Tonkatsu House

Food: Been bringing my family to this joint for years. Food remains decent quality. The prices definitely went up. Understandable, since the economy is decimated by the criminals running the government (ABC department store on the 3rd floor, that sells Korean home goods, shuttered. Out of business.) But that's another topic. Let's stick to food review. Portion size seems to be unchanged. Got two orders of the big combo. Burger patty was tender and creamy, but might have too much filler mixed in. I could hardly taste the ground meat. The cutlet seemed dry and the cuts got thinner. The fish cutlet shrunk, as well, compared to a few years ago. Service: I received extremely rude service from an older korean woman. I was simply asking for extra plates and utensils for a bigger order, and I got yelled at, telling me in broken english "ask for every thing at once! so i don't have to go up and down up and down!" That's a weird thing to complain about. I didn't setup your restaurant layout. Maybe you should improve utensil placement rather than yelling at your paying customers. I just laughed it off. Atmosphere: Standard fare for food courts. A mix of families and older koreans hanging out.

Fresh tonkatsu every time. Today I got the classic #17 tonkatsu and the #3 NY Hamburg steak (Salisbury steak). The #3 NY Hamburg steak was way better than expected. What a delight, for reals. They have a French style tonkatsu that is served with french fries. Fast service.

Not quite sure why others rate this place so low, I mean, it’s a food court restaurant… the food was above average, portions are generous and price is reasonable. The #17 is the most famous dish but for my money the #2 Boston Variety Combo is the one to get.

Their special says 13.70 plus tax ends up at $18, wish there was more rice. Portion is okay, but if you want the smallest to go box, it’ll cost you $.50. Probably not worth it even if you see other people get it.

For Korean food lover this is a fast food restaurant that’s specialize in tonkatsu, which breaded fried chicken, pork, fish etc… The price is very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The pork was very crunchy and good also the chicken and it had a good flavor. If you’re on the go and don’t have much time this a good fast food place.

소스가 너무 맛있는 옛날 돈까스 맛집인데요 진짜는 함박 스테이크 입니다,, 아주 맛있어요 치즈돈까스도 맛있습니다..! Old school Korean King Tonkatsu (옛날 왕돈까스) is really good (has nice sweet tangy sauce - similar to Hawaiian pork cutlet) , comes with marcaroni salad & fresh thin-sliced cabbage salad, and hot steamed rice. I REALLY recommend all the meat lovers to try the Hamburger Steak, which has really bold and simple flavor. Best 함박스테이크 ハンバーグステーキ I’ve ever tasted (westernized hamburger steak with rice) in Koreatown. Parking: The customers can get Free parking validation stamp when you buy from the store
