Ordered a Pork loin curry set. The pork was well fried. Crispy outside and juicy inside. The curry was thick but not fragrant or spicy enough. I would say this set is really filling. The short grain rice was very nice too. Generous portions of pork, rice and lettuce. We also had a grilled fish set. The set is quite generous and no complaints about the quality. Update: came back again and brought a few more friends. We ordered the 3 person portions and Spanish pork katsu. It's all good.

Amazing tonkatsu, one of the best in Singapore! I would say it is even on par with tonkatsu in Japan. You must absolutely order their shared tonkatsu platter, either for 2 or 3 people with different pricing. If individual sets are more to your liking, you can choose from a wide variety of tonkatsu, including Japanese, Spanish or other kinds of pork, whichever you fancy. The restaurant itself has a nice ambience and there is also a sushi bar and sushi menu items that you can order with your tonkatsu too. All in all, a very nice tonkatsu food spot to add to your to-eat checklist!

I made a reservation through Quandoo, sadly my reservation was not in their list. Thank goodness there is an empty table for 2 pax near the entrance. We were usher to that table. Service was excellent. Our orders were served fast (within 10-15mins), food tasted awesome!!!

This place serves really good tonkatsu. It is as good as those in Japan. Super crispy on the outside but tender inside. We ordered different types of sets that came with sushi and sashimi. The sushi and sashimi were also very good. The sets were priced at attractive prices and really filling. Service here is excellent.

Have a great dinner at Tonkichi. By far one of the better and reasonable prices Japanese Tonkatsu restaurant in Singapore. If I am not wrong, they have another outlet at Takashimaya. I went for Chicken Tonkatsu but it was not as great as the Pork Tonkatsu. Love the crispy and fragrance crust. Really good batter fries to almost perfection. The Cheesy Pork Tonkatsu was a hit with my kids and so was the typical Japanese slightly sweetened Curry Tonkatsu. The Claypot (Sukiyaki like) Tonkatsu is a definite order on my next visit. All sets come with free flow cabbages which tasted fresh and fantastic with the sesame sauce. Ordered a couple of drink but no pictures as I was too focused on the glorious Tonkatsu. Highly recommended. Might a queue so be prepared to wait or have reservations. I would give a 10 out of 10 for the dishes.

Tonkichi will always come to mind when it’s tonkatsu in Singapore. The thing that stands out for this branch of Tonkichi is that they serve sushi and sashimi as well. There’s 4 variety of tonkatsu served here - original, England, Japan or Spain. Personally, I think you will do no wrong to go for the original or Japan. However, I decided to try something new - England. I was quite disappointed with it to be honest. The meat feels tough and the fat wasn’t really rendered well. Skin was crispy though. The saba set was basic, everything you can expect from a saba but with more bones than usual. The thick cut salmon sashimi was fresh and really appetizing. The rice quality was one of the best I had for a Tonkatsu chain. Fluffy and easy to eat with the main dishes served. The cabbage wasn’t cut fine enough but I think that could be a personal preference. Overall, great place to satisfy your Tonkatsu craving in Orchard area.

It was ver good, the katsu was well breaded and it was pretty crunchy. The best thing in my opinion is the free cabbage refill that you can ask the staff, the cabbage itself was so fresh and very crunchy. Other than that, they had the DIY sauce for the customer experience.

Tonkichi Shaw Centre is THE standard for tonkatsu in SG. Limpeh has eaten at other tonkatsu places in SG, as well as many other tonkatsu places in Nihon so he is qualified to say this. As a restaurant brand under Pokka Corp (jap company), the food and service standard has been kept at a consistently high level since i first ate there circa 2008. I pretty much don't bother with Imakatsu or any other tonkatsu place in SG when i feel like a tonkatsu fix. Tonkichi Shaw Centre is just that good (note that i specifically state Shaw Centre, not the other branches). Their Shirobuta pork from Hokkaido is easily a match for Tontake in Shinjuku, Katsutei in Sasebo and Tamura Ginkatsu in Hakone. If it has run out, Limpeh's next option is the standard menu's Oroshi Rosu Katsu. The grated radish and ponzu sauce provide a very refreshing counterpoint to the juicy pork encrusted with crunchy light-fried panko. I won't bother with the non-Japanese Iberico pork option because you are essentially paying for freight from Spain. Though the tonkatsu is the star, the supporting cast (other food) on their menu capably holds their own - Limpeh recommends the Agedashi Tofu and Spicy Tuna Roll to compliment your Tonkatsu Mains. Limpeh say : come come, ho chiak!

Comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges… for the price, this place is quite disappointing. This place is known for tonkatsu and their unlimited shredded cabbage salad. I tried the set for 2 pax where they had a little bit of everything and it’s disappointing. The pork was of poor quality for the price and was poorly done. The prawn was quite small and a little dry inside. What disappointed me the most of the cabbage. It was the cheap sort of cabbage which isn’t sweet and leaves a slight after taste. And the sesame sauce used was the cheap kind. And I have a feeling the sesame was not even roasted. For the price… I was kinda expecting restaurant standards and this was considered beginner’s home cooking at best.

Came here to celebrate family members birthday, however was horrified by the unpleasant experience towards the end. Food was decent, dimsum quite nice. Having an SG 60 promotion where you can get each plate of dimsum at 3.20++. We became really full and we wanted to takeaway a few of the remaining pieces to prevent waste. We were shocked when the staff informed us that we were not allowed to take away the food because we got it at the promotion price - and would need to upgrade to the non promotion price to takeaway the remaining few pieces. We tried to explain that we were really really full, and we wanted to avoid food wastage - they refused to entertain our request, saying that it is written on the paper that only dine in is allowed; they also mentioned that their staff taking the orders would normally remind patrons at the time of ordering, just that in our case their staff had forgotten to remind us. We were also informed that whatever dimsum we could not finish would simply be thrown away. Staff tried to empathize and fill up our tea more etc but this really ruined our birthday celebration and left a sour taste in the mouth. We ended up forcing ourselves to finish up everything there and then to the point of discomfort to prevent wastage. Please take note of the feedback and kindly build some flexibility into your system. It's honestly upsetting to see food literally go into the trash due to this "policy". Thank you.
