Two mixed meal sets (@$168) are ordered and served
together with pickles, miso soup and fruit. All cutlet items are crispy
and surely not greasy.
Fried Prawn & Tonkatsu Fillet
吉列大蝦豬柳定食. Tartar sauce, mustard, pork chop sauce and salt are for
dipping. Personally, I like to eat pork chop with a little bit salt. The
pork becomes heavenly tasty.
Fried Oyster & Tonkatsu Loin 吉列生蠔豬扒定食. Oyster is very juicy and pork chop is not dry.
There is unlimited supply of cabbage and rice, which are both from Japan.
Pork
chop sauce (inside the small pot) mixed with grinded sesame is of
course for eating with pork. Another two sauces are for eating with
cabbage.

Tonkichi
is famous for its long queue and delicious cutlet food in Hong Kong.
Though it is not a branch from Japan, Tonkichi is in fact owned by a
Japanese residing in Hong Kong, Pokka Café is also a member in his
group. It has been operating for about 10 years. Restaurant layout and
decoration are of Japanese style.
Nearly all food materials are
imported from Japan. Pork is black pork from Kagoshima, prawn from
Hokkaido and oyster from Hiroshima. Cabbage and rice are also from
Japan. Together with outstanding cooking skill and equipment, impeccable
cutlet foods are served to diners. Tonkichi should be regarded as the
Number One Japanese style cutlet restaurant in Hong Kong.
We
order 2 mixed meal sets, the bill is $397 (average per head $198).
Pricing is a bit expensive. Food quality is very high, to an extent that
there is no difference from those enjoyed in Tokyo. Or, the quality
here sometimes is even higher. All cutlets are not greasy; the original
taste of food materials can be kept and enhanced. Servers are attentive
and polite.
