Tonkatsu Daiki

The best tonkatsu we had in Japan! A delightfully crunchy exterior, with the most succulent cut of pork. The chef was fantastic and accommodating, and helped us pick out a cut we would enjoy best - and he was spot on! You must try with salt first, then tonkatsu sauce, then mustard. And for those adventurous, double dip the tonkatsu and mustard for the most flavoursome bite! We waited around an hour in the queue, and received the final seating. We weren’t rushed out, but were encouraged to savour every bite. This is a place I will most definitely come to again. (I started eating before I took the photo - it was way too good to wait).

Out of all the tonkatsu spots I tried in Japan, Tonkatsu Daiki was hands down my favorite. The wait was about 45 minutes, but absolutely worth it. The chef was incredibly kind, helped us order, and his recommendations did not disappoint. The pork was perfectly cooked with just the right thickness, and the service was warm and welcoming. An amazing experience from start to finish.

Amazing tonkatsu at this restaurant. They obviously only make one thing and they do it well. The tonkatsu was so tender and soft. Batter extremely crispy and fluffy. Not oily. Good rice and salad too. And condiments were good too. You have to eat it quick for your batter to stay crispy. We had to wait about 30 mins in the line but it was worth it.

One of the best tonkatsu I’ve ever tasted. The meat is fat and juicy. Love the sauces. Chef will come and check on customer for the food. There’s quite a bit of foreigner customers. The food serves slowly (not too slow) I think the chef cook them 1 by 1.

Had the best tonkatsu ever. It was truly an awesome experience and would visit again in a heartbeat. There was a line out the front and it took forever to get inside, so the lesson for next time is to make reservations. Once inside things went quite well, so not sure what happened with the other negative reviews. I do not speak Japanese either, but did not have any issues communicating with the staff. Itadakimasu (いただきます)!

I almost didn't go in because looking through window it looks like there are no clients. I went anyway and so glad I did. There are only a few tables in the back and a few bar seats. I ordered the lean pork loin #2 after reading another review, 180 grams. It was so good. Despite being lean, it was cooked just right so it was so soft and juicy. It tasted great. Of the 3 dipping sauces, teriyaki, mustard, salt. I enjoyed the first two the most. The pork didn’t need more salt. In fact it was so good without any additional sauce, but the sauce just gave it a bit extra. I don't have Tonkatsu often because I'm trying to reduce fat. This was lean and the coating was light and crispy and was not oily. It was so good, I have to go back!

Waited around 45 minutes for a spot as tables and seating are limited inside. We ordered the chef’s recommendation — the tonkatsu was very crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside, although for my preferences it could have been a little more cooked on the inside. The sauces are good to pair, and I enjoyed the lettuce on the side, as it helped to add more flavors to the food besides just meats and rice. Cash only.

Excellent tongkatsu.. deginitely a solid 5 for the quality n price range. Staff is friendly. Took the lightest lean cut and karaage. its just nice. I like the refillable cabbage, rice and miso (twice i think) Will recommend to friends.
