Tonki

Tonki is one of best family run restaurants in Tokyo. The set menu provides three types of pork chop dishes with free flow of steam rice and cabbages. Three beverages include Sake, beer and Tea. Very simple menu and drinks but performed in perfection. Every chefs and waitress are so professional and passionate on their roles. You can feel the dynamic between the family members performing different roles. All dishes are so authentic and delicious. It is always a great experience to be there.

I’m becoming more and more a huge fan of tonkatsu. So I wanna try more and more restaurants whenever I’m in Tokyo. Tonki has always been on my radar and I finally had a chance to check it out for dinner. I was surprised how many seats this place has. It’s huge and the kitchen is rather spacious. It’s got a pretty chill vibe as everyone is sitting together. I ended up getting the hire katsu meal and the quality of pork was good. It tasted even better with the Chinese mustard sauce. The coating on their pork cutlet is some of the lightest I’ve ever had. All in all it was a very good meal and I’m glad to have finally tried it.

We were recommended by different people. Sort of family business with very limited menu. 3 dishes. Classic one bar kitchen front restaurant, but cool concept. Rice and cabbage all you can eat. Definitely a must

A neighborhood institution, Tonki has been a favorite of our family for decades. The Hire-Katsu (Fillet Katsu) is what we order, always. Make reservations ahead of time, as it was absolutely rammed once it opened. The U-shaped counter on the ground floor gives you a good glimpse of how they prepare the katsu. It gets pretty toasty there as they fry out in the open. So be prepared to inhale the greasy air if you're seated downstairs. Upstairs, there are group seating areas. It's a mix of tables, and also traditional private rooms with tatami. The food isn't spectacular or mind blowing, just high quality good katsu that you can rely on.

I ordered a special rice set and pork chop curry rice The thick and flexible pork chops in the fried pork chop set meal, paired with fresh, sweet, and light eggs and sweet sauce onions, immediately amazed me! Curry is salty, while pork chops are slightly thinner compared to the former, and when paired with fragrant rice, they are particularly appetizing Delicious beyond expectations! I translated the Chinese menu of this restaurant for friends in need

Good Tonkatsu but it didn't quite blow me away. The set menu, priced at 2300¥, offers decent value with miso soup, pickles, unlimited rice, and cabbage. Unfortunately, the second-floor table was a bit of a letdown, feeling rather plain and uninspiring. Next time, I'll opt for a counter seat to fully immerse myself in the dining experience.

Random side street pop in for lunch as we got off the train on our way to Planet Labs. Unable to read signs but photo of meal looked good so went inside. Cheerful friendly greeting from all the staff. Sat down and ordered - didn’t know what but thankful it was the set menu 1100yen each of a pork schnitzel cabbage miso soup and rice. Huge serve for lunch tender meat, crumbed to perfection ,delicious soup and fresh side of finely shredded cabbage and red onion. Free ice tea as well. Such a lovely experience- loved it.

Location: Less than 2 mins walk from the 目黑駅 train station. As I walked in, I was amazed how big this restaurant was especially in Tokyo city. It was fun to sit at the counter, watching the busy open kitchen. Food: the fried pork was soft with flavor and the staffs were friendly to refill my tea and cabbage salad. At the end, one of the staff gave me a snack😊
