Wako Donkatsu

After 10 years of being a customer I can say that the quality of the food has gone down significantly. The amount and crispyness of the batter (the crispy crumble that is fried onto the meat cutlet of choice) has gone down and the side dishes (jalapeños and radish squares) are mushy. Also you can hear the noise from the kitchen while you're eating.

Excellent donkatsu! Every time I am in Ktown, I wanna drop by this place. The place is packed all the time. The donkatsu is juicy with the perfect amount of crispiness. The curry is savory. The dark grey noodles (I forgot what they are called…oh yeah buckwheat noodles 모밀) are the exact amount of firmness. I see below…they are called soba. The sauce for the buckwheat noodles is awesome sauce. The cheese donkatsu is a little cheesy. I recommend that one person order the cheese donkatsu and another person order the regular donkatsu and split & share. This place even has an activity. It’s fun to crush the sesame while waiting for the sauce to be poured into the saucer. Chilled barley water. 보리차. Now that’s awesome! Portions are too big…actually. And I feel guilty ordering only two plates for three people. Excellent decor! One tip - do not annoy the servers, particularly during their break time. And double check that you received your credit card after paying. Most servers are so good. Just keep on your toes. But all in all, this place is awesome.

Service: 5/5 Food:5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Comments: perfection. Service is excellent, the atmosphere is well, and the food is very delicious. The tonkatsu was perfectly breaded and fried. I spent ~18 so pretty good value.

Our favorite place in LA for Donkatsu! Several options to choose from including beef, chicken, pork with toppings such as daikon or curry. There are also some ramen and rice dishes here as well.

Good food. We ordered a few different things to give them a shot. Really enjoyed it, the steak was the only thing that was mediocre everything we preferred was really good. Probably make my way back here next time in K-town and try something different.

My whole family loves this place. It is 40 minutes away from my house but is worth it. The pork cutlet is delicous and crunchy. My kids love the sauce that they serve, specialy because they get to grind the sesame seeds. The portions are big, and everything taste great.

Called in for a pickup order. Doesn't seem like this spot has a parking lot but I could be wrong since I only had takeout. Top tier service as soon as I walked in since they saved me from having to deal with some guy who tried to cut in front of me.

I’ve been coming here since way back in the day, so I’m pretty familiar with the food. The chicken katsu today had different breading and didn’t taste like the usual, but it was still good. I like their soba chicken katsu combo and their cabbage salad is good!
