  • Have you ever had trouble deciphering the difference between tonkatsu and tonkotsu? Well, you're in luck because Mr. Tonkatsu will set you straight. It's a shrine that worships the Japanese fried pork cutlet (tonkatsu), not the milky broth of ramen (tonkotsu) that some, the unfaithful, would confuse it with. Their pig mascot dressed in Japanese garb and armed with a sword is yet another subtle hint that pork clearly is their specialty, but you are welcome to choose other fried Panko-battered cutlets (or "katsus") such as chicken, beef, or fish as part of your set. The tonkatsu sampler consists of pork sirloin and tenderloin katsus as well as chicken katsu, a great set for the indecisive. The waiter explained that the pork sirloin is the most popular katsu and also has the "softest" texture. As expected, the pork tenderloin was "firmer" but it was still quite tender in its own right. Regardless of preference, both cutlets were juicy. The chicken cutlet was on the bland side but there was a sweet and sticky sauce in a teardrop vessel to remedy that. As an added novelty, you grind your personal supply of sesame seeds with a mortar and wooden pestle to give your sauce extra flavour and aroma. The best feature of the katsu is still the crispy and far reaching deep fried Panko batter exterior. Admittedly, although tasty, the batter holds a good amount of oil. It's not as light as it could be but at least the katsu sits on a metal rack to allow excess oil to drip through and to preserve it's crispiness. Accompanying the katsu is a bowl of miso, shredded cabbage and steamed rice, sides which are all refillable. The shredded cabbage is incredibly dry and bland, perhaps to absorb all the grease from your katsu? It's a moot point though, because you end up drenching the cabbage with sesame oil dressing anyways. Nevertheless, the wait staff are friendly and attentive. Without even looking up, our waiter replenished our sauces by squirting them directly into our bowls! You can't say Mr. Tonkatsu is not dedicated to their craft but be prepared for a heavy meal. It's a relatively good option when you have a craving for fried food but it can be off-putting otherwise as everything on menu, including the appetizers, is deep fried. Unfortunately, the cabbage doesn't help..
