I've always wanted to try this place as I heard it was a greatly kept secret that this served the best pork cutlet in town. I nagged boyfriend who was skeptical and oddly surprised I'd want to go to a place serving deep fried pork. But I said .... I wanted the tonkatsu sandwich. He promptly eye rolled me.Located on Wellington, it's a small door. Go down several flights of stairs until you reach the bottom and you'll find avery small little bar like restaurant.

Located on Wellington, it's a small door. Go down several flights of stairs until you reach the bottom and you'll find avery small little bar like restaurant. It's seriously cramped but yet it was also full. We waited a bit and were given a table as the people who reserved it hadn't arrived yet. It seemed a majority of the patrons were Japanese and they staff also spoke Japanese as well.
Menu is in English, Chinese and Japanese. They have various cutlet sets that include a bowl of rice, miso soup and the shredded cabbage salad served at usual pork cutlet restaurants. They also have curry rice and donburi .
In addition to the sets, they also have a la carte dishes, all using pork. It was a bit like an izakaya for pork. They also have a decent sake selection along with various beer that I noticed they served in a mini glass that was ice cold. They offer a sake tasting set of three sake for $90. That seemed interesting.
Full House ($220). Out of everything on the menu, boyfriend chose this. I guess you go big or go home, right? This was three different pork cutlets: cheese mince cutlet, sirloin cutlet and tenderloin cutlet. This came with a bowl of rice, miso soup, pickles, potato salad and shredded cabbage salad. Only the cabbage gets one free refill. But this was amazing. The meat was moist and juicy. The coating was not too thick and seasoned well. It had a good crunch. The best was the one with the cheese. Loved the potato salad as it was super creamy.
The miso soup was sweetened by the taste of pork. The only thing was the pickles could have been pickled a bit more. They offered tonkatsu sauce which was a bit odd and we didn't like it much. We stuck to the Japanese mustard.
Tenderloin Cutlet Sandwich ($75). I wanted this so this is what I chose. It was really small but this was excellent. The meat was juicy and tender. It was even better than the tenderloin in the Full House set. There was a wasabi mayo on one side with the cabbage and tonkatsu sauce spread on the meat side. This oddly worked. I wish it was bigger but this was a great little bite.
A bit on the expensive side and portion size is not big at all but this is definitely not Ca-Tu-Ya as it's loads better. Definitely the best pork cutlet place in town and will be back.
