Katsukichi Shibuya

Famous pork cutlet place around shibuya. Staffs can speak English. Menu is bilingual as well. Various sauces and side dishes to chose from but after trying various tonkatsu places I was wondering why this place made to top 100. Meat was dry and sauces were very factory assemble / chain restaurant like taste. Credit card is fine and only steps away from jr shibuya new south exit.

Get the set $75 for 3 people! The prawns are worth it! They were huge!!!! And so full of meat. Also get the Shiso Rice which was like cilantro rice but fresher. The pork was amazing. The fried Oyster was huge(extra). The fried qauil eggs were amazing(extra). The sauces were amazing. Miso soup was unique and earthy and a bit bitter.

If you want great tonkatsu not far from Shibuya station, I highly recommend this place. I assume if you're reading this that you are a tourist so let me assure you that you should just go for the 特上ロースかつ定食. It's well worth the cost. If you're going here a lot maybe you can save some money and not go for the top quality pork but it's amazing. Tender and juicy, with many different options for sauces, I recommend trying them all. I'm a bit of a traditionalist here and I'm all about the tonkatsu sauce but the other options are good too. One mild hiccup is that they never refilled our hot tea but there is cold tea at the table. Still, the food is awesome, and that's what matters the most to me.

Great Tonkatsu restaurant. The interior, menu, atmosphere are all good. Of course, pork is great. But I always get full with appetizers before Tonkatsu is served..

Good place for groups. I had the chicken tonkatsu which I find rare at most tonkatsu places.
