I went here last November 2025 at the recommendation of my teacher. Firstly, the atmosphere was quite intimidating—the first floor consists of a wide area where the staff prepare the food and a counter surrounding the area. The second floor I believe is for groups. I tried to order in Japanese but misread the menu so I was immediately handed over an English menu I ordered hirekatsu, which in retrospect was a mistake. While waiting for the food, I observed how the staff moved with practiced motions in preparing the meals. I can tell that this is an efficient operation. It was just a bit weird that the guests are being watched by who seemed to be the boss, I'm not sure, which honestly felt like an exam proctor watching students My food came soon enough and I was disappointed that the meat was not juicy and was dry. It was also not flavorful. The soup was very tasty though. Since the meal is quite expensive, I made sure I got my money's worth by ordering refills for the rice and soup. As for the service, it seemed quite cold. I wouldn't say the staff were rude, but it was a place that didn't feel welcoming. Price per person: ¥2,000–3,000 Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

4/2/26 - 3 stars Can't remember where I heard about this place and for some reason I had in my mind that this was meant to be one of best tonkatsu in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I was left a little disappointed. Notably, there is no line outside and there are quite a few foreigners. Tonkatsu Flavour: S, 8/10. It's ok, but, not particularly juicy or umami. Texture: A, 7/10. Just alright. Value: B, 6/10. ¥2500 set. Loin and fillet were not noticeably different either. Definitely have had better tonkatsu in Japan and probably even Sydney. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

I’ve been going to eat at Tonki since 1982. They only make tonkatsu so they have to be good at it. Some reviewers have made negative comments about the food’s taste which immediately tells me they are biased , have rocks in their head, or both. Others think it’s a place to practice their Japanese. Come on now, this is a very good restaurant making money on turnover, not Japanese lessons. Enjoy the ambiance. Watch real experts cook. Shut up and eat. Tonki is the standard for genuine tonkatsu.
