Tonkichi holds a special place in my heart for the fact that I am always assured of quality during each visit. I am wary of most tonkatsu offerings elsewhere because they tend to have these problems i.e. crust being too thick and oily, the meat being too dry due to overcooking or the oily and overly-rich aftertaste. Tonkichi is always able to produce consistently good tonkatsu and my favourite is the kurobuta which has more meat juices compared to other types of pork used in tonkatsu. However, as the kurobuta commands a premium price due to its quality and lesser quantity in the market, I only turn to this comfort food once in a while to satisfy my cravings.

I also tried something this time i.e. the tsukune and momo with leeks. Surprisingly, I preferred the tsukune over the momo despite the expectation that the momo's texture should have been smoother than the tsukune.

In all, if you are looking for quality Japanese food and is prepared to pay a bit more than usual, this is the place for you.

Tonkichi is a japanese restaurant chain owned by Pokka (now known as Sapporo Lion). It specializes in Pork Katsu dishes...many choices of premium pork cutlets to choose from. For dinner, I ordered a Rosu Katsu set that consists of crispy pork loin cutlet, rice and miso soup. I also ordered the Horenso Goma Ae appetizer to go with my set meal. Both dishes were yummy! One good thing about Tonkichi is their ice water, green tea, raw cabbage and fruit are complimentary items. Check my blog for more

I may not be a ramen fan,but the version here taste really good and I would not mind to revisit here just for this bowl of ramen. The ramen is chewy and the portion is also quite generous. THe soup base is really thick, creamy and sweet, which certainly is tasty. Sliced pork meat are very juicy and tender, that goes really well with this dish. The service here is also friendly and helpful too.

Was glad that i have listened to my friend to check out the Japanese dishes at Tonkichi. Have tried their japanese curry rice and is simply delicious and quite fine in their quality of food. But the best part which i like about this Japanese restaurant is that they offer free flow of cabbage, charcoal green tea and free top up of your japanese rice as well. The cabbage is really crunchy and love those natural sweetness from it which is very appetitizing and goes really well with the main cours

If dip in their sweet Japanese sauce will even taste better as well.

This is sinfully delicious, oily, fried, crispy and juicy! Very yummy especially when taken with the yellow mustard. I love it especially how the pork retains its juiciness despite being thoroughly fried. The cabbage at the sides proves to be refreshing for the meal, it takes off the jerlatness. Very welcoming indeed. Most people stick to eating the tonkutsu, but we decided that we should also try something else instead. This is the unagi roll that we orded, it is pretty good too!

Food taste awesome.

I went there with my sisters, we ordered 1 set for each of us. Initially, we thought that the portions were small therefore we didn't expect it to be quite a large portion.
Their black pork meat taste soft and tender, it really taste different from those normal pork.

Don't order a full set if you're not a big eater, 1 set would be nice to share among 2 person with some other sides.

There are quite limited seats in the restaurant, but it's a good place to dine with family and friends.

I have dinner a few times in this restaurant and I've seen quite a few groups of Japanese dine there too.

Some of the staffs were friendly and nice!
Would definitely go again with family and friends.

To end the meal on a sweet note we ordered Black Sesame & Green tea Ice cream to share.

The place is simply decorated with a casual Japanese setting. Overall the Japaneses food is not bad and the set are value for money. Will go back if I crave for Japaneses food.

Went there with friend for dinner. I ordered Hire Katsu Curry. I was rather impressed when I received my food. It was deep fried pork fillet with homemade Japanese curry sauce. The pork fillet was fried in golden brown, it was crispy and crunchy. The pork fillet was tender and juicy but a bit oily. However, the homemade curry was good. It was thick and had a tinge of sweetness and got me wanting for more. The salad was not bad too. The vegetables was fresh and it have some sauce inside it. Overa

The chicken katsu is also really good. the meat is very tender and juicy.

the tonjiru is really good too, a must order. they are very generous with their pork, however the soup is a little oily but nevertheless, it is really awesome and tasty!

i took plenty of pics, so just let the pics do the talking. it is as good as it looks!

a great place to bring the family on a day out! i bet the kids will simply love the katsu and the soup!

Very happy that Tonkichi's got a new branch at TM & we had one of our birthday celebration here~ For some reasons dining here doesn't feel as great as the other branches, maybe due to the larger crowd & lack of staffs... The orders take longer to come so it's better if u are in a big group & u can chat or game to kill your time...
