Tonta
A legendary tonkatsu restaurant in Takadanobaba since 1976. Tabelog 3.85/1,886 reviews, selected for Tabelog Tonkatsu 100 multiple years. No reservations, cash only, open only 3 days a week — a true artisan's shop. Run by just the owner couple, but the freshly fried tonkatsu is considered exceptional. 6-min walk from Takadanobaba Station.
Reviews: 'Open only 3 days a week but I keep going back,' 'The crunchiness and thickness are on a different level from other tonkatsu restaurants,' 'Nearly 50 years since founding with no decline in skill,' 'One of the top tonkatsu in Tokyo.' Tabelog Award Bronze 2017-2020.
