とんかつ 丸五(まるご)

The best tonkatsu we had in Japan. We were deciding whether to go in or not after being tired from a long day and an old man said, unbidden, "go in, it is very good". He was right. Do yourself a favor and try it.

Great Tonkatsu and the most attentive service that I've seen anywhere in Japan. The moment I finished my tea / rice / salad, a new serving magically appeared in front of me. Highly recommended!

This tonkatsu shop received a lot of positive comments, but frankly I was a bit disappointed. I still give it 4 stars, because I ordered pork fillet ヒレinstead of the fattier pork loin ロイス, which I usually get at a tonkatsu place and like better. I may have a better experience if I had ordered pork loin instead. Anyway, I found the pork a bit dry and too lean. The pork flavor is also not strong. I expect more from a restaurant that charge 2500 yen for tonkatsu.

非常にジューシーなトンカツ。ロースは油と肉のバランスがよく、噛むと肉汁が溢れ出す。ヒレは箸で切れそうな柔らかさ。
いつも混んでいるので、並ぶのが難点ですが比較的回転は良いかと思います。

揚げ物が苦手な妻も、ここのとんかつは例外だそうで、うちはとんかつが食べたくなったら丸五です。
店舗はあまり広くないため、開店前に並ばないとすぐに食べれないかもしれません。私はいつも開店2,30分前に行くようにしています。
ご飯も汁も漬物も美味しく、とても良いお店だと思います！

東京で一番好きな とんかつ屋さんです。
オーダーは、いつも特ロースのセットです。
塩で食べるのが、おすすめです。
柔らかくて、脂身が美味しいですよ。
ご飯とキャベツは、おかわりできます。

Really good tonkatsu. Was in a large group so there was a bit of a wait but they accommodated all of us nicely. Pork was super tasty and the tonkatsu sauce was perfect. Salad was great was well

Best tonkatsu in Tokyo. Must arrive 30 mins early before open get first sitting. All locals here, not another Caucasian in sight. Singles eat at the bar.
