I called in the morning on the same day and visited with one other person at 18:15 on Sunday. The restaurant is located near Kuramae Station along Kokusai-dori, with a utilization rate of 80-90% at the time of the visit. I ordered the sautéed pork loin for 2,400 yen and my companion ordered the pork cutlet for 2,800 yen, each with an additional 300 yen for rice and 200 yen for miso soup. We sat at the counter, where I noticed Worcestershire sauce, salt, sauce, and shichimi pepper available. The tables in the clean interior had a slight smell of oil, but it didn't stick to our clothes. The owner was carefully frying at a low temperature, which was visible from the open counter. The sautéed pork was lightly seared on both sides, then baked in the oven, and finally flambéed with whiskey for seasoning. The rice, served as chawanmushi, was not a large portion, and the miso soup had a spicy kick from shichimi pepper or ginger-like seasoning, which I enjoyed. The sautéed pork was tender, flavorful, and satisfying, with a good umami taste. It paired well with rice, cabbage, and mustard, and I believe it was the best pork sauté I've ever had. My companion and I also shared the pork cutlet, which was juicy and flavorful with just salt. I think the restaurant's deliciousness can compete with top-rated establishments nationwide, even earning a nod from the Michelin Bib Gourmand. While it may not be the best value for money, the taste alone makes it worth it.

Located just a 3-minute walk from Kuramae Station, this popular restaurant opens at 11:30. Despite the long lines before opening, I was able to get in without waiting on a weekday when I visited during opening hours. This old establishment was founded in 1977 near Asakusa's Kaminarimon Gate and relocated in 1991. While their specialty is the pork loin cutlet, I decided to order the shrimp fry (market price) this time. It seemed like about one out of every three people was ordering it. It cost 3500 yen on this day. The shrimp was large and crispy, with a rich and delicious flavor. It's definitely worth trying at least once. I'd like to try the classic pork loin cutlet next time.

The owner of the restaurant was very friendly and approached us with a smile. The tonkatsu meat was delicious, and the batter was also tasty without feeling greasy at all. We happened to pass by this time, but it was the kind of place that makes you want to come back again.

Tonkatsu with rice. Went in the evening so rice had to be ordered separately. The breading of the tonkatsu was crispy, and the pork was more meaty than fatty, making it easy to eat. The miso soup had plenty of ingredients and was delicious. The ingredients were soft and the sweetness of the pork came through.

Visited on August 12, 2023. It's really hot today. I decided to go to a famous Western-style restaurant in Kuramae known for its hamburgers, but it was closed. It's understandable during this time, but it would have been nice if they had put up a notice instead of just closing the door, leaving me a bit frustrated. I ended up finding a nearby tonkatsu restaurant called "Sugita" that was open. I was seated at the counter, which had a beautiful white wood finish. I ordered the following: Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) - 2,500 yen, Rice - 300 yen, Miso soup - 200 yen, totaling 3,000 yen. The food arrived relatively quickly, in about 10 minutes. Sugita is known for its tonkatsu, which is fried twice from low to high temperatures. The tonkatsu had a fine, crispy coating and was beautifully golden brown, moist, and tender. It tasted great with just salt and mustard. The cabbage was finely chopped and delicious, but it could have been drained a bit better, as there was some water pooling on the plate. Overall, it was delicious. I'd like to try their sauté and omelette next time. Thank you for the meal.

A few minutes' walk from Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station, with good access. If you arrive 30 minutes before opening, there's no wait! When the store opened, there were only 6 people in line, and that day they had the lucky Rosu Tonkatsu for 2,500 yen, rice for 300 yen, and pork miso soup for 200 yen. You can only get rice once, but you can have unlimited cabbage refills. You can enjoy watching as they fry in two large copper pots side by side, with a mix of low and high tones. This is real tonkatsu! The fox-colored appearance is beautiful, not following trends but sticking to the traditional style. The cross-section is slightly pink, with fine breadcrumbs and a not too thick coating that is crispy and juicy with a light texture and a sweet meat flavor. The tonkatsu goes really well with salt, and the spicy soy sauce for a change of taste is also delicious! The slightly firm rice with a glossy finish was so good that I ended up getting seconds. The pork miso soup surprisingly had no meat, but the well-seasoned large chunks of daikon were tasty. The roughly cut cabbage was perfect for refreshing the palate, although those who prefer thinner cabbage may not like it. The chef was very kind, even greeting us before opening, which was much appreciated. While the prices are a bit high since the rice and miso soup are charged separately, the quality of the tonkatsu and the service make it worth it. I look forward to trying the hire (fillet) next time.

Sugita is a long-established restaurant that has mastered the taste of tonkatsu. The tonkatsu, with its perfect frying and overflowing meat flavor, is truly the essence of tonkatsu. It is fried using two pots, resulting in a fox-colored tonkatsu with a perfect finish. They use high and low temperature oil, and fry it three times. The tonkatsu has a very nice color, is thick, and delicious.

"Tonkatsu, omelette, rice, and miso soup for 4500 yen... It's not bad, but definitely not worth the price. Especially the omelette. Just a plain omelette for 1500 yen... I ate it, but it's nothing special. The service, clean interior, and atmosphere are not bad, but I won't be visiting again."

I arrived at the festival at 11:15 and was the first one there. By the time the restaurant opened at 11:30, there were already three groups waiting. It seems like there aren't many people coming in, maybe because of the heat. I went inside and ordered tonkatsu (pork cutlet), rice, pork miso soup, and a draft beer. The tonkatsu that came out was excellent, with good meat quality and frying technique, and everything was well-balanced. I think it's one of the top three in Tokyo. I'm debating whether to try the sautéed pork cutlet next time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited a restaurant around 6 pm on a weekday for the first time in a while. The restaurant had counter seats and tables in the back, but I was seated at the counter. According to an online article, this place is known for serving top-class fillet cutlets in Tokyo. I ordered the fillet cutlet, which was tender and had a good thickness. This restaurant doesn't serve set meals, so you have to order rice and miso soup separately. The rice costs 300 yen and the miso soup costs 200 yen. The neighboring customer ordered shrimp fry, but the price wasn't listed on the menu. It seemed to be around 3,000 yen. There were two staff members, the owner and another young man and woman. The owner was multitasking, handling everything from cooking to serving, while the younger staff seemed a bit inexperienced. The customers appeared to be mostly regulars. It was a delicious meal.

I often come back to this place when I feel like eating meat. Probably because the tonkatsu is not heavy and easy to eat. On this day, I also ordered an omelette. Depending on my mood, I choose between ebi fry or omelette. Highly recommended!!

Tonkatsu Sugi-Tada, established in 1977, is a tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) restaurant located in Taito-ku, Tokyo. They open at 13:00 on weekdays and are situated near the intersection of Kokusai-dori and Kasuga-dori, close to the famous "Pan no Pelican" bakery. The nearest station is Kura-mae on the Oedo Line, closer than Tawaramachi on the subway. The restaurant has a traditional, down-to-earth feel with potted plants outside. Inside, there are counter seats, and there may be table seating in the back. The menu is simple, offering tonkatsu and sauté options in both fillet and loin cuts. There are also shrimp fry, omelette, (combination) salad, rice, and miso soup. The reviewer ordered the fillet tonkatsu, rice, and miso soup. The tonkatsu was served on a white plate with shredded cabbage and Japanese mustard. The meat was slightly pink inside, and the breading was finely crumbed. The reviewer enjoyed it with "Umi no Sei" salt, tonkatsu sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. The miso soup contained daikon radish, carrot, and scallions, with shichimi spice. Pickles included radish, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, and kelp with sesame. The reviewer also observed the preparation of a pork sauté and an omelette, both of which looked appetizing. Overall, the reviewer was satisfied with the delicious lunch experience at Tonkatsu Sugi-Tada.

The tonkatsu restaurant facing the main street in Kuramae offers a pork cutlet for 2500 yen (rice is an additional 300 yen), which is a bit pricey. It is delicious, but when considering cost performance, I feel there are other places that are also delicious. The counter is clean and well-made, so it seems like a good place to relax and have a drink from lunchtime onwards.

Tabelog 3.65 Tonkatsu Hyakumeiten 202210/100th store Visited on a weekday night at 19:50 I called ahead to ask if it was okay to visit now, even though it was before the last order time, and they kindly accepted my request. Ordered the Hire Tonkatsu and the Fillet Tonkatsu.

I visited the restaurant at 13:00 on a weekday and there was a vacant seat. I ordered the tonkatsu rosu for ¥2500, rice for ¥300, and pork miso soup for ¥200. The rice and cabbage were refillable. I had called the restaurant the day before to make a reservation and the staff was very friendly, which left a good impression on me even before my visit. Despite some negative reviews, I personally did not experience any issues and enjoyed my meal. Food preferences vary, and I personally prefer the slightly white and chewy tonkatsu over the trendy rare and pink version. The pork miso soup was delicious, and I ended up ordering a second serving as it had ginger in it. The staff were friendly and seemed to be well-trained, unlike the famous restaurant in Asakusa where the staff are known to be rude to customers. The white wooden counter was also beautiful. The disposable chopsticks had a high-quality feel to them, and I couldn't tell if they were washed and reused. I wish I had asked about it.

Kuramae Sugi Tada's shiny and fluffy omelette is a beautiful appetizer before having tonkatsu. This is my second favorite this year! Definitely try the pork fillet here if you want to explore delicious tonkatsu in Tokyo. #MichelinBibGourmand #BibGourmandExplorers (1-2) #Tonkatsu #KuramaeGourmet #Tonkatsu #PorkCutlet #Omelette #BibGourmand #MichelinTokyo #MichelinGuide #TabelogTop100 #TonkatsuLovers #WantToConnectWithFoodies #WantToConnectWithGourmetLovers #michelinbibgourmand #michelintokyo #michelinguide #tokyogourmet #tonkatsu

International Street and Kasuga Street, 30 meters towards Asakusa from the intersection of Jus3, past 11:30, but still "preparing"... waiting in front of the store, and then a duo came from behind and went inside... After a while, the owner came out and flipped the sign to "open". I entered after disinfecting my hands, and surprisingly there were already 3 groups of customers. I was disappointed waiting alone in front of the store, but I regained my mood and entered. The famous white counter caught my eye. Opened in 1977, the first owner, Shiro Sato, was said to be serving pork sauté, but the current second owner, Mitsuaki, has the menu changed to pork cutlet. The white chef's uniform is clean, and the name badge on the chest stands out proudly. I ordered the pork cutlet set (¥2500) with rice and miso soup for an additional ¥500. There is no music. I waited listening to the sound of the meat frying... They mentioned that they had reservations and might close earlier than usual due to sold-out items. They seemed to have received inbound reservations. Asakusa is also close by, and it is bustling. The shrimp fry, omelet, and salad are also recommended. After a short wait... the pork cutlet itself was average, thinly sliced emphasizing thinness, not conveying the goodness of the fat, not using a pork cutlet net, and the oil was also mediocre, not fully utilizing the quality of the meat. The bread crumbs were fine, and the sweetness and umami of the meat were light, lacking punch. The cabbage is cut in-house, but they leave it soaking in water with the tap running. It should be properly drained before serving. The sauce was also watery, and there were puddles of water after the meal... The salt was nothing special. The white rice was one bowl in a teacup, the rice was soft, not shiny, and it didn't seem to be a separate charge for premium rice. The miso soup expressed the pork without using meat, it was not a separate charge, and it felt like a set meal level. The sweetness of the miso flavor was good, but lacking punch with only dashi, not hot, and just ordinary. The pork cutlet set for ¥2500, with rice and miso soup for an additional ¥500, was almost disappointing. The tenderloin is ¥2900 (price increase is unavoidable...) What will happen? It has become a store that you must check for those who lament the upscale trend of the announced Michelin selection. However, it is a Bib Gourmand selected store, so rest assured... My impression is extremely subjective, so please judge for yourself.

I visited during lunchtime on a day off. I was lucky to get in without much waiting. I had the fillet pork cutlet and rice. The rice and miso soup are not included in a set, but ordered separately. The meat was tender and the coating was crispy. It tasted delicious with both sauce and salt. It wasn't greasy at all, easy to eat, and I finished it in no time. The rice was also delicious and I was very satisfied. However, I overheard some conversations in the restaurant (not very positive), which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. It was a shame because the food was so delicious.

We ordered the Rosu Tonkatsu and Hire Ton-Teppan to share. The tonkatsu was delicious, but not incredibly impressive. The ton-teppan had a unique flavor that could be divisive, and personally, I didn't like it. The service from the staff was good, but I felt the prices were a bit high.

The omelette with no unevenness between the yolk and the white is dazzling with the shine of butter, almost divine. When you put your chopsticks in, you find a half-cooked egg sparkling like gold. The perfect cooking creates a fluffy texture, where the rich flavor of the egg mixes with the sweetness of the butter, gently embracing your tongue in a blissful sweetness that melts in your mouth. As you lick your tongue, it slides down your throat, becoming a warm sunny spot in your stomach. The ketchup was served on the side, but before you know it, you've finished it without adding anything. It's the best omelette of my life. I took a bite of the sautéed pork loin and fell in love. The pork is thick, with a generous amount of fat, giving it a chewy, bouncy texture that resists but eventually yields as you bite into it. The mellow aroma of simmered whiskey gently wafts through the air, while the richness of the butter soy sauce spreads thickly, making you crave for rice. Each grain of sweet, slightly sticky Koshihikari rice, cooked to a perfect softness, is enveloped by the pork fat, creating an enticing sweetness that lingers on your tongue. Oh... my taste buds are falling for it. "It's delicious..." I confessed to the owner in a pitiful voice, and he replied with a smile, "I'm grateful..."

This restaurant in Kuramae seems to be loved by regular customers, especially for its tonkatsu. In addition to tonkatsu, they offer a variety of other dishes, making it a popular spot for drinks as well. I tried the tonkatsu and also the omelette on this day, both were delicious. The tonkatsu was fried in high-quality oil and had a great taste. The omelette was fluffy and had a unique flavor. It was quite crowded, so be prepared to wait in line a bit when visiting. Overall, it seems like a good place to visit even if you're dining alone.
