Sumida City, Tokyo, Japan｜Tonkatsu Hasegawa

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.

Great! Live up to expectations. I really enjoyed everything we ordered. Side dishes were great too. We will definitely go back again. Went back for lunch. Everything we ordered, the sandwich, the deluxe cutlet, and the cutlet on rice were all excellent. I am glad we were back for the last lunch this trip in Tokyo.

On a one-on-one basis, this was the single tastiest dish in my trip to Japan! The tonkatsu was juicy throughout (without being oily at all) is an understatement. Very well-seasoned, balanced and a pleasure to go through bite by bite. We also had some excellent yams and crab croquettes (bechamel sauce-based on the inside). A great find, with minimal waiting time (went around closing at ~ 14:00), caring service and amazing atmosphere. It’s an absolute jem for me (hidden or not, up to you to decide)!
