Tonkotsu is a Japanese dish that consists of a breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet. It involves coating slices of pork with panko (bread crumbs), and then frying them in oil. The two main types are fillet and loin. Tonkatsu is also the basis of other dishes such as katsukarē and katsudon. I get the sauce katsudon here at katsuya multiple times a week. It's ingredients are top quality and filling! I love the pickled daikon that they have and the super spicy mustard is fantastic!! The compliments tea is nice too. They serve fresh hot donburi and I think I have a little bit of the best place to get it! Either a pork fillet (ヒレ, hire) or pork loin (ロース, rōsu) cut may be used; the meat is usually salted, peppered, dredged lightly in flour, dipped into beaten egg and then coated with panko (bread crumbs) before being deep fried. Tonkatsu is then sliced into bits and served, commonly with shredded cabbage. It is most commonly eaten with a type of thick brown sauce called tonkatsu sauce or simply sōsu (sauce), karashi (mustard), and perhaps a slice of lemon. It is usually served with rice In general, breaded and deep-fried foods are called furai (frys). Furai of mammal or bird meats, such as pork, beef, or chicken are called katsu (cutlet). Furai of ingredients other than that are just called furai, such as aji-furai (fried horse mackerel) and ebi-furai (fried prawn). Tonkatsu and other furais are never called tempura. Tempura is not breaded, and is not seen as a kind of furai.

Cheap, tasty, and filling. I got the regular katsudon/gyudon combo.
