Tonkatsu Hasegawa

The staff & servers were very friendly and spoke good english. i got the combo to taste both Donkatsu (tenderloin and fatter loin), and thoroughly worth it!! I love cucumbers, so I ordered the Meat Miso Cucumbers as a starter. it was do good! I got there about 11:15 am which is about fifteen minutes earlier than dope an hour, but there was a line already. so be aware of the long wait, if you're going to go there during the lunch or dinner peak time.

Went right around 11:30 when they opened and only had to wait a couple minutes. The server spoke enough English and they had an English menu. Most importantly the food was fantastic. I had the #2 deluxe cutlet and it was absolutely delicious. Crispy coating and juicy inside.

The better cuts of meat runs out quick, so be prepared to not be able to try the famous cuts. Otherwise, the other cuts were average and not worth the 1 hour wait. Service staffs were generally quite nice tho!

I visited Tonkatsu Hasegawa on a Sunday night for dinner around 8:00pm a few months ago. It was a packed house and there were already a few people in line ahead of me. The wait was about 25 minutes, but you’re given a menu so you can order fairly quickly. I went with their deluxe pork loin set. It was a very good piece of pork as you can tell from the photos. As with most good tonkatsu set meals it came with a nice miso soup, rice, and cabbage. Plus the spicy mustard made the meal even better.

I booked this restaurant through Google, and when arriving, there was no wait—the reserved sign was already set on my table. I ordered the Super Deluxe Pork Loin Cutlet. The meal started with side dishes: pickles, some kind of seaweed with beans, ponzu sauce with grated daikon, and even a hand towel. When the main dish came, the portion was huge! It came with pink salt, wasabi, and mustard for dipping, while the tonkatsu sauce was already on the table. The pork was incredibly tender, not greasy at all, and perfectly crispy. Whether with the sauce or just with salt, it tasted amazing. It’s rare to find a tonkatsu spot this good—the recommendation was spot on, and it didn’t disappoint!

The restaurant offers a very pleasant atmosphere. The service is friendly and there is an English menu for tourists. The food was delicious and, with tips and recommendations from the wait staff, it was a wonderful dining experience.

absolutely amazing food and great service! we came in around 9pm and it was still full of people and the food was delicious! a definite must try!

My second visit (4 years later) and it was just as good as I remembered. The regular pork loin set is nice and juicy and fatty. The batter is light, crunchy and delicious. The pork in the curry set unfortunately is a bit drier. The iced tea provided is refreshing. They have an English menu. Total for 4 adults for lunch was 6100 yen. Amazing value.

We had a fantastic lunch at this restaurant. It is small but they turn the tables pretty quickly for lunch. I believe there were about 10 tables. While we were waiting in line an employee came out and gave us menus. She then came back about 10 minutes later and took our order while we were still in line. We were seated shortly after and served our food about five minutes after we sat down. We had the #2 and #3. The #2 was Hasegawa's Deep Fried Deluxe Pork Cutlet with higher grade meat covered in a panko coating with garlic, Japanese basil and cheese. The #3 was a deep-fried pork loin cutlet, containing higher grade meat coveredin a panko coating. Both were served with rice, miso soup, kimchi, and oolong tea. Their Katsu sauce was fantastic, and I enjoyed mixing it with their hot mustard. Everything we had at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic! I noticed that they were recognized by Michelin. I would absolutely eat here again.

Best tonkatsu I've ever had in my life! Super crispy and the meat was tender. The cabbage with the sauce was spectacular as well. Came right when they opened so no wait, but it got packed pretty quickly. Was seated at the bar and got to watch the chef fry, which was cool. Service was great, everyone was really friendly.

This is a Michelin star or nominated restaurant? Anyways, food portions are fairly large but the tonkatsu was pretty fatty. The curry had chunks of beef- just a heads up for those who don't eat beef since this isn't listed on the menu. Service is kinda short/prompt. When the server realized one of us spoke Japanese, her attitude toward just them was so much better than when she would address myself and my friend

This tonkatsu is not in one of those tourist areas in Tokyo, so you may only see local Japanese here. Excellent katsu and very reasonably priced. A lunch set with generous portion of pork loin or fillet, rice, and set was 2000 yen. If I remember correctly where was no English menu, but Google translate worked perfectly fine.

I'm not sure how we knew to look for this place, but it ended up on our radar, and we felt the need to find it. Worth the effort, and then some! The storefront is unassuming, no English in sight. Please go in, it is worth any awkwardness you may feel. They are kind and helpful. An English menu is available. I had the ¥1000 set which was pork loin slices cooked to perfection. My husband had the next set up, which included a side of the tonkatsu. OMG, it was such tender, succulent , flavourful pork!, The rice and cabbage flow upon request. When I come back to Japan, I'm coming here. When anyone I know comes to Japan, I am recommending Hasegawa Tonkatsu.

They are skillful craftsmen in the art of tonkotsu making. High quality meat with technique that does not get in the way of the product but elevate it to the next level. I recommend the premium pork (item #1) set and a mug of asahi beer. My only comment is that their english menu does not include all the items. Its hard to explore their entire selection because of this.
