can't wait for my next visit (U2 at the Sphere). I hope to experience the Jumbo Scallops Katsu with beer or sake. I forgot to mention one more thing... the best bathroom ever! See my pics:)

Be ready for a line when you come here. After saying that, if you're looking for tonkatsu this place will scratch that itch quite well. I personally don't think it's a must go spot in Vegas, but I'd still be happy to come back if people wanted to (if there's not a line)

I am almost ashamed that I have not reviewed this place sooner, because Ton Ton Katsuya is definitely on my Top 5 Restaurants in Vegas. This is due to the high quality and love in their food. The food makes my eyes light up every time I take my first bite. Every single item I've tried on their menu has been delightful. All the milk teas, the curry sauce, seafood options.. I would get each one again and again if I could. My go-to is the chicken toubani, with the katsu sitting in a delicious broth with eggs. Grind your own sesame seeds and mix it in the katsu sauce. Each item that is brought out in the spread is great too, including the cabbage with the delicious ginger sauce that I can't stop eating, hearty miso soup, and pickles. The curry sauce is flavor packed, as if you needed more flavor. I can't rave enough about the quality of this place. For the price, it is a great deal. I try to come right before opening at 5. If you miss the first wave, the wait is about an hour long! They fill up for a reason.

I've been craving katsu from my go-to spot in NYC (NYers will know the place) and this place quenched the crave. I got the Thick Cut Pork Katsu and it was juicy, tender, and crisp. The hot mustard mixed into the self-ground sesame seeds and sawce is perfection. The cabbage and miso soup on the side were great to refresh the palate. I think I need to try the Black Line Pork Katsu for a true comparison. Service was awesome, but plan on a wait. I waited 20 mins for an early dinner on a Wednesday and when I left there were at least 20 people waiting outside.

The restaurant was small so only take out. The food takes about 30 minutes to make. The workers here are nice and friendly. The food here are very delicious but I don't think I will go out of my way next time because it's kind of pricey and no dining in. Plus I'm not from here.

I absolutely love this place! We got there on a Tues just as they were opening and were promptly seated. The staff is very friendly and attentive. They came by often to make sure we were ok. They even went over how to ground up the sesame seeds to add to the katsu sauce. We ordered the chicken, thick cut pork, and shrimp katsu and each was amazing. Perfectly battered as well as light and crispy. It went perfectly with the tangy sauce with the nuttiness from the crushed sesame. The mound of cabbage it comes with looks intimidating but once you add the sauce for it I almost finished the whole thing. It also came with rice, miso soup, and small cucumber side. Can't believe how much I ate. I will be back every time I go to Vegas.

Delicious! Small restaurant so will have a wait if you don't get there early. But the food is sooo good. Flaky, crispy, tender and the salad is my favorite, the sauce is do good.

I have and will always recommend Ton Ton to all my friend who are in town in Las Vegas. Its a bit of a drive from the strip (about 15 minutes) but it is one of the reasons why Las Vegas is so special. There is much to offer (especially food options) West of the strip! The shop opens for a period of the time for Brunch and shuts down until dinner time. This place can get packed so make sure you come in early or prepare for a wait. -Great staff -Parking can get packed on the weekends -Pork set is the go to option! -Very comforting and authentic setting -The seasame preparation at the beggining is always fun!

Ton Ton Katsuya is a local treasure! Great food, friendly service, and the ambiance immediately takes me back to Japan. I got the Mixed Seafood Katsu Set on this particular visit. While I confirmed I definitely prefer the pork, it was still a solid meal.

The most authentic Japanese katsu I have had for a while. I felt that I had taken a mini-trip to Japan for lunch! Quick and friendly service (on a weekday) The staff gladly accommodated our needs. The oversized menu was cool!

My friend and I stopped by for dinner. There are no reservations, and the restaurant is small, so the wait can get pretty long. We got there about 5 min before opening, and there was still a line. Keep in mind that if you go with a large group, it'll likely be a long wait. It's also not a place I'd feel comfortable sitting around and chatting afterwards since I know people are waiting. We both got a glass of Asahi draft and ordered the yuzu miso toro salmon for an appetizer. The salmon dish was very small but it was delicious and the tartar sauce was very refreshing. We both ordered the thick cut pork loin set, which comes with shredded cabbage, pickled cucumbers, rice, and miso soup. The pork was good and not too heavily breaded. However, I felt it was a bit dry. Make sure you grind your sesame seeds and add the katsu sauce with it. There is also some Wasabi that you eat with the katsu and it helps cut the heaviness of the dish. The cabbage is great with the sesame dressing. The miso soup was good and not too salty. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and wouldn't mind going back.

I must have added a Ton to my bathroom scale after this meal. Ton Ton Katsuya is the hotspot that has become the fried Japanese pork cutlet darling in town, especially after the tonkatsu spot on Jones closed (although, side note, it appears to have reopened in an Anthem location). Located in a small plaza between near the former location of Suzuya, this was not hard to find, and I've actually driven by quite a lot while embarrassingly ignoring it. I finally rectified that oversight today. I showed up right at the start of dinner service, and lo and behold, the dining room was almost full already. I did get seated promptly though, and I ordered a slew of items which I'm surprised that I more or less handled. Okinawa Milk Tea ($4.25) arrived first. Described as a black tea with brown sugar, it's not too sweet, akin perhaps to 50% sugar at some boba spots. I tried to keep my sips moderate, but I liked it so much that I ended up finishing it before I was done with my entree. Next was my appetizer, the Yuzu Miso Fresh Toro Salmon ($9.50). It's probably shareable between two people, but why would I? The salmon pieces were all nicely marbled, and although they pre-dressed it with the yuzu miso, I preferred dipping my salmon in the bundled "extra" yuzu miso to add more of that sweet and umami goodness. The one slight issue was the presence of one pin bone, which I fortunately caught. I was curious about the limited-time special, so I ordered it. The Kushikatsu ($9.50) skewer seems to be described as containing Berkshire Black Line Pork (aka Kurobuta), which would be the same protein as the entree, but - spoiler for the entree - it was much juicier and richer in this application. I also loved how the panko breading was crispy and free of grease and the onion portion pretty much dissolved in my mouth. The miso sauce added a nice sweet and savory component, and the huge mound of cabbage slaw was fresh and crisp and went well with the sesame sauce. I enjoyed the Kurobuta set ($32.00), but it was more in the academic sense of how it was such a thick cut of pork yet remained so tender. It had the crispy panko breading, and the interior wasn't dry, but I was missing that juicy burst which I had in the kushikatsu. Also, there was an unrendered fat portion on one end which was less than fully pleasant. I did enjoy playing around with the accompaniments as advised on that one list of instructions (which was actually not facing me on my table, but which I found while researching on Yelp). The pork was enjoyable both on its own an in combination with various permutations of Katsu sauce with ground sesame (which you're asked to grind yourself with wooden bowl and pestle), pink salt, wasabi salt, sesame dressing, lemon wedge, and the lightly pickled cucumbers. The miso soup was good too, but the rice was a bit wet for my liking. Meta side-note: I inadvertently cheated the algorithm earlier (any guess how?) to get a checkmark for ambiance, so let me make up for it now. I did appreciate that the music volume was on the quiet side, and the songs were coffeehouse-esque covers of Western pop music w/ female-sounding vocals. The seating for me was a little awkward because the divider between me and a group of two only extended the length of the table, but I made do. I'm calling Ton Ton Katsuya a 4.5 since I'd personally shy away from reordering the Berkshire katsu and I would actually have to try a different protein entree to be certain that it's delicious. That said, I would definitely recommend it to all carnivores and anyone craving a hearty yet not heavy breaded pork. Don't be surprised if there's a wait, but it'll be worth it.

I really loved all the presentation, starting from the large rotating menu that showed their set options! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted, sat, and given the large menu. I ordered the organic chicken katsu set, which came with (a lot of) cabbage salad, short grain rice, and miso soup! The chicken was super flakey and juicy! It went perfectly with the katsu sauce. Before your meal comes, they give you a small pestle and mortar with sesame seeds that you grind up and add the katsu sauce to! It's so tasty, and the smell of fresh ground sesame is 10/10. For the cabbage salad, they have a cold sesame sauce that is very light and refreshing. I usually don't like a lot of salad dressing, but I drenched the cabbage.

Food 5/5 Big portion and each set comes with rice and miso soup. Service 5/5 There wasn't a lot of table so there were only 2 servers. Servers who speak Japanese and English . They were nice , attentive and quick. Ambiance 4/5 the place is small so it feel a bit cramped. However decor is nice . The place is clean

Just came back from Japan. Yeah, worth the rave. Only because we happened to be in the area at 450pm, and was the 2nd party in line outside (in the heat). So when they opened at 5pm, there was no wait to be seated. AC is blasted. They really care about every ingredients just like in Japan... From the rice, to the sauce, everything was perfect for the price. Great place for smaller parties (4 and less). They specialize in katsu. Made to order. Fresh, diy grind sauce. No rsvp, there will be even a small line before opening at 5pm. They teach you how to make your own sauce (grind sesame, add red jar sauce on the side). Fyi, Allergy: Katsu batter and curry has dairy, and can not be made dairy free. Line with 2 parties (3, 6) before us at 450pm waiting outside. - $9.50 Yuzu Miso Fresh Toro Salmon (dairy free) - $6.75 Kumidashi Cold Tofu (dairy free) - $21 Thick Cut Pork loin Katsu + $1 clam miso soup (dairy free) - $8.50 Pork Katsu Sandal to go. They'll have it ready for you at the end of your meal. Recommend to anyone looking for perfection at a decent price. It's higher priced than other restaurants but they don't even come closer to comparison in quality.

The very best katsu I've had in USA. Very small place with few tables not managed entirely well (eg a single sitting down for a table for 4). No reservations. So, consider yourself lucky if you snagged a table.

So happy to have been able to make it here. Food and service was excellent! This is exactly what my family and I had been craving and we were so excited to try it and it did not dissapoint. We can't wait to go back!

This place is a true treasure, but make sure to get here early; the line forms fast, and for good reason! Ton Ton Katsu prioritizes food quality over turning tables, and it shows. The pork katsu is a masterpiece - tender, juicy, and utterly delightful with every bite. The cabbage salad makes for a perfect pairing, adding a refreshing crunch to the meal. And don't get me started on the scallop and toro salmon - they're absolute must-tries! If you're in Southwest Las Vegas and craving a top-notch Japanese meal, Ton Ton Katsu is where you need to be. The quality and flavors here are worth every minute of the wait.

Arrived at 10:35 AM on a Sunday, there were already two parties waiting in their cars in the parking lot. 10 minutes before opening at 10:50 AM, people started to line up at the door. Others don't always respect the order in which the cars arrived, but some do, so don't be afraid to start the line. Seated within the first round and placed an order within 5 minutes. Ordered: - #1 Thick Cut Pork Katsu Set - 4/5 - Jumbo Scallops Katsu - 5/5 - Tofu Katsu - 3/5 - King Oyster Mushroom Katsu - 3.5/5 Quiet environment that allows you to talk amongst your table without yelling. In fact, you can totally listen in on the adjacent tables. Well lit dining room, Strictly Dumpling videos played on the TV, as usual. Service is attentive, water's constantly topped off. Fun Facts: - By 11:48 AM, the wait time was 90 minutes long. - Saw a Sonic employee swing by for some takeout, he knows what's up. Summary: Food was good, but due to the wait most people have to deal with on weekends and the price-to-quality ratio, I'd give a 4/5 overall (rounded up from 3.5 - value played a huge role here).

Japanese food is my favorite cuisine and I've been dying to return to Japan. Ton Ton transported me back to the 2019 trip of eating Katsu in the local Japanese restaurants. It is one thing when the shop has an amazing presentation, but another when they have the taste to match and TonTon does both. FOOD: They have a variety of katsu from different cuts of pork, chicken, shrimp, veggies and scallops - there is really something for everyone. Each katsu combo also came with a pile of shredded cabbage, a bowl of rice, miso soup, and sesame seeds for you to grind and an unlimited serving of their housemade katsu sauce stationed at each table. They provide you with a bottle of salad dressing so you can use as little or as much as you want. We ordered: - Scallop Katus $16: we were hesitant to order this at first because you're paying $8 for 1 scallop, BUT I've never seen katsu scallop anywhere else AND it was sashimi grade so we said yolo. AND SO GLAD WE DID! - Pork Katsu: I wish this came with more cuts, because there were only 4 pieces which isn't a lot for the price, but still very delicious. - Organic Chicken Katsu: for chicken, this was so tender and juicy! SERVICE: On my 3rd attempt to try TonTon we finally made it on a Thurs night @ 6pm. We arrived and were seated immediately. Very friendly staff, keep our waters filled and food came out at a decent time AMBIANCE: Very small restaurant with seating for up to 6 people. The wait can be really long during the busy hours so plan ahead if you don't want to wait! Def recommend coming to try if you love Japanese food, especially Katsu! I wish there were something similar in the SF Bay Area!

Went on a Friday AM and got there around 11:30. We were told the wait was 90 minutes so we went to get coffee and boba nearby and came back in 60 minutes and got seated right away. The menu was a big revolving standup sign with descriptive pictures that was super fun. I went right for the limited quantity Kuro-Buta pork loin Katsu set. Was not disappointed. The pork was tender and juicy and the outer breading was crispy. The Katsu with the mustard was amazing as was both the wasabi and pink salts. A squeeze of lemon and plain was also delicious. They give you a bowl of sesame seeds so you can grind it with a stick and then put the tonkatsu sauce on top. The cabbage was so finely shredded every bite was perfect. The sesame dressing tasted great on top of the salad. The miso soup was hot and well seasoned. Lots of tasty tofu in it. The clam miso was good but I liked the regular miso better. The restaurant was small but clean and service was prompt. The overall food compares well with the Katsu in Tokyo and Osaka I have tried.

Update： I took my daughter there tonight for dinner, I had seafood katsu, which I finished almost everything but three pieces of my protein. So I asked for a box to go. That sweet lady took my tray away and packed for me. This is what I see when I opened the togo bag when I got home. New rice, salad, and little side of edamame. More sauce packed ready to go. I am having a lunch box ready for tomorrow.

Been here many time but first time reviewing it! This place is legit. They model themselves as Japan in Vegas. Closet thing to Japan I'll ever see! BE PREPARED TO WAIT 45 mins to 1 hr. Get packed really fast but it's worth the wait. Check this place out ... you might like it.

The best Kat's I've had in Vegas. It was so tender and flavorful. The service and atmosphere was great and the food was amazing. Will be back!

Extraordinary food, got there late on a weekday and had to take it to go, still was incredible.

"Isn't Ton Ton the pig in Naruto? I WANT TO EAT TSUNADE'S PIG!" Listen to Rod U. from Honolulu and get the Black Line Kurobuta Pork Set. It's worth it. It's juicier, tastier, and fattier. That being said, I had ordered the pork loin set and traded a piece for some of the kurobuta pork. My gosh! I was so insanely jealous and I still regret it a month later. Also to note, Ton Ton Katsuya serves up a cold beer in a frosty mug so be sure to get yourself a mug. This place is great. You might have to end up waiting outside as it's on the smaller side and the outside has no shade unless you try to mooch some shade from Sonics Drive-Thru next door.
