London finally has a proper tonkatsu destination. Katsuro keeps its focus tight, with a menu centred on crisp pork loin and juicy chicken thigh, handled with care from fresh breadcrumbs to precise frying. It is comfort food grounded in technique and consistency, without unnecessary flourishes.
Led by its chef-owner, whose experience spans professional kitchens in Korea, Japan, and Australia, the restaurant has a relaxed, easy atmosphere that works as well for regular neighbourhood visits as it does for those coming specifically for the tonkatsu — a place built for returning to.
Editor’s Highlights
- Call in advance to make sure they premium tonkatsu that day as the regular one can be dry.
