Nishitokyo, Tokyo, Japan｜Hinode Tonkatsu

The owners are really friendly and the food is delicious/ reasonably priced! Definitely pay this place a visit

It has the atmosphere of an old-fashioned Western restaurant in town. It's a pork cutlet restaurant, but they also have pork saute, ginger grilled meat, pilaf, Turkish rice, sandwiches, and fritters. All of them have nostalgic, orthodox flavors that make you think, ``This is fine.'' There is only one tatami room for four people and a counter. It's small and relaxing. There was a huge goldfish in the aquarium, which also felt nostalgic. A couple? She runs the shop, and when an order is placed, her mother prepares the food with great care. It's very comforting to look at and makes me excited for the meal. Cutlet rice is 850 yen, and cutlet lunch is 700 yen, making it a great value. The cutlet rice is pork cutlet and the cutlet lunch is chicken cutlet. The batter is firm and the meat is tender. The rice, which is cooked in a pot and then transferred to an insulated jar, has the perfect consistency and taste. The glossy rice goes well with any side dish. We recommend adding pork soup (100 yen). In addition to the pork, the toppings are not overly varied, such as burdock root and onions, and they complement the side dishes and rice. The miso is made every time you order, so it's not overcooked and has a perfectly light flavor. However, it is very hot, so please be careful if you have a cat taste. The cutlet curry is also great. The roux is a ``curry of those days'' that is slightly spicy and thick. The Turkish ketchup rice is also buttery, moist and delicious. There's no Noren, so you won't know if they're doing it or not until you get to the front of the store, but that's a charm.

I asked Mr. Sunrise. The signboard of the shop says "Tonkatsu", but the atmosphere is like a retro diner with a western menu. When I visited around 18:00 and entered the store, the plates were lined up on the counter and they were busy preparing for delivery. I ordered "hamburger steak" and "rice" by looking at the gap, but it was said that it was over today. I ordered "grilled chicken" and "rice" that I wanted second. "Grilled chicken" was completely different from what I had imagined, but the meat was very soft and the soy sauce-based sauce had a good taste. The novelty of adding mustard has also become a favorite. "Rice" was like a large serving, but I got a lot of it ♪ It was very delicious!! Even while I was eating, the shop received phone calls for orders one after another and refused to say "Hamburg steak is over". It made me want to eat "hamburger steak" more and more!! Two male customers who came to the store later also ordered omurice and the western menu was very popular. There were many delivery orders, so I was prepared for a waiting time, but the cooperation between the female shopkeeper who cooked, the cooking assistant, and the male clerk who delivered the food was wonderful, and the food was served without waiting so much. It was a wonderful restaurant where you can feel the deliciousness of the food, warmth, and nostalgia.
