Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Tonkatsu Wako Subunade Shinjuku

Quality a bit higher than your average tonkatsu place. Had a long line outside and food took a bit long to arrive. But worth the wait. Good dressings and sauces on the side with more refined taste than your fast food-tasting duly tonkatsu. Recommended 👍🏻

Wako is a reliable delicious Tonkatsu chain that can be found in locations around Japan. I see many people posting these gourmet tonkatsu places, which I am sure are great (check some of my other reviews), but Wako's Katsu is on par with some of the best "boutique" Tonkatsu places. I went with my partner and a friend, they both had the super filet Katsu, and I also had a version of fillet or "hire" that was delicious. The taste is predictable, the cabbage, the rice, and the miso soup are all free refills, and I will happily eat at a Wako any day of the week.

The food was soo good. The pork chop was soo crispy and the sauce was great. The pork chop wasn't greasy at all and plenty of salad.
